To explain why RM made this song : So you probably know that RM and Suga received a lot of flak from the underground K-hip hop community when they signed with an Idol company. In addition to that, people would try and shade his rap skills, saying he had no skills and no flow. So he made this song as 'joke' to show off his flow and speed and also shade back on the criticism by pointing out that you can rap as fast as you want but if you're just saying nonsense then what's the point? Hence there's no hook, just bars after bars and some nonsense words like 'bibbidy bobbidy'. In short, RM GENIUS SONGWRITER OF THE CENTURY. His rap is not only skillful but extremely intelligent. Makes me wish I knew Korean to fully understand all the wordplay and references.
EXACTLY! The song is full of sarcasm. Only Koreans can understand all of his Wordplays. His lyric writing is UNMATCHED IN KPOP INDUSTRY! Yet people tell that he's not an amazing Rapper :(
@@redrose3576 well I agree with u, but he is an amazing singer and rapper! Army knows that! If haters still don't know him and his talent than they are the dumbest people alive in this planet! And yes, RM's pen is stronger then his haters dirty Tongues! ^^
True but don’t forget that in RM (the mixtape) there are also some slow songs too like adrift, voice or life, (just to say that the whole mixtape isn’t aggressive) but ye mono. is a chill masterpiece too
"Joke is a song whose lyrics were written in a stream of consciousness. That's why the title is called 'Joke' as well. Theres nothing hidden behind the lyrics. Its 500% for the auditory pleasure of rap songs. Since the other songs have messages or emotions placed into them, i felt that it was necessary to add in a refreshing song without any thoughts. I put in a lot of what i believe are "rap skills"." - RM's interview.
@@redrose3576 Sure it is but RM wouldnt say that is dedicated to haters. Kinda how Yoongi said he never targets anyone in his lyrics but if the people listening feel targeted thats their problem. It is true that the song was made mainly for auditory pleasure tho. Adding this from doolsetbangtans translation: "One particular line “이건 의미없는 말놀이 (This is a meaningless wordplay)” sums up the song pretty well. Apart from it being a message to haters (who believe they are the real rappers and ‘idol rappers’ are fake, in particular), the song is comprised of wordplays with a heavy presence of end rhymes and lines that are not necessarily connected through each other in terms of their meaning. The track really showcases his wordplay ability and the technical aspects of his rapping skills."
this track is full with wordplays that why it’s called JOKE and also there is many korean references. this song as i said full with wordplays that why the subtitles are full with mistakes, but you can’t blame the translator, Rm never did a simple track this man need to stop being this genius🙃. this song is pretty old which it released in 2015 at that time bts were still a small group they received a big amount of hates specially Rm bc he was an underground rapper and they were criticizing him for as they said betraying hip hop and saying he is not a rapper anymore bc of his decision joining bts. Rm replayed them with this track and “do you”. and as you see in the end he said HIT ME which is in rap used when two rappers compete each other, and when one of them finish he said to the other hit me like it’s your turn try to beat me or replay me💁🏻♀️.
Namjoon has mentioned before that his old self was really angry most of the time. He went through a lot of hardships as you may or may not know and his style has completely changed since then. He's said that he's a much more calmer person since he started figuring out who he is exactly. If you get to react to Mono (his newest mixtape) you'll see just how much he has changed since his first mixtape and Joke. That's also one of the reasons he changed his name. Because he doesn't really see himself as Rap Monster anymore, and that he's not that angry and negative anymore. He's now become a much more thoughtful and accepting human being that's why he's RM (which could be interpreted as Real Me)
I heard there were some songs that I hadn’t heard from the album in there so I’m waiting until I’ve heard them first!! I can’t wait to watch it though :)
@@MrSammyCam you must see and react BTS Festa map of the song 7... it's like run BTS...and BTS answer sub unit Jimin and V Can't wait for your reaction...
@@MrSammyCam You made the right choice, you could react to the subunit songs first (Friends, Respect and Jamais Vu) and then react to their little interviews and their karaoke video
Yeees It will be so great if he makes reactions to this masterpiece. This mixtape is probably one of my favorites bts's solo albums Everything about "mono" is art))

LISTEN TO MONO next!. Listen to CHANGE (Wale and RM). RM's music style has actually really evolved since then. You'll be surprised haha. His music is especially relevant right now. It heals and educates. Here's a list of recs - -'RM' (his first mixtape) -DO YOU MV (from 'RM') -MONO full album (most recent mixtape) (has 3 lyric videos) -WINTER FLOWER MV (Younha and RM) -WASTE IT ON ME MV (Steve Aoki, Jungkook and RM) -CHAMPION (Fall out boy and RM) -TRIVIA:LOVE (RM solo from LY:Answer [BTS album]) -ALL NIGHT (Juice Wrld, RM and Suga) -4 O'CLOCK (RM and V) -SEOUL TOWN ROAD (Lil Nas X and RM) and its GRAMMY performance! -FOOLS [Troye Sivan Cover] (Jungkook and RM)
I love the just live see people reaction to joke, because there's no chorus almost no instrumental just switch flow and the pure essence of RM doing rap beeing the actually Rap Monster
Let's not forget he did that before getting a surgery for his deviated septum(it gave him trouble in breathing) and he still did it THIS good. Imagine how fast he can rap and switch flows now oml.
