BTS RM JOKE REACTION (RAP MONSTER) 

This song is an answer to haters saying RM can’t rap fast the lyrics are intertwined with meaningless and meaningful lyrics. The title is basically calling the haters JOKES. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

the ‘hit me’ at the end is so satisfying bc no one ever hit back at him

Also: Unnie is what a young girl calls an older girl. So by him saying “girls call you unnie” he’s saying he’s a bitch lmao

yea most rappers in kpop do NOT write their own lyrics, let alone produce their own music. Cant wait until yall get into their Cyphers. This man taught himself how to speak English... he's very smart.

RM is a lyrical genius. Respect our lovely leader😋

It’s funny cause Agust d literally just said the same thing as you guys, he was like “ I thought all rappers write their own music😮” with an innocent look lol while insinuating tons of rappers today

We Americans are entirely too obsessed with having a tough macho image. It's demented.

Six shots, six bullets refer to the other six members of the group.

Namjoon is a lyrical genius. He has a way with words. The more you guys listen and learn about BTS, the more you'll see that their music is art and poetry.

You guys should check out their cyphers where the whole rap line raps

7:15 thats not it. The songs you have listened to so far are all title tracks, they usually keep their title tracks pg because they have to promote it on korean television and kbs (korean broadcasting system) rules are VERY strict like for example one of their songs got banned from kbs because of having "goddamn" in it. The songs they dont have to promote on korean television like joke and daechwita are explicit

Yes the word play is insane from RM. He knows how to play with lyrics in multiple languages to get the right flow and meaning that he wants. Being vulgar doesn't make something "real" and plenty of pop songs have swearing it. As others have pointed out the group has over 500 songs and they don't shy away from saying what they want to say, even to this day. They are clever and sneaky with their wordplay and using slang to get around censors etc. Just learning the Korean language isn't enough as there are insane amount of understanding of cultural context, slang and history that is required to really deep dive into their work. A lot of the lyric videos we don't trust as they don't take a lot of these contexts in place and sometimes have 'mistranslations'. Doolset Bangtan is a website we love with lyric translations that includes a lot of annotations and explanations. Wait until you find out what he did in the song Trivia: Love.

Lol. It's funny that you acknowledge that real rappers SHOULD write their own bars, which you're right about, and you're reacting to Blackpink who basically write not one word of their music. As do 95% of the fast talkers you'll meet if you keep reacting to k-pop. That's why BTS are so unique in that industry; because from day 1 they were always encouraged to write their own stuff, and their own stories. RM has an IQ of 148, a lyrical GENIUS, and Suga writes and produces all of his own stuff. J-Hope does a lot of that too. And while it's true that BTS' sound has changed since debut, the rappers' solo stuff still don't have filters. They say what they want to; it's just that they've let go of a lot of anger they had back then, so their content isn't as visceral.

So this is sample of Run the Jewels Oh My Darling (don't cry) off of his first mix tape. At the time he was reviving alot of hate for leaving the underground rap scene and fast rapping was being hailed as the epitome of talent. So he wrote this is response using flow of thought and it's a bit nonsensical. The goal was to just rap fast non stop. As a joke. Lol

I will say BTS is super diverse in their discography especially with their b tracks. Most army have an appreciation for their title tracks but the true love is for the b tracks. You can see each members versatility in their solo work. I would suggest checking out the rap line songs like Ugh, Ddaeng, and the cyphers! They’re a talented group…the rap line is self produced and true lyricists.

Namjoon is pretty good at doing what he promises. If he wanna prove something to you, HE WILL!

