Asa 2nd rapper came up so clean. And slayed fast rap. She also one of the writers and composers. Real artist 🔥 baemon continuing YG legacy in 4th/5th gen
Her name is ASA from japan.. she once covered Look Alive by Joyner & Lucas in her introduction performance video.. she covered godzilla by eminem in her introduction video.. and now she join to credited debut song of her group as a songwriter & composer... she has a good voice and dancing skill... real ACE of the group.. ASA 🔥🔥
“BATTER UP” by BABYMONSTER was written by Jared Lee (Producer), ASA (BABYMONSTER), CHOI HYUN SUK, LEE CHANHYUK (이찬혁), WHERE THE NOISE, Yang Hyun Suk (양현석), BIGTONE (빅톤) (KOR), Chaz Mishan & Dee.P (KOR).
They have multiple producers credited but some noticeable names: YG himself (yup, the big man decided to work on this project himself) Dee.P (a member of Future Bounce, which is a producer duo from YG that worked with many YG artists). Bigtone (a YG producer who is also their rap coach) Choi Hyunsuk (leader of the youngest male group from YG, Treasure, and rapper) Lee Chanhyuk (singer and member of the duo from YG called AKMU) Asa (the second rapper in the video, she has credits on both lyrics and production)
for this group, the producer is not TEDDY.. for this group YG himself and other YG IN-HOUSE Producers are working with this group.. ChoiHyunSuk from Treasure took part in the Lyrics of this song, ASA also took part in writing and composing.. and other YG artists like Chanhyuk from AKMU also took part in lyrics.
i'm waiting for this dude to react..😁😁😁...hes so genuine and direct to the point if he likes it or not...good job man...looking forward for more of your reviews...
I think that the bus is a major debut thing now cuz stray kids had district 9( which in lalalala the bus number is district 325 which is the debut date for stray kids) and twice had the debut song" ohh ahh" that had a bus as well as it being in a debut and Bang Chan "chris" from stray kids was a zombie in that debut both under jyp. They gave me a XG vibe tbh but that flow was sick tho they got a big future ahead of them
And also piggy backing from the twice debute I'm pretty sure the producer was Rado which now makes the music for STAYC, correct me if I'm wrong anybody
Easter eggs: Chiquita drawing the letter A for Ahyeon at the beginning. Rora nails pops out when she sings "Monster" Asa repping Blackpink saying she's "Boss baby" wearing black and pink as well Ruka saying Square Up referencing a Blackpink album Pharita with Black and Pink highlights, repping Blackpink
To the costumes - according to Koreans, women, even young women, can show as much leg as they want. What young women can't show is cleavage, not a bit. In Korea, these outfits are perfectly fine, but western folk might feel a little awkward. ;)
I have been nervously awaiting your reaction Anthony, because I thought you might have come into this, being effected by the biggest ever hate train for a new kpop group...bigger then yg's last 2 girl groups had to face ( and that's saying something). I have been following you since you first discovered Blackpink and we didn't have to put up with twitch reactions....your channel has come a long way since then. These girls obviously breaking all the records...most viewed ever kpop debut by any group. This was a brilliant homage to their seniors at yg, which, if you have been following them, know that is exactly what they wanted for their debut banger....literally 'waking up in their DREAM'. I can see Treasure, 2ne1, Blackpink, Akmu, Bigbang, Psy and even Somi in this and they all played a role in producing this success. It was great to see the girls getting input into the mv and especially Asa composing and writing. I was super happy that you picked up on the outro being early gen...and it was, to bring back that 1st gen yg, etc....all up your best reaction since Ren and Blackpink imo, Thx. I know if I was a teenager, this would be the sort of mv I would want to be involved in. Can't wait to see they go with their album.
Blackpink also had a school bus in their debut ( Boombayah ). The whole video is referencing YG's artists, most notably Blackpink. You can spot it in the lyrics,scenes and YG style. " Batter Up " is meant to be their taking of the (baton)in the lyrics from BP . It's their turn at the plate. The dance break at the end combined their message to world and YG's signature ending.
We are witnessing the beginning of a group who will be the future of kpop They have the talent, the voices, the moves, the rap, even the company haha I know it's too soon and maybe won't happen but once this ladies establish their name in the industry I'd like to see a colab with Blackpink 😃
Anthony, welcome back. In order of vocal appearance...Rami (formerly Haram), 16 from Korea; Rora, 15 from Korea; Pharita, 18 from Thailand; Chiquita, 14 from Thailand; 1st rapper is Ruka, 21 from Japan; 2nd rapper is Asa (who also wrote the rap), 17 from Japan.
Babymonster's two rappers are both Japanese so they are basically rapping Korean as a foriegn language. But as a Korean, I think their diction ranks among the top tier of all Korean female idol rappers and no wonder it's because they are YG, which started as a hiphop lable. I think if they develop a variety of flows and maybe some new flows, they will stand out even more as they have very solid foundation in rapping.
It's very similar to Money as everyone stated and then the hand crown on the second "remember me" part reminds me of Itzys crown moves in almost all of their videos. But the song sounds good, so hopefully, they keep their success for a long time 🤞🏼
