He is the first ever underground rapper who become an idol while Bobby is the first ever idol who won an underground rap battle, Show Me The Money 3. They are both from YG. Look at the power YG holds.
YG used to hold... BP was failure, treasure wasn't any better. Tbh ikon and winner weren't top either.. had the potential but musically all missing the YG top factor honestly... I mean popular for people who knew nothing of Korean music and those who fell in love years ago... YG has seriously degraded ☠️
I believe he was tapped at 12 syllables a second in this one. However, when he did it live for the Mama Awards he was faster then the playback to show that they don't lip sync.
Did you forget that he is the deep voiced rapper in Bigbang? Top is known for being quirky, weird, artistic and funny too. He is one of the best rappers in K-pop and he raps even faster than this when he does it live. I totally agree with you about not having to listen to the lyrics. I always watch an mv without lyrics so I can appreciate the music without their distraction. Then I can look at the lyrics later, but I'm glad you did check them out on this occasion. Anyway, no one has time to look up the lyrics of every song they hear. My other favourite song of Top's is "Turn It Up". You should also react to his song with G-Dragon called "Zutter".
TOP kinda popularized of having that deep ass voice rap in kpop. He used to be a underground rapper then he auditioned to YG. From what I can remember, he decided to become a rapper when he started listening to notorious B.I.G. when he was a kid.
he is a member of Big Bang and a true undergroung rapper! he literrally came from the streets before joining big bang ! the live performance of this song was so mindblowing to the audience, staff and the other artists cuz he rapped way to fast than the original song then dropped his mic😂
Ahh. T.O.P. one of the goats in BIGBANG. TOP walks, everyone screams. TOP takes sunglasses off, everyone screams. TOP opens his eyes with a smoldering look, everyone screams. TOP danced, everyone died. 🤣 LOL he's a dance machine. And maaaan, he's the epitome of handsomeness! ❤️
Yay! I'm so glad you liked my request. T.O.P. or TOP are both acceptable. Hes known for being really out there and weird. You should check out his insta lol! He's very artistic and deep but also sometimes just does stuff for the lolz. 🤣 I remember for a while he would just post pictures of chairs....just chairs. 😅
DUDE HE'S THE T.O.P OF TOP RAPPERS OF 2ND GEN KPOP AND UNTIL NOW, RAPPERS NOWADAYS LOOK UP TO HIM. this is his solo song, and he is also the main rapper of Bigbang which GD is the leader
What you witnessed is just a tip of an iceberg..Bigbang have so much to offer..They are the true legends..For more insanity watch their live performances..I bet you won’t regret watching it..
T.O.P is the 1st underground rapper in KPOP. Since his debut in 2006, many talented underground rappers started debuting as kpop idols (Block B's Zico, BTOB Minhyuk, BAP Younguk, Winner Mino etc). Before 2006, kpop idols were looked down by the general public and khiphop artists (that idols are "money-making-company-produced" products) instead of artists. T.O.P wanted to break that stigma. The huge success of BIGBANG, proved to the general public that IDOLS can make their own music and be this talented in rapping as TOP. So that's why he is referring to being ORIGINAL. Also TOP is a big fan of ART (he is a big art collector) so the whole music video is about DADAism - a movement in art based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values (that's why there are a lot of confusing things used for mv). As for originators of khip-hop are: Drunken Tiger (his is LEGEND), Dynamic Duo, Epik High, Yoon Mirae, Verbal Jint, Jinusean, 1TYIM and Leesang. and I think the 1st artist that introduced "RAP" in South Korean is Hyun Jin-young. But group Seo Taiji and Boys are the ones who added "hiphop" to kpop. Check them out - they are the ones who started "KPOP"!
