True. I remember when daechitwa came out and some random kpop group fans were screaming swears at yoongi. Like, for what? Nobody knows your faves, sit down.
This. They are the epitome of "If the shoe fits". They don't HAVE to call anyone out. The people that have too big of a head, and think they're WORTH being called out, out themselves.
@@ditafeliska yes! namjoon was an underground rapper for years before bts was formed, he was kinda popular too you can still find old forum posts about him💜
Namjoons lyrics are like peeling an onion, there are so many layers to just one line, don't piss the boy off, he'll come at you. As an Idol he has to put on a specific persona all innocent and clean and when people put him down for it, he can't do anything about it but smile, but when solo, he vents all that pent up bullsh*t and here is a prime example. RM is one of the best rappers in the world today, he has substance in lyrics.
@@AltSpace all BTS mixtapes are available on SoundCloud for free. Just look up BTS and they'll come up. Great job of understanding RM's song....not many reactors do that.
he's not dissing a$ap he's actually a fan. and he's not dissing the other countries, that was just him flexing about his global status by mentioning countries he performed in thereby dissing rappers who won't make it internationally.
Also there is mentio in other songs about rappers in Korea that rap in English not because they speak it but because it 'sounds good' or cool or whatev but doesn't actually make any real sense RM also references it here with the bibity-bobity part i think...
Cant believe I haven't seen this before... and you're so right... even when I give the heads up, people they're still trying so hard to analyze and totally miss the joke... 👀🤷♀️
idk if you noticed but there was actually no chorus in this song or anything close to a normal structure of a song. If I remember correctly, he used 9 different flows in this and was so seamless with the transitions, you barely notice most of them
It's fun to see a reactor actually being smart enough to decipher this message from the first listen. Since some of his messages aren't really on the nose, like joke, which as you rightfully realized is kind of meta in itself, many don't actually realize his genius. Taking the techniques from other rappers, to show that he can do all that, but chooses not to. Flexing on them, while calling their skills useless. It's a genius move. Naming the song joke is the cherry on top for me. "Yeah, I just used 9 different flows back to back, showing of my flawless rhyme scheme, but it was just a joke to me, actually I don't needa do all that shit, to make actual good music."
i didn't know this :0...i mean i was a fan already of this song...but know that i know this...imma print the lyrics in golden paper and hang it in my room :0...God i love this man
This song was RM responding to those rappers like you said, because they said he no longer had Flow now that he became an Idol instead of an underground rapper. He said even when he's saying lyrics that don't make sense, he's still got Flow and better than them.
@@AltSpace super smart. reads all the time. fine art collector. taught himself english from Tv show Friends. sublime lyrics. incredible word play soaked in Korean cultural/historical references. check out Dkdktv (Korean guy explains his songs like Ugh and Ddaeng and Respect -all rap line BTS songs you should listen to)
This was a great reaction, you got the point of the title! It's like RM is pointedly telling others "this is just a joke in the end" like he goes this hard but he finds the whole thing to be a joke and he's not being serious about it. So when he does actually get serious...?
@@AltSpace Exaaactly hahaha. I will say though, RM is actually more of a poet when it comes to his music, I don't think you've seen that side of him yet (most obvious in his 2nd mixtape, Mono). This is the hardcore angry rapper side of him that he's kind of grown from now, and thi I love both sides, his recent music has seen him find a very different style that he's found to suit him. I hope you enjoy them as you listen to more of BTS' music 😊
Your interpretation is very insightful, I am always impressed by your understanding of BTS's lyrics and general music intentions especially because you just started to know them and you have less context information than other youtube reactors
Haters kept saying he can’t rap fast so he came out with this “joke” showing how others that rap fast have no structure or meaning to their song like he did and that you need to think about structure and meaning and bars in a good pace and he’s literally mocking them .
Wow!!!!! Thankyou for actually analyzing his lyrics. Unlike most people who doesnt care to figure out the lyrics and the meaning of Joke. Thankyou💜 it really shows that you love rap.
