I'm a 68 yr old lady, proud army & these young men saved my life literally. Stopped me from committing suicide . I'm grateful to these young men for their uplifting messages. American artists said they weren't rappers, performers & couldn't sing. Also they are just a boys band & wouln't last. Lol, surprise haters!! Mic drop was a message to all the haters. They were saying how many awards & trophies they've won. How they have sold out concerts. Told the haters they are done with them, no need to apologize bc they don't want it. No further, they are who they are, no excuses & as Suga said ,"Ah,sue me !" They're saying they won't address the haters again. BTS is still cautious with other artists bc they had been used for clout, had to deal with the racism directed toward them etc. Great message bc now they can pick & choose who they want to collab with. So looking forward to their world tour. Gotta love & respect my baby-boys for who they are, beautiful people. Akita, 🇺🇸 lady
@@ILmylife108 we can't help loving all 7 of our baby-boys. They're so kind, gentle & improve our lives with their clear messages. I'm very glad that, even though I didn't mean to, I listened to them by being on a reactor that I always watch. I was hooked & not one time have I ever regretted loving them. Much love my friend. Stay safe, healthy with laughter/music guiding your path through life! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Akita, a fellow 🇺🇸 army. 🗽🗽
Akita - THANK GOODNESS you happened upon BTS in time to save yourself! Judging by your comment you've found a safe haven in the seven members. So have I (67-year-old white gay guy ARMY). The themes BTS explores have meaning to most of the listening audience. The guys tell us to respect ourselves, because respect brings forth love. But they also tell us to respect others - so long as the "others" aren't acting maliciously. The love yourself concept is a bit radical for Southeast Asia, wherein family and company (the company one works for) matter a great deal. But here's the deal - one can only give his or her all to others if they respect and love themselves. You keep on respecting and loving yourself. Remember that, like BTS, you are a beautiful person. BORAHAE!
AKITA, my name is helene and i’m 65 so we both r in a sultry relationship with the seven young men not just one just but seven young men and i don’t know about you but I’m enjoying it very much. nice to talk to ARMY
Undeniably true, as the potato chip commercial says, you can't eat just one ! We need them all bc they're a pkg set. Not 6,5,4,3,2 or 1 but 7. By the way 7 is a lucky # lol or @ least the way I see it. Nice to have you respond & that we think alike. Anyway keep it real, let laughter/music guide you path through life. Have a great day & a peaceful evening.
For the budget thing...like u must know they r the only group who was earning for their whole company at that time...so they still did much with what they had i would say...we armys really love bighit/hybe for that...and yes bang si hyuk their ceo is a person we would love to bow around😭💜😊
He should check out ddaeng. That classical oriental instrument with hip hop beat is fire. Vocal line....house of cards, has a great brass and string section. I do have to say though, Lucas, that smile would melt anyone. Damn.
MIC Drop is the song that made me ARMY. :) They are fans of Kanye, Drake, Eminem, ASAP, ... a ton of the OG rappers. They have in-house producers, but Suga and RM produce a lot of their own beats.
Some of BTS recurrent/Korean producers: - PDogg (Big Hit in house producer. He was their teacher pre-debut, also their main in house producer, currently like a music director I guess, that why he's everywhere... Has a background in classic music/not sure if he specialized on classical or jazz... I would assume jazz based on his music, but it's just a guess... Also knows a lot about hiphop, extremely eclectic style of work) - Slow Rabbit (Big Hit in house producer. Known for his beautiful melodies/compositions, tends to have more of a sentimental/sensitive vibe, currently in charge of TXT too) - Hitman Bang (Bang PDnim, also founder and chairman of Big Hit Ent., studied aesthetics in university which is something like philosophy and ethics in relation to the arts, became a famous music producer under JYP Ent., used to produce ballads, only learned to produce hiphop during the process of putting BTS group together... Says he became so obsessed with hiphop, he forgot how to do anything else lol He's also like a music director, usually has credits in all title tracks and sociopolitical tracks) - Supreme Boi (ex- Big Hit rapper trainee, stayed as a music producer, has more of an edgy-90s hiphop mixed with punkish-teen-rebel-wannabe-bad-guy thing going on his sound... His touch is very recognizable) - ADORA (good melodies, sometimes sings backup female vocals, sweet lovely voice, recently left Big Hit, in order to debut as a solo artist in another smaller company) - DOCSKIM (in house Big Hit producer, keyboardist of the "Ghost Band" that performs with BTS on concerts, his tracks often have a film score vibe, like dramatic and kinda orchestral) - Hiss Noise (producer, lyricist) - EL CAPITXN (formerly known as J.Pearl... Singer songwriter, former member of the boy group HISTORY) - Bumzu (singer/artist under Pledis Ent., cheerful guy, energetic joyful sound, has collaborated/helped Jin with his solos) - Suga (makes beats, hiphop lover, but also likes to produce soft or bright songs for female vocalists with high pitched and unique timbers) - RM (eclectic, hiphop lover, focuses on lyricism first and builds the song around that, has a liking for melancholic indie rock music) - J Hope (makes beats, usually works in collaboration with someone instead of alone, often goes for a 90s pop-funk influence, extremely good and creative musicality) Foreign producers that have occasionally collaborated with BTS/Big Hit (mostly since Love Yourself album series Era): - Jordan ‘DJ Swivel’ Young (seems to work usually with Jungkook) - Candace Nicole Sosa - Melanie Joy Fontana (I think she works with her husband Michel “Lindgren” Schulz too, but we don't like them, because they're arrogant and try to take all the credit... Anyways, she mostly makes hook melodies and some backup vocals) - Steve Aoki (Japanese-American DJ, I believe he works with a team of producers though) - Ed Sheeran (British pop-folk singer/songwriter) - Sleep Deez - Cosmo’s Midnight Etc... Basically, teams of foreign producers send demos or beats to Big Hit, and if they find something that's good quality or suitable for the members direction and concept for the album they're working on, they take that demo and work over it with the BTS members and their in house team. Usually the members do most of the songwriting in Korean and modify melodies and add alibis as they edit the songs.