6:50 OKAY. I know this was 2 months ago. BUT AFTER HEARING WHAT YOU SAID I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT YG ENTERTAINMENT OR YG MYSIC VIDEOS IN GENERAL BACK IN THE DAYS DID NOT HAVE SUBTITLES PRECISELY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HAVE SAID. G-Dragon specifically has said it in one of his interviews that they want their MV’s to tell a story and have other people feel and understand their message just by what they are hearing and seeing. But since K-pop has become more popular overseas the subtitles became a need so that they are able to attract more fans. At the end of the day, YG ARTISTS ARE ARTISTS AND JUST A DIFFERENT BREED.
He is TOP from BIGBANG. well he's the first *correct me if i'm wrong* underground rapper who becomes "idol rapper". so he basically grew up in underground scheme. oh watch the live version if you have time ! it's fcking great like some cult ceremonies, LOL
Pretty much all First Gen rappers came from the underground because rap music in Korea was literally "underground" because it was considered subversive.
Yes, he was the first underground rapper to be an idol. YG was the first hiphop entertainment agency. They were also underground hiphop agency back then
I can't remember the entire quote, but Rolling Stone Magazine described Big Bang as way ahead of their time. In retrospect, it is sooo true! Their music and videos are captivating. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs Up, and Subscribed ;)
i came across your reaction video for the first time, and I subscribe to your vid because of what you said about music being universal and we should just appreciate it. If I may add about Doom Dada, TOP (from group BIGBANG), he is the first underground rapper that became an idol. Doom Dada is is full of symbolism. TOP shows his deep admiration in art (the name itself derived from "Dadaism') and this music video talks about much more things - inspiration, mass media, art etc. Hope you'll check the meaning behind the mv some other time P/s keep up the good work! You did really great in giving your reaction
T.O.P - Top or The Original Pimp is from Bigbang. I completely agree with you. I don't understand Korean but I understand cadence and what pleases my senses when it comes to kpop songs and videos....especially Bigbang and its members.
"His flow is completely different" - brooo what do you expect, he is the king. Check Big Bang music, that is the real king of kpop. Add on ; check 2NE1 as well. That is their sisters basically. King and Queen, a legend. You gained a new subscriber here, I love your reaction in every videos 💖
The interesting part is that there is a lot of symbolism in the video. There is a whole essay on what’s actually going on. The dada part comes from the art movement Dadaism. T.O.P here is dressed up as artist Salvador Dali. The video references a couple of his paintings. There’s also very obvious reference to the movie 2011: A space Odyssey. T.O.P himself is into art and is a big art collector. The chairs in the video are actually from his collection.
Ah TOP... My ultimate bias. He is a member of BIGBANG. He has had a huge impact on the rapping in kpop over the years for sure. The first underground rapper turned into an idol turned into an actor turned into a true artist. All five members are legends as individuals and even more so as BIGBANG. I highly recommend getting to know all of their solo carees, you can see how versatile they actually are and that each one of them can shine solo. Pleaseee react to Daesung - Anymore Japan Dome Tour 2017 (there's no MV, ua-cam.com/video/ai3TzaLZ7iA/v-deo.html)!! He's solos are so underrated. Here is an iconic live version of Doom Dada from Bigbang's 10th anniversary consert 0to10 final: ua-cam.com/video/RHBMOfTmZd8/v-deo.html
I'm not sure if you're gonna read this but you were reading the lyrics from Genius and often you have highlighted words ( like "Pinot Noir" "Basquiat" "Somelier", etc) and if you click on them in the same page you will get an explination (they tend to be acurate). T.O.P is known for his taste in arts and a lot of time in his songs he chooses to make a lot of mentions so many words would go over people's knowledge at first watch/listen. Also it has already been said but: T.O.P is a member of BigBang debuted (with them) 2006 but before that he was an underground rapper in Korea (probably 16-18yo), so when he says "the real one is here" he ain't lying. Back in 2013 he was talking about the upcoming rappers within Kpop but you can also talk about nowday rappers/kpop rappers.

Man, just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you said about enjoying the music even though you can't understand the lyrics. I get so tired of people shunning foreign music just because the lyrics aren't in English; it's so close-minded and more importantly they're just cutting themselves off from awesome music!
