It has been said when it comes to Stray Kids, expect the unexpected. Yes, they are essentially ‘boy band’. Yes, they are ‘kpop’. But their music said otherwise. Their composition, their lyricism, is not all typical pop. Nothing wrong with pop. But Stray Kids play with their music. A lot. Their flows, their compositions, their lyrics. They work as how and as they want to. It is interesting. Every time SKZ releases something, there is always that song that can shock you. Or a bunch of songs.
Tortoise and The Hare is another really good one that showcases their versatility/experimental sound. Its another you will or won't song, I personally like it cause I just enjoy weird, different stuff lol, but its a song they did to experiment, try out, do something different.
They don’t miss, guys. Like for real lol more please! 😂 - 3RACHA - Red Lights - FAM! (Korean version) - Case 143 - Easy - Charmer - TASTE - Superboard - DOMINO dance practice 👌🏼 - The Sound 🔥
It was divided into two parts, both the vocal line and rapper are all rapping here to show their versatility, the first part is taken in Korean and the other part in English, it kinda makes sense Felix, Chan and seungmin have the English parts, I mean they speak good english, Han speaks good as well but I guess he just decided to be part of Korean section since he is versatile, it's not their best but it definitely does well showing their versatility
for stray kids, especially for their deeper songs i feel like i always enjoy it a bit more when bangchan and felix have english lyrics because that’s their first language so i guess it feels a bit more personal
Funny you should mention Deadpool because Stray Kids did a cover of Black Pink with a Deadpool theme. And our dear Ryan Reynolds’s is a certified Stay and admires our leader Bang Chan! Stray Kids and Deadpool are like this 🤝.
This song is one of my favourites, I love how they use the music to amplify the meaning. It starts angry lyrically talking about trying to push forward and being hated on but they keep switching up the beat, changing track, persisting, changing languages and end the song claiming they never will stop. I feel like Stray Kids are a group where if you tell them they can't do something they will accomplish it anyway in the most unexpected way. They work so incredibly hard and constantly stretch their creativity. You can never 100% predict what they're going to come out with and I love that about them.
Tortoise and The Hare by SKZ is one of those genius songs that cannot be replicated by anyone else. I think you should react to that one next if you want a different vibe!
Skz lyrics in their bsides especially are really deep and amout of generse they have in their discography is really amazing like from ballads to even drill 😩🤌
They're at about 150 songs in the discography now (with a Japanese album dropping in a few days and at least two more albums coming this year, plus singles). There are dozens of non-hard songs to check out if you're interested! This is actually a huge portion of their music, but most people never look past the title tracks that are designed to be hard. A couple notes first: 1] Stray Kids releases a _lot_ of unofficial/side content through SKZ-Player/SKZ-Record on youtube (some of it now having recently -- FINALLY -- been released for official streaming on the SKZ-REPLAY album). I've included many of these, with the specific artist name(s) listed in parentheses. 2] There are a few 3RACHA tracks sprinkled in because SKZ and 3RACHA go hand-in-hand. Remember: 3RACHA are literally the people writing/composing/arranging SKZ's music. 3] Be warned that SKZ sometimes addresses some particularly heavy stuff. Most of the songs in this list are "safe," but the occasional one does include references to/inspiration from mental illness, suicidal ideation/attempts, bullying/violence, despair, etc. 4] Some of these are slow. Some are sweet. Some are fun/silly. Some have fairly significant beats. But they're all ones not generally included in the "OMG Stray Kids just makes noise music! It all sounds like God's Menu/Side Effects/Double Knot/Thunderous!" line of baseless, ignorant complaining. 