A lot of younger Kpop fans think Zico, Suga, and RM are the breakthrough underground rappers into Kpop but the OG was actually TOP, he used to be an underground battle MC
Fun fact the joker hair in Suicide Squad was actually inspired by T.O.P’s hairstyle and color (green) back in 2012! (The hairstylist of the movie posted a picture in ig with T.O.P photo in the tablet with other things that inspired some of the looks in the movie)
I really think he should be the face for Tom Ford. That man physically exudes class, but is so dorky on the inside. But really he’s got elegant taste. ❤️
T.O.P tends to give a first impression of badass and weird so it's ok when u calling him look like a villain. He actually played a villain in a Kdrama IRIS so I don't think VIPs will care at that, personally tho I think villains are dope as hell. And when u get to know T.O.P personality, he's... still weird af but also a very sweet guy. Thank u for the reaction and if u can, please do some more BIGBANG because they are a 12-years-old veteran group with lot of hit songs, including solos.
Uyen Do True! My first impression of TOP other than he is unbelievably handsome was that he seemed to be "rough, bad boy, and playa," but after I saw him on shows I found out that he was the opposite! He's very funny, weird, and outgoing! Although it's hard to pick a bias in Bigbang since I love them all and I am a "bias ho" when it comes to Bigbang, TOP is definitely unique. 😘 Ps: I was going to write how TOP is technically my bias right now, but then I started to think about how much I love the other members and wasn't able to since I just love them all too much! So, they're all my bias! 😝
TOP is 1st male idol in a korean group as a rapper who has a deep voice..he’s the best. He is being actor as well. Please watch more about: Bigbang: monster, blue etc GD solo Mv: Coup D’etat, One of Kind, Crayon etc Taeyang solo Mv: eye nose lips, i need a girl etc TOP & GD duo Bigbang feat 2ne1: lollipop And lots of their stage perform are the best perform ever.. Thankyou❤️
His flow is always sick. He doesn't even try, even his normal speaking voice sounds like he's rapping. He's that artist with no ego but doesn't kiss ass to CEOs or the big guys and they let him off. He doesn't play games, don't do power struggles, he's a man's man. He just lives and let live. Very cool with everyone.. in every sense of the word.
fun fact about this MV. its called doom dada, cuz its based on Dadaism, which is an art movement from the early 20th Century. it was a very random art style where there was just a bunch of random weird stuff that had deeper meanings just like this video
Thanks for pointing it out! I have noticed that people miss the meaning of this video. If people would actually watch the mv scenes could get the deeper meaning.
...Just a quick jump-in ^_^", the randomness is really more like "senselessness" than random, though I guess random can be senseless in its own way. The art movement really gained momentum postwar because it was also, at least in part, a form of protest in that it literally rejects the logic, reason, and aesthetics of society at the time.
The MV makes a lot more sense when you know his inspirations came from Salvador Dali and cult movies such as 2001: a space odyssey. TOP is really into art and it works it's way into a lot of his lyrics and his inspiration. He really likes art, wine and collecting chairs...lots and lots of chairs!
The fact that he has enough chairs for a temporary exhibition at a museum shows where his true love lies. I also love TOP and miss Big Bang. VIP forever.
blah blah 😂😂 you're not the only one who's thought of it. Imagine what he'd say to an audience of VIPs dressed as chairs, he'd probably either laugh his ass off or turn around and run away.
I was shocked when you mentioned the joker because TOP with green hair is one of the style inspiration for Jared Leto's Joker. His pic was with all the style inspiration the artist behind the joker used.
Uyen Do when I see all caps, I feel like I'm being yelled at or it's sarcastic. I should have posted the source in the first place. Lol instagram.com/p/BQ-zwViDdB8/?igshid=18jr4ao22gwfc
The music video features a bunch of references to artists, specific art pieces, and movies that were highly influential. We can see he dresses up as Salvador Dali (the song is literally called "Doom Dada" Dadaism is the surrealist art movement that Dali fronted). He references the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (which was known for it's backdrop style, with highly sharp and slanted edges and high contrast. It was said to be Tim Burton's inspiration for his style). He recreates the filming style of the Blair Witch Project with it's green nightvision and shakey footage which kicked off the whole found footage horror movie genre. He shows early forms of film devices such as the zoetrope and kinetoscope which are seen with all the running sketetons. He also recreates The Evolition of Man with the himself being the final example of man leading the line. The scene where he sits with a deer at his side is actually mirroring the painting behind which is "A deer" by Kim Whanki, who is a semi-abstract modern to post modern artist. In conclusion this video is TOP being a total art nerd and I love it.