Your review got you a new subscriber 🙋🏾♀️ Iv seen others react to this and they laugh the whole way through and call it weird 🙄 I learnt all about what this mv was referencing from other ppls comments and now I just enjoy it. One of many BigBang members songs I have on repeat. Miss these guys 😔
Just finished watching all your bigbang reaction! I loved everything thank you so much for reacting! I wish i have the money to support you, all the best!!
The song, the video, the tone and everything consist of deep meaning. History and in reference of Daidaism as well as influence. The fact that he used it in his music is a bold and a statement itself. Love Bigbang and T.O.P the eldest member. Thank you for your reaction.
This is one of my favorite MVs in kpop (ever!!) and it's a really under appreciated one because people think it's just a super wierd video. T.O.P. enjoys a lot of art so this MV is referencing a lot of the art movement called Dadaism (which also contributes to the title [he's a genius]) , he even has a reference to Salvador Dali. And it's just a well write song as well-- I'm always sad that T.O.P. doesnt have more songs out there but yeah a rare genius p.s. i almost forgot!!!!!!!!!!! also a reference to space oddyssey!!!!!!!! so good
You're one of the few people that actually can read what it is that TOP is saying through the visuals of the video. My respect, you think deep and speak well. 👏👏👏
If you want to understand this m/v, TOP's cowboy/spaceman scene in Bang Bang Bang, and TOP himself, do yourself a favor and watch the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
T.O.P is the frst ever Deep Voice Rapper from YG and in Kpop history ,and a member of Bigbang, actually TOP is the reason why the other companies follow the trend that created by YG, so since then the other company need to put a rapper with a low voice or someting deep voice too in each group. Yg set the trend way back since Bigbang was born. Check their music as group and solo too. You will enjoy it thank you for the reaction.
I'm very late to this reaction and I see a lot of comments about how TOP is the OG rapper-in-boy-bands legend, etc. I don't know how many people have also mentioned that TOP is well known for being a big lover of art (he makes references to artists frequently) and leans into the weird. Dadaism was an avant-garde art movement that was all about challenging norms, defying classical classification of art and interpretation, etc., and I will always love the surrealist visual and audio elements to this MV for playing with the feel of that movement.
T.O.P. truly ruined me for other K-rappers... his voice is so unique and one of a kind in this field whenever you listen to other k-rappers - you kinda wanna say - what would it sound like of T.O.P. did it...
I’m so happy to see T.O.P here! Because I think this mv is so underrated and your reation is so satisfying! LOL I appreciate it. I really want BIGBANG’s come back. Please react to ‘Good boy’ by GD&Taeyang. It’s one of my favorites like this song.
The skill of BigBang is they can do 90% korean and people still feel their power.. nowdays k groups need 99% english to be kbown. bigBang is the original that kpop is missing.