What he's saying in part is that all of the rappers that ragged on him for joining BTS and saying that he gave up his* rap card*; He's saying they're talking crap. He basically can rap gibberish and still be better than them. *middle fingers up!*
9 flows, no chorus, straight bars! 🔥 Joke is an intelligent sattire for people who think rapping fast without any meaningful lyrics and flow is cool or good. The bibbiby babbiby verse you heard him say is the joke of him dissing the mumble jumble rappers. Joke is not just "fast rap" with no meaning. RM is the KING of wordplays. He focuses a lot on lyricism, double/triple entendre and flow. He gets his inspiration from 90's hip hop if you wanna check out his first mixtape. Masterpiece! BTW he has an IQ of 148 and you'll see why his lyrics always have double meanings. HE'S THAT IMPRESSIVE 🔥🔥🔥
if you don’t know, BTS has a rap line group in BTS. Rap Line was formed with the members: RM, Jhope, Suga. They all made songs together and some songs rap solo’s. They all have very good, fire flo !! Thank you for not talk over the video, because a lot of just talked over the rap, and it makes me mad. RAP LINE SONGS: 1: UGH (LYRICS) 2: BTS CYPHERS (1-4) RM: rm started rapping in local amateur hip-hop circles with his self-composed recordings.

RM is the first member to join BTS and he is a awesome, careful, humble leader of BTS. In 2015, he released his first solo mixtape, ‘RM’. In October 2018, his second mixtape ‘Mono’. was the highest-charting album by a Korean soloist on the Billboard 200 chart, having peaked at number 26. He has a recorded with artists such as Wale, Younha, Warren G, Gaeko, Krizz Kaliko, MFBTY, Fall Out, Boy, Primary and Lil NAS X.

Born of Daeugu, South Korea, he belonged to a very poor family. Though he was poor he used to go to school but instead of paying attention to the class he would write song lyrics on scraps and pieces of paper. Since a child he dreamed of becoming a singer. He did mention that when he was in sixth grade he was i inspired to make music after listening to “Epik High”. His lyrics are mostly about dissing haters and depression but he does make fire, good, fast raps with Jhope & RM. SUGA RAP SONGS: 1: Daechwita (MV & LYRICS) 2: First Love (LYRICS) 3: Honsool (LYRICS) 4: Agust D (MV & LYRICS)
I LOVE that you got it! So many people miss the meaning but you hit it! Rm is a lyrical master, the wordplay is amazing and his command and control over two languages and complex beats. Rm is a real genius. His IQ is 148. RM really takes lyrics seriously. So glad you enjoyed this. New sub here!
Actually A$AP is one of his role models, and on that line he added "Six shots got me feeling like 2pac" A lyrics from A$AP song And the line after that is not abt A$AP, it's just a playwords he made to diss rappers who always use lines like "I got my mf beat, my mf flow, my mf ryhme" and all that
What i love about BTS is that they don't even drop names ..or sumthing like that in their diss..they just drop a bomb and watch everyone making it about them
Thank you for your reaction! I love it and hope to see more of RM‘s reaction from you. He‘s a wordplay genius and an amazing rapper! I would recommend Do you.
First time I've ever seen someone actually understand the whole meaning behind the song. I'm subscribing ❤️ this is the type of intelligent content I want rather than all those reactors who just jump around and overreact
There is actually a really good eng lyrics version with the original Joke MV, it's just that the one on BTS's channel doesn't have eng sub. Link in reply below.
OMGAHHH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE YOU REACT TO THIS!!! FINALLY LOL !! Joke is one of my favourite RM solo songs!!! He seriously aint playin'!!! BUT I GOTTA SAY, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR MEAN RAP CHECK OUT THE CYPHERS!!!!! SUGA....THATS ALL IM GOING TO SAY. PERIOD. okay now that you know what RM is all about....YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT THE BTS RAPLINE (RM, J-HOPE & SUGA) CYPHERS..THERE ARE 4 PARTS!!! PLEASE!!! YOU THINK THIS IS CRAZY...YOU WONT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THOSE CYPHERS!!!! PS. there is a music video to "joke". Also, check out Suga's solo song "August D" and finally another RM solo called "DO YOU". KEEP YOUR CAPTIONS ON! Enjoy and can't wait to see these reactions.