I've always wondered if he would have taken some of it home or would have brought some pieces himself to some of his more artistic videos since I know he had a collection and would share a bit sometimes on his insta before the cleanse
Let's not forget our Trot Prince Daesung's "Look at me Gwingsun" and our never miss a wedding CEO Seungri-nim's "Strong Baby" 👏👏👏 (I don't think Bris will react to these but I couldn't leave them behind, I mean they're old but gold) And remember that Daesung's "Baby don't cry" and "Shut up" exist...bless those vocals!!
Annonymous5411 True!! "Gotta talk to you " is a bop and his voice is so honey like and warm. In Last Dance, at the end, right before TOP, Taeyang's in front, but at the background you hear his voice, and is so perfectly fitting, he goes right with the melody, it gets me every time.
This MV is a combo of all of his fav movies and other things like the italian furniture featured. You've had the most positive reaction to the 'weirdness' of this video of the reactors i've watched - others give him the side-eye about it (though they still enjoy it).
Jennifer Holloway Idk which video it was exactly but they broke down all the art/design/ movie references in the mv on eat your kimchi's channel when the mv was still fresh.
TBH I wonder how many of the younger (younger than 20) youtubers even watch movies like Space Odyssey. They wouldn't get the references if the references weren't even popular in their age/time.
@Elderly Man - Space Odyssey came out in 1968, a lot of the references are even too old for TOPs generation, it just depends on where ppl's interests lay.
Jennifer Holloway I know the film's old but it was a lot more prevalent in everyday pop culture in the 90s and early 2000s than later. I remember watching commercials and tv shows that featured the film's titular soundtrack back in the 90s and today you rarely hear those opening notes anywhere. Stanley Kuberick's work was also a lot more popular back then compared to nowadays. Between adults in their early 20s and adults in their late 20s or 30s, a lot more adults in their late 20s and 30s would be familiar with Space Odyssey, and a lot more adults in their late 20s and 30s have actually seen the film compared to youtubers under 20. That's what I was saying.
TOP is the God of rap in Korea. He got a rare and precious combination of multitalented, incredibly handsome, sexy, deep husky voice, charismatic personality and halarious and pure heart.
Firstly trained himself as an Underground rapper (Tempo). Lose weight just to be part of YG. Been creative and unique. Thank you for appreciating TOP 😍😍😍😍 Please do reaction to Turn Up MV, Doom Dada Live at MAMA2015 and Hallelujah ft. GD and Taeyang
LOL, you're not alone in being drawn to him, and definitely not alone in your occasional inability to explain why. XD Tbh, I wasn't even expecting it. I totally expected myself to bias Daesung just from the way my sister explained the members to me, but something about TOP's personality, his passion, and love for the arts really leaks out in everything he does? And the "weirdness" totally sucked me straight in. I love his unique outlook on life, but also him being so openly human on his struggles (and being a total dork). He's constantly laughed at by the others because despite being the oldest, he's the most sensitive member, and... maybe this ruins your image of him - but he's always the one who cries the most easily - at least, when it comes to his family and his members. He cried on stage when everyone brought out a birthday cake for him during their last GIANT world tour in 2015, and you can always expect mama!Taeyang to be the one wiping his tears and comforting him. LOL Seriously though, his flow is SICK. Even early in his career. I'd recommend my favorite oldie but goodie anytime, anywhere: th-cam.com/video/DywVfRiPe4g/w-d-xo.html It's the live of his second solo song from 2007 in the remix he'd done by 2009, but 2010 contains an extra twist that I think is worth sharing. It's slower to start with, but suddenly hits its stride and just FLIES. The song itself is called Act Like Nothing's Wrong and was dedicated to an ex-girlfriend. Of note, TOP used to be an underground rapper named TEMPO in Korea, and there's two or three songs that can be found on youtube if you're interested. He did a cover of Obie Trice's Snitch as... I think - part of his audition to YG? At least, he performed a part of it for BB's survival documentary. th-cam.com/video/ejNtb6XVHwE/w-d-xo.html Finally, sorry for the long comment! Other people have already commented about the meaning behind the seemingly nonsensical MV (which he helped create btw so yes... I think it's meant to be hard to look away from... LOL - he was hypnotizing the audience in every sense of the word) and the funniness of the Joker comparison... (See someone's linked Instagram link for the explanation). I hope you also check out the Zutter MV as well! And some of their other stuff - it's almost endless with how long they've been active. :)
I wish he watched the live performances of this song ....MV is one thing but for me BigBang live takes their songs to a whole new level compared to the MVs
Lol, of course T.O.P's going to stand out. He's the visual of the group, but also incredibly skilled. And that baby is SO fucking nostalgic, it's been too long since I've watched this.