THANK YOU! for understanding the love for Kpop doesn't require understanding the language...imo it's a bless listening to something I love just for the beat comparing to listening to something just blab about ass and money XD
ohhhh My Forever BIAS 🥰 The Rap God 👑 T.O.P/TOP is a member of BIGBANG, The KINGS of KPOP 💛👑 please check also his Live Performance of Doom DaDa at BIGBANG 0-10 concert. Thank you
TOP is 1 of BigBang's rapper. he was an underground rapper before debuted with BigBang. with that, he's the first underground rapper who debuted as idol. please check out GD & TOP duet songs : Knocked out, High High, Baby Goodnight, Zutter
The MV was heavily inspired by Dada/Dadaism and Salvatore Dali (Salvatore Dali wears his mustache upside down which TOP also does in the MV). This MV is basically a mix of contemporary art and Old fashioned art. Dada was a movement of the European avant-garde in eary 20th century. It was a development in reaction to WWI. Dada consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason and aestheticism of modern capitaism society. Instead expressing nonsense, irrationality and anti-bourgoise protest in their works was first. In short, Dadaism was a PROVOCATION against the capitaistic society after WWI. While Salvador Dalí was not part of the Dada movement, their ideas shaped his work. Like the Dadaists, Dalí's work seeks to PROVOCATE (like TOP's MV): 1. The baby: Dali did a painting called "Baby Map of the World". It is a giant baby’s head with countries and axis through it. The painting symbolises that children are the future of the world. Top is basically alluding that the youth is the future of rap. 2. The atomic explosion: Dali created many works of art surrounding this subject expressing his horror on these bombs. One of them was the Three Sphinxes of Bikini. 3. Zebra: The Zebra Cavalier by Salvatore Dali Also, when TOP mentions “I’m the rap Basquiat”, this is in reference to Jean-Michel Basquiat. One of his paintings, a black skull with red and yellow sold for around $110M making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold. At 5:24, when the Whanki Foundation copyright appears, is a painting of Kim Whanki, Korea's pioneering abstract art artist. TOP is his great nephew. A sommelier is basically a wine expert. Becoming a sommelier is notoriously hard, with the exams having a low pass rate. I believe there are only 262 master sommeliers in the world right now.
TOP is an underground rapper before he became an idol that's why sometimes his flow is not like a typical type of rapper and he is a member of BIGBANG known as THE KINGS OF KPOP 👑💖💯
T.O.P is the lead rapper of BIGBANG.. he is the first ever underground rapper to be debuted in an idol group.. He and G-Dragon are childhood friends which then led to debuting in the same group as BIGBANG from YG Entertainment.. You should check out GD & T.O.P - Gutter .. Usually the underground rappers or the main hip hop rappers hates the idol group rappers but BIGBANG is highly respected by them also bcoz they are unique and they bring the hip hop culture in mainstream kpop world..
TOP is the reason most idol groups have that one deep-voiced rapper. ROFL. Like, he literally is the standard.
tru he set the trend lmao
Bigbang is the blue print ... the industry build by the great blue print😎.
Amen

T.O.P is the main rapper of BIGBANG. An extraordinary rapper, songwriter and producer.
TOP is the low tone rapper of Bigbang alongside with GDragon. ONE OF THE KINGS.
One person with sick flo..Dude can spit! Check it out live at the award show..
He started as an underground rapper. You gotta check out the live performance. 0-10 SEOUL concert
T.O.P is the 1st underground rapper in KPOP.
Since his debut in 2006, many talented underground rappers started debuting as kpop idols (Block B's Zico, BTOB Minhyuk, BAP Younguk, Winner Mino etc). Before 2006, kpop idols were looked down by the general public and khiphop artists (that idols are "money-making-company-produced" products) instead of artists. T.O.P wanted to break that stigma.
The huge success of BIGBANG, proved to the general public that IDOLS can make their own music and be this talented in rapping as TOP. So that's why he is referring to being ORIGINAL.
Also TOP is a big fan of ART (he is a big art collector) so the whole music video is about DADAism - a movement in art based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values (that's why there are a lot of confusing things used for mv).
As for originators of khip-hop are: Drunken Tiger (his is LEGEND), Dynamic Duo, Epik High, Yoon Mirae, Verbal Jint, Jinusean, 1TYIM and Leesang.
and I think the 1st artist that introduced "RAP" in South Korean is Hyun Jin-young. But group Seo Taiji and Boys are the ones who added "hiphop" to kpop. Check them out - they are the ones who started "KPOP"!

I get so tired of people shunning foreign music just because the lyrics aren't in English; it's so close-minded and more importantly they're just cutting themselves off from awesome music!
Your review got you a new subscriber 🙋🏾♀️
Iv seen others react to this and they laugh the whole way through and call it weird 🙄 I learnt all about what this mv was referencing from other ppls comments and now I just enjoy it. One of many BigBang members songs I have on repeat. Miss these guys 😔
The badass OG! Along with GD made hip-hop massive in K-Pop!