5] This is not a complete list, just one I made for someone else and have saved and occasionally added to. So it actually would behoove you to get their complete discography/songlist and work your way through every song because _no one_ is going to succeed at recommending every one you should listen to unless they themselves just paste in the entire discography. SKZ doesn't make skippable songs. : ° 19 ° 24 to 25 ° 4419 ° 3108 (cover by Seungmin) ° 3rd Eye ° 42 (3RACHA) ° Airplane ° Alien (Han) ° Another Day ° Astronaut ° Awaken (um...ish) ° Awkward Silence ° B Me ° Behind the Light [aka Mixtape 2] (SKZ version of If There's a Shadow/Even a Shadow by 3RACHA) ° Blueprint ° Booster (kind of...ish, but probably more chill than My Side) ° Broken Compass (3RACHA) ° Broken Compass [aka Mixtape 4] (SKZ version) ° Call ° Can't Stop ° 'Cause I Like You [aka Because] (Changbin & Felix) ° Chill ° Chronosaurus ° Close (Han)(pt 1 of his trilogy) ° Close to You (Seungmin's second OST song) ° Congratulations (cover by Seungmin & Han) ° Connected (Chan) ° Consolation (cover by I.N) ° Deep End (Felix) ° Drive (Chan/Lee Know) ° Eunseoki (3RACHA) ° Event Horizon (cover by Seungmin) ° Ex ° FAM ° Fairytale ° For You [aka Mixtape 3] ° Get Cool ° Ghost (cover by Seungmin) ° Glow ° Gone Away ° Gone Days ° Grow Up ° HaPpY (Han)(pt 3 of his trilogy) ° Haven ° Hello Stranger ° Here Always (Seungmin's first OST song) ° Hero's Soup ° Hoodie Season [aka Mixtape 5] ° Hug Me (I.N) ° I Am You ° I Am You (ballad version -- definitely more chill than the original) ° i hate to admit (Chan) ° I See (Han/J.One in 3RACHA) ° ice.cream (Hyunjin) ° If It Was You (cover by I.N, aka Jeongin) ° If There's a Shadow/Even a Shadow (3RACHA) ° Insomnia ° Levanter ° Little Star [aka miss you] (Hyunjin) ° Limbo (Lee Know) ° Lonely St ° Love Again (cover by Seungmin) ° Love Untold (Hyunjin) ° LoveSTAY ° Maknae on Top (I.N/Changbin/Chan) ° M.I.A. ° Mixtape: Gone Days ° Mixtape: OH ° Mixtape: On Track ° Mixtape: Time Out ° My Side (um, kind of...ish) ° My Universe ° Neverending Story (I adore this song so much; also, I suggest a lyrics vid or the live performance because you'll be able to identify that all eight members are singing with their gorgeous vocals) ° N/S ° One Day ° Pacemaker (I mean, in comparison to some stuff) ° Phobia ° Piece [aka Piece of a Puzzle] (Changbin & Seungmin) ° Placebo [aka Mixtape 1] ° Question ° Red Lights ° Run (Han) ° Scars ° Secret Secret ° Silent Cry ° Slump ° Sorry, I Love You ° Star Lost ° Stars and Raindrops (Seungmin) ° Start (cover by Seungmin) ° Stay as You Are (cover by Seungmin) ° Stop ° Streetlight (Changbin) ° Sunshine ° Surfin' ° Taste ° The View ° There ° TMT (this has some of the fastest raps in their discography, but it's so chill that you don't even realize it) ° Up All Night (Chan/Changbin/Felix/Seungmin) ° Voices ° Volcano (Han) ° Waiting for Us ° Winter Falls ° Wish You Back (Han)(pt 2 of his trilogy) ° Wow (Danceracha) ° WOW (3RACHA) ° You Can Stay ° You Were Beautiful (cover by Seungmin) ° Young Wings [aka Spread My Wings] ° Your Eyes If you check any of these out, I hope you enjoy discovering the mind-boggling diversity of SKZ's body of music, despite their utterly untrue reputation for only making big, loud, bombastic songs.
This was a great reaction 😍😍I highly recommend their One take live sessions! if you want to hear some of their slower songs these really show their vocal flexibility. There's 3 so far "slump", "scars", and "oh, mixtape"
You should listen to "Secret secret", "Sorry, I love you", "The view" and "There" of SKZ - with the last one being from their newest japanese album. These are some of their softer songs! Other than that, I can also highly recommend "Deep end" by Felix (skz). It's such a beautiful song that shows his amazing vocal range. It's his first and only solo song :)
Also the song was supposed to represent being in a maze and that's why it was so all over the place. I absolutely love your reactions and I discovered you both when I was listening to Tom Macdonald. I always look forward to them. I enjoy how you don't just watch the videos, but you actually pause and discuss things. Thanks for being so genuine in your reactions. Have a good one.
Stray Kids are very versatile, they will always surprise you, especially with their B-sides, they have a lot of jewels!!! Try Neverending story, secret secret, scars/slump (first take), and Taste or Red lights for something more unexpected. Hope to see you react to one of those!!! 😉
You HAVE to check out their english versions! Theyre soooo good! Domino, Double Knot and Levanter! Levanter is one of their prettiest songs I suggest checking out both the Korean version and the english version! Their versatility is insane!