Yes T.O.P has managed to become my ultimate bias for Big Bang, there is just something about him that stands out for me. His voice is just to die for and his flow is on another level ❤😈
TOP was my ever first bias in kpop before I knew was kpop was lol! When I realized in a band, it was automatic that he was my bias . I thought he would be the most standout in the band but then more people talked about gdragon and I like GD but TOP is just ITTTTT!!! Like look at him everything is perfect
Stevie Carr Ya! I probably have that problem since Bigbang is the group that got me into kpop and they're still my ultimate bias group! They also all have awesome personalities and are all different from each other! 😘 As for BTS, RM is technically my bias, but Jin and Jhope are creeping!😂
When I started getting into Kpop 2015, BigBang were the first to catch my attention. Out of all the members that I love soooo much, Mr. T.O.P. Was the first I love and still love till this day!!!! He is the best in my eyes!!! I understand GD is such an amazing soul especially when it comes to music!!! They all work sooo hard and I will forever be a V.I.P! 💕👑
BigBang has a distinct character. You can view it from each of your music mv. Make people like and can live for a long time. The difference is perfect.They have all music mv. If you just want to know more.
FINALLY MORE BIGBANG!!! YES! Bro, you should hear him perform this live. He's POWERFUL. Please react to more BIGBANG - including older songs, please!!!
HangulHeroine it's not really ironic if you know the lyrics, he's telling listeners not to worry because he's gonna bless us with the real thing, or something like that.
OMG FINALLY!!!! i've been waiting for you to react to this ! now you know why we love Big Bang so much especially T.O.P! i knew you'd love this Song and MV!
Well, let me start by saying TOP was a film studies student and the MV is filled w movie references (can't remember what the giant baby head is from, but there are scenes from The Good, the Bad and the Weird, a Korean movie that I really enjoyed. A range of other cult classic films, too). It's also full of art references, including the title: Salvador Dali was the 'father' of dadaism, which was a movement that specifically challenged the accepted aesthetics of art (the lyrics are also about this). The mustache he sports at the end is in the style of Dali. Also, he is related to the artist operating the Whanki Foundation, credited at about 1:40. He also mentions the artist Basquiat in the lyrics. (These are only a few examples.) TOP, himself, is an actor. He has been in maybe 1/2 a dozen films. 71: Into the Fire (about student soldiers in the Korean War) made me blubber for half the film; it was incredible. Also, The Commitment and Tazza: The Hidden Card. He plays an assassin in Iris: the Movie. Cold, man. Personally, I'd like to see him play a vampire. I will also say, the power of TOP's eyes should not be underestimated. When he performed this in concert, it absolutely brought the house down. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
I agree... TOP is not the good guy, he definitly is the bad guy. And I like it! Haha Big Bang is so funny, but each member has a different personallity and style. When I saw Big Bang for the first time, twelve years ago, I became a fan and it was when I became a kpop fan. They're the kings of kpop and TOP is amazing!
I'm black and my children are mixed. We don't speak Korean (but my youngest is learning). I was told over the weekend by my youngest, "I finally successfully got through the rap in Doom Dada!" LOL! I was like, "You mean the fast part?" Mikey goes, "Yep!" Wow!
I love TOP so much. Not only can he rap, he’s also an amazing vocalist. Have you heard/watched IF YOU? It’s live and very emotional. Man the Bigbang boys sure can sing.
I'm sorry BUT BTS CAN'T EVEN COMPETE AGAINST TOP. Some understood it wrong so lemme explain: I wasn't hating on BTS, I was just saying that comparing them is just BS because we know TOP is more experienced than them.
@@oppaimelol5491 he is not being toxic he is saying people think suga , rapmon, zico etc are the underground rapper when top is the real one ( By a army )
People bring up bts randomly for no reason even if it's not about them, but when some of us talk about them we get the blame for talking about bts in unrelated things. It seems talking about bts in an unrelated video/post to hate on them is okay but it's not okay for armys to talk good about them.
Here is a thought! You could react to some BIGBANG collabs, like G-DRAGON ft Missy Elliott "Niliria", maybe the brand new K-391 ft Alan Walker, Julie Bergan and Seungri "Ignite" or Taeyang ft Tablo "Eyes, Nose, Lips", you could listen to Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt" ft G-Dragon and T.O.P version, also Skrillex ft G-DRAGON and CL "Dirt Vibe" and one of my favorites Baauer ft M.I.A and G-DRAGON "Temple"...for starters😅😅 (I'm sorry if it's to much, but that have more than a decade worth of music, don't blame me hehehe)
RegEXmuslima Yes! For his album Coup d'etat in 2013, and then he made a live performance with Missy in L.A KCon the same year, check it out! Is on BIGBANG YT page "Niliria"
top for me has always stood out as well. he's kind of odd but in the best possible way, as a vip I of course adore every member but top has to be my bias. his flow, his charisma, his stage presence is beyond anything. he is walking, breathing art. His unique distinctive character really makes it stand out from the rest, I don't just mean the rest of bigbang, I mean the rest in the industry.