Rm actually started as an underground rapper and went by the name Ruch Randa. He is a literal lyrical genius. I really recommend yall to react to "Ddaeng," "Ugh," and "Baepsae." These are songs from bts' rapline. And also really really recommend yall to react to the guide to bts by Taylor. It's really helpful and entertaining. Army will absolutely love that reaction! As always, thanks for the reaction!💜

you should watch the bts guiede if you have the time you can learn so much

Guys….rappers in many different countries rap like this in their own language. Don’t make the mistake in thinking that only US rappers rap like this. Don’t fall into that mindset. Btw, the beat/track of this song is by Run The Jewels’ song Oh My Darling. RM did this version

Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Namjoon is the leader, a genius with IQ of 148, poet, lyricist, songwriter, rapper, producer, dancer, singer. He is widely respected in the industry amongst his peers as one of the most experimental artist with the clearest artistic vision. As the group's leader, he has played a pivotal role in fostering unity, creativity, and resilience within the group. Namjoon's intelligence, humility, and dedication to his craft make him not just a remarkable artist but also a role model for many. His influence extends far beyond the realm of music, shaping conversations and sparking change in society. He embodies the values of authenticity, perseverance, and kindness, making him a truly admirable figure in the entertainment industry and beyond. His album Indigo is a masterpiece. It is literally a piece of art.

Don't underestimate without knowing about them 😂

Rm is the leader for BTS. He also the main raip in this group and the main writer, suga/agust d is the lead rapper and the main producer, jhope is rapper also the lead and main dancer.❤

He's the most talented and hardworking member and artist 💙💙

Namjoon is not just a freaky ass legendary rapper but he’s such a fine lyrical god. The word play in his songs.. would literally want you to learn Korean just to understand his songs. He’s so freakin amazing. We’re so proud of him. He’s a genius. He’s a product of talent, understanding, Hardwork, intelligence and such a beautiful tongue haha 😭❤️ NOW YOU SHOULD REACT TO WILD FLOWER BY RM AND UGH BY BTS! YOU’LL BE BLOWN AWAY! 😭

💜🇧🇷💜RM rapping is no joke and this song is fire!! RM started making his name for his lyrics and rapping even starting in BTS. He started aa an underground rapping when he was 13 years old, first member of the group, main lyricist, composer, producer and, has to learn how to dance when Big Hit change the group from Hip Hop to Idol group. He continued to do his projects aside from the group and has a lot of collaboration with other rappers as well. The group was put together around RM. He was the only one at the time that speaking English. I love that Rap Monster era and his mix tapes.💜thanks. I think you will like his song Monster and Do You.

"they can rap like this somewhere else?" y'all coudn't be more colonizers than that. countries have their own studies and creative flows, the word does not turn around your country.

09:20 Suga/AgustD stated in his suchwita talk show “rappers write their own raps”. Shot’s fired to those claim to be rappers. Savage king! Also, Joke is a response to those that said he is not a rapper.

I don’t know why you guys think BTS doesn’t curse anymore since they “went mainstream”. You only watched ONE group song from like 5 years ago. They have always cursed whenever they felt it was necessary, and they continue to do it regardless of how big they have gotten. Their songs are not PG nor are they like silly love songs with no meaning. A few recently released songs of the top of my head that have curse words: All Day (RM) Yun (RM) Set me free pt. 2 (Jimin) HUH?! (Suga and J-Hope) Arson (J-Hope) UGH (BTS rap line) Born singer (BTS) This song is basically a “joke”, hence the tittle, this song was RM responding to haters saying that he had no flow, couldn’t do fast rap and was not real hiphop since he chose to become an idol. RM is basically showing that you can have the best flow, and the fastest rap, but without meaningful lyrics it’s nothing but a joke. RM is the main song writers of BTS, so he cares A LOT abt lyrics and meaning, even if it may not seem like it, the lyrics of Boy With Luv are much deeper than you think and his rap in it is insanely creative and smart, I recommend checking out explanation videos and search for the song on Doolset to understand the song better. I also thought it was funny how you say that to be a rapper you need to write your own lyrics, which is something that BTS have always stood by, against the majority of K-pop, including the group you have reacted to quite a few times and said you thought were “more hiphop than BTS” a couple of reactions ago, for the most part they do not write their own verses.