His MV and lyrics are so genius! The bit and flow are insane! Simply THE KING! 👑
Just finished watching all your bigbang reaction! I loved everything thank you so much for reacting! I wish i have the money to support you, all the best!!
The song, the video, the tone and everything consist of deep meaning. History and in reference of Daidaism as well as influence. The fact that he used it in his music is a bold and a statement itself.
Love Bigbang and T.O.P the eldest member. Thank you for your reaction.
FINALLY!!! ❤️ thankyou for reacting!!!
You should watch him singing this song live in MAMA 2013 he raps that part even faster than the back track haha
Watching this dude react to big bang brings a BIG SMILE ON MY FACE ❤️ (and most YG groups too 🔥🔥 groups from YG are so different and lit)
TOP-TURN IT UP
This is one of my favorite MVs in kpop (ever!!) and it's a really under appreciated one because people think it's just a super wierd video. T.O.P. enjoys a lot of art so this MV is referencing a lot of the art movement called Dadaism (which also contributes to the title [he's a genius]) , he even has a reference to Salvador Dali. And it's just a well write song as well-- I'm always sad that T.O.P. doesnt have more songs out there but yeah
a rare genius
p.s. i almost forgot!!!!!!!!!!! also a reference to space oddyssey!!!!!!!! so good
Love TOP always & 4ever! Love your reaction to this video! Awesome Job.
T.O.P always TOP
love this reaction..the honesty..
From underground rapping to a kpop artist/hiphop artist and he's the blueprint to all the deepvoice rappers in every kpop group
You're one of the few people that actually can read what it is that TOP is saying through the visuals of the video. My respect, you think deep and speak well. 👏👏👏
If you want to understand this m/v, TOP's cowboy/spaceman scene in Bang Bang Bang, and TOP himself, do yourself a favor and watch the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
He's like eminem, slim shady, and marshall bruce matters
T.O.P is the frst ever Deep Voice Rapper from YG and in Kpop history ,and a member of Bigbang, actually TOP is the reason why the other companies follow the trend that created by YG, so since then the other company need to put a rapper with a low voice or someting deep voice too in each group. Yg set the trend way back since Bigbang was born. Check their music as group and solo too. You will enjoy it thank you for the reaction.
I'm very late to this reaction and I see a lot of comments about how TOP is the OG rapper-in-boy-bands legend, etc. I don't know how many people have also mentioned that TOP is well known for being a big lover of art (he makes references to artists frequently) and leans into the weird. Dadaism was an avant-garde art movement that was all about challenging norms, defying classical classification of art and interpretation, etc., and I will always love the surrealist visual and audio elements to this MV for playing with the feel of that movement.
I love how when you play this MV you think it is crazy enough and it keeps getting crazier
I think you should also see the live perf of Doom Dada.
There's also a Doom Dada perf from TOP, MINO and DARA during YG Fam concert
I really like the way you explained these videos, made me subscribe
Music is music 👏👏👏
DOOM DADA is magnific! 💛
T.O.P. truly ruined me for other K-rappers... his voice is so unique and one of a kind in this field whenever you listen to other k-rappers - you kinda wanna say - what would it sound like of T.O.P. did it...
If he's continuing reaction to bigbang and members in the near future, I think I'll subscribe 😄
TOP is from big bang. btw you should react to zutter by GD and TOP
I’m so happy to see T.O.P here! Because I think this mv is so underrated and your reation is so satisfying! LOL I appreciate it. I really want BIGBANG’s come back.
Please react to ‘Good boy’ by GD&Taeyang. It’s one of my favorites like this song.
8:50 the way you put your headphone is very polite😆
yessss finally
He is EVERYTHING
been waitin for this,thx wil
The skill of BigBang is they can do 90% korean and people still feel their power.. nowdays k groups need 99% english to be kbown. bigBang is the original that kpop is missing.