Hey BrisxLife! The video shows the "evolution of music" through the exploration, creativity, and freedom. There's a sequence where they're walking in chains, and you can see they are chained down in the stances of the "evolution of man" sequence, becoming progressively into an artist with only chains to his feet which im thinking represent his past and not forgetting where it all started. In the beginning, TOP is the primate and they find the skeleton of the explorer (the TOP with the mustache and weird ugly crybaby), and the giant microphone is with it. Like when cavemen 'discovered fire', I think that's what this sequence was meant for in the evolution of music. It sparked the beginning of everything, so kind of a gift from god (is TOP rap god lmao?!?!?!) But it seems to me that primate TOP is the weird ugly crybaby. This is because when it shows them walking, the big ugly crybaby has primate feet. Explorer TOP is dragging this baby around, being different and exploring new things, while the baby tries to complain and stop him with that shit face of his. What i'm thinking is that maybe because the baby didn't accept the evolution of the music, he did not evolve and simply grew into the same old primate as the rest of them, and forgot about his old acquaintance Explorer TOP as time went on, but when he found the microphone, it all came back to him (the dilating pupils shot) and he went on to lead the rest of the primates into a musical r[evolution]. Circle of life kinda video lol! XD
Right! A lot of the Big Bang's solo projects have this amazing imagery that can be passed off as psychotic eclectic blurs. But when you pay attention to the details and the stories they tell through that imagery, the message is always amazing! :)
clicked so fast! I feel like you would be a hardcore V.I.P ...like every song they do I can think of you would absolutely love. plus they are the ultimate combination of weird and cool. Like they're SO weird, but are probablly the only 5 people on the planet with enough swag to completely pull it off and make it so weird its badass
I'm ARMY first and foremost too! :D but Big Bang is undeniable and I tink Bris especially would really like Big Bang if he wanted to get more into the,
lelmDR.WHO? I am a vip. From his previous reaction, he really like Bigbang's music. Not denying that. I don't really mind that. Just saying that he obviously is a hardcore army judging from his reaction to Bts 😊
a lot of people only like him because of his visuals but he is actually a very sweet, shy and loving guy. he’s so weird and different and that is why we love him
My supreme bias. T.O.P. is and forever will be my utt bias. He's a good guy, cool, weird, caring, lovely guy. He raps like a machine gun, he composes and produce a lot of stuff, he works really hard, he can act, he can model and he is handsome af. His visuals are no joke. 😍 I feel so bad he has gone through so much this past months. But i fell like he's getting better. He was seen smiling and having fun at Taeyang's wedding and it made me so so so relieved. I hope when Big Bang finishes their mandatory military service, he can comeback with them and be as sucssesful as they are. He deserves it. And Big Bang deserves it too.
A lot of younger Kpop fans think Zico, Suga, and RM are the breakthrough underground rappers into Kpop but the OG was actually TOP, he used to be an underground battle MC
wait really? That's amazing
This needs to be pinned
Yes this is true. Take it from a fan since '09 😘😘😘
YEEEEEEEESS! T.O.P is a original underground artist
TEMPO 😍
T.o.P RAPS ABSOLUTELY NO JOKE
What did you think? 😂
VIP in the house Fantastic baby cuz he is the king
Of course!!!
VIP in the house Fantastic baby i watched the live im impress
He wants to show he no need the westcost tim 👍✌️
Fun fact the joker hair in Suicide Squad was actually inspired by T.O.P’s hairstyle and color (green) back in 2012! (The hairstylist of the movie posted a picture in ig with T.O.P photo in the tablet with other things that inspired some of the looks in the movie)

I sould be dead by now but pandemic happened. 🥺🥱

FUN FACT: at MAMA 2013, T.O.P actually bought that big ass mic and the baby right on stage. And when he did that fast rap tho, no joke.
Uyen Do he did even faster than the original
tallula____ ikr?! It was crazy, it was FIRE
Bianca Laabrug it's was amazing to hear him rapping faster, it was like the audio begin him was running after him krkrkr
he rapped faster at MAMA
tallula____ 😂 when I first watched that performance, my jaw fell to the floor and got goosebumps all over my body. This song live is EVERYTHING.