If you watch the Mic Drop dance practice you will hear the original version of Mic Drop (without Steve Aioki). The dance practice is actually the camera check for their stage performance at MAMA 2017.
19:49 there is a song called Hip Hop Lover that will answer your question lol listen to it with the lyrics on, you will see more of BTS’ background there.
I got my BTS introduction on the Tiny Desk Concert and the first recommendation that You Tube brought up for me when I fell down the rabbit hole was the dance practise for this song. I was hooked. I then went looking and found this version. The dance practise is a bit different (and uses more Korean lyrics) but it still made me sit up and take note. After learning about want they went through with all the haters, I really enjoyed this. The break is them saying this is the last time we're gonna give you haters any thought - don't try to apologise, we don't want to hear it! They do fab live performances of it too.
It's ok to have a bias. You can have a bias but still love them all. They also have a lot of songs and in different styles so it is expected that there will be favorites and even some you don't like...
Thanks for sharing this with Lucas. He maybe needs to know the reason for Mic Drop- it's their response to haters who showed unbelievable levels of disrespect and rudeness to their faces - especially RM and Suga who had been underground rappers, but were told that now they are behaving like girls because they get make up done to go on stage. The emotion they include in this is real, and, while it is a flex, it also reveals their real pain and vulnerability. This is why so many of us love BTS. We love that everything they do is genuine, and they are very honest and real. As it happens, I also like this a lot more than Butter, which at first I disliked. Now, knowing that all it is meant to be is a letter from BTS to cheer up ARMY and other people all over the world, I love it.
Yes, they know Kanye. In fact, his name has been mentioned more than once in the rap line’s lyrics. If you’re curious about their hip-hop influences, you should definitely react to the their old song Hip-Hop Phile (or also called Hip-Hop Lovers). There are color-coded lyric videos and there’s even a live performance of it.
Cathy Kim was the producer for the MV. Pdogg produced the song and then Steve Aoki did the remix. Suga helps to produce a lot of their songs and they write their own music. Suga is always creating beats. RM and J hope we're the main writers/lyrics for Mic Drop. But yes they have a production team that works with them. Pdogg, Supreme Boi, Bang PD, and Slow Rabbit to name a few .
I feel like Lucas would also really enjoy Dionysus, Ddaeng, Cyphers 1-4, Ugh, Black Swan,Lie, Singularity and the Truth Untold. Take your time. There are fans that watch BTS reactors for funny content, but I feel like there are even more who love getting to learn about their production elements. I feel when BTS release their next album which should be pretty soon you will definitely be closer to meeting your goals. Armys love to check out new reactors when new music is dropped and they will definitely love what they find.
When you said their music transcends time like Queen and The Beatles you nailed it. I kept wanting to make comparisons to the greats, because that's what BTS music feels like, but never could get to the point of why other than it's just great music that feels brand new yet instantly familiar all at once. It's because it transcends the time it was made.
The behind the scenes (Production) that you explain in most of your video reactions; is what I find very enlightening and interesting. Because, the vocals, the performance and the production values are all part of the end-game of any video or performance. Thank you.
MIC DROP is the song that made me ARMY when I saw them perform it in 2019. 💜 Totally fair that you can like some songs better than others (even ok if there are ones you don't like). Army can be protective, but your opinions are your own and I appreciate your insights as artists and musicians.