The big changes are because 1) it's meant to depict the disorientation of a maze, and 2) SKZ is well known as being an experimental group because they do things like this -- experiment with effects, flows, beats, and every other sonic element they can play with. Tortoise and the Hare is another of their most experimental pieces, but there's also stuff like Side Effects (psytrance) and My Side (extremely pronounced style changes between parts, as opposed to seamless fluidity). Even songs where they intentionally make things sound alien and removed -- like MIA and Any -- by cranking the autotune up to a million are demonstrations of their enjoyment in playing with sound.
ive only watched these guys stray kids reactions and this dude Eric always has the most ridiculously large glasses of whatever that is and no one ever talks about it
My favorite slow sentimental skz song is Secret Secret. The lyrics are really beautiful. If you'd like a similar song to this one but without the switchups I'd recommend Double Knot. It also has an english version that's really cool in my opinion (english ver also has a dance which is cool). They also recently dropped a new song for their japanese abum which is kinda rockish so if you like you could check that out! It doesn't have lyrics with the video tho.. Have fun on your stray kids journey!
Okay guys seems like you're ready for "the tortoise and the hare ".. This one is the most experimental their song and honestly listening it for the first time was definitely an EXPERIENCE hahaha
I LOVE how experimental SKZ are when it comes to writing songs. Maze of Memories 3rd Eye Tortoise and the Hare Cypher are just a few examples. I really enjoy their lyrics, their musicality, their willingness to go in directions that no one expects, even if the effort is not a hugely commercial success.
I recommend if you can just to listen to one of their albums fully to see the range. personally, I’d start with In Life or NoEasy as those were their first couple full length albums, so there’s a little something of everything. Also this song’s structure is suppose to be like a maze in reference of the title. It’s also much older and originated from a rap cypher
If you think this song is "Fun" you have to hear their song The Tortoise and the Hare!!! Pleeeeease! Or their song Muddy Water!! Neither have music videos but there are color coded lyrics
All eight rap in this to underline the fact that SKZ all rap. They flex all eight and their great vocals in other songs, again to drive home the "group of all-rounders" truth. The Korean section is sung by all eight, all of whom of course speak Korean. But the English section is sung by the two English-as-first-language Australians -- Chan/Chris and Felix -- as well as Seungmin, the most English-fluent Korean member. So it's not really a "their language and then English" thing, but more of an "everyone's language, and then the Australians and the honorary American [inside joke] go off" thing. The two Australians are native English speakers, and then of the six Korean members, one is basically fluent (Seungmin, the honorary American-style speaker), two are highly conversational in different ways (Han, with his Malay-British language background; and Hyunjin, the honorary third Aussie), and the other three are functional to varying degrees. There's a higher usage of English in SKZ songs than in most kpop, in part because their lyricas are being written by an English-speaking Australian alongside a conversational-English Korean and a functional-English Korean, both of whom have an ear for slang and bilingual wordplay. And the English in SKZ songs is also more natural and fluid than in most kpop songs, for this same reason -- 25% of the group are native English speakers. (Most fans know Felix basically didn't speak any Korean when he joined the company, but a lot of newer ones don't realize that Chan/Chris was also not fluent and basically spoke Konglish and struggled with speaking Korean.) Anyway, a quarter of them having English as their native language is also why the English versions of their songs don't sound as...iffy as sometimes happens with other groups trying English songs in kpop. They actually fully understand the language they're translating into, and they're doing it themselves -- wrote the Korean lyrics, interpreted them into English -- rather than relying on outside people. So they're able to preserve meanings, match translated phrasing into the existing rap flows, etc.
LOL English is native to Felix and Bang Chan. :D I really recommend the Tortoise and the Hare. I love it so much and it's quirky! Also, I recommend 3racha (the song) and Heyday by 3racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han of Stray Kids). They're a lot of fun.
Oh YAY! I always look forward to your Stray Kids videos! Yeah, Stray Kids have such a range of genres within their discography. They really enjoy experimenting with the kind of music they make. It's always a fun surprise as fans to see what new things they come up with.
Full circle.. after the CHING CHING Kyle said 4:17 "it makes me think of Deadpool"... And now, they did a music for his new movie and there it is!! And there is Chk Chk Boom
Really good reaction! You should definitely react to Muddy Water, 3RACHA, District 9 and Double Knot. There’s some songs from individual members I think you would like, such as I Got It by Han and Zone by 3RACHA (3RACHA is the producing unit within stray kids created by bang chan, changbin and Han pre-debut)
Thank you for checking this one out. I miss your reactions to SKZ. I hope you guys will soon check their pre-debut song Hellevator and their official debut song District 9!
