The rest of the songs on the Tap album are varied in style. Hope you check them out! Lots of good songs. Shalala has similar vibes to Tap but less catchy and more divisive. It’s the b-sides on both these albums that are gems in my opinion.
Thank you so much for checking out Taeyong! Taeyong is the leader, main rapper, main dancer, sub vocalist, center, visual, and face of the group for NCT. In other words, he's that guy. He also produces and choreographs and is a total fashionista. On top of that, he is a true artist and person of great kindness and character. YES YES YES! Please check out Shalala too. Something you should know about Taeyong is that he writes and composes ALL of his solo work, which is actually kind of rare in Kpop. He has so many great songs and experiments with a variety of genres, not just hiphop. I would love for you to check out the rest of the album. There is a TAP highlight medley that gives you a sample of the b-sides if you want to check that out, but I hope you'll listen to the whole songs too. Thanks!
Taeyong's title track always have this pretty boy swaggy cutiness & he always seems not serious about himself in title tracks, unlike his album side track, it's more emotional. Love your review!!
So, for his edgier rap style, now try "APE" from the same mini album (TAP). WuTang references and all. Shalala is fire, too, as people have said. Missy Elliott vibe--quirky funky. TY is very unique and courageous--loves to break the boundaries.
this song is commenting on the 'haters' - even though some people 'hate' him or even don't know who he is, they still spend time and effort to 'tap' (on a smartphone/tablet) with hate comments etc also, the MV is a parody of Japanese TV shows where the Japanese parents tells their kid(s) to go on errands for them - in the MV, Taeyong is on his first errand to buy dango (Japanese sticky rice dumpling balls served on a skewer with a sweet sauce) and trying different places coz they were sold out, got distracted at the arcade place, but eventually got back on track to go buy dango
OMG well said!! He has so many other solo stans haters throwing hate comments, I'm really glad that he has this TAP MV to kinda promote that he is confident & not serious abt all these mess!
Thank you for your reaction video! Please do reactions of the rest of the songs in TAP album. He writes all the songs himself and co-composed them as well, which is rare for an idol.
i am pretty sure that you will LOVE his song virtual insanity! it's like its name virtual insanity not only just visually but lyrically as well! virtual insanity is from his first mini album SHALALA but my favorite song on that album us 404 file not found
If you wanna hear him flexing more of his rap in the context of this mini album, you should check out "Ape", which is a more rap focused song in this album. Another interesting fact is that he composes the music and writes his own lyrics for every song of his mini albums. He is definitely one of the most unique rappers in the industry, you'll never mistaken his voice and his rap with anyone else.
So excited to see a reaction from you about Taeyong! He's quickly becoming a well-renowned k-pop rapper, and he's an amazing dancer as well. Definitely would like to see your reaction to his song Shalala, that's another amazing single that he made and it has a very unique rapping style that he has developed and mastered over the years.
Hi Anthony! If you like his vibe and rapping you might want to check out his song “Virtual Insanity” or “Ape” his rapping are heavier and I think it’s something you will really enjoyed. I hope you can check that out. 🙏🏼
Thanks for your thoughts on this one 👍 Shalala is also an interesting track. I like it, but it took a few listens for me to catch the vibe because it's got less of the conventional elements in it. Would be interested to see what you think of it.
Thanks for your reaction! Song’s soo catchy, Taeyong is so diverse when it comes to his solo stuff! I’m really curious what you would say on SHALALA .. song from the previous album and it has likee really neo sound! 💚
omg first of all thank u so much for this reaction, and yeah he is our leader and our pride, he my soloist that did the whole things by himself, from the writting of the songs to composing and he is rapping singing danceibg coreaghped many choreo, and he is the fashionista, he did all things by himself and we are so proud of him and yeah he is our MAIN RAPPER CENTER VISUAL LEADER OF NCT thanks for this reaction 4:30 and about what u said yeah he has his own way to rapping his flow is just amazing every one when listen him if its for the first time they like who he rapping and singing and his way to say the words are just so iconic as himself ❤
I just love how Anthoney at the end needed to put it out there again by saying "he is a pretty boy". This song is very TAEYONG like showing his personality very well. Him neing silly but still being the most NEO member of NCT. He always vibes to the songs since the first listen that are considered "weird". SHALALA is official solo debut song as well showcases his NEO side very well. The whole album is amazing. The only rap heavy song other than TAP is APE. For the other songs they are pretty like Moon Tour, Ups and Downs is as well rather pretty but he does talk about struggles. Actually hisnsong on the first album RUBY is about is dog whivh passed away. There even is a song that he myde a while back BLUE. Talking about the times he struggled due to rumours since pre debut. Plus he himself had alot of back problems :/ He even had an operation. So that was why I personally was surprised when he did bend but he still does choreos like Cherry Bomb so I shouldn't be surprised. As a TYONGF I recommend all his songs he has on Soundcloud, on his YT channel and his actual OFFICIAL albums. He is one of the MAIN Rappers in NCT with Mark. They are our 2 overall MAIN rappers in NCT.
I recommend searching RU-vid for Taeyong Ape then watch the live stage from his solo concert. You’ll recognize it because he’s wearing white pants and a silver mesh top. It is 🔥🔥🔥
I like the fact that u don't know his group, so this is really an honest reaction to Taeyong's work (he is also known as TY an abbreviation of his name) I like ur review, I hope u could review his B side on the TAP mini album Thank u so much for the review
Some more solo or collab stuff to check out: Ten - Paint Me Naked Mark - Child Jaehyun - Forever Lonely Ten and YangYang - Low Low Eric Nam - Congratulations