Oh for sound production of the Rapline you need Ugh and Ddaeng, both of which are amazing rap songs (need Dkdktv explanation for the amazing Korean references and word play) but the production is top. And yes we love Lucas but for me I just enjoy the way you both discuss the production and music. You riff off each other making it a more dynamic and fun experience for you two and us, but I also appreciate it’s not an every video thing because paying work etc takes priority. Great reaction!
Does Lucas list also include their solo performances? The diversity comes in here too with Rm persona Suga daechwita Jin epiphany Jhope ego V singularity Jk euphoria Jimin serendipity ( or interesting twist - lie)
I’m 65 year old new ARMY this year. They have to be the hardest working entertainers ever. Don’t call them a “pop” group. Everything they do is so complex from lyrics, choreography to the music. They never just “phone” it in. 💜💜
They have a song called Hip hop lover. There is a live performance with subtitles. This song talks about their hip hop background. Please react to it with Lucas and also Outro Tear live.
You need to listen to Hip Hop Lover (by the whole group) to know who inspired them. It's a salute to all of their Hip Hop icons. (And it's amazing of course 😏)
There is no MV of the original version (pre Steve Aoki), but there is the BTS Comeback special where they do it live. It was really good, but this version was better. Then there is a version (audio only) with Steve Aoki and ft Desiigner on several music platforms. BTS were really starting to show up as a new, almost big time, player in the American music scene at this time, and Mic Drop really helped them in that goal. Lots of people who liked rap, but had no idea about kpop, discovered BTS during this time.
Ao the boys all tell us that they are constantly trying to improve and evolve thats why they are so diverse. They dont mind mixing styles or genres to suit what they want to potray in their music and its an absolute joy for people who find them to go thru the discography in order. Also there are so many "B" sides that would have been mega hits if released as singles. To be honest they dont make any bad songs, there might be one or two that dont appeal to a person but they have over 300 songs including all the mixtapes and the other stuff they have released on soundcloud and given to us for free. If you follow the journey you can see the work they have put in and also that their music as grown with them as they sing about what affects them at the time.
I agree. "Their music transcends the time when it was created". Their songs, the ones written and produced by them, will continue to be favorites not only of their fans but music lovers everywhere.
I love the fact that your producer comes from the metal background, I get the exact same feeling when a more agressive and strong song from bts comes up I just get super pumped up, makes me feel much much more and I tend to be drawn in by those immediately (although I love all the songs).
Their new albums bout to drop and I want so badly for the type of MIC Drop raw elements to be included. Add in how much they've grown as young men and a group. The mix of Old Skool beats and funk with current moods. Nice breakdown guys ✌😎
Jhope wrote the first part of the MIC DROP and made it that he sang. He explained meaning of Bulletproof that is against any oppression and prejudice in this society. He said 방탄소년단 Bulletproof Boy Scout(防彈小年團) means that they stand against any of attack, suppression and racism in the world. So they need Army who are supporting with dancing and singing so that they can fight together against any toxic society. He wants to shine upon his fans from dark society into Sunlights 🌞
I loved this remix but I was blown away but their lasts concert Busan 2022 when they opened with this to their live band it was a move heavy rock beat very high impact, and they went straight into Run Bullitproof(BTS). I don't know how they do it the stamina they have talk about fitness levels.
I think you're both gonna love their Japanese releases. "Lights" has amazing production, there's so many layers and so much going on but it all blends beautifully. 😌
Lmao... I love listening to you two discuss the mixing.... I've listened to this song nearly every day and very often several times a day since it was released and I hear absolutely NOTHING you talk about...UNTIL you mention it and then 🤯 Which is way cool!!! Same goes with the Dimash reactions.. I had no awareness of nor any intrest in knowing anything about mixing or producing or how microphones work 🤣🤣🤣 i hear all kinds of stuff now .. we were listening to the radio in the car and I said ooooo did you hear how those drums faded in??? And all my friends looked at me like I had lost my mind... so yeah. I do enjoy, very much, discovering new things about familiar music! I thank you both for that! Great content as always
Wow, introduce Lucas to rap now. Cyphers 1-4, Hip Hop Phile, Outro:Tear, Ddaeng, Ugh. And their mixtapes. Mic Drop was inspired by Obama dropping the mic after his speech. This song pulled me into BTS, never left my workout playlist since then.
all i keep thinking about is that they were promoting go go (and dna) at a similar time and i kinda want him to see that in particular for the contrast (attitude and production wise) :D
WOW! Great commentary! "The second season of a show that goes on for 11 seasons" "You can tell in their attitudes, where they're like: I'm pretty sure this is me" "They look so hungry." WHOAAA so apt!
If you're curious about their early Hip Hop influences, you should react to their song Hip Hop Lover. The rap line does the verses and the vocal line does the chorus. It's basically them answering why they love Hip Hop.