TOP stands out because he's so classy stylish. No one rocks a suit like he does.
I cant express how true this is
I really think he should be the face for Tom Ford. That man physically exudes class, but is so dorky on the inside. But really he’s got elegant taste. ❤️

Ahhh...I remember the times when people thought he had a crush on Park Bom (2ne1) because he was always teasing her. Lol.
allah bless yooo same 😂😂but you could be the softest and the toughest bad boy around at the same time and imo T.O.P is just that 😂😭
TOP is 1st male idol in a korean group as a rapper who has a deep voice..he’s the best. He is being actor as well.

And YES I had the SAME reaction as you to TOP and DOOM DADA💯💯

KS let's put emphasis on the chairs... for him....never enough chairs....I love T.O.P 😆 and miss BIGBANG 😢
The fact that he has enough chairs for a temporary exhibition at a museum shows where his true love lies. I also love TOP and miss Big Bang. VIP forever.
Lots and lots of SEXY chair.....😂
Never thought I wanted to be a chair so bad 😂 #chairsareVIPftTOP

Another fun fact: Kim Whanki is TOP's great-uncle 😊 They even look the same!

@@vpoppies seriously?? That's great
If you know TOP well enough then you'll know he has an obsession with "art". His music video is an example of that.
He sure is
I've always wondered if he would have taken some of it home or would have brought some pieces himself to some of his more artistic videos since I know he had a collection and would share a bit sometimes on his insta before the cleanse
YES! More Big Bang, G Dragon, Taeyang, and TOP!!
Jennifer Holloway and taemin and jonghyun

Between adults in their early 20s and adults in their late 20s or 30s, a lot more adults in their late 20s and 30s would be familiar with Space Odyssey, and a lot more adults in their late 20s and 30s have actually seen the film compared to youtubers under 20. That's what I was saying.
TOP is the God of rap in Korea. He got a rare and precious combination of multitalented, incredibly handsome, sexy, deep husky voice, charismatic personality and halarious and pure heart.

Same Brisx, same. 🙆💕
Firstly trained himself as an Underground rapper (Tempo). Lose weight just to be part of YG. Been creative and unique. Thank you for appreciating TOP 😍😍😍😍 Please do reaction to Turn Up MV, Doom Dada Live at MAMA2015 and Hallelujah ft. GD and Taeyang
Actually, h did it in MAMA 2013, MAMA 2015 was when BIGBANG comeback as a whole group.
Thanks for correcting me..😊 I actually rewatch it yeah I figure it was 2013
you're welcome
Lost 10kg in 10 days
Courtney Powell amazing
Funny how you said he reminds you if the Joker, they got inspired by TOP for the Joker's look in Suicide Squad! Yup!!
Where my VIP's at ?

LOL, you're not alone in being drawn to him, and definitely not alone in your occasional inability to explain why. XD Tbh, I wasn't even expecting it. I totally expected myself to bias Daesung just from the way my sister explained the members to me, but something about TOP's personality, his passion, and love for the arts really leaks out in everything he does? And the "weirdness" totally sucked me straight in. I love his unique outlook on life, but also him being so openly human on his struggles (and being a total dork). He's constantly laughed at by the others because despite being the oldest, he's the most sensitive member, and... maybe this ruins your image of him - but he's always the one who cries the most easily - at least, when it comes to his family and his members. He cried on stage when everyone brought out a birthday cake for him during their last GIANT world tour in 2015, and you can always expect mama!Taeyang to be the one wiping his tears and comforting him. LOL
Seriously though, his flow is SICK. Even early in his career. I'd recommend my favorite oldie but goodie anytime, anywhere: th-cam.com/video/DywVfRiPe4g/w-d-xo.html It's the live of his second solo song from 2007 in the remix he'd done by 2009, but 2010 contains an extra twist that I think is worth sharing. It's slower to start with, but suddenly hits its stride and just FLIES. The song itself is called Act Like Nothing's Wrong and was dedicated to an ex-girlfriend.
Of note, TOP used to be an underground rapper named TEMPO in Korea, and there's two or three songs that can be found on youtube if you're interested. He did a cover of Obie Trice's Snitch as... I think - part of his audition to YG? At least, he performed a part of it for BB's survival documentary. th-cam.com/video/ejNtb6XVHwE/w-d-xo.html
Finally, sorry for the long comment! Other people have already commented about the meaning behind the seemingly nonsensical MV (which he helped create btw so yes... I think it's meant to be hard to look away from... LOL - he was hypnotizing the audience in every sense of the word) and the funniness of the Joker comparison... (See someone's linked Instagram link for the explanation). I hope you also check out the Zutter MV as well! And some of their other stuff - it's almost endless with how long they've been active. :)
been requesting this for so long. You keep saying you like deep voice raps and we were all here going "TOP IS THE OG OF DEEP VOICE RAPS"
Flowsik lol
I wish he watched the live performances of this song ....MV is one thing but for me BigBang live takes their songs to a whole new level compared to the MVs
Lol, of course T.O.P's going to stand out. He's the visual of the group, but also incredibly skilled. And that baby is SO fucking nostalgic, it's been too long since I've watched this.
