I appreciate how Suga/Agust D can articulate those mixed feelings about balancing between staying true to yourself and growing as a person. A lot of rap fetishizes the idea of "staying real" but doesn't address the fact that we often develop habits and patterns to help us survive in hard times but when our circumstances improve, we cling to those habits and patterns even if they no longer help. Or they ignore that even the most comfortable external life can't miraculously cure mental illness or trauma. Suga never forgets those things. And he never sounds whiny about it -- he's honest with himself and he's honest with us so we never hear his words and dismiss them like "boo hoo, the multi-millionaire is crying." He's worked very hard musically to always show us the real person inside the image.
“I realised that I didn’t know who to be angry with anymore. Finally, I was able to look at myself. I’d been making a weapon out of anger and a sense of inferiority, but around 2018, my self-destructive rage slowly started to subside. I realised that I couldn’t channel creative energy through only those sorts of emotions any longer.” - Suga from the vogue interviews they did in dec (highly recommend reading these if you have down time). It’s wonderful to see how their growth thru lyrics over the years, esp w his first mixtape and now D2, and w RM1 & mono, excited to see jhopes in hopeworld2 this year.
There is a melancholy in Suga’s voice that even without knowing the lyrics, I can sense that vibe. It’s pretty cool how they manage to convey across language barriers
SUGA lyrics are always so deep and hit so hard in all different ways to all different kinds of listeners. There is a song of him that I really like and also the song that made him my bias in BTS, it's called The Last by AUGUST D. Please check this out and I believe that you would like it too. Thank you
One of the things I enjoy about BTS' music the most is the fact that not only are the lyrics top notch but also the production as well. I find that a lot of songs specifically in the rap genre that have deeper lyrics tend to sacrifice the replay-ability of the song and ends up sounding very "preachy". With BTS, I don't find that to be a problem whatsoever
This is exactly what I comment to my friends. BTS songs are not "preachy", they leave it all in the open for you to think about it, have your own opinions and make your own choices. I am still very fascinated by this, because I grew up listening to so many preachy lyrics in the hardcore and metal genres...
What you said about Juice Wrld .. I think you will understand it more once you react on 'The Last' by Agust D .. D-2 (second mixtape) is intense but Agust D's first mixtape is way intense and ...dark ... It's Agust D's journey from before he joined BTS and after that .. you will find it interesting how Agust D has changed and softened a lot in 3-4 years.
I haven't gotten around to D-2 so this was my first experience with Moonlight. How relatable. I have always taken walks in the middle of the night, when it seems like the rest of the city is asleep and it's just me. I take this time to think through my thoughts and allow myself to feel my feelings. I will often go to a secluded place where I can see the stars and the moon clearly. I just sit, look up and think. This made me realize that even though I have moved all over the place, been through so much shit and experienced so many different things, this moment with the night sky has never changed at all. It is always the same stars and the same moon, hitting me in the same way. It's kind of comforting and kind of sad to know that even though I'm a totally different person than I was, these walks still feel the same and mean the same thing to me. It makes me feel like I'm doing better and makes me feel like nothing has changed. It's a weird feeling I can't really explain. Thank you for this reaction.
You’re right, one thing BTS and the individual members do well is to write bouncy upbeat songs with such morose topics 😂 I love how the lyrics express a conversation with within himself, so many dichotomies between his life pre-success and post-success, where he came from and where he is now, how he thinks he deserves his success after going through so much shit but also having impostor syndrome. Then he wraps it all up with the hook where he’s like yeah maybe these dichotomies are actually not real, it’s all just the same and I shouldn’t worry so much about crashing and instead just accelerate more despite that possibility
Also agree. 'Bouncy upbeat songs with morose topics' - to quote another ARMY and BTS reactor Ive watched "BTS write / create mental health bangers!".💜 and if its not straight up mental health its social commentary. We know even the upbeat songs have deep messages and meaning and aren't usually simple happy topics, there's substance.
Yes tears well in my eyes within the first few seconds everytime 😢😭 Beautiful song and amazing and powerful delivery, so emotional. One of my favourites. I remember the first time I heard it I had no idea what it was about or the lyrics and it just started playing after another BTS song I knew. It started to effect me straight away, I was taken aback and had to look up the lyrics. 🎵 💜
Yes yes yes Moonlight. I hope you do a reaction to his V Live when he dropped this album. He talked about each song. Can't wait for the rest of your reaction to the rest of track from D2. ☺️
I really enjoyed your reaction and your thoughts on the song, D2 is amazing and the way SUGA has for storytelling it's just beautiful.... I would really love to watch your reaction and hear your thoughts on ''strange'', ''people'', and ''dear my friend'' from agust d
He is my favorite rapper...He is just amazing...I really surprise to hear his lyrics everytime.He is a genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥💜️💜️💜️love your honest ,genuine reaction ..Good luck💜️💜️