There is a behind / making for this video, but it's focused more on the filming than the music production. I don't know if it's something you'd want to react to, but it could be something fun to watch anyway. I always find any glimpse behind the scenes to be fascinating.
I think it's ok to have a bias, a favorite, but recognizing that these are 7 talented dudes who have their strengths in different areas of performing and such is important too. Ranking them above one another isn't something I'd do, but you're allowed to say that in this song and that song you prefer this voice or this verse. My bias is Suga, but the other six weirdos keep stealing my attention for various things, and I love them for that.
If you two have time you should check out Hip Hop Lover with the lyrics. Its an older song and the rap line spends each verse paying homage to their influences and american hip hop
Thank you very much for your reaction. I do love this MIC Drop. This is cool and people can feel big energy and their anger for all the absurd around them. Anyway, I finally got your producer friend's name, Lucas. Soon, I will hear your name, too. Thanks again. Merry Christmas from Korea. ☺
Hi, I am really impressed by their voices so exact and with so many different nuances of these guys, and live they are so great and maybe more than in the videos, that's why I get excited every time I see them and how natural they are, without trying too hard They reach wonderful and high voices, they are really great, their talents of each one and everything that leads BTS to be the best band of the year in music even if it is not recognized by the people who decree the grammys, they miss it if they don't They give it to them this year, well, with everything that BTS is for people not only in music and artistic gifts, but also as humble people that they are when treating them, they have become icons for people who see in them a way of a different life, healthier, and respecting himself and valuing himself spiritually; Maybe people needed something like that after they saw the churches fall and lost faith, especially the young people who in silence began to show their disappointment in their bodies without seeing positive results and in the search for a table of salvation, and in that The way I found these young people who gave them another type of strength, accepting and valuing themselves as they are, loving their bodies, and others, accepting the bad as learning for their lives with courage, pride, and strength: that's why BTS It became the greatest thing in the lives of young people and they have taught it to their parents and grandparents, and they have also changed their lives to feel happier and more grateful: since nothing they impose, only with their example of their lives and their talents have made something that even they do not understand in extent or magnitude, since their only purpose was to get the youth out of suicide, drugs and discouragement of life: BTS are boys who still have a lot to know and I saw vir in life, they are not perfect since they are human like all of us, only that they try to give the best of them sincerely and with respect to their public whom they love and who loves them: they give everything for that love that ARMI da, even if they have to give up many things in their lives, but consider that that is the sacrifice for being BTS
GO : ON Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh we will give it to him it’s close. Almost the same meaning. 🤪 Also 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 the honesty always stay true and honest both you and Lucas.
RM likes Kanye in there song hip-hop lover the rappers of the group state their musical influences and I hope lie and Dionysis are on the Lucas playlist
Well for rap, You won’t hear too much on their group albums and songs coz its for everyone and each one only have a few verse and aims to cater for every listener there is. If you want to hear them rap, check out the rapline’s songs Outro:Tear, Cyphers 1-4, Ddaeng(vocal line did this live too) and UGH. It will also be worth your time to check out their solo songs.
Omg just subscribed. You guys are so knowledgeable. I love the videos you react together ams sincerely hope you'll shoot some more. Heck I'd pay to hear you break down the music because it really makes me appreciate it more as I'm clueless. Thank you
Hey Guys, How's it going? I'm enjoying watching you school Lucas on BTS and their fandom! It's been fun. Lucas, I'm enjoying your opinions etc...also. You guys are doing great and your vibe is very welcoming. Thanks for doing this for all of us!
"Covid has changed everything". As have various social medias have. Talent previously meant who knew who, or being "discovered". Now people are creating their own and showing it to the world. And the world is choosing not just the record labels.
Yes, they are a huge fan of Kanye, Eminem, Lamar etc. RM's idol is Nas. Their main producer Pdogg is a hiphop musician. Listen to BTS' song 'Hip hop Lover' and you will see in the lyrics the names of rappers that they look up to.
You should react to *Cypher Medley live concert* 👀 Also solo's projects like Airplane by J-hope, Joke by RM, People by Agust D, Serendipity by Jimin live concert, Singularity by V, Epiphany by Jin, Begin by Jk and a clasic Pied Piper by BTS 💜
Jhope wants to break down the walls of suppression, oppression, prejudice, discrimination, and racism in the 🌎 world. That's why his name is Jhope who wants to shine upon his fans from the darkness into his Hope World with his Sunlights ✨ 💜 😉
Euphoria and Magic Shop - there are videos of DJ Swivel showing how he produced and mixed the tracks for these songs. Should be interesting for you and Lucas to watch
Honestly, waking up from a nightmare is helped by hearing your intro tho cuz like aint nobody say that Crow to me unless I say it myself (only kinda sad about that, I havent asked to be told either so)
It took me a long time to move on from this song and their live performance 🤣🤣🤣 watching your reaction now, made me go back to Mic Drop 🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜 Thank you!