The flow change!! The cadence!! The switching languages! Best rappers in SK: RM, SUGA and JHope! Thank you for reacting!

BTS contains 3 rappers who just happen to be part of an idol group, whereas other idol groups contain members who rap. A distinct difference. Don't expect to hear 5 tracks like Joke. BTS, whether as a group or solo, NEVER make the same song twice. It is that variety and the ability to surprise us every time that makes their fanbase in the multi millions worldwide. Note the rappers worked on these solos at the same time as working in BTS. They have artistic freedom to do this while being in the group. A LOT of work! Try his solo track MONSTER. It is more hip hop.💜

RM's debut name is Rapmonster. Around 2017 he decided to change it because his musicality spectrum was growing and he felt the name was limiting. His second mixtape is full of calmer melodic type rapping. Because RM's lyrics discuss so much of his journey to loving and excepting himself he gave a different explanation for his name. He said that RM didn't stand for anything specific, but kind of questioningly, he stated RM stands for Real Me. BTS started as a hip-hop group, but they were trained in a similar manner to idol groups (typical boy or girl bubblegum pop artists/performers). Rap is incorporated into a lot of Idol groups, many rappers from these groups do not write their own lyrics, and in my opinion very few of them are actually good. BTS rappers are some of the best from SK, and better than a lot of current rappers from the US. But because of their "idol rapper" status they are rarely recognized as actual rappers. So much so that Agust D, the most successful SK rapper, by way of album sales and tour revenue, wasn't nominated for a single Korean Hip-Hop award this year. He also wasn't nominated in any US rap categories despite having the highest rated rap album.

The recommended track you got from armys so far are PG. Korea is pretty strict about censorship so most things will be PG and recently, like Jungkook, he has to make the clean ver. of his solo song because the explicit ver. is not permitted to be promoted on TV etc. The rapper line especially still go hard in their solo album... but usually they try to tone it down for the main track/title track because ig dealing with censorship isn't fun ;A; just an input from an army!

BTS BORN SINGER please!

I’m sorry- swearing isn’t what makes rap « rap. » that’s a pretty limiting view. Rap doesn’t become « pop » if they don’t swear. But at least you recognize that if you aren’t writing your own flows you’re a performer, not a rapper.

I have MAD respect for Kim Namjoon (RM). He excels in language skills and it shows in both his eloquent public speaking (in Korean, English and Japanese) and his complex, poetic lyrics. He could have easily launched a full solo career at any point from the very start, and even had it offered to him on candid-camera but he declined without hesitation. He is highly intelligent both intellectually and emotionally. Most non-ARMY (fan base) people have NO idea how much nastiness and sheer hate this group has endured from its very beginning when they were still teenagers (oldest was 20) or from how many different fronts. RM and Suga’s underground rap peers turned against them accusing them of “selling out”. From the “idol” (K-pop group member) standpoint, they got hate for “controversial” song themes and/or lyrics and for being “ugly” and not “meeting idol standards”, to the point RM routinely wore dark sunglasses that hid his eyes and J-Hope wore accessories that covered part of his face during their debut photo shoots & MVs. As the leader and only fluent English speaker, RM took on the brunt of navigating the usually condescending, dismissive, culturally-insensitive and often blatantly disrespectful/hateful comments in interviews and other settings and strived to shield the other members from as much of it as he could. Still, on their first world tour they had to cancel a concert in NY halfway due to a credible 💀 threat against RM. As teammates the experience made them bond more tightly and become very supportive and protective of each other. They channeled their thoughts and feelings into their songs, pushing back against the haters on several BTS tracks. The rappers vented their anger more forcefully in solo mixtapes with aggressive songs like this one. The numbers 6 and/or 7 on their solo works usually refer to the other members or to BTS as a whole. The “six bullets/six snakes” line means his six fellow group members make him stronger as an artist/rapper, not weaker. After a long journey of seeking self-love and healing which they took fans on, they have largely purged that anger and aggressiveness and evolved their sounds and themes accordingly. The rapline songs Ddaeng and Ugh! are less 🤬 but still very much savage. I recommend checking out an “explained by a Korean” video after each one to catch the really deep and juicy wordplay.