I've recently discovered that these changes actually represent like the changes of flow when running through an actual maze, that's why is kinda all over the place
They are incredibly diverse and experimental with the music they make. If you want to see that side of them venture outside the title tracks and explore their b side tracks and their Skz-record releases on their youtube channel.
Hey, just found this, sorry for the late comment, but to me, this song sounds literal. You’re in a maze and every time you turn a corner, there’s a different sound, then you turn again and get back to a familiar path, until you turn again. It’s harsh, but haunting and beautiful.
Tortoise and the Hare is another wild ride of a rap track by them…it’s an experimental trip for sure! Also, love the Deadpool reference…Stray Kids (especially Bang Chan, the leader) love Deadpool too. Ryan Reynolds is actually a huge stray kids fan and the boys did a Deadpool themed performance for Kingdom Legendary Way. Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/bjdH1y9p8yg/w-d-xo.html
If you like Deadpool, or even if you don’t!, you should check out the Kingdom performance of God’s DuDuDu!!! Absolute fire! Combination of Gods Menu and BlackPink DuDuDu. Also, if you’re looking for some vocals, and a little bit different vibe, check out Scars first take. They do it live in the studio! So amazing!
You guys like Deadpool so here is some interesting info Ryan Raynolds is huge fan of skz him and Bangchan are basicly besties 😌 And since you love Blackpink too you should definitely check out Skz Kingdom (competition show) live performance. It's called Gods Du du du and it's remix of Gods Menu and Ddu du ddu du and it's Deadpool inspired. P.S. There are some rumors that Skz will somehow be involved in New Deadpool movie 🤞
Hey guys! I love your reactions! I’d like to suggest some songs from Stray Kids that have more Rock elements to them. Ones I HIGHLY reccommend: -Red Lights -Levanter -Taste -The Sound Bonus Reccommendations😅: -Battle Ground -Lonely St. -YAYAYA -Chronosaurus Thanks for sharing your Stray Kids journey!
You should really check out their Kingdom performances!! So amazing and it really shows their talent Another thing, also look at their dance practices!!
Speaking of Deadpool and Stray Kids... Please check out their live performance on Kingdom of God's Menu/Du Du Du BlackPink mashup with a Deadpool theme. If that doesn't convince you... The stage has a giant rice cooker and tank :D
If you guys want just English songs by skz, you should check out: Youtiful, Super Bowl (not the mv, the mv is in Japanese), DOMINO (English ver), Double knot (English ver), Levanter (English ver), Lose My Breath (just skz ver), SLUMP (English ver), TOP (English Ver). Some of the new songs: Runners, NIGHT (English ver) Falling up (English ver) or just one member of skz: Connected (Bang Chan), Deep end (Felix), Eternity (Bang Chan), Hey you (Hyunjin).
I like these “concept” songs, where the story and words define the music, similar to “the tortoise and the hare”. If you want to do something inspired by old school hip hop, you should do “Muddy Waters”. If you want some of their vulnerables ones “sorry, I love you” and “secret, secret” are really good. They have them as recorded live videos. But react soon to some of their newer stuff! “Case 143”, “Red lights” and the Maxident era stuff. Or just good old “Cheese” and “Easy”😊 just laying it out there…
Hello Eric and Kyle. I subscribed because of your Stray Kids reactions. I highly recommend y'all check out Stray Kids Kingdom performance of I'll be your man.
This is also a song that I don't listen to often. It's creative, different, and good, but not one I just casually listen to. But as others have said The tortoise and the hare is another experimental song. However, that song IS on my playlist. People either love it or hate it though. I'd be interested to see what you guys think!
Woohoo!!!! Love waking up and finding a new SKZ reaction! If you want different, I'd suggest "Tortoise and the Hare" "Side Effects" "3rd Eye" or by 3Racha (their production line) "HeyDay"
straykids never stick to one genre.. thats why they said they are mala flavour because you can taste they spicy, the hotness, the sweetness and everything in one song..