I'm a 68 yr old lady, proud army & these young men saved my life literally. Stopped me from committing suicide . I'm grateful to these young men for their uplifting messages.
American artists
said they weren't rappers, performers & couldn't sing. Also they are just a boys band & wouln't last. Lol, surprise haters!!
Mic drop was a message to all the haters. They were saying how many awards & trophies they've won. How they have sold out concerts.

Great message bc now they can pick & choose who they want to collab with.
So looking forward to their world tour.
Gotta love & respect my baby-boys for who they are, beautiful people.

Without pdogg army would not exist!
Some of BTS recurrent/Korean producers:
- PDogg (Big Hit in house producer. He was their teacher pre-debut, also their main in house producer, currently like a music director I guess, that why he's everywhere... Has a background in classic music/not sure if he specialized on classical or jazz... I would assume jazz based on his music, but it's just a guess... Also knows a lot about hiphop, extremely eclectic style of work)
- Slow Rabbit (Big Hit in house producer. Known for his beautiful melodies/compositions, tends to have more of a sentimental/sensitive vibe, currently in charge of TXT too)
- Hitman Bang (Bang PDnim, also founder and chairman of Big Hit Ent., studied aesthetics in university which is something like philosophy and ethics in relation to the arts, became a famous music producer under JYP Ent., used to produce ballads, only learned to produce hiphop during the process of putting BTS group together... Says he became so obsessed with hiphop, he forgot how to do anything else lol He's also like a music director, usually has credits in all title tracks and sociopolitical tracks)
- Supreme Boi (ex- Big Hit rapper trainee, stayed as a music producer, has more of an edgy-90s hiphop mixed with punkish-teen-rebel-wannabe-bad-guy thing going on his sound... His touch is very recognizable)
- ADORA (good melodies, sometimes sings backup female vocals, sweet lovely voice, recently left Big Hit, in order to debut as a solo artist in another smaller company)
- DOCSKIM (in house Big Hit producer, keyboardist of the "Ghost Band" that performs with BTS on concerts, his tracks often have a film score vibe, like dramatic and kinda orchestral)
- Hiss Noise (producer, lyricist)
- EL CAPITXN (formerly known as J.Pearl... Singer songwriter, former member of the boy group HISTORY)
- Bumzu (singer/artist under Pledis Ent., cheerful guy, energetic joyful sound, has collaborated/helped Jin with his solos)
- Suga (makes beats, hiphop lover, but also likes to produce soft or bright songs for female vocalists with high pitched and unique timbers)
- RM (eclectic, hiphop lover, focuses on lyricism first and builds the song around that, has a liking for melancholic indie rock music)
- J Hope (makes beats, usually works in collaboration with someone instead of alone, often goes for a 90s pop-funk influence, extremely good and creative musicality)
Foreign producers that have occasionally collaborated with BTS/Big Hit (mostly since Love Yourself album series Era):
- Jordan ‘DJ Swivel’ Young (seems to work usually with Jungkook)
- Candace Nicole Sosa
- Melanie Joy Fontana (I think she works with her husband Michel “Lindgren” Schulz too, but we don't like them, because they're arrogant and try to take all the credit... Anyways, she mostly makes hook melodies and some backup vocals)
- Steve Aoki (Japanese-American DJ, I believe he works with a team of producers though)
- Ed Sheeran (British pop-folk singer/songwriter)
- Sleep Deez
- Cosmo’s Midnight
Etc... Basically, teams of foreign producers send demos or beats to Big Hit, and if they find something that's good quality or suitable for the members direction and concept for the album they're working on, they take that demo and work over it with the BTS members and their in house team. Usually the members do most of the songwriting in Korean and modify melodies and add alibis as they edit the songs.
😃👍🏼
Good job!
Thank you for this💜
great, ty!
Wow, very good info!
Brilliant! Great info!!
Jimins "Lie" should be om that Luckas list.......
And Jins "Super Tuna"😄

Ddaeng and Rap line Cyphers 2, 3, 4 are a blast. The Truth Untold is amazingly well written and sang by the vocal line.
Cypher Medley, nothing as Cyphers live.
I got my BTS introduction on the Tiny Desk Concert and the first recommendation that You Tube brought up for me when I fell down the rabbit hole was the dance practise for this song. I was hooked. I then went looking and found this version. The dance practise is a bit different (and uses more Korean lyrics) but it still made me sit up and take note. After learning about want they went through with all the haters, I really enjoyed this. The break is them saying this is the last time we're gonna give you haters any thought - don't try to apologise, we don't want to hear it! They do fab live performances of it too.