Listen to Cyper pt.3(Live performance)...you won't be able to move on from this one

They always say what they want in their solo stuff still today. I have no idea what you are talking about. BTS rappers always write their own raps.

thanks for your reaction guys💜BTS are always like this and they still are ..their start was hip hop and they still have that influence..only difference is this ,that in older times their title tracks are more hiphop and rap type and their B-sides were more of a soft, EDM, pop and other genre but now they change it that their title tracks r now way more mainstream but their B-sides r now hiphop and rap and all that stuff..so people mostly listen to their super popular pop songs and they think that BTS is only pop group , which is not right..people r sleeping on BTS..so i want you to take a deeper dive so u can understand why BTS r on the top and is the best group💕 i can recommend u some..i hope you guys will check it out..💜 RAPLINE 1.

The comment meant BTS write all their own music....They have so many styles of music...R&B, EDM, Latin, etc... So yes, RM, Suga abd JHope write/record/perform their own raps.

RM is my favorite, but sometimes I also afraid with him,, He is nice leader, but sometimes he just🔥

Why, why, why do you keep saying that they no longer use “vulgar” language and why do words have to be categorized like that. Words just convey thoughts and emotions in my opinion. Anyway, you’ve heard so little from them. They have almost 500 total tracks/songs when including pre-debut, group, sub-unit & solos, Japanese songs, remixes & alternate versions, OSTs and collaborations. Each of the members has released a solo album during the past year and a half and 5 of the 7 cuss, some significantly, in their new stuff. Have they matured over the years? Yes, of course! They are human beings, so what they sing and rap about has changed some, but not completely. For instance, SUGA aka Agust D still criticizes how society works on many different levels. They all tend to have some social commentary in their work both individually and as a group. Btw, Agust D’s album, D-Day, was the first rap album EVER…ANYWHERE to sell a million copies on the day of release. All of this to say, do away with the western misconceptions and thought processes (and I’m American too). Just because we did something first back in the 1970’s (I was there memorizing the lyrics to Sugar Hill Gang’s Rappers Delight) doesn’t mean other people all around the world aren’t doing the same things 50 years later. I apologize if this comes across negative. Obviously, I like that you’re giving something new to you a chance, so I truly just want to help you along. I just beg you to not make statements that are not based on any solid information or facts. We, ARMY, will happily guide you on your BTS journey if you choose to jump down the rabbit hole. Finally, as others have suggested, watch The Guide to BTS Members; The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari. Watch it all in one go if possible; you’ll capture more of us that way. Oh, one more thing. The name Bangtan Sonyeondan was decided upon in 2010 I believe. That’s 3 years before they debuted. Their CEO wanted to create a group with artistic freedom, freedom they still enjoy today. He also wanted a group that the youth of their generation could look up to and they have certainly been that. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Rap Monster did not call himself this name for nothing He is wonderful and amazing His wording and wordplay are very good

Namjoon (RM) is the group's main writer. he currently has 218 music credits. he has a mixtape on soundcloud, a mixtape on spotify (mono) and his recent album (indigo), all has a different style, all their work is great, including the feats. recommendations for namjoon's react: wild flower, forever rain, monster.