Nah Bruh, It's the same YG Formula, the visual is good & given, but I can say it's not Teddy's beat. They sounded like old-school K-pop which is fine, Asa sang Godzilla as far as I recall; she has a potential lyricist. She's a boss baby and Jennie is the boss bitch 😄🔥
Congratulations to Baby Monster. The Fastest 100 million for a kpop debut record is smashed by Baby Monster by a country mile. Batter Up has entered the record books as legendary.
This is a BOP for sure and the girls look amazing, great M/V. So happy for the girls. Vocals are amazing, rap line is on fire, visuals are insane, dancing is on point. It is a YG song for sure, but its their first song, I expect next songs to be more unique. That said, the rap line does not sound like BP, its already unique. Asa (who is a writer) and Ruka were insane. Always love your reactions Anthony, they are so good. Thanks for your reaction and support. These girls are next level.
Fifth Harmony started at ages 15 - 19 & still made hits!! A real concern would be if they're been mistreated by management but as said YG are a big co., have enormous mentors & all the right cards. Anyway this is the type of music and dance is for young people. Nothing more pathetic than older groups trying to act & dress like teenagers lol 😮
Remember when BlackPink debuted, some yg fans yelled that they sang 2NE1's songs! But as you saw, BP proved it wrong. and Babymonster also will prove themselves to be unique, too.
Yes BM nailed it! Kudos to their debut song coz I saw part of other YG idol groups. The Bus reminded me of Bigbang's Sunset Glow in 2007, i think. YG really sticks to their style. They see to it that you can easily sing along to most of their songs. Unlike other Kpop groups who already adopted the western sound, YG maintained their half western and half kpop flavor. Plus they don't forget to incorporate their party anthem which you always see in most of Bigbang's, Ikon's Treasure's songs.
Ruka is oldest 20. Youngest Chiquita 15. They are all aces. YG: 7 aces K-pop: I fold. Singers rap. Rappers sing. They are still holding back. First full album coming Drip. I think yg vocal coach made that haunting sound. They sound exactly the same live. They never miss a beat. The reverb and backing is there live also. I've noticed they all have a special brightness in their voice though. Each in their own way. The younger they start the better they will likely be. That's why there are so many prodigies appearing. Tiger Woods taught parents the magic trick. I've
Teddy and TBL weren't involved as they are handling other artists. But the other producers are still top yes, but they're more classic YG in terms of sound. Teddy represents the new YG, theblacklabel is YG's main sub-label for a reason hah. My only gripe with this debut is that it sounds more like a YG tribute rather than something unique to Babymonster. I'm sure the future will be more unique but I expected a bit more aggressiveness and freshness. They're still mega talented so, on it's own, the song is good but lacks replay value. Rap part was fire tho. Ending was legit 2NE1 old sound tribute, only more ... for children? I legit wonder if YG was a bit scared with this one given they're so young. This release feels a bit restrained for YG standards.
Good comment...it felt like a tribute because it was ( see my comment above/below). And yeah, it was a restrained concept because of the age thing...but yeah, chiquita is 15 in 2 months or so, so they are no different then bts, new jeans gidle 2ne1 etc. But SK does have those new laws in place about working hours and family access etc.
@@David-wm5lc I understand. But when you make a YG tribute in a debut, you don't really make it about the girls. And while they're young, the aggressive sound of the teasers was more keen to what I imagined BM will sound like. And they didn't use that at all. Hopefully next releases we'll get to see BM rather than 2ne1.
@julianleft4662 not sure about that...all these girls chose yg to debut with, because they were fans...they expressed the urge to soak up yg dna. What could be better for yg lineage, their career and their dream. They will develop differently and will never be another 2ne1. Also...most fans and new fans are happy.
This song , u can compare to Boombayah (first blackpink song). They both have pop party dance break at the end. And I think the next songs will be more intense in the future when Baemon grow up. Same as Blackpink.
The first rapper is Ruka and the second is Asa she participated in writing the lyrics of this song and definitely she wrote the rap part
Love them both Ahyeon's rap also. Ruka got best bars. Know that DNA YG, Monster without me just baby....
The second rapper is Asa she is ACE of Babymonster ,and she writer and composer the song too
Asa 2nd rapper came up so clean. And slayed fast rap. She also one of the writers and composers. Real artist 🔥 baemon continuing YG legacy in 4th/5th gen
Her name is ASA from japan.. she once covered Look Alive by Joyner & Lucas in her introduction performance video.. she covered godzilla by eminem in her introduction video.. and now she join to credited debut song of her group as a songwriter & composer... she has a good voice and dancing skill... real ACE of the group.. ASA 🔥🔥
Asa slayed that fast rap. 🔥🔥🔥
The one rapper that you liked was ASA. She was also credited as one of the writers and composers of this song actually 😊
Batter up is a real blast. Love it.