Yes T.O.P has managed to become my ultimate bias for Big Bang, there is just something about him that stands out for me. His voice is just to die for and his flow is on another level ❤😈
i'm so early, and for my ultimate bias 😩
top is amazing to say the least. so glad you reacted to this video! big bang never disappoints.
TOP was my ever first bias in kpop before I knew was kpop was lol! When I realized in a band, it was automatic that he was my bias . I thought he would be the most standout in the band but then more people talked about gdragon and I like GD but TOP is just ITTTTT!!! Like look at him everything is perfect
*T.O.P is my ultimate kpop bias and hes like 30 but he COULD GET IT!!! haha*
Same 😂😂
His flow, his classiness, his snak looks and of course his weirdass is still unparalled. Been in love with him since' 09
TOP is a total package 😍 from looks to talent. You're right, he is portraying more of a joker, see their BaeBae MV 😊😊
FYI: TOP is really like art, and his type of art is sth strange, weird and creepy. but also unique
This song of TOP is top tier and now he is thanos a villain in squid game s2
I love them all but GD&TOP are my faves 💜
same
Lucky you! You can pick a bias! I can't, they're all too good! If I pick a bias in Bigbang I became a "bias ho" since I love them all!💗
blah blah i have the cant pick a bias problem in BTS 😂💜💜💜
Stevie Carr Ya! I probably have that problem since Bigbang is the group that got me into kpop and they're still my ultimate bias group! They also all have awesome personalities and are all different from each other! 😘 As for BTS, RM is technically my bias, but Jin and Jhope are creeping!😂
blah blah ahaha I LOVE IT 😂 yeh my bias changes daily for BTS, but GD&TOP are a joint bias for me 😅
From underground MC rapper to a successful kpop artist. Where's my co-VIPs from 2008 are you all still there?
He's more like Riddler cause he's kindof a weirdo lolol
Banana Pie Girl haha yeah. That's why he's my bias. I like weirdos. 😁
Candice Nicole bahabhaha😂😂😂 righttt
You right lol
he is not a weido...that's called style n way of stealing attention😎
When I started getting into Kpop 2015, BigBang were the first to catch my attention. Out of all the members that I love soooo much, Mr. T.O.P. Was the first I love and still love till this day!!!! He is the best in my eyes!!! I understand GD is such an amazing soul especially when it comes to music!!! They all work sooo hard and I will forever be a V.I.P! 💕👑
BigBang has a distinct character. You can view it from each of your music mv. Make people like and can live for a long time. The difference is perfect.They have all music mv. If you just want to know more.
Big Bang walked, So
90% of kpop could run today.
GD and Top: Zutter + Taeyang: Ringa Linga
Shy Doll Yeah....i think he will love Ringa Linga
top is famous to be weird. try zutter, turn it up , gdragon and top high high etc but i still love top too ahahaha
FINALLY MORE BIGBANG!!! YES!
Bro, you should hear him perform this live. He's POWERFUL.
Please react to more BIGBANG - including older songs, please!!!
HangulHeroine it's not really ironic if you know the lyrics, he's telling listeners not to worry because he's gonna bless us with the real thing, or something like that.
My first Kpop song it was crazy when I saw it for first time I was scared like hell !!!!! I LOVE IT
do T.O.P Zutter with GD trust me...
Jabez sira he actually did react to it but it was the live version
Yaaassss 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Yess comeon!!!
Basquiat on the microphone
A rapper talking about high art
Wears suits
Lookin fine
Dancing nerdy
No one can match his flow
OMG FINALLY!!!! i've been waiting for you to react to this ! now you know why we love Big Bang so much especially T.O.P! i knew you'd love this Song and MV!
The live performance of this is LIT
Well, let me start by saying TOP was a film studies student and the MV is filled w movie references (can't remember what the giant baby head is from, but there are scenes from The Good, the Bad and the Weird, a Korean movie that I really enjoyed. A range of other cult classic films, too).
It's also full of art references, including the title: Salvador Dali was the 'father' of dadaism, which was a movement that specifically challenged the accepted aesthetics of art (the lyrics are also about this). The mustache he sports at the end is in the style of Dali. Also, he is related to the artist operating the Whanki Foundation, credited at about 1:40. He also mentions the artist Basquiat in the lyrics. (These are only a few examples.)
