*DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the songs or videos being reacted to in this video. All credits to the companies that own them.
Also, none of us are PROFESSIONAL musicians. So if you come here for a strict breakdown/analysis of the music, you won’t be getting that. This is strictly my conservatory musician friends taking time in their schedule to watch kpop for fun, and throw in any musical comments that come into their mind! Also please do not complain about any "boring" reactions...some of the musicians have blank faces since they are concentrating so deeply on analyzing the music. On top of that, if you think that they aren't commenting enough on the music, it's because /nothing/ is happening IN the music to comment on. It may be a great song/bop/huge hit that they're listening to, but that does not mean there are actual complicated musical things happening that they'd be able to talk about.
HER will always be a classic kpop jam I will always listen to
daegu panda soo true 😍😍
I can't spend a week without listening to Her.
BOPs all time. Like you just cannot ignore HER. I'm in love with them since their debut era, all their songs are bops
daegu panda I wouldn't call it "classic", but yeah, I get your point. Even though I might be in the "My jam is Nilliri Mambo" team.
TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN
The "Nillili Mambo" song and MV were inspired partially by Vietnamese music (also what you hear in the beginning, before the song starts), partially just a pirate aesthetic and partially by the anime One Piece (the boys are fans). It's all really just one big troll song that ended up being good, and we love it.
Yup. Because it's Block B, and Block B is the definition of weird.
THEY'RE ONE PIECE FANS? i knew ukwon was but not all of them omg do you have proof?
Amal I think they all are, definitely Zico and Kyung (they talked about it), and when they went to Japan (cant remember which era, I think Tell Them), they got stuck in an anime store because they were debating about buying OP figurines and a Chopper plushie.
I take it very seriously and I love it.
Isn't it filmed in Vietnam? I saw writing on the wall that looked Vietnamese.
Block B is one of the most unique kpop groups. I've always been drawn to them. They're not afraid to do their own thing and go totally crazy with their music and mvs. They're a really special group to me and I love them so much.
Zombii Pie i agree, especially nowdays it’s pretty hard to find kpop music like block b style (which i love!!)
And definitely one of the best live bands. Zico is for me the best idol composer ever.
I love their stuffs since debut.
yesss theyyy slayyy everything❤❤
Same i loved them from the first time i saw them❤️
And Block B is such a strong group. They've gone through so much with their old company and the fact they've remained as 7 and are still going strong for many years is amazing.
True
Yes i love this group
Yes, it was the same with BAP, them and Block B inspires me so much, people should appreciate them more
ouch
This hurts me now
Haha every time Zico's rap comes on everyone is shooketh
Zico is by far the best rapper in the K-pop scene
wish they would react to zico's solos
i love him so fucking much
Block B the coolest kidz on the block 😎
legit
i legit workout while listening to nillili mambo and Nalina lmao
Nalina is such an underrated bop and I still do the little gorilla movements to the song 😂
YASSSSSSSSSSSSs
Same bruh😂
SAME. And Zero for Conduct.
I also listen to a lot of the bangers from BigBang, GD and Taeyang, 4Minute, BTS, and BlackPink. 😂😂😂
K-pop is legit perfect for working out.
Block B is probably my favorite boy group. I love the last 2 songs they released "Yesterday" and "Shall We Dance". Top quality music every comeback.
Fake an intellectual
YES
[Lori is my DPR bias] lol. My bad
I agree. I love their latest releases than their old stuffs. But HER and Be The Light were still my jam and Tell Them is a good motivational song too! And my most favorite song from them is Toy :) it is my #1 song of 2016. Just sharing :)
Block B are the kings
wow..... didn't expected this. but Yes!! Block B!!!
BLOCK B CAME AND TOOK THEIR WIGS
유기현 -- hahahahahahah snitch it 😂👌
Nillili Mambo will always be one of my most memorable KPOP songs because it was their first release after their year hiatus when they debuted in 2011! They got into a very insanely stupid controversy that led to Zico shaving his head and the group members formally apologizing for their silly actions, which was completely uncalled for. When all the BBCs thought Block B would disband and everything would be over, they released Nillili Mambo and it was just such a great thing.
Kevin is me when i first listen to zico hahaha
Zico is a GENIUS!
Melissa Lois Buenafe Actually Kyung is a genius
AMOR NOCTIS they both are 💖
Melissa Lois Buenafe Yeah I guess :D
Block B is the type of group you looove because of how weird and unique their music and their style is.
or you will be weird out because they are so different.