The line before "bibidi babidi" says "you can only rhyme in three syllables", here RM is mocking the rappers that says they can rap fast but in fact they talk nonsense even if it's fast, it doesn't make them "rappers" in his sense, which I do agree with him. RM is pure genius!
It's incredible to see Rm's growth. One of my favourite songs is "do you" which has a similar vibe to this one, but I also love "Seoul" (you should definitely react, it's amazing) which is so chill and so dreamy. This man really does it alllll.
House of Cards please! React to RM’s (RM and mono) and J-Hope’s (Hope World) mixtapes! Check out Champion (Remix) by Fall Out Boy ft. RM and for giggles watch SAMPLE OF MY PASTA - A Bad Lip Reading of BTS
if you like this then plz check “do you” and also there’s “mono” which is Rm last mixtape and it’s a whole different style mono is very touchy and full with deep emotions. hope you will react to it soon🙏🏻💗💗
it amazes me at how much namjoon has matured its crazy i feel like he finally found himself and is at peace🥺 but i do kinda miss joon swearing and goin off it was indeed very sexc😔
This is from a translator called doolsetbangtan: "One particular line “이건 의미없는 말놀이 (This is a meaningless wordplay)” sums up the song pretty well. Apart from it being a message to haters (who believe they are the real rappers and ‘idol rappers’ are fake, in particular), the song is comprised of wordplays with a heavy presence of end rhymes and lines that are not necessarily connected through each other in terms of their meaning. The track really showcases his wordplay ability and the technical aspects of his rapping skills. In his 2015 interview with HIPHOPPLAYA, he said, “‘Joke’ is a song that I wrote the lyrics using stream of consciousness. That’s why the title is ‘Joke.’ There’s nothing hidden in the lyrics, and the song is 500% for the auditory pleasure. I felt a necessity of a song that refreshes the mood without any particular meaning since I’ve included messages and sentiments in other songs. I included what I think are the ‘skills’ of rapping.” Oh btw he changed his flow 14 times during this track
Please react to yoongi being the soft and caring man he is. Ik you see him mostly as a cold, serious and intimidating man but he also has a cute and soft side. That's why armys call him lil meow meow🐱
ah yes. namjoon. my bias. the guy who has the capability to absolutely murder haters in the most brutal rap and yet also cries over seeing tiny crabs at the beach
The way RM says "you can only rap three syllables" and then proceeds to spit three syllable words nonsense to get his point across, his mind, it amazes me all the time
Ok this list is mostly(actually all🤦🏻♀️) the rap line list idk why😭 BTW hope you notice this list and Please react to this: Rapline vocals - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rSKVjfBghI8.html #hoseokgoldenhyung (jhope'hiddenvocal) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CetnJhRxVGA.html Suga's deep voice vocal - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K3edDvFc2co.html My fav hidden good vocals😭 namjoonie vocal so guwd 📌"A video to make you fall in love with....." - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wDQyIcJZiBo.html [HoSeok/JHOPE] - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1R_mHtOt0e0.html [YoonGi/SUGA] - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o2lVJDXBpDQ.html [NamJoon/RM]
Funny you described his flow clinical, the MV is a little of that too as you can see lmao Plus it's not Hobi there, all of them were representing RM and in the end he escapes the mental institution as a prison guard type
Young and angry Rap Monster was something else for sure but I have to say, the more Namjoon grows and matures, he understands life so well and his philosophy expands over a wider spectrum and I prefer that
you need to react to mono he's most recent mixtape from 2018 it has 3 music videos (Seoul, forever rain and moonchild) the whole mixtape is so different to his past one it's more comforting and calm and beautiful it is extremely underrated in this fandom
Yesss! Finally Friends. It would be awesome if later you could watch a compilation of funny or the best moments of Vmin so you can really understand how deep that friendship is and how much they love each other. It would be awesome too if you could react to Hold me tight, 2!3! (Purple ocean project live performance) and Best of me
i also wanna point out this came out in 2015, this mixtape is one of my favorite works from him but joon has grown a lot since then. if you go through the songs, reading the lyrics, you’ll notice how hurt joonie was back then and this, like many other songs from “RM”, was basically him trying to prove himself as an artist (in the case of joke, he focused on showcasing his technical skills: flow, wordplay etc.) he’s always been a very talented musician! it’s great knowing he’s healed from at least some of the pain he was feeling at that time.
You should definitely check both his mix tapes.. They are so different but so good. Also I would recommend Change with Wale, full English rap.. Amazing rap I would say. And then Trivia:Love live version.
I'd love to see you reacting to "Trouble" by RM & Jin, you won't believe your ears 🤣 The lyrics are mad and totally different from what you'd expect from them 😁
Awww finallllyyyy!!!! His first mixtape RM is a little aggressive and his latest mixtape mono playlist is thought provoking. Hope you will react to the full mono playlist cos its gold ! Of course there are loads of other gems like Adrift, Life, Do You, Change tts worth having a listen too.
The beat is a sample from the amazing 'Run The Jewels' - they have released four albums and are beyond incredible 🔥🔥🔥 I'm so pleased you reacted to this - please, please, please react to RM's solo mixtape 'Mono'. It is so chill and is absolutely beautiful. Everytime I listen to it I find it so comforting especially if I'm having a tough time with my mental health. I can't recommend it highly enough 💜💜💜
That bibidi babidi bubidi babidi is supposed to be mocking rappers who use the same simple flow every time and can't rap other way haha.. when RM does it it here it sounds cool but imagine a whole song like that lol