Yesssss was waiting on you reactinng to this lol you got it spot on pretty much. RM's answer to all the criticism/hate he received from his peers... apparently they didn't see him as a real rapper lol 😂 The guys a friggin genius.. only fully appreciated when you you watch the explanation videos 💜
Thanks for the reaction. As a "Hip-Hop Head" you should probably know that the beat is from a Run the Jewels song. I've watched so many reactions to this song, but no one seems to know that. It's a shame because Run the Jewels is great, and RM kills it over this beat.
Appreciate it, would love to see you do more of RM's stuff! I personally really like "God Rap" from his first mixtape (he used a cole sample) and "Forever Rain" from mono, which has a slower tempo and shows a more vulnerable side.
He's mentioning some of the countries he's been to not as a diss to artists from those countries. More to his haters that have never traveled like he does.
I always love your reactions because you take time to give the lyrics and content genuine thought and consideration and try to understand them instead of glossing over it and hearing your analysis is interesting. Really appreciate your reactions! If you like this kind of track you would likey enjoy the cyphers done by all three rappers that were included on BTS albums. J-hope has a solo mixtape as well and his style is different from RM's and SUGA's but he's very good. I would recommend Airplane and Baseline. And if you want to see the versatility they have as rappers, check out songs like People off of AGUST D's latest mixtape (D-2) and RM's recent mixtape called mono.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for tuning in. The cyphers are definitely something on my list, really keen to watch those actually. Is there anything else you would like to see?
@@AltSpace as far as more rap line focused, NeverMind, HipHopPhile, Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, intro: soooo luv affair. For vocalists, since you haven't watched much of their stuff yet would be house of cards, the truth untold, and dimple. It would also be really cool to see you react to videos that tell you more about who they are as people like "Who is BTS?: The Seven Members of Bangtan" and the Nobodies to Legends 2018/2019.
I really enjoy your reactions. You react, but you also analyze, and I appreciate that. If you’d like more info on RM, there’s a new channel called Bangtan Boot Camp that did a video a couple weeks ago and it’s the best I’ve ever seen. They go into examples of how his wordplay is so impressive. I believe they’re planning to do intros for the other members too.
I think the lyrics about Sweden Germany Brazil and Japan was about how his fame reaches many countries, while the rappers he bashes have got a small reach and their fan base is only in Korea Like the words : The few hip-hop fangirls at Hongdae variety shows are your regulars
this song of rm talking about people that doubt about his talent and him he doesnt speak about countries. a lot of people they run their mouth about him when he started his career and through this song shows his talent and where he is now without forgetting where he was
This is why ARMY appreciate it when people take the time to look at the English translation of the lyrics and understand what they're singing/rapping about. I mean yeah, they have their hype songs, of course, but a lot of their music has some sort of message or thought they want to convey, too. Thank you for this video!
1st time seeing you and love you reaction. You got the meaning of this song. Really enjoyed it and yes I hit that subscribed button! Gonna binge on the rest of your BTS reactions.Sending love from Aus 🇦🇺💜 😊
I’m glad to see someone finally take the time and acknowledge what he means behind what he says! Like he said in the part about “meaningless wordplay”, he’s just showing how much he can say gibberish and STILL be better than the ones that say “fast rap=talent” which is a reason it’s called Joke!
hongdae is a university. the "hongdae variety" is most likely a reference to the street near the university where amateurs go to do song cover or dance covers. they're all crowded on that one street and perform at the same time. basically a street for busking
If any BTS rapper mentions another rapper the're not dissing them but acknowledging them. Anyways loved the reaction!! Now you're only missing a J-HOPE song. Also I think you would like BTS's Hip-Hoppfile/ HIP-HOP LOVER.