I love this reaction, you brought up fresh, new points. Now I’m off to your channel to see if you have other Big Bang reactions 💃🏻
THANK YOU! for understanding the love for Kpop doesn't require understanding the language...imo it's a bless listening to something I love just for the beat comparing to listening to something just blab about ass and money XD
Top👑
Thank you for reacting💛
ohhhh My Forever BIAS 🥰 The Rap God 👑
T.O.P/TOP is a member of BIGBANG, The KINGS of KPOP 💛👑
please check also his Live Performance of Doom DaDa at BIGBANG 0-10 concert. Thank you
Bigbang! The kings of Kpop. You will surely enjoy watching their live performed, especially in Japan Dome Concert
How could you not remember TOP from Bigbang? He's the main rapper with the deep voice. He's one of the Kings of Kpop.
you should watch the live performance in, idk if it's MAMA, but yea, the way he rapped faster than the MR 🤯
t.o.p aka the first underground rapper to become an idol
Actually the father of K-hip hop is Tiger JK. Check him out and his group MFBTY. They are awesome.
You can read it as both top or t.o.p!! :D thanks for reacting!! Ps. The live version is so much better!! For both bigbang and its members
TOP is 1 of BigBang's rapper. he was an underground rapper before debuted with BigBang. with that, he's the first underground rapper who debuted as idol.
please check out GD & TOP duet songs : Knocked out, High High, Baby Goodnight, Zutter
YES, music is music no matter the language or anything. LOVE THIS
The MV was heavily inspired by Dada/Dadaism and Salvatore Dali (Salvatore Dali wears his mustache upside down which TOP also does in the MV). This MV is basically a mix of contemporary art and Old fashioned art.
Dada was a movement of the European avant-garde in eary 20th century. It was a development in reaction to WWI. Dada consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason and aestheticism of modern capitaism society. Instead expressing nonsense, irrationality and anti-bourgoise protest in their works was first. In short, Dadaism was a PROVOCATION against the capitaistic society after WWI.
While Salvador Dalí was not part of the Dada movement, their ideas shaped his work. Like the Dadaists, Dalí's work seeks to PROVOCATE (like TOP's MV):
1. The baby:
Dali did a painting called "Baby Map of the World". It is a giant baby’s head with countries and axis through it. The painting symbolises that children are the future of the world. Top is basically alluding that the youth is the future of rap.
2. The atomic explosion: Dali created many works of art surrounding this subject expressing his horror on these bombs. One of them was the Three Sphinxes of Bikini.
3. Zebra: The Zebra Cavalier by Salvatore Dali
Also, when TOP mentions “I’m the rap Basquiat”, this is in reference to Jean-Michel Basquiat. One of his paintings, a black skull with red and yellow sold for around $110M making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold.
At 5:24, when the Whanki Foundation copyright appears, is a painting of Kim Whanki, Korea's pioneering abstract art artist. TOP is his great nephew.
A sommelier is basically a wine expert. Becoming a sommelier is notoriously hard, with the exams having a low pass rate. I believe there are only 262 master sommeliers in the world right now.
King of Kings.. see the live shows they are great !!!!
TOP is an underground rapper before he became an idol that's why sometimes his flow is not like a typical type of rapper and he is a member of BIGBANG known as THE KINGS OF KPOP 👑💖💯
T.O.P is the lead rapper of BIGBANG.. he is the first ever underground rapper to be debuted in an idol group.. He and G-Dragon are childhood friends which then led to debuting in the same group as BIGBANG from YG Entertainment.. You should check out GD & T.O.P - Gutter .. Usually the underground rappers or the main hip hop rappers hates the idol group rappers but BIGBANG is highly respected by them also bcoz they are unique and they bring the hip hop culture in mainstream kpop world..
thats y big bang still kings of kpop
him and gd together are the reason most kpop groups have rap lines
Sometimes it takes listening to music in a language you don't speak to learn how you appreciate music in general.