moonlight is one of my fav songs in this album! idk if u noticed but Adora, bts' previous producer harmonizes with yoongi in the bg, actually she did a lot of backup vocals in suga's mixtape which i'm so thankful for, it gives the songs such a full sound and ofc the lyrics were so brutally honest, him just telling us his story and struggles so plainly just hits u hard, in general this mixtape i feel balances between yoongi feeling the pressure of his position and wishing back for simpler times while acknowledging how those times weren't so great, along with a good mix of existentialism haha
This is one of my favorites for the pure vibe of the production Suga does but the meaning hits me for how I feel sometimes I find it so deeply relatable. Yet it’s not a totally dark song but it’s definitely not happy. It’s complex and gets better with each listen for me.
I love your reactions! Thank you. The line referring to lyrics from "Never Mind" is from one of my favorite Intro's!!! Here's a live performance of "Intro: Never Mind" which was the intro to their "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2" album released back in Nov 2015: th-cam.com/video/wGI0ScNzt0U/w-d-xo.html
I love how he put some of his influences of old school style of rap in this one. To me, it matches a lot with the vibe, talking about his early days as a rapper and how some things changed, but others remain the same. Thanks for your reaction! I got a feeling that you're gonna react to "People" soon (to be honest, any others from this mixtape would be fine hahaha).
*Suga is an introspective philosophical rapper, his first two songs always are raw but when you deeper into his mixtape it becomes a lot more complex. Suga has suffered from anxiety, he has gone through so much while he was young (if you look into his documentry) that now his mind is developed beyond his age (Perhaps thats why people refer to him as a old soul). He is also know for his one liner quotes, and pragmatic mindset. I would say the best way to know about his journey is to listen to his first mixtape where has has documented everything. Suga is now at much better place but when you look into his past, its pretty messed up but i guess that is why his journey is inspirational. I also would recommend Nevermind by BTS suga (its his solo song in bts). He has also talked about the importance of healthy music, he said that its the resposibilty of them to make music that inspires younger generation. He wants BTS to be remember as an inspiration artis (Suga is in charge of creating vision for BTS), i hope he knows that it is happening. There are so many insightful words he has spoken, it would be good if we go one by one and experience through his songs :)*
I love his story telling rapping . Can you check out his other songs from this album like "Dear my friend " . I also love is song "First Love " about his love for music from BTS Wings album . Thank you for your reacting to this song I knew you will like "Moonlight ".
I have listened to and fall in love with D2 when it dropped but Moonlight is one of my least favorite songs there (still love it a lot!!!) so I haven't revisited the lyrics for a while and here I was able to do the thing you said - feel the sadness or rather melancholy just from the cadence alone. Also I love how he has this natural lisp and does nothing to "correct" it in his tracks but rather leans into it even more. Love his artistry.
Yes thank you thank you😁 I too asked you to react to the whole mixtape. Thanks😁 You won't regret. Yoongi talks through his songs. You can really see his thought process🥰 I love yoongi and I love BTS Their music helps me when I feel happy and sad my fav yoongi song is so far away cause at the time I found BTS I related to that the most
Ohh heyyy, I came here just as the live ended😅 I'm so happy that you reacted to Moonlight. I just suggested it yesterday! (tho, I think you probably planned to react to it even before that 😂) I love listening to Moonlight, the song melody itself is so chill, and Suga's rap and vocals flows so good. It's so easy to the ears :) And I love that the flow of the story of his life that he's telling us I'm glad you enjoyed this too :D I'm a Moon-enthusiast ie, Moonlight by Agust D/Suga Moonchild by RM Moon by Jin You mentioning how moonlight isn't always beautiful, it can also represent dark sides - your comment remind me of RM's Moonchild
Thank you for watching! Yes this was filmed almost a week ago now, I plan to do the whole D2 mixtape. I will definitely check out moonchild by RM, I'm a night/early morning person. Mid-day I'm ready for sleep most days.
Love this one, great lyrics and such a chill vibe. First time I've realised the very start bit of music, just the first 10 seconds, reminds me of the music from Jhopes Airplane (also a chill vibe) 😎 Love AgustD's singing in the chorus - he is an amazing rapper, but in my opinion he is also a great singer. He might not have the same vocal range that the vocal line members do, but still has a great singing voice and great tone. Going to be interesting for you when you do Seesaw - a BTS Solo by Suga. Its one of my favourites of his, it has some much more sing song / melodic rap but also singing from Suga. It has brilliant lyrics and vibe and is a great live performance. 🙂
Am still at the office, here in western-indonesia std time are 19.15 and am stuck at the ofc.. wel just finish my job ready to go home..and watch yours first 🤣😂
@@DestructiveMediaYT Can you believe that Yoongi released this masterpiece for free?!? (All the guys of BTS gift ARMY with amazing free music on Soundcloud!)
Thank you so much for checking the mix tape! Moonlight is a great song and again, so honest and genuine 💜
Thank you so much for watching!
Moonlight is amazing!! 💜✨