Been waiting for your reaction! 🥹 someone who would appreciate ASA’s rap.
I really like Rora's voice
Asa is going to be one of the best idol in the future
Asa is a ace of the group ✨️
I never noticed before, but you have a point with the No More Dream MV 🤣
Asa the Ace and a Monster! ❤
IT'S ASA. THE SECOND RAPPER
Thats my baby asa❤❤
Yay finally. I've been waiting for your reaction.
No Teddy. One of rapper monster girls Asa has named credits for composing and lyricist. YG himself and others have named credits.
Finally, thanks for the reaction. I'm always waiting for your reaction to babymonster .
And you know what, ASA the producer,the arranger,and the writer for this amazing song
Asa killed it haha🤍
i'm waiting for this dude to react..😁😁😁...hes so genuine and direct to the point if he likes it or not...good job man...looking forward for more of your reviews...
yea, ASA rap flow was so good!
Chiquita ❤my bias 🫶🏻

Easter eggs:
Chiquita drawing the letter A for Ahyeon at the beginning.
Rora nails pops out when she sings "Monster"
Asa repping Blackpink saying she's "Boss baby" wearing black and pink as well
Ruka saying Square Up referencing a Blackpink album
Pharita with Black and Pink highlights, repping Blackpink
+ Asa use lipstick like boombayah jisoo did
+ Asa said Brrah like boombayah Lisa's iconic brr
Chiquita is not drawing a for ahyeon, stop your delusional,
Chiquita only showing the m there name baby monster...
Actually, my bias was chiquita but when I heard this song... I instantly got wrecked and now my bias is AceSA❤❤❤
Baemonn!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To the costumes - according to Koreans, women, even young women, can show as much leg as they want. What young women can't show is cleavage, not a bit. In Korea, these outfits are perfectly fine, but western folk might feel a little awkward. ;)
Enjoyed your reaction to Babymonster
Strong reaction as always, sir!
Interesting intelligent review as always, good job and this group has huge potential I think.

i think the rap part was written by choi hyunsuk of tressure and asa babymonster
Actually no Teddy this time and..ASA has a writing credit and must have written her rap verse.
i love and always respect your resction! thank you ❤

Sec rapper is Enami Asa
It is a law in Korea that there has to be a bus or train in EVERY debut video.
What kind of weird law is that wtf
@@CHANELLE_MY_LOVE lmao that is a joke since many groups do that for some reason: TWICE, BTS, Aespa, Babymonster etc all had that
Hahaha It was a joke because so many Kpop groups either have a bus or a train in their debut videos it is like there is a law@@CHANELLE_MY_LOVE
@@nutaellaballii3709 Not in a debut, but Blackpink had one in Playing With Fire.
they are really monster🔥but i still hope ahyeon will be back..
ASA IS MY BIAS ❤❤
We are witnessing the beginning of a group who will be the future of kpop
They have the talent, the voices, the moves, the rap, even the company haha

YG is one of the producer. Teddy has no involvement in this production. YG himself is the one who made sure YG has that identity/brand sound