TOP, himself, is an actor. He has been in maybe 1/2 a dozen films. 71: Into the Fire (about student soldiers in the Korean War) made me blubber for half the film; it was incredible. Also, The Commitment and Tazza: The Hidden Card. He plays an assassin in Iris: the Movie. Cold, man. Personally, I'd like to see him play a vampire.
I will also say, the power of TOP's eyes should not be underestimated. When he performed this in concert, it absolutely brought the house down. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
4:00 he becoming a villain in squid game lol
I agree... TOP is not the good guy, he definitly is the bad guy. And I like it! Haha Big Bang is so funny, but each member has a different personallity and style. When I saw Big Bang for the first time, twelve years ago, I became a fan and it was when I became a kpop fan. They're the kings of kpop and TOP is amazing!
I miss TOP too. He is that evil genius. I love him. Please react to K.Will's "Please Don't" video! It's a classic.
T.O.P. Is my ultimate bias. I was VIP way before I was an ARMY. MULTI FANDOM HERE.
OnnaL Same here, there is room in my heart for both but TOP is my ultimate bias of all time!
I'm black and my children are mixed. We don't speak Korean (but my youngest is learning). I was told over the weekend by my youngest, "I finally successfully got through the rap in Doom Dada!" LOL! I was like, "You mean the fast part?" Mikey goes, "Yep!" Wow!
I love it " it's weird but I can't look away!" so me !!
I love TOP so much. Not only can he rap, he’s also an amazing vocalist. Have you heard/watched IF YOU? It’s live and very emotional. Man the Bigbang boys sure can sing.
REACT TO ZUTTER BY GD AND TOP
Edit: THE MUSIC VIDEO THIS TIME BRIS
LizQuartz i thought he already had?
He did but the live version
I want his reaction to the MV!!
Yeah, the mv really takes it to a whole new level
bunnyday i agree!!
T.O.P IS A KING OF RAP..AND HIS RAP NO JOKE..BIGBANG ALWAYS SAID NO LIP SYNC ON STAGE PERFORMANCE OR ON THE CONCERT..
Finally TOP
I'm sorry BUT BTS CAN'T EVEN COMPETE AGAINST TOP.
Some understood it wrong so lemme explain:
I wasn't hating on BTS, I was just saying that comparing them is just BS because we know TOP is more experienced than them.
They don't want to compete with him. They literally look up to him
They are just seniors and juniors
And also BTS respect their seniors dude.
Stop being toxic🤦♂️
@@oppaimelol5491 he is not being toxic he is saying people think suga , rapmon, zico etc are the underground rapper when top is the real one ( By a army )
@@apekshyachaudhary5583 I know but i'm just telling... sorry
People bring up bts randomly for no reason even if it's not about them, but when some of us talk about them we get the blame for talking about bts in unrelated things. It seems talking about bts in an unrelated video/post to hate on them is okay but it's not okay for armys to talk good about them.
“He reminds me of a villain.”
Well then you should see “Iris” then, so your dreams can come true. The best villain this side of Korea. Lol
BIG BANG KING OF KPOP YOUR IDOL'S IDOL 😎😎😎😎
Here is a thought! You could react to some BIGBANG collabs, like G-DRAGON ft Missy Elliott "Niliria", maybe the brand new K-391 ft Alan Walker, Julie Bergan and Seungri "Ignite" or Taeyang ft Tablo "Eyes, Nose, Lips", you could listen to Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt" ft G-Dragon and T.O.P version, also Skrillex ft G-DRAGON and CL "Dirt Vibe" and one of my favorites Baauer ft M.I.A and G-DRAGON "Temple"...for starters😅😅 (I'm sorry if it's to much, but that have more than a decade worth of music, don't blame me hehehe)
He did a sing with Missy? !
RegEXmuslima Yes! For his album Coup d'etat in 2013, and then he made a live performance with Missy in L.A KCon the same year, check it out! Is on BIGBANG YT page "Niliria"
YASSSS TEMPLE IS AMAZING
Love all of the songs you recommended 😉
MISSY?! Hold up!
The sick part is He rap faster live. Bigbang are just Legend
Taeyang - Wedding dress
T.O.P - Turn it up
GD - Coup d'etat
Seunri - Gotta talk to u
Daesung - look at me
I think Eminem is the American version of T.O.P and G-Dragon because they all have the natural talent to rap fast.
I have never clicked so fast. Gotta be here for the ultimate bias.