I like your reaction and for sure Namjoon (RM) is the best rapper I'v ever seen try to listen to his other rap songs like (do you) and (I believe) much love.
I love your reactions (and not just the BTS ones!) I enjoy reactors that actually bring something to the table whether it is the cinematography, dancing, singing, etc. And now I have found one that goes through lyrics. Honestly, I enjoy BTS because of their honest and poetic lyrics. To piggy back on other comments, I hope you have a chance to react to or at least listen to Ddaeng and watch the DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng. The number of meanings the word Ddaeng can take on in a 3 minute song is mind blowing.
So this vid came up in my recomends i loved it so much looked at the other stuff u reacted to and saw nf....my dude ur journey with him needs to start from mansion but gonna check out what u have so far u def got a new sub
I'm over here clapping and grinning ear to ear. I miss this era of RM's solo work. I love his more intellectual, philosophical lyrics, don't get me wrong, but oh how he used to EVICERATE the competition.
Hi i just saw your vid in recommendation. I love your reaction because you get what namjoon really meant. Btw, You should check hiphop lovers by bts that song indicates how they got into hiphop.
I'm like a year late but I don't see any comments about this but RM wasn't dissing the 4 nations saying their rappers have dirty tongues.... those are the countries he just toured through so he's flexing that he has global reach/audience to these dope countries. RM doesn't disrespect whole countries :) especially those specific ones listed
Just found your channel off of the nf video thought you would be bigger I like how you actually react and talk about the stuff going on. I recommend something from token my fav album by him is somewhere in-between so any song in their would be good or code red.
Good! Not saying that I don't like mumble rappers but it feels like they're just milking hip hop beats, drugs and clout for money. That's why I respected this song so much 🔥
I love that you mentioned Nas too because RM considers him to be one of his main influences (and got shy when they met at an award show lol). If you listen to Hip Hop File (you dont have to review it just listen!) you can see just how much they appreciate the culture.
RM has a really high IQ, super smart. Then there were so many underground and popular rappers that gave him and Suga shit for joining BTS, saying they sold out and that real rappers wouldn't do that. There were ever rappers giving them grief who openly admitted they had never listened to BTS or any of the BTS rap or their dolo rap
Brilliant reaction!! I'm really impressed that you got the meaning behind the song and the lyrics on a first watch, not many reactors get it. You should also react to the Cypher series, where BTS destroy their haters.
loved your videos💯 subscribed/ side note. RM was a underground rapper so was Suga ,one who was also underground with RM was Changmo who i recommend to check out on Dingo killing verse there you can get a glimpse of other k-hiphop artist
No shots at A$AP. He is doing what good rappers do. He is using ASAP's lyrics and acknowledging the author. "You must feel envious of my pay Sweden, Germany, Brazil to Japan" is not a diss at foreign rappers but at Korean underground rappers. Notice the word to. He left the underground to become an Idol rapper and this was a list of some of the countries he as leader of very young Idol group BTS visited while the antis were stuck doing underground clubs.
RM didn’t diss any foreign rappers, but the fake rappers who actually can’t rap(be it white,black,asian). RM is main songwriter of BTS, RM wrote and produced his mixtape
I think I'm quite late on this channel but about the references you didn't understand are actually Korean reference like the word "unnie" is actually what Korean girls or women call someone older girl or women in age like older sister or something like that. Note this term is only used between women so basically he said to the rappers that women call you sisters and also about the hongdae variety shows are basically local Korean rap show where rapper go to have fame he dissing them basically
You'll see a trend with BTS diss tracks. They don't name names, they just spark the flintstones and watch everyone else burn themselves down.
Yes pls react next to "Ddaeng"
The most specific reference was telling someone to go back to Hawaii (start with a b and ends with a free)
True. I remember when daechitwa came out and some random kpop group fans were screaming swears at yoongi. Like, for what? Nobody knows your faves, sit down.
This. They are the epitome of "If the shoe fits". They don't HAVE to call anyone out. The people that have too big of a head, and think they're WORTH being called out, out themselves.