Yall love dead pool? Have you guys seen stray kids' performance on kingdom where they did a Mashup of their God's Menu and Black Pink's Dddu Dddu du? It's dead pool themed stage performance. It's 🔥
A couple of tracks that I think you might love, coming from completely different tacks, are "Sorry I Love You" (th-cam.com/video/AsBU3IUTHZw/w-d-xo.html), and throwing right back to their first album, "Awaken" (th-cam.com/video/Ts3H4H-3KXM/w-d-xo.html). The former may give Kyle some of what he was hankering for here regarding a change of pace... and I think he might like the latter for other reasons... 😜
These are songs that I feel have the most 'rock' sound to them. Some of them are b-sides so they won't have MV's and a lot of them are older. SKZ has never really had one specific sound so it's hard to narrow them down to one genre but I hope you like these! The Sound (MV) Brand new release Cheese (MV) Beware (also known as Grr) (MV) YAYAYA Awaken My Pace (MV) Slump Time Out (MV) Chronosaurus Here's a couple more that I didn't feel were truly what you were looking for but you might like, mostly songs that had guitar/rock elements. Domino Boxer (MV) Hellevator (Predebut MV) Voices (MV) Wolfgang Hello Stranger (MV) ROCK (MV ....Ironically not a rock song) Thank you so much for your reactions! I love watching people slowly become invested with SKZ.
For me those beat switches feels like maze too, maybe they're trying to represent it like that? Cuz, those switches comes constantly and unexpectedly, so it doesn't give u time to relax before other switchup which may feel uncomfortable, confusing and even frustrading for some people.(like they're in the maze) For me personally I love those switchups, they bring me so much joy👌+ here's a recommentation for you 🤗 now that u have listened maze of memories, you should definetly check skz other experimental track: the tortoise and the hare 😁! lastly thank you for the reaction & have a good day🤗 (english isn't my native language, but I hope u understand what am trying to tell😂)
If you want less hype more emotional with less switch ups check out the 3 Japanese first take songs...they're also live! If you want something more like this go 'tortoise and the hare' or 3rachas 'Hey Day' It doesn't matter to me what you watch from skz cause I seem to find none of their songs are skips, they're all great in their own way!
The have bunch of English songs too, that are English versions of their Korean songs, i recommend you check out first the originals and then English ones :"double knot", "domino", "slump", "levanter"

Thats why always say K-pop is not a genre it’s an industry. Whatever people think K-pop is, it isn’t lol.

If you are including 3RACHA and their Replay + Record songs. (No covers or collaborations.) That number is around 170... and about to go up. 🖤
@@DaddiesLittlePsycho OMG, if I included the whole 3RACHA discography too...yeah, my brain boggles at the ridiculous numbers!

Stray Kids are very versatile, they will always surprise you, especially with their B-sides, they have a lot of jewels!!! Try Neverending story, secret secret, scars/slump (first take), and Taste or Red lights for something more unexpected. Hope to see you react to one of those!!! 😉
I truly can't remember if you guys have reacted to it, but their "The Tortoise and The Hare" it definitely itches a part of your brain. 😅
You HAVE to check out their english versions! Theyre soooo good! Domino, Double Knot and Levanter! Levanter is one of their prettiest songs I suggest checking out both the Korean version and the english version! Their versatility is insane!
The big changes are because 1) it's meant to depict the disorientation of a maze, and 2) SKZ is well known as being an experimental group because they do things like this -- experiment with effects, flows, beats, and every other sonic element they can play with. Tortoise and the Hare is another of their most experimental pieces, but there's also stuff like Side Effects (psytrance) and My Side (extremely pronounced style changes between parts, as opposed to seamless fluidity). Even songs where they intentionally make things sound alien and removed -- like MIA and Any -- by cranking the autotune up to a million are demonstrations of their enjoyment in playing with sound.
ive only watched these guys stray kids reactions and this dude Eric always has the most ridiculously large glasses of whatever that is and no one ever talks about it
My favorite slow sentimental skz song is Secret Secret. The lyrics are really beautiful.
If you'd like a similar song to this one but without the switchups I'd recommend Double Knot. It also has an english version that's really cool in my opinion (english ver also has a dance which is cool).
They also recently dropped a new song for their japanese abum which is kinda rockish so if you like you could check that out! It doesn't have lyrics with the video tho..
Have fun on your stray kids journey!
Okay guys seems like you're ready for "the tortoise and the hare ".. This one is the most experimental their song and honestly listening it for the first time was definitely an EXPERIENCE hahaha
I LOVE how experimental SKZ are when it comes to writing songs.
Maze of Memories
3rd Eye
Tortoise and the Hare
Cypher
are just a few examples. I really enjoy their lyrics, their musicality, their willingness to go in directions that no one expects, even if the effort is not a hugely commercial success.