Ahh I understand what the girl was saying about getting rid of the violins and brass but that's actually my favourite part of the song! (Also when he mentioned 'the whole group' when he was complimenting the rap I was so happy cause all of Block B's rapline are incredible and some of the best in Korea, Zico being the top sort of outshines Kyung and P.O sometimes, but they're all so incredible!!) I'm glad some of them liked it tho!!
yeah same I couldn't disagree with her more. i'm personally not a fan of trap music and i thought the instruments really made the song, i want more of this kind of style!
I love that he mentioned all the rappers and not just Zico! All the rappers in block b are really good
ItsEunHye saaame, noticed that as well!
Now I want them to react to Very Good and Jackpot... And maybe Bastarz
Stephie Kim they will react to bastarz, it's on the list.
Oh yeah! These two, please!!!

milksomecows love you. 😂
Yasss 😂😂
YESSS 😂
Omg yes XD
Nillili Mambo was so iconic when it came out because it was right after that huge scandal and all the fans spent 8 months pretty convinced that the group would break up and also have their individual personal and professional reputations forever. All that bombast to show that they were back and never changing their aggressive style.
A few years later
Shall we dace
Don't leave
Toy
홍지웅 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
yeaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Ok but Nillili Mambo is one of my favorite kpop songs/mvs of all time. And can we talk about how cool/badass Zico looks with his dreads and Marilyn Manson contact? Literally living for that look omggggg
Zombii Pie SAME
Block B's mv's never get old for me, especially Nillili Mambo they all looked badass
I don't know about you but bowl cut is best cut
SAME! it was one of the first kpop songs i heard and i still love it so much, i can never get tired of it
YESS OMG, every once in a while I just have to go back and watch it again. It's one of my all time faves. I miss Block B big time
I’ve been waiting for this reaction since your 5th episode ohmygha I’m so happy. Thank you, Umu.
I’m glad Fiona liked the “Do U Wanna B? Block B!” thing cause it’s one of the best kpop group intro, imo.
To Kevin, in case you’re interested, instrumental versions of some of their songs are released officially (like, not fan edits) so, um, give them a listen? Nillili Mambo is available, as well as HER’s.
It’s really hard being a Block B fan cause you could feel the threat of disbandment lurking somewhere. Especially now, with Zico’s SNS black out. We’ll be seven years in this April 15, and we’ve only had one full album.
Anyway, I hope you react to more Block B, as well as the member’s solo stuff and sub-unit stuff.
To kpop fans, please give Block B some love! Give their music videos a watch/listen, and you might find something you’ll like. There’s some (un)helpful guide videos here as well. Thanks for reading this far!
protracteer please dont.......
protracteer same here! Block b is my baos group and is the first group I ever got into
Interesting, never thought of disbandment in regards of Block B tho
Laura Adams I understand since Po said they were planning on making a big change in the next year
maybe they are preparing for their army duties (since most of them are in the right age to enter the army). but i hope that they will not disband because they are one of my favorite boy groups. :)
" When Block B does rap- "
" Oh Zico. When the whole group or just..."
" *Just the whole group* "
get that haters, Block B's rapline isn't just Zico. We have Kyung and Jihoon
Sweetcel S Block B has the best rap line. Period.
He meant it. Can see why. With dedicated rappers and fan of indie rap they know what theyre doing musically speaking....... Am 1 blessed BBC
i wish kyung got more credit, or, opportunities to show off his flow (personally i love his diction and flow the best).
the past few years has been good to him because of problematic men and his solos and collabs, but block b isn't just zico, you know?
that said after zico's left the group is unfortunate, but that was the truth until zico left right?
@@realist4418 Zico didn't leave Block B. He just left the company. He said it himself.
@@sweet7655 yes you're right, sorry. I meant the company. I still find it unfortunate, because zico's the leader and main producer for the group, right? kyung is more than capable of taking over, but I'm unsure as to how newer songs will be released.
Yaaaas Zico is probably my favorite rapper in kpop
Mostly because of how he plays with rhythm while rapping... It's so fascinating!
FINALLY
yEs i love how there was a huge contrast to show how versatile they are
Nilili Mambo was the song that made me first think "I should listen to more stuff from this group", it's one of my favorite songs, I love the symphonic instrumentals. I don't really listen to hip hop music but I think Zico is super talented - before Block B he was an up-and-coming underground rapper so some people were surprised that he debuted as a member of an idol group.