Real fact
Suga said: Senior rappers in underground scene were afraid rap against 15 year old RM the underground rapper
Wdym?
@@em5522 i've read in somewhere that rm is well-known in his underground that's right? Like he already Fame like that idk
@@ditafeliska yes! namjoon was an underground rapper for years before bts was formed, he was kinda popular too you can still find old forum posts about him💜
can you give me a link where is suga said this?
That was Zico not suga right?
Namjoons lyrics are like peeling an onion, there are so many layers to just one line, don't piss the boy off, he'll come at you. As an Idol he has to put on a specific persona all innocent and clean and when people put him down for it, he can't do anything about it but smile, but when solo, he vents all that pent up bullsh*t and here is a prime example. RM is one of the best rappers in the world today, he has substance in lyrics.
He's dope, does he have a mixtape?
@@AltSpace he has two. This is on 'RM' released in 2015 and he also has 'mono' released in 2018. Thank you for your brilliant reactions 🥰
@@starshain mono is a masterpiece btw
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
@@AltSpace all BTS mixtapes are available on SoundCloud for free. Just look up BTS and they'll come up. Great job of understanding RM's song....not many reactors do that.

Thanks for clearing that up, I knew I may have misinterpreted that 🙏🏿
@@AltSpace no worries. hope i didn't come off too strong 💜
Not at all, perfectly explained!
Also there is mentio in other songs about rappers in Korea that rap in English not because they speak it but because it 'sounds good' or cool or whatev but doesn't actually make any real sense
RM also references it here with the bibity-bobity part i think...
That is how I understood it too.
I think you're one of the very few reactors who actually got the meaning of the diss and the "Joke" XD...loved the reaction!
AGREED
Oh my god. Yassss
that’s right
Cant believe I haven't seen this before... and you're so right... even when I give the heads up, people they're still trying so hard to analyze and totally miss the joke... 👀🤷♀️
FACTS !!
Best part of the song is at the end when he says "Hit Me". No one ever did reply.
Because they know not to play with him 😅
@@AltSpace Yes exactly. A lot of ppl were coming after him and Suga when BTS first started. This was RM's response. Suga's response was "Agust D"
idk if you noticed but there was actually no chorus in this song or anything close to a normal structure of a song. If I remember correctly, he used 9 different flows in this and was so seamless with the transitions, you barely notice most of them
Thanks for pointing this out, I did not know this! He is just amazing..
You are legitimately the only reactor I've ever seen who actually understood the point of this rap, lol.
Check out RM's song Do You!
Thank you! Your support is massively appreciated ❤️
It's fun to see a reactor actually being smart enough to decipher this message from the first listen.

This song was RM responding to those rappers like you said, because they said he no longer had Flow now that he became an Idol instead of an underground rapper. He said even when he's saying lyrics that don't make sense, he's still got Flow and better than them.
Yeah, honestly it just sounded like he was just playing around 😂
He’s got a 148 IQ, so he’s super smart. Some of the words are just for the sake of rhyming, and some are lumped together to make fun of people.
That's incredible, I had no doubt that he's super smart!
@@AltSpace super smart. reads all the time. fine art collector. taught himself english from Tv show Friends. sublime lyrics. incredible word play soaked in Korean cultural/historical references. check out Dkdktv (Korean guy explains his songs like Ugh and Ddaeng and Respect -all rap line BTS songs you should listen to)
The "bibbidi bobbidi" bit is basically him mocking all the mumble rappers out there with their grade one lyrics. It's pure genius honestly.
*Fr*
"grade one lyrics" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With Grade zero lyrics.
First time I've ever heard anyone understand the complexity that is RM. Intelligent reaction, thank you.

So glad you enjoyed this. New sub here!
Actually A$AP is one of his role models, and on that line he added "Six shots got me feeling like 2pac"
A lyrics from A$AP song
And the line after that is not abt A$AP, it's just a playwords he made to diss rappers who always use lines like
"I got my mf beat, my mf flow, my mf ryhme" and all that
What i love about BTS is that they don't even drop names ..or sumthing like that in their diss..they just drop a bomb and watch everyone making it about them
Thank you for your reaction! I love it and hope to see more of RM‘s reaction from you. He‘s a wordplay genius and an amazing rapper! I would recommend Do you.