I recommend if you can just to listen to one of their albums fully to see the range. personally, I’d start with In Life or NoEasy as those were their first couple full length albums, so there’s a little something of everything. Also this song’s structure is suppose to be like a maze in reference of the title. It’s also much older and originated from a rap cypher
A few years later, Stray Kids now has an OST “Slash” in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie!
If you think this song is "Fun" you have to hear their song The Tortoise and the Hare!!! Pleeeeease! Or their song Muddy Water!! Neither have music videos but there are color coded lyrics
Love Muddy Waters 🔥
All eight rap in this to underline the fact that SKZ all rap. They flex all eight and their great vocals in other songs, again to drive home the "group of all-rounders" truth.
The Korean section is sung by all eight, all of whom of course speak Korean. But the English section is sung by the two English-as-first-language Australians -- Chan/Chris and Felix -- as well as Seungmin, the most English-fluent Korean member. So it's not really a "their language and then English" thing, but more of an "everyone's language, and then the Australians and the honorary American [inside joke] go off" thing. The two Australians are native English speakers, and then of the six Korean members, one is basically fluent (Seungmin, the honorary American-style speaker), two are highly conversational in different ways (Han, with his Malay-British language background; and Hyunjin, the honorary third Aussie), and the other three are functional to varying degrees. There's a higher usage of English in SKZ songs than in most kpop, in part because their lyricas are being written by an English-speaking Australian alongside a conversational-English Korean and a functional-English Korean, both of whom have an ear for slang and bilingual wordplay. And the English in SKZ songs is also more natural and fluid than in most kpop songs, for this same reason -- 25% of the group are native English speakers. (Most fans know Felix basically didn't speak any Korean when he joined the company, but a lot of newer ones don't realize that Chan/Chris was also not fluent and basically spoke Konglish and struggled with speaking Korean.)
Anyway, a quarter of them having English as their native language is also why the English versions of their songs don't sound as...iffy as sometimes happens with other groups trying English songs in kpop. They actually fully understand the language they're translating into, and they're doing it themselves -- wrote the Korean lyrics, interpreted them into English -- rather than relying on outside people. So they're able to preserve meanings, match translated phrasing into the existing rap flows, etc.
LOL English is native to Felix and Bang Chan. :D I really recommend the Tortoise and the Hare. I love it so much and it's quirky! Also, I recommend 3racha (the song) and Heyday by 3racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han of Stray Kids). They're a lot of fun.
Oh YAY! I always look forward to your Stray Kids videos! Yeah, Stray Kids have such a range of genres within their discography. They really enjoy experimenting with the kind of music they make. It's always a fun surprise as fans to see what new things they come up with.
Full circle.. after the CHING CHING Kyle said 4:17 "it makes me think of Deadpool"... And now, they did a music for his new movie and there it is!! And there is Chk Chk Boom
stray kids only has been in the industry for 5 years but they are one of the kpop bands with a very diverse genre with more than 40 genres
Really good reaction! You should definitely react to Muddy Water, 3RACHA, District 9 and Double Knot. There’s some songs from individual members I think you would like, such as I Got It by Han and Zone by 3RACHA (3RACHA is the producing unit within stray kids created by bang chan, changbin and Han pre-debut)
Thank you for checking this one out. I miss your reactions to SKZ.
I hope you guys will soon check their pre-debut song Hellevator and their official debut song District 9!
Stray Kids and Falling in Reverse are now my two top artists - I think you can see why :D
You should check out their live Kingdom performance of God’s D4. It is a mashup of God’s Menu and Blackpink’s D4. It is amazing and so much fun.
yeah!!!Can you also react SIDE EFFECT?? Please
the changes were made to simulate the sensation of being lost inside a maze, this song is a masterpiece
This is now my favorite JAM......EVER
I've recently discovered that these changes actually represent like the changes of flow when running through an actual maze, that's why is kinda all over the place
"the tortoise and the hare", "3rd eye" and "muddy watter"... my favs for you :)
They are incredibly diverse and experimental with the music they make. If you want to see that side of them venture outside the title tracks and explore their b side tracks and their Skz-record releases on their youtube channel.
3Racha should be your next reaction!! You guys are gonna love it!
Hey, just found this, sorry for the late comment, but to me, this song sounds literal. You’re in a maze and every time you turn a corner, there’s a different sound, then you turn again and get back to a familiar path, until you turn again. It’s harsh, but haunting and beautiful.