Binge watching bigbang video reactions and sometimes I wish Brix watch the live videos cause they are much sicker! Especially with Doom Dada!
He’s finally listening! More BigBang, More GDragon & TOP
HE SAID IT
remember T.O.P stands for The Official Pimp 🤣
Finally! TOP is one of the biggest rappers in kpop and Big Bang are the kings of kpop! I love TOP!
Just wanna say that Bobby was a big fan of TOP when he was a traine, TOP was his inspiration in Rap.
FINALLAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! Omg, makes me miss my boys so much RN 😭 More BB (GD, Taeyang, GTOP, hell all solos & oldies, lmao)
top for me has always stood out as well. he's kind of odd but in the best possible way, as a vip I of course adore every member but top has to be my bias. his flow, his charisma, his stage presence is beyond anything. he is walking, breathing art. His unique distinctive character really makes it stand out from the rest, I don't just mean the rest of bigbang, I mean the rest in the industry.
He is my bias tooo
Also mine
Hey BrisxLife! The video shows the "evolution of music" through the exploration, creativity, and freedom. There's a sequence where they're walking in chains, and you can see they are chained down in the stances of the "evolution of man" sequence, becoming progressively into an artist with only chains to his feet which im thinking represent his past and not forgetting where it all started.
In the beginning, TOP is the primate and they find the skeleton of the explorer (the TOP with the mustache and weird ugly crybaby), and the giant microphone is with it. Like when cavemen 'discovered fire', I think that's what this sequence was meant for in the evolution of music. It sparked the beginning of everything, so kind of a gift from god (is TOP rap god lmao?!?!?!)
But it seems to me that primate TOP is the weird ugly crybaby. This is because when it shows them walking, the big ugly crybaby has primate feet. Explorer TOP is dragging this baby around, being different and exploring new things, while the baby tries to complain and stop him with that shit face of his.
What i'm thinking is that maybe because the baby didn't accept the evolution of the music, he did not evolve and simply grew into the same old primate as the rest of them, and forgot about his old acquaintance Explorer TOP as time went on, but when he found the microphone, it all came back to him (the dilating pupils shot) and he went on to lead the rest of the primates into a musical r[evolution]. Circle of life kinda video lol! XD
2rueLIFE Wish you post can get lots of upvotes because people miss TOP’s point and think that it’s an mv with random, weird and crazy scenes.
Right! A lot of the Big Bang's solo projects have this amazing imagery that can be passed off as psychotic eclectic blurs. But when you pay attention to the details and the stories they tell through that imagery, the message is always amazing! :)
TOP is my first true love in KPOP. ♥️
BIG BANG - BAD BOY
TOP is actually the softest sweetest lil baby don’t let his music videos fool you lmao
Ugh all the love for T.O.P❤️❤️ him and G Dragons music video “zutter” is a must watch!
I think TOP even rapped faster than that when he performed it live 😅. Great review - we have the same reaction! 😅
Bris HAKUNA MATATA
Ellis Padilla 😂😂😂👍
Wow actually thats the perfect way to describe TOP: VILLAIN
clicked so fast! I feel like you would be a hardcore V.I.P ...like every song they do I can think of you would absolutely love. plus they are the ultimate combination of weird and cool. Like they're SO weird, but are probablly the only 5 people on the planet with enough swag to completely pull it off and make it so weird its badass
lelmDR.WHO? He like Bigbang but he stan Bts. It's obvious. No hard feelings though.
I'm ARMY first and foremost too! :D but Big Bang is undeniable and I tink Bris especially would really like Big Bang if he wanted to get more into the,
lelmDR.WHO? I am a vip. From his previous reaction, he really like Bigbang's music. Not denying that. I don't really mind that. Just saying that he obviously is a hardcore army judging from his reaction to Bts 😊
a lot of people only like him because of his visuals but he is actually a very sweet, shy and loving guy. he’s so weird and different and that is why we love him
My best Big Bang member!!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 THANK You for this!!!
T.O.P is one of my favorite rappers in life, his deep voice is beautiful
Me too!! True artist. Best rapper!
My supreme bias. T.O.P. is and forever will be my utt bias. He's a good guy, cool, weird, caring, lovely guy. He raps like a machine gun, he composes and produce a lot of stuff, he works really hard, he can act, he can model and he is handsome af. His visuals are no joke. 😍
I feel so bad he has gone through so much this past months. But i fell like he's getting better. He was seen smiling and having fun at Taeyang's wedding and it made me so so so relieved. I hope when Big Bang finishes their mandatory military service, he can comeback with them and be as sucssesful as they are. He deserves it. And Big Bang deserves it too.
King of kpop #BIGBANG
TOP 💋