RM is 2nd fastest rapper in kpop 11.8 syllables per second.
Warren G has appreciated RM many times
I just can't get over how he can seamlessly switch between Korean and English.
There is actually a really good eng lyrics version with the original Joke MV, it's just that the one on BTS's channel doesn't have eng sub. Link in reply below.
RM- Joke MV with eng sub: ua-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/v-deo.html this one also has some explainations.
OMGAHHH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE YOU REACT TO THIS!!! FINALLY LOL !! Joke is one of my favourite RM solo songs!!! He seriously aint playin'!!! BUT I GOTTA SAY, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR MEAN RAP CHECK OUT THE CYPHERS!!!!! SUGA....THATS ALL IM GOING TO SAY. PERIOD. okay now that you know what RM is all about....YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT THE BTS RAPLINE (RM, J-HOPE & SUGA) CYPHERS..THERE ARE 4 PARTS!!! PLEASE!!! YOU THINK THIS IS CRAZY...YOU WONT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THOSE CYPHERS!!!! PS. there is a music video to "joke". Also, check out Suga's solo song "August D" and finally another RM solo called "DO YOU". KEEP YOUR CAPTIONS ON! Enjoy and can't wait to see these reactions.
You are the first reactor that got the meaning of the song from the outset. Good for you! I appreciated your review. Thank you. 💜
Him at the start:😄😖😮😲😳😨
Yesssss was waiting on you reactinng to this lol you got it spot on pretty much. RM's answer to all the criticism/hate he received from his peers... apparently they didn't see him as a real rapper lol 😂 The guys a friggin genius.. only fully appreciated when you you watch the explanation videos 💜
Thanks for the reaction. As a "Hip-Hop Head" you should probably know that the beat is from a Run the Jewels song. I've watched so many reactions to this song, but no one seems to know that. It's a shame because Run the Jewels is great, and RM kills it over this beat.
Appreciate it, would love to see you do more of RM's stuff!
I personally really like "God Rap" from his first mixtape (he used a cole sample) and "Forever Rain" from mono, which has a slower tempo and shows a more vulnerable side.
He's mentioning some of the countries he's been to not as a diss to artists from those countries. More to his haters that have never traveled like he does.
amazing reaction 💜🇬🇧💜
He went this hard with a deviated septum and breathing problems (all fixed now)
He’s legit 🔥
Dude, he is unreal, absolutely murdered this beat, happy he's managed to fix his septum!
I always love your reactions because you take time to give the lyrics and content genuine thought and consideration and try to understand them instead of glossing over it and hearing your analysis is interesting. Really appreciate your reactions!
If you like this kind of track you would likey enjoy the cyphers done by all three rappers that were included on BTS albums.
J-hope has a solo mixtape as well and his style is different from RM's and SUGA's but he's very good. I would recommend Airplane and Baseline.
And if you want to see the versatility they have as rappers, check out songs like People off of AGUST D's latest mixtape (D-2) and RM's recent mixtape called mono.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for tuning in. The cyphers are definitely something on my list, really keen to watch those actually. Is there anything else you would like to see?
@@AltSpace as far as more rap line focused, NeverMind, HipHopPhile, Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, intro: soooo luv affair. For vocalists, since you haven't watched much of their stuff yet would be house of cards, the truth untold, and dimple. It would also be really cool to see you react to videos that tell you more about who they are as people like "Who is BTS?: The Seven Members of Bangtan" and the Nobodies to Legends 2018/2019.
I really enjoy your reactions. You react, but you also analyze, and I appreciate that. If you’d like more info on RM, there’s a new channel called Bangtan Boot Camp that did a video a couple weeks ago and it’s the best I’ve ever seen. They go into examples of how his wordplay is so impressive. I believe they’re planning to do intros for the other members too.