HEY! i recommend you to react to "The tortoise and the hare" - "We go" - "3racha" - "HeyDay" - "Muddy Water" - "I got it (Han Jisung solo)"
Love you guys... Must check out Stray Kids 3racha "3RACHA" lyric video and Stray Kids "Taste" by danceracha lyric video... FIREEEEEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would love to see you guys react to “the tortoise and the hare” by stray kids as well
i love them so much!!!
Something with a similar vibe, Muddy Water
Something entirely different, for Kyle in particular, a new on their Japanese album Battle Ground!
Tortoise and the Hare is another wild ride of a rap track by them…it’s an experimental trip for sure! Also, love the Deadpool reference…Stray Kids (especially Bang Chan, the leader) love Deadpool too. Ryan Reynolds is actually a huge stray kids fan and the boys did a Deadpool themed performance for Kingdom Legendary Way. Here’s a link:
th-cam.com/video/bjdH1y9p8yg/w-d-xo.html
If you like Deadpool, or even if you don’t!, you should check out the Kingdom performance of God’s DuDuDu!!! Absolute fire! Combination of Gods Menu and BlackPink DuDuDu. Also, if you’re looking for some vocals, and a little bit different vibe, check out Scars first take. They do it live in the studio! So amazing!
You guys like Deadpool so here is some interesting info
Ryan Raynolds is huge fan of skz him and Bangchan are basicly besties 😌
And since you love Blackpink too you should definitely check out Skz Kingdom (competition show) live performance. It's called Gods Du du du and it's remix of Gods Menu and Ddu du ddu du and it's Deadpool inspired.
P.S. There are some rumors that Skz will somehow be involved in New Deadpool movie 🤞
Stray Kids rapline is just UNF*CKWITHABLE.
I reccomend their new song Battle Ground on their Japanese album, its fire,they also have anjther new album coming out soon too 😊
Hey guys! I love your reactions! I’d like to suggest some songs from Stray Kids that have more Rock elements to them.
Ones I HIGHLY reccommend:
-Red Lights
-Levanter
-Taste
-The Sound
Bonus Reccommendations😅:
-Battle Ground
-Lonely St.
-YAYAYA
-Chronosaurus
Thanks for sharing your Stray Kids journey!
You should check out "Muddy Water" and Hellelvator
I think something that’s important to remember concerning all kpop groups is that kpop is an industry, not a genre.
this makes me so happy. cant wait for you to react to more. they just dropped their Japanese track “The Sound” its u h an amazing track and M/V
You should really check out their Kingdom performances!! So amazing and it really shows their talent
Another thing, also look at their dance practices!!
Stray kids it's not k pop but a new genre music for this world
Stray Kids are fire!!
Appreciate your details reaction 😊
Lonely st. By stray kids Is a really really good one made me very emotional first checking it out
Stray Kids is a dope group !
Check out their new Japanese releases “The Sound” and “There”
Bang Chan and Felix are from Australia, so they can speak English fluently
I would literally die of happiness if you guys reacted to The Sound by Stray Kids next (there are no subtitles!! It's on their Japanese album)
Speaking of Deadpool and Stray Kids... Please check out their live performance on Kingdom of God's Menu/Du Du Du BlackPink mashup with a Deadpool theme. If that doesn't convince you... The stage has a giant rice cooker and tank :D
If you guys want just English songs by skz, you should check out: Youtiful, Super Bowl (not the mv, the mv is in Japanese), DOMINO (English ver), Double knot (English ver), Levanter (English ver), Lose My Breath (just skz ver), SLUMP (English ver), TOP (English Ver). Some of the new songs: Runners, NIGHT (English ver) Falling up (English ver) or just one member of skz: Connected (Bang Chan), Deep end (Felix), Eternity (Bang Chan), Hey you (Hyunjin).
I like these “concept” songs, where the story and words define the music, similar to “the tortoise and the hare”.
If you want to do something inspired by old school hip hop, you should do “Muddy Waters”.
If you want some of their vulnerables ones “sorry, I love you” and “secret, secret” are really good. They have them as recorded live videos.
But react soon to some of their newer stuff! “Case 143”, “Red lights” and the Maxident era stuff. Or just good old “Cheese” and “Easy”😊 just laying it out there…
Would love for you to react to muddy water or tortoise and the hare even heyday would be awesome love your stuff!!