A couple fun facts about the title "Nilili Mambo" 1) nilili 닐리리 is an onomatopoeic word that mimics the sound of a wind instrument, and 2) there is an old song from the 1950's with the same title.
nillili mambo is literally a masterpiece the vocal line is constantly changing, the little adlibs and sound effects, the rapping of course, the use of orchestra ugh that song literally FUCKS! i almost wish they didn't watch the video so they wouldn't get distracted from how gorgeous the song is
Omg, I never clicked a video that fast XD (BBC here ^-^)
(pd: Great video! :3)
I know! This video just came out of nowhere and I have never been so happy 😂
Carlota Pérez same! Lol i was wait what? Block B?
BBC 💜
I have been waiting for a Block B reaction for like a year now lmao I'm so excited!!! I'm gonna thank you in advance for even reacting to them because I think I've commented far too many times asking for it lol, I don't even mind if they all hate them at least it's finally happened :")
I think they NEED to react to Zico's Anti.
omg yes pleasee
Gaby zico's Pride and prejudice too
Finally is block b time :) love ya
Oh man I always LOVE seeing people's reactions to Block B's stuff, especially the difference between pre and post company change. I would also have loved to see their reactions to Jackpot or Very Good. And also maybe the subunit BASTARZ.
YES BLOCK-B INDEED DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
o m g there are so manyyy amazing block b songs. i especially love the blooming period album with "toy" and "a few years later"
They need to see the Show Me The Money videos and performances. There are some amazing rap performances there and the music is typically composed by the judges.
i click like before finish watching
edit after watching:
kevin : talk too much about rapp and finally said "I'm a fan".. YASSSS DUDE!!! Yall must react more to ZIACOO!!
The day Kevin fell in love with Zico the genius rapper. 😍😍😍
How is the "left, right, left" thing copyright when it's a well known military thing??? Eminem didn't invent that lol
Cait B It was kinda true that they sounded like Eminem in their songs before 2013 as due to their previous company, Star Ent, the CEO of that company wanted to create a group that will be the next "korean Eminem group" hence most of their songs like Nalina or Nilli Mambo sounded like that. Times were hard under that company 🤧
To be honest, i just really miss Block B and B.A.P oh god my boys deserve better
THIS! KPOP NEED BIGBANG BLOCKB B.A.P comeback.
Show them BASTARZ
Jordan Russell Zero for Conduct
Make It Rain
Jordan Russell WIG
The only group with the better discography LMAO
God, yes. Zero for conduct is god tier.
Yessssssss
Block B has the best rap line in Kpop (in my opinion)
Shimmie shimmie chogiwa No doubt.
Don't Mess Up My Tempo agree!
I love their rapline 🥰🥰
yes
block b toy please xD
chenika my favee
toy and don't leave 🙏
Watching Hugo is like watching me when I first time heard Nillili Mambo damn
Block B's songs and music videos are always so fun
Thank you so much for reacting to Block B, they are one of my favorite groups! Their music never disappoints. Nothing about the songs feel out of place, it is amazing, you can see they really care about the music they release. Plus gotta say I never get bored of their songs, no matter how much I listen to them!
These guys would go crazy with Jackpot tbh, they would love it!! Also Be The Light, omg you need to react to these two!
Thank you for appreciating Block B, they are for me one of the most prominent groups on Korean music scene, maybe not as known internationally, but they are absolute talent
you guys should react to Block B - Shall We Dance and Block B - Don't Leave
stan block b
Yessss I love block b so much... Thank you for react to them
I like to think of Her as a classic Kpop song you can't sleep on it, and Nillili Mambo is just so unique! I will never get bored of them
BLOCK B YASSSSSSSS! FINALLY! Block B is LIT 🔥
UGH YES musically block b is my literal favourite group and this satisfied my entire life fr
Yess finally they got shooketh by zico’s rapping and block b ‘s uniqueness. Now i wanna see how they’d react to very good, or jackpot vs toy or yesterday.
자막존버.,, 합니다, ..♡
it would be fun if they reacted to zico's songs! he's probably my favorite korean solo artist and deserves a lot of praise.
My BBC HEART IS HAPPY 🐝
Edit: P.O, Zico, and Park Kyung are all talented rappers..I mean they all started underground rappers with Mino and Mino was supposed to debut with them but stuff happen towards the end and he didn’t debut with them
한글 자막이 시급하다!!!