Thahk you Cate, I'm gonna check out that channel for sure!
Thanks, I'll definitely check that out! 💜
I think the lyrics about Sweden Germany Brazil and Japan was about how his fame reaches many countries, while the rappers he bashes have got a small reach and their fan base is only in Korea Like the words : The few hip-hop fangirls at Hongdae variety shows are your regulars
this song of rm talking about people that doubt about his talent and him he doesnt speak about countries. a lot of people they run their mouth about him when he started his career and through this song shows his talent and where he is now without forgetting where he was
This is why ARMY appreciate it when people take the time to look at the English translation of the lyrics and understand what they're singing/rapping about. I mean yeah, they have their hype songs, of course, but a lot of their music has some sort of message or thought they want to convey, too. Thank you for this video!
I'm impressed! You got the meaning/message behind the song which most reactors wouldn't know. And because of that, i subscribe 😉💜
Finally! Someone who truly understands RM’s Joke!
1st time seeing you and love you reaction. You got the meaning of this song. Really enjoyed it and yes I hit that subscribed button! Gonna binge on the rest of your BTS reactions.Sending love from Aus 🇦🇺💜 😊
Thank you so much for watching and tuning in, just know you're massively appreciated ♥️
I'm so happy for you to discover the treasure chest of BTS! Can't wait to go on this journey with you!
I just love the way you react on this joke of rm your were the one who actually got what is joke about ❤❤
This was a great review! Probably the best I have seen of RM. You got it 👌
💜🇧🇷💜RM is no joke!!! He is The Rap Monster!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks
I am 100% subscribing to you. Your reactions actually give useful insight and show your understanding of the genre as a whole. Great job!!!
I’m glad to see someone finally take the time and acknowledge what he means behind what he says! Like he said in the part about “meaningless wordplay”, he’s just showing how much he can say gibberish and STILL be better than the ones that say “fast rap=talent” which is a reason it’s called Joke!
Quadruple threat!!!! 1st time I’ve heard that one.
Great reaction...
Your reaction did not disappoint! Loving your uploads, keep it up!💜
Thanks dude, I massively appreciate your comment ♥️
Wowwww literally you nailed it on the first listen so impressive!
hongdae is a university. the "hongdae variety" is most likely a reference to the street near the university where amateurs go to do song cover or dance covers. they're all crowded on that one street and perform at the same time. basically a street for busking
Woaahh, so you got the meaning of this track...you're the only reactor I watch that actually found that 😂😂 thank you
Stare all you want my man... I'm already subscribed. 😜
If any BTS rapper mentions another rapper the're not dissing them but acknowledging them. Anyways loved the reaction!!
Now you're only missing a J-HOPE song. Also I think you would like BTS's Hip-Hoppfile/ HIP-HOP LOVER.
Dope, thank you for pointing that out!
This gets me so hype
I like your reaction and for sure Namjoon (RM) is the best rapper I'v ever seen try to listen to his other rap songs like (do you) and (I believe) much love.
i subbed bc of this reaction. thank u for understanding RMs mindset
I love your reactions (and not just the BTS ones!) I enjoy reactors that actually bring something to the table whether it is the cinematography, dancing, singing, etc. And now I have found one that goes through lyrics. Honestly, I enjoy BTS because of their honest and poetic lyrics. To piggy back on other comments, I hope you have a chance to react to or at least listen to Ddaeng and watch the DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng. The number of meanings the word Ddaeng can take on in a 3 minute song is mind blowing.
So this vid came up in my recomends i loved it so much looked at the other stuff u reacted to and saw nf....my dude ur journey with him needs to start from mansion but gonna check out what u have so far u def got a new sub
I'm over here clapping and grinning ear to ear. I miss this era of RM's solo work. I love his more intellectual, philosophical lyrics, don't get me wrong, but oh how he used to EVICERATE the competition.
Finally someone that understands rap
Really like youre reaction to my bias baby rm❤
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
He is extremely intelligent and it shows in his lyrics. He actually said that this song was just a play on words.