I just want yo see you react to "The tortoise and the hare" at this point :D Its gonna be legendary!
Hello Eric and Kyle. I subscribed because of your Stray Kids reactions. I highly recommend y'all check out Stray Kids Kingdom performance of I'll be your man.
You should do an introduction to Stray Kids, you will learn a lot from them and get to appreciate the members more as well
If you want a song from them that is fully English. There’s Super Bowl.
You guys should listen to their song 3RACHA… it’s by 3 of the members who are also the main producers of stray kids!!
I saw T. Profitt just announced he's uploading a video on how he made HOPE would be dope to see ya'll react to it
This is also a song that I don't listen to often. It's creative, different, and good, but not one I just casually listen to. But as others have said The tortoise and the hare is another experimental song. However, that song IS on my playlist. People either love it or hate it though. I'd be interested to see what you guys think!
Woohoo!!!! Love waking up and finding a new SKZ reaction! If you want different, I'd suggest "Tortoise and the Hare" "Side Effects" "3rd Eye" or by 3Racha (their production line) "HeyDay"
Tortoise and Hare next. Be sure to blow your mind.
Tremenda letra con un sonido poderoso.. Adoro que todos rapeen en esta canción.
Saludos desde Chile!
Stray kids are very talented boys 👍! Thanks for your react ✌️
straykids never stick to one genre.. thats why they said they are mala flavour because you can taste they spicy, the hotness, the sweetness and everything in one song..
Felix and bang Chan are from Australia that's why they speak English so fluent
If you liking freeze from stray kids, i recommend you to listen to their song called Side Effect.
Yall love dead pool? Have you guys seen stray kids' performance on kingdom where they did a Mashup of their God's Menu and Black Pink's Dddu Dddu du? It's dead pool themed stage performance. It's 🔥
Would love to see a reaction to Slump one take live by stray kids :D
You should react to the lyric video for Slash - it’s on the OST for Deadpool & Wolverine and I think it’s one of their best songs of all time.
A couple of tracks that I think you might love, coming from completely different tacks, are "Sorry I Love You" (th-cam.com/video/AsBU3IUTHZw/w-d-xo.html), and throwing right back to their first album, "Awaken" (th-cam.com/video/Ts3H4H-3KXM/w-d-xo.html).
The former may give Kyle some of what he was hankering for here regarding a change of pace... and I think he might like the latter for other reasons... 😜
These are songs that I feel have the most 'rock' sound to them. Some of them are b-sides so they won't have MV's and a lot of them are older. SKZ has never really had one specific sound so it's hard to narrow them down to one genre but I hope you like these!
The Sound (MV) Brand new release
Cheese (MV)
Beware (also known as Grr) (MV)
YAYAYA
Awaken
My Pace (MV)
Slump
Time Out (MV)
Chronosaurus
Here's a couple more that I didn't feel were truly what you were looking for but you might like, mostly songs that had guitar/rock elements.
Domino
Boxer (MV)
Hellevator (Predebut MV)
Voices (MV)
Wolfgang
Hello Stranger (MV)
ROCK (MV ....Ironically not a rock song)
Thank you so much for your reactions! I love watching people slowly become invested with SKZ.
For me those beat switches feels like maze too, maybe they're trying to represent it like that? Cuz, those switches comes constantly and unexpectedly, so it doesn't give u time to relax before other switchup which may feel uncomfortable, confusing and even frustrading for some people.(like they're in the maze) For me personally I love those switchups, they bring me so much joy👌+ here's a recommentation for you 🤗 now that u have listened maze of memories, you should definetly check skz other experimental track: the tortoise and the hare 😁! lastly thank you for the reaction & have a good day🤗 (english isn't my native language, but I hope u understand what am trying to tell😂)
If you want less hype more emotional with less switch ups check out the 3 Japanese first take songs...they're also live!
If you want something more like this go 'tortoise and the hare' or 3rachas 'Hey Day'
It doesn't matter to me what you watch from skz cause I seem to find none of their songs are skips, they're all great in their own way!
Cool reaction!
3racha!!
guys, you definitely have to react to muddy water
idk much about hip hop but i think the guy on the right would really enjoy it
More stray kids please.
Guys, be sure to make a reaction to the DEVILOOF - 拷訊惨獄
You will definitely be shocked ;D
The have bunch of English songs too, that are English versions of their Korean songs, i recommend you check out first the originals and then English ones :"double knot", "domino", "slump", "levanter"