That is so interesting and so deep! Do you have the link?
this! thats why i find it easier to listen to d2 than agust d. such a relief he's in a better situation now, at least his mental state. :)

His song "People" from this D2 album has been my favorite song (in general) since it came out. Very introspective, I definitely recommend 😁

D-2 is the most streamed album by a K-soloist for a reason! All songs from it are amazing
Really??
I really love D-2
Another great reaction. Can’t wait for “people”. Thanks Brian💜
Thank you! This song is so cool. He is one of my bias wrecker because he is so talented. 💜
I love this song I swear I ascend every time I listen to it

Thank you for diving into his mixtape

omg if u wanto to hear PAIN listen to him on First love, one of his solo songs, it hits hard even without reading the lyrics 😆

yeah moonlight definitely in my top 3 along with people and strange!! 28 is also amazing!
this mixtape is so good 💜 cant wait for people
Yes yes yes Moonlight. I hope you do a reaction to his V Live when he dropped this album. He talked about each song. Can't wait for the rest of your reaction to the rest of track from D2. ☺️
thank you so much for this, brian! D2 is my favorite and i am so looking forward to other d2 songs reaction videos.
I love this song. Such a jam with great lyrics. Great for casual car rides
I really like that he curses , since it is his mixtape he is doing how he feels and talks freely
All of D-2 is amazing. I'd look at the doolset translation though, as well as these lyric vids
I really enjoyed your reaction and your thoughts on the song, D2 is amazing and the way SUGA has for storytelling it's just beautiful.... I would really love to watch your reaction and hear your thoughts on ''strange'', ''people'', and ''dear my friend'' from agust d

What a way to start a mixtape, right? I love "Moonlight" a lot.
I hope you consider reacting to 'Nevermind' by SUGA . That one is so good.
I love this song so much. The only thing wrong with it is that it's too short! It's such a vibe.
This is one of my favorites for the pure vibe of the production Suga does but the meaning hits me for how I feel sometimes I find it so deeply relatable. Yet it’s not a totally dark song but it’s definitely not happy. It’s complex and gets better with each listen for me.

🙏💜 Thank you~!
Glad you enjoyed it so much; the lyrics were truly awesome. So open and genuine. 👍
one of my fav songs on that album
for real suga mixtape is such a masterpiece..

Suga is so relatable his mixtape are so raw you can feel his emotions and can relate to it.
Agreed! Thank you for watching!
His lyrics are just sooooo relateable and contain his soul, they feel like a revelation to ourselves.
"people" is my favorite from D 2
I love his story telling rapping . Can you check out his other songs from this album like "Dear my friend " . I also love is song "First Love " about his love for music from BTS Wings album . Thank you for your reacting to this song I knew you will like "Moonlight ".

I love how the first he is stuck on is so effing dope. How does he do this?!

I too asked you to react to the whole mixtape. Thanks😁
You won't regret. Yoongi talks through his songs. You can really see his thought process🥰
I love yoongi and I love BTS
Their music helps me when I feel happy and sad
my fav yoongi song is so far away cause at the time I found BTS I related to that the most
A somewhat happy beat with downbeat lyrics - welcome to the melancholy that is BTS.
you should watch the d-2 vlive of yoongi after where he dropped ♡ he talks about the mixtape like the details and process of creating the songs :)
Ohh heyyy, I came here just as the live ended😅