Hi i just saw your vid in recommendation. I love your reaction because you get what namjoon really meant. Btw, You should check hiphop lovers by bts that song indicates how they got into hiphop.
Thank you for your suggestion! ❤️
I'm like a year late but I don't see any comments about this but RM wasn't dissing the 4 nations saying their rappers have dirty tongues.... those are the countries he just toured through so he's flexing that he has global reach/audience to these dope countries. RM doesn't disrespect whole countries :) especially those specific ones listed
You are just great. Thanks so much.
Finally , BTS's reaction . Thank you )
You got it on point!💜
Thank you so much!
RM is amazing. I think you'll also really enjoy Year of the Ox - Captain America and Twighlight Zone.
Incredible Korean-American rappers.
I'm on the lookout for more korean rappers! Thank you for your suggestions
Just found your channel off of the nf video thought you would be bigger I like how you actually react and talk about the stuff going on. I recommend something from token my fav album by him is somewhere in-between so any song in their would be good or code red.
You have to react to buckubucku ft RM and EE please 😭😭😭😭😭its a huge bop
RM comes for mumble rappers ALOT in the track
Good! Not saying that I don't like mumble rappers but it feels like they're just milking hip hop beats, drugs and clout for money. That's why I respected this song so much 🔥
I love that you mentioned Nas too because RM considers him to be one of his main influences (and got shy when they met at an award show lol). If you listen to Hip Hop File (you dont have to review it just listen!) you can see just how much they appreciate the culture.
I hope u can react to his old mixtape.. Its bop.. Tq 4 reacting.. I'm gonna subscribe..
Thank you dude! I will react to more of his videos soon 🙏🏿
namjoon é surreal
I like your reaction, he's amazing really amazing
This is so intense!!! Thanks for breaking it down! 😏
You got that exactly right!
RM has a really high IQ, super smart. Then there were so many underground and popular rappers that gave him and Suga shit for joining BTS, saying they sold out and that real rappers wouldn't do that. There were ever rappers giving them grief who openly admitted they had never listened to BTS or any of the BTS rap or their dolo rap
Brilliant reaction!! I'm really impressed that you got the meaning behind the song and the lyrics on a first watch, not many reactors get it. You should also react to the Cypher series, where BTS destroy their haters.
U got the meaning of the tittle of these song so right....
Thank you my dude, I thought the title was self explanatory lool but took me a hot minute to get there 😅
loved your videos💯 subscribed/ side note. RM was a underground rapper so was Suga ,one who was also underground with RM was Changmo who i recommend to check out on Dingo killing verse there you can get a glimpse of other k-hiphop artist
No shots at A$AP. He is doing what good rappers do. He is using ASAP's lyrics and acknowledging the author.
"You must feel envious of my pay
Sweden, Germany, Brazil to Japan" is not a diss at foreign rappers but at Korean underground rappers. Notice the word to. He left the underground to become an Idol rapper and this was a list of some of the countries he as leader of very young Idol group BTS visited while the antis were stuck doing underground clubs.
Thatz our Monster !! 😎😆💜😘
Rm 💜😘
like #1000
uff, my TOC is happy now ñ_ñ
The MV is even better. Dark but really good
Pleaseeee react to his song “Monster” , it’s off the same mixtape this song was on
I'll see what I can do 😉
Still my favorite reaction to Joke, ever. 😘
Rap monstaaaaa 😍
RM didn’t diss any foreign rappers, but the fake rappers who actually can’t rap(be it white,black,asian).
RM is main songwriter of BTS,
RM wrote and produced his mixtape
Best joke's reaction
Please react to rm monster it flow there is fire
I think I'm quite late on this channel but about the references you didn't understand are actually Korean reference like the word "unnie" is actually what Korean girls or women call someone older girl or women in age like older sister or something like that. Note this term is only used between women so basically he said to the rappers that women call you sisters and also about the hongdae variety shows are basically local Korean rap show where rapper go to have fame he dissing them basically