Tiny Desk Concert…that performance was the very beginning for me too 👍
Same
It's ok to have a bias. You can have a bias but still love them all. They also have a lot of songs and in different styles so it is expected that there will be favorites and even some you don't like...

I feel when BTS release their next album which should be pretty soon you will definitely be closer to meeting your goals. Armys love to check out new reactors when new music is dropped and they will definitely love what they find.
So looking forwards to See you Go through your "Lucas list" together😂
I just can't wait too. It is a whole Lucas list 😍😍😍😂😂😂
same
Don't forget that you said about reacting to Daechwita with Lucas
When you said their music transcends time like Queen and The Beatles you nailed it. I kept wanting to make comparisons to the greats, because that's what BTS music feels like, but never could get to the point of why other than it's just great music that feels brand new yet instantly familiar all at once. It's because it transcends the time it was made.
The behind the scenes (Production) that you explain in most of your video reactions; is what I find very enlightening and interesting. Because, the vocals, the performance and the production values are all part of the end-game of any video or performance. Thank you.
Yes! I knew he would love it💜
btw mic drop with Steve Aoki is a remix, the original song has a old school hip hop melody and produced by one of their in house producers, pdogg
MIC DROP is the song that made me ARMY when I saw them perform it in 2019. 💜 Totally fair that you can like some songs better than others (even ok if there are ones you don't like). Army can be protective, but your opinions are your own and I appreciate your insights as artists and musicians.
Oh for sound production of the Rapline you need Ugh and Ddaeng, both of which are amazing rap songs (need Dkdktv explanation for the amazing Korean references and word play) but the production is top. And yes we love Lucas but for me I just enjoy the way you both discuss the production and music. You riff off each other making it a more dynamic and fun experience for you two and us, but I also appreciate it’s not an every video thing because paying work etc takes priority. Great reaction!
Does Lucas list also include their solo performances? The diversity comes in here too with
Rm persona
Suga daechwita
Jin epiphany
Jhope ego
V singularity
Jk euphoria
Jimin serendipity ( or interesting twist - lie)
In Hip Hop Lover J Hope shouts out Kanye as an influence.
GidKidDaD. Don’t miss Loba Etoile’s reply on producers at Big Hit.
You should hear their song Hip Hop Phile because they discuss all the artists that influenced them. And yes, they mention Kanye
-I really think you should introduce him to BTS outro: tear live
Yes, if you listen to the song Hip Hop Lover, you will hear them shout out all their influences and Kanye is one.
I’m 65 year old new ARMY this year. They have to be the hardest working entertainers ever. Don’t call them a “pop” group. Everything they do is so complex from lyrics, choreography to the music. They never just “phone” it in. 💜💜
BTS has a team of producers (Pdogg and Slow Rabbit are the two I've heard mentioned most, but Suga is also a producer).💜💜💜
This was so much of what I loved about BTS. They have changed, but they have also grown! Love them !
the credits you are reading are for the music video. Wikipedia is a pretty accurate source for their production and writing credits btw.
when you listen and watch their music, you can see their growth with each new release
They have a song called Hip hop lover. There is a live performance with subtitles. This song talks about their hip hop background. Please react to it with Lucas and also Outro Tear live.
You need to listen to Hip Hop Lover (by the whole group) to know who inspired them. It's a salute to all of their Hip Hop icons. (And it's amazing of course 😏)
love this song
There is no MV of the original version (pre Steve Aoki), but there is the BTS Comeback special where they do it live. It was really good, but this version was better. Then there is a version (audio only) with Steve Aoki and ft Desiigner on several music platforms. BTS were really starting to show up as a new, almost big time, player in the American music scene at this time, and Mic Drop really helped them in that goal. Lots of people who liked rap, but had no idea about kpop, discovered BTS during this time.
Ao the boys all tell us that they are constantly trying to improve and evolve thats why they are so diverse. They dont mind mixing styles or genres to suit what they want to potray in their music and its an absolute joy for people who find them to go thru the discography in order. Also there are so many "B" sides that would have been mega hits if released as singles. To be honest they dont make any bad songs, there might be one or two that dont appeal to a person but they have over 300 songs including all the mixtapes and the other stuff they have released on soundcloud and given to us for free. If you follow the journey you can see the work they have put in and also that their music as grown with them as they sing about what affects them at the time.
I agree. "Their music transcends the time when it was created". Their songs, the ones written and produced by them, will continue to be favorites not only of their fans but music lovers everywhere.
You two are really awesome. I love your reaction Videos and the connection between you two is so amazing. Please do many more reactions together 💕
I love the fact that your producer comes from the metal background, I get the exact same feeling when a more agressive and strong song from bts comes up I just get super pumped up, makes me feel much much more and I tend to be drawn in by those immediately (although I love all the songs).