I like your translation bulletproof squad 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

So RM actually started in the underground rap scene from the time he was a young teenager where people didn't want to battle him because he's just that good. Suga was also part of the underground rap scene when he was younger as well. J-hope who is the 3rd member of the rap line actually never rapped before becoming a trainee. He taught himself how to rap with help from RM and Suga. This song, Joke, like others have said is RM's respinse to people hating on him for being in an idol group saying he was a sellout and he can't rap. Because in thwir minds if you can't rap fast your not a good rapper. RM responded basically being like i can rap fast but rapping fast and using mumble rap or nonsensical words to fill your bars doesn't make it a good rap. Rm is extremely intelligent and chooses his words wisely when composing. He uses a lot of metaphor and double meanings in his lyrics so some of their other music which seems lighter or more pop isn't always the case. The way I've described the rap line is RM is very cerebral in his lyrics. Hes going to make you think and really look at the meaning of his words. Suga also does this but hes also very direct in your face. He doesn't mince words. If hes insulting you, you're going to know and feel the disrespect. J-hope is more lyrical I wanna say. You can feel the movement in his lyrics because he's a dancer and also a sub vocalist. Not to say he doesn't go hard because he does but there is a more distinct rhythmic feel to his flow.

This whole mixtape is amazing. I’m obsessed even today

He raps better than a lot of American rappers right now.

i know your gonna love "monster" its part of this mixtape too

RM is most diverse musically. Most artists' get repetitive album after album, none of RM's music sound the same! The only constant is his genius wordplay and deep introspection of self and the world in which he exists with a purpose. RM is really not typical of rappers or pop singers, he doesn't show-off but work to elevate others around him. Inside the world of ARMY, we know he is the main pillar of BTS, from concepts, to composing, producing, to lyrics. RM is a multi faceted artist who really, really loves music! His music and BTS will endure the test of time, unlike the Kpop fad happening right now. Most of those Kpop groups are performers of songs/raps that are written for them by their company

Check the Rap line... BTS Cyphers 1, 2, 3, & 4 RM - Joke, Do You, Persona, Seoul, Trivia: Love, Closer Suga (Agust D) - Daechwita, Seesaw (live performance), Moonlight J Hope - Day Dream, Airplane, Chicken Noodle Soup, Outro: Ego, More BTS songs that have an r&b vibe... Jimin - Serendipity, Filter (live performance) V - Singularity, Love Me Again, For Us Jungkook - Euphoria, My Time, Still With You BTS - Black Swan, Home (Jimmy Fallon performance), Make It Right feat Lauv, Dimple live performance

Now THAT is a real rapper, a real hip hop fan. Oh Namjoon, don't end with kpop rapper idols like that. I recommend you Throw away and Monster by RM too 🤭

Okay since you guys are rappers these are a few recommendations for you- RM: ‘Do You’, ‘Seoul’, ‘Wildflower’, ‘Persona’. Suga: ‘Person’, ‘The last’, ‘Polar Night’, ‘Shadow’. J Hope: ‘Day dream’, ‘Airplane’, ‘Arson’, ‘ Ego’. Rapline songs: ‘Ugh’, ‘Ddaeng’, ‘Outro: Tear’. Unit songs: RM & Suga: Respect J Hope and Suga : Huh Now, the last songs suggested for each rapper, ‘Persona’, ‘Shadow’ and ‘Ego’ are connected. So they have to be watched in that order. The concept of the song is based on Psychiatrist Carl Jung’s book ‘Map of the Soul’. If you want there are explanation videos for these songs as well as for ‘UGH’ and ‘Ddaeng’. The explanation video for ‘Ddaeng’ is a must because of all the Korean word play all international fans miss. Have fun y’all!! BTS is the best rapline in Korea.

BTS rappers write their own raps, but that's most often NOT the case for k-poppers, in general, for example Blackpink, etc., who are perhaps more accurately great performers rather than actual rappers, in that sense.