You should do a ZICO episode!! I really love She's a Baby, I am You You are Me and Artist!!
I WAS WAITING FOR BLOCK B!!! OMG
'Her' is mean a woman and korean word '헐'. It sounds make her what interjuction, like 'wow'
I hope you guys can react to Block B 'Jackpot' and 'Very Good' ??? Cause I personally love both of the songs more 😆💕
Agreed, especially with Jackpot. It has that sort of inherently _fun_ vibe to it.
Im so happy you guys reacted to Block B 😭😭😭 nillili mambo was my first Block B song and Her era was my favourite like... I would love to see their reaction to Jackpot (especially the behind mv) or Toy because thats completely different to these two songs
BLOCK B OMG YESSSSSSS
It was funny when they mentioned listening to this song at the gym. Because. I have this song on my playlist for the gym. Makes the treadmill go faster. 👏🏻😁
More Block B reaction pleeeaaase ...
Just so you know blockb are so zany and underrated. Zico, in the interview part is actually saying Zico Zico nii..., they watch a lot anime so it comes from Love Live! Show and one of the girls who says Nico Nico nii meme... the BlockB is so artistic. They’re influenced by eminem and Big Bang but Zico like Drake and Jay-Z too. The Nilili Mambo song was made in the golden years so Trap wasn’t on the Korean Music radar just yet.
Hugo is me during Nillili Mambo and Kevin is me everytime Zico raps 💖
FREAKING FINALLY. been waiting for this for like 2 years man. Awesome. 😍
This is the very first kpop song i ever heard and I'm so glad tbh i would have never been this into it 5 years later if it was anything else lol
11:49 i thought peyton said "simsninmniminim bok choi" LOL
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
VERY GOOD AND YESTERDAY TOOO
SHOW THEM THE DUALITY OF BLOCK B
YES!!!! This made me so happy Block B is my bias group 😄😄😄
Nillili Mambo was my intro to them and to kpop in general and Her is my go to when I've had a bad day 💞💞💞💞💞
Shall we dance please... they will love it for sure
Omg yayyy!!! I hope you plan to have them react to Be the Light and Toy!!!
Maybe you should introduce them to K hip-hop. Zico does solo raps too yah know....Show them BeWhy, Dok2, Verbal Jint, E Sens and other Korean rappers. Also Zion T and Crush! Last of all, show them Sohyang and Gukkasten please!!!!!!
dean too! and dpr live
YES, BLOCK B!!
Thank you Umu for showing them Block B!
FINALLY BLOCK B!!! BBC WHERE YOU AT?!
I want to see them react to Zico's solo songs now! Like Boys and Girls, Bermuda Triangle, and Anti.
I miss so much Block B 💕🇧🇷
I watched Nilili Mambo many years ago and i just knew that they filmed the mv in my country when Umu said that lol
Kevin certified BBC
I tought you will choose Jackpot, cuz the changing beat is really unique. But this 2 song is amazing too 👍
Nillili Mambo was based in a dream, P.O (the guy with deep voice) had a dream of him and the boys being pirates, and they thought "oh let's make it happen" and that's how this mv was born. 🤣🤣
Zico is UNREAL. He's my absolute favorite rapper, and he's what got me into Block B. I'm really happy to hear you guys like his rap. Maybe they should check out his solo music someday.
This was so cool and your reactions were awesome! Love the vid! 💖❤️💖❤️👌😂
Stan Block B
Stan Talent
when your rapping game is that strong, you gotta you gotta have more of it man!
Have anyone requested Fanxy Child?
Sabilla ive been requesting since last year lol rip
BLOCK B

Why was the one guy *so* distressed over the fact that Kyung wasn't attempting to catch the chicken *the right way*
I just discovered Block B like a month ago and damn they are GOOD, the only group of this style that I like 👌
Perfect! Block B is one of the best groups♡.
Block B is one of the first group I've ever heard and I instantly fell in love, you indeed too! Zico is a genius and Block B deserve more recognition cause they're all really talented 🔥Edit: and I'm a BBC & Zicova if it wasn't obvious 😂
FINALLY you noticed Block B, one of the best korean groups!
What a wonderful birthday gift😍BLOCK B❤️
DUDE!!! I was looking for a reaction of this a while ago but you didn't have one and now you do!! Fuck yeah
Y'all should react to Jackpot and Very Good! Those are amazing songs and videos from them ;)
Show them Jackpot!!!