Their new albums bout to drop and I want so badly for the type of MIC Drop raw elements to be included. Add in how much they've grown as young men and a group. The mix of Old Skool beats and funk with current moods. Nice breakdown guys ✌😎
Lucas is so nice, cute and laid back. Very likeable.
Good times! Thanks! 💜
When it comes to lyrics, especialy the rap, the boys are behind them 100%. And the production moves on only when they feel it's good for all 7.💜
Jhope wrote the first part of the MIC DROP and made it that he sang.
He explained meaning of Bulletproof that is against any oppression and prejudice in this society. He said 방탄소년단 Bulletproof Boy Scout(防彈小年團) means that they stand against any of attack, suppression and racism in the world. So they need Army who are supporting with dancing and singing so that they can fight together against any toxic society.
He wants to shine upon his fans from dark society into Sunlights 🌞
Yes RM is a fan of Kanye. He listened to Kanye’s latest album and posted a pic of the track list.
ADORA was behind a lot of BTS’ songs but she has moved to doing solo work now but we’revall super thankful for what she’s contributed 💜
I loved this remix but I was blown away but their lasts concert Busan 2022 when they opened with this to their live band it was a move heavy rock beat very high impact, and they went straight into Run Bullitproof(BTS). I don't know how they do it the stamina they have talk about fitness levels.
I think you're both gonna love their Japanese releases. "Lights" has amazing production, there's so many layers and so much going on but it all blends beautifully. 😌
Also, Lucas will def like all the rap songs... They always slap hard 😁 Ugh!, Tear, Ddaeng... Can't wait.
Great reaction and comments! I suggest you to compare the original version of Mic Drop and Steve Aoki's remix.
ou you are me, i love to listen this in my car very loud. this rocks..video is wau. one of my favorites
When you were looking at producer, I think the screen you were looking at was for the MV producer, not the song.
Lmao... I love listening to you two discuss the mixing.... I've listened to this song nearly every day and very often several times a day since it was released and I hear absolutely NOTHING you talk about...UNTIL you mention it and then 🤯
Which is way cool!!! Same goes with the Dimash reactions.. I had no awareness of nor any intrest in knowing anything about mixing or producing or how microphones work 🤣🤣🤣 i hear all kinds of stuff now .. we were listening to the radio in the car and I said ooooo did you hear how those drums faded in??? And all my friends looked at me like I had lost my mind... so yeah.
I do enjoy, very much, discovering new things about familiar music! I thank you both for that!
Great content as always
Wow, introduce Lucas to rap now. Cyphers 1-4, Hip Hop Phile, Outro:Tear, Ddaeng, Ugh. And their mixtapes. Mic Drop was inspired by Obama dropping the mic after his speech. This song pulled me into BTS, never left my workout playlist since then.
Welcome back Lucas and I can’t wait to see what you guys have coming up next 😊
all i keep thinking about is that they were promoting go go (and dna) at a similar time and i kinda want him to see that in particular for the contrast (attitude and production wise) :D
WOW! Great commentary! "The second season of a show that goes on for 11 seasons" "You can tell in their attitudes, where they're like: I'm pretty sure this is me" "They look so hungry." WHOAAA so apt!
Thanks so much for the reactions. I love hearing your banter and your different perspectives on the different videos. 💜
Jhope was singing the steak line while eating steak in his hotel room the other day. 🥩
If you're curious about their early Hip Hop influences, you should react to their song Hip Hop Lover. The rap line does the verses and the vocal line does the chorus. It's basically them answering why they love Hip Hop.
There is a behind / making for this video, but it's focused more on the filming than the music production. I don't know if it's something you'd want to react to, but it could be something fun to watch anyway. I always find any glimpse behind the scenes to be fascinating.
I think it's ok to have a bias, a favorite, but recognizing that these are 7 talented dudes who have their strengths in different areas of performing and such is important too. Ranking them above one another isn't something I'd do, but you're allowed to say that in this song and that song you prefer this voice or this verse. My bias is Suga, but the other six weirdos keep stealing my attention for various things, and I love them for that.
Hip Hop Phile is a song that you should hear. They mention by name a lot of their rapper influences.
If you two have time you should check out Hip Hop Lover with the lyrics. Its an older song and the rap line spends each verse paying homage to their influences and american hip hop
please show him them performing cypher pt 3, 4 live
He should definitely hear the rest of the dope bts tracks! Old ones hit hard.