SINCE YOU LIKE HIP-HOP: •OUTRO:TEAR- BTS rappers song,2018 •Hip-Hop Lover/Phile- BTS song about their rap influences from old school rappers to recent ones,2015 •RUN BTS by BTS-2022,check out the concert or choreography video!!! •Born Singer- It’s the BTS adaptation of J. Cole’s Born Sinner they wrote in 2013 but J.Cole gave them permission to release it officially in 2022 •Just One Day-2014, more r&b and soft rap but I thought I should include it bc everyone suddenly learns how to sing in Korean bc it’s so catchy!! Haha There’s so much more BTS songs that are hip hop influenced and solo work as well. This is just a good starter list if you like hip hop!!!!

Thanks for Reacting this song Guys!! As rappers, you guys know more about rap. RM is one of the best rappers in the music industry and he is so good about lyrics. His lyrics for BTS songs always touched us so deeply. Please react to rapline (RM,SUGA & JHOPE) Cypher 1-4. Acutally BTS rapline has quite a few good rap songs you may intetrested, like UGH, Ddang, OutroTear (my favorite). Thanks!!!💜

idk where you keep getting that bts dont curse anymore cause they 100% do in group songs too just not typically the ones with music videos. those are the more mainstream songs pushed to radio and tv but they didnt stop cursing completely. they also write ALL their music regardless of its hip hop or pop.

Every BTS member has their own unique style whether it be rapping or singing. They all have their own songs that show who they truly are as artists. They all are so talented as individuals so when they are BTS, they are even more powerful. Check. out some of the Bts Rapline (RM, SUGA & J-HOPE) songs.

That's KIM NAM JOON Y'ALL. it's the Army's Genius Leader. The pillar of BTS

If you want to see some of the rap line song check out this DAENG UHG CYPHER 1-4 and their solo projects they have different style and they are all awsome🫰💜

7:14 ok so they didn't became PG as they started to rise to fame. They grew up, they became more mature, and less and less angry with haters and criticism. SUGA even dropped his 1st full album last year and he added a diss track with a drill beat called "HUH?!". Songs like Joke aren't as common anymore but every once in a while they drop some hard bars

RM AKA Rap Monster has toned down but still has extremely meaningful and introspective lyrics. You also need to listen to Haguem from Agust D(Suga) which is still as sharp and quite recent. They are different when they do their separate solo albums. When they are BTS they tend to be more PG

RM dropped Rap Monster & now RM stands for Real Me

Gotta check out the Raplines Cyphers 1-4 Ddaeng Tear Ugh You'll like each rappers flow in all. They are the best rapline

When I say K-pop would be nowhere near what it is today if it wasn't for RM I'm not joking... Also y'all should check out hip hop lover by BTS

RM wrote and produced this around 2015, when he released his mixtape as a clapback for people saying he doesn't rap fast as if rapping fast is the measure of being a rapper and a good one. He said this was written using stream of consciousness style of writing. He showed he could rap good and beat those others rappers (kpop idol rappers which he was often compared to esp in earlier days) even when using "nonsense" lyrics and saying it as joke. The rapline are edgier when they do their solo stuff. As a group, they have more wholesome vibe. May I suggest watching explanation vids of Bookish theories and DKDKTV to explain some content esp the Korean culture that is often in the group's lyrics.. RM is called the philosopher who raps in SK. If you can deep dive into their songs, they have philosophical, literary and cultural references in there. I suggest Blood, Sweat and Tears and Black Swan for their mid to later projects. If you wanna view their debut stuff, I suggest N.O., Danger, War of Hormones, No More Dreams, Look Here Borahae 💜

Please react to Cypher 3: Killer - Yet To Come in Busan. In this performance you all can see the 3 rappers of BTS: J-Hope, Suga and RM.

Solo rap songs that are explicit don't end up on BTS albums. Each member has his own solo projects; Joke is one of those and so is August D's stuff.

He was accused of not being able to rap fast, so he did this. No response after the Hit Me at the end😂💜 You guys need to check out the four cyphers!

Korea is FULL of talented rappers

REACT RM MONSTER

Rap is Rhthym And Poetry R.A.P. if you really have to add cursing you can end up with C.R.A.P. its not always necessary. 😂

Thanks for Reacting Guys💜

What I love about rappers in BTS is the they give us the non-PG raps on their mix-tapes or their solo albums. Then when we want to just enjoy mainstream music, they give us that too in their group releases. ARMY has the best of both worlds.

Love seeing RM getting love!!!!!

bts still cuss in their songs…them making a few pop songs ain’t gonna change that. Also what you said about rappers writing their own raps. You are 1,000% correct but because it’s not common for “rappers” in kpop to write their own music we feel the need to tell people all the time that bts write their own raps because it’s SO common for Korean rappers to call themselves a rapper but not write their stuff.

Please watch Taylor Mari's Introduction to BTS & The BTS rapline has a set of 4 Cyphers & 2 unofficial Cyphers called Ugh! & Ddaeng.

RM is such an amazing writer 💜

he used to wear zap-on shoes coz he can't tie his shoelaces when he was a teen but still put fear in the hearts of adult underground rappers in south korea lol.. that image of namjoon kept popping off in my head whenever he went off like this.. 😅

FUN FACT - RM REALLY SPEAKS ENGLISH F WELL

Rm Suga and jhope are the best rappers to be honest hands down. Yall gotta hear cypers 1 to 4 the go stupid crazy you think this is good wait till you see their cyphers itll blow your minds.

RM used to go by Runch Randa before becoming BTS, then once they debuted went by Rap Monster because it was a name given to him by his company. When the group gained popularity he changed it to RM in 2017 because he felt like Rap Monster didn't fit him or the music he makes any longer and because he felt it sounded weird and somewhat childish, not up to his standards. RM now stands for "Real Me", which reflects what he does with his music: show his real self.

You guys have to react Chyper 1-4 🔥🔥🔥

Many Koreans only speak Korglish, but RM speaks perfect English and is generally a genius.

You guys should react to “monster “ by rm it’s so good and shows even more of his talent

BTS DOPE MV NEXT PLEASEEE

RM's known for his wordplay and switchin b/w different languages.

So sad that “Rap Monster” is already locked up by himself. Now we only got “RM” but, yea we’ll take that . 😂

you guys should really check out Wildflower by RM!!

Another favs from RM is Do You and Monster. That damns good to listen at gym tho 😅

He gives me goosebumps. He's a fucking genius!

ele é um mito

Joke about this song in which is he calling out rappers who rap fast but in the end they talk nothing, he called out rappers who told him that he ain't real rapper since he is idol so he just gave back to them same energy. I would recommend reacting to DO YOU, Monster, Yun, Change pt.2

That last hit me hit hard AF! Cus it was sure silent AF after that 🙌

yeah I was waiting for this one.... nice can you react to the cyphers (1-4) please there are rap line songs and I think you will love it

just recommendation, - suga, rm, jhope (rap line of bts) chyper part 1,2,3 and 4. - bts - hiphop lover - rm - monster - suga/agust d - agust d - jhope - 1 verse thanks for the reaction guys 💜

You should definitely listen to wildflower that's RM supremacy

Rm and his response and nobody dare to answer him 😂

Rm is the best

I appreciate that you are listening to new music. Your comments around 7:15 about "cleaning" up as they became bigger is actually not true. This is a solo "mixtape" put out by RM while a member of BTS. This was a side project at the time. No member put out official solo projects (physical album/promotions) while BTS was working as a group, that has only come recently (late 2022) as they stopped group activites to fulfill their mandatory military service. But as far as having to clean up to become more popular, that is untrue. To do promotions for music of course it needs to be "clean" "over there" same as it would have to be for radio play in the US, or a TV performance. It also strikes me as funny that you think artists around the world can't have the same skills as "here". I have actually enjoyed your reactions, and I will close with (paraphrased) words from Suga - "If you listen to our music without predjudice, you'll find it to your liking".

my fave on RMs mixtape is THROW AWAY, its a gem!