Thank you very much for your reaction. I do love this MIC Drop. This is cool and people can feel big energy and their anger for all the absurd around them. Anyway, I finally got your producer friend's name, Lucas. Soon, I will hear your name, too. Thanks again. Merry Christmas from Korea. ☺
Hi, I am really impressed by their voices so exact and with so many different nuances of these guys, and live they are so great and maybe more than in the videos, that's why I get excited every time I see them and how natural they are, without trying too hard They reach wonderful and high voices, they are really great, their talents of each one and everything that leads BTS to be the best band of the year in music even if it is not recognized by the people who decree the grammys, they miss it if they don't They give it to them this year, well, with everything that BTS is for people not only in music and artistic gifts, but also as humble people that they are when treating them, they have become icons for people who see in them a way of a different life, healthier, and respecting himself and valuing himself spiritually; Maybe people needed something like that after they saw the churches fall and lost faith, especially the young people who in silence began to show their disappointment in their bodies without seeing positive results and in the search for a table of salvation, and in that The way I found these young people who gave them another type of strength, accepting and valuing themselves as they are, loving their bodies, and others, accepting the bad as learning for their lives with courage, pride, and strength: that's why BTS It became the greatest thing in the lives of young people and they have taught it to their parents and grandparents, and they have also changed their lives to feel happier and more grateful: since nothing they impose, only with their example of their lives and their talents have made something that even they do not understand in extent or magnitude, since their only purpose was to get the youth out of suicide, drugs and discouragement of life: BTS are boys who still have a lot to know and I saw vir in life, they are not perfect since they are human like all of us, only that they try to give the best of them sincerely and with respect to their public whom they love and who loves them: they give everything for that love that ARMI da, even if they have to give up many things in their lives, but consider that that is the sacrifice for being BTS
GO : ON Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh we will give it to him it’s close. Almost the same meaning. 🤪
Also 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 the honesty always stay true and honest both you and Lucas.
Really fun and honest reaction. 💜
RM likes Kanye in there song hip-hop lover the rappers of the group state their musical influences and I hope lie and Dionysis are on the Lucas playlist
Enjoy your interaction and discussion guys..😊 👍👍
Well for rap, You won’t hear too much on their group albums and songs coz its for everyone and each one only have a few verse and aims to cater for every listener there is. If you want to hear them rap, check out the rapline’s songs Outro:Tear, Cyphers 1-4, Ddaeng(vocal line did this live too) and UGH. It will also be worth your time to check out their solo songs.
You should do Tear 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think the Beatles and Queen comparisons are valid, and they’ve got time…
h~~i i love your reaction~ thanks!
I loooove this Song!
Loved your reaction, and learning more about Mic Drop production wise! Always nice to have Lucas around 😊😊🤣
I recommend MIC Drop live!
the remix production is just Steve's (his team? idk) i believe bc the original song's instrumental is v different
Omg just subscribed. You guys are so knowledgeable. I love the videos you react together ams sincerely hope you'll shoot some more. Heck I'd pay to hear you break down the music because it really makes me appreciate it more as I'm clueless. Thank you
Hey Guys, How's it going? I'm enjoying watching you school Lucas on BTS and their fandom! It's been fun. Lucas, I'm enjoying your opinions etc...also. You guys are doing great and your vibe is very welcoming. Thanks for doing this for all of us!
You can listen to the original Mic Drop and compare, you know 😏
Mic Drop 💜
You’re going to be unpacking a lot of stuff with UGH!
Well said Lucas. 👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌
Yes Lucas is Here !!💜
"Covid has changed everything". As have various social medias have. Talent previously meant who knew who, or being "discovered". Now people are creating their own and showing it to the world. And the world is choosing not just the record labels.
Yes, they are a huge fan of Kanye, Eminem, Lamar etc. RM's idol is Nas. Their main producer Pdogg is a hiphop musician. Listen to BTS' song 'Hip hop Lover' and you will see in the lyrics the names of rappers that they look up to.
No, this was a song directed at the haters who said they’d never make it and went out of their way to keep them down!
You should react to *Cypher Medley live concert*
👀 Also solo's projects like Airplane by J-hope, Joke by RM, People by Agust D, Serendipity by Jimin live concert, Singularity by V, Epiphany by Jin, Begin by Jk and a clasic Pied Piper by BTS 💜
Jhope wants to break down the walls of suppression, oppression, prejudice, discrimination, and racism in the 🌎 world.
That's why his name is Jhope who wants to shine upon his fans from the darkness into his Hope World with his Sunlights ✨ 💜 😉
Mic drop is so good and it's not even in my top 5 lol
Euphoria and Magic Shop - there are videos of DJ Swivel showing how he produced and mixed the tracks for these songs. Should be interesting for you and Lucas to watch
Honestly, waking up from a nightmare is helped by hearing your intro tho cuz like aint nobody say that Crow to me unless I say it myself (only kinda sad about that, I havent asked to be told either so)
It took me a long time to move on from this song and their live performance 🤣🤣🤣 watching your reaction now, made me go back to Mic Drop 🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜 Thank you!
Oh RM posted in weverse that he listen to Kanye's latest album when it was released.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
