Story behind this song: You probably heard RM and Suga caught a lot of flack from the underground K-hiphop community when they signed on with an idol company. In addition to that, people would try to shade his rap skills, saying that he had no flow and no speed. So he made this track as a "joke" to show off his flow and speed, and in it he also shades back at that criticism by pointing out that you can rap as fast as you want but if you're just saying nonsense, what's the point? Hence some nonsense verses like 'bibbidy bobbedy'. RM's flow is not only nice, it's intelligent and in ways I don't even fully understand because you'd kind of have to get Korean culture and sayings to fully grasp the wordplay. I have one favorite line in this though, it's in English when he goes "I *told* you that I'm a MONSTER." Ded. Like... you thought. lmao he burns haters left and right I love it. Anyway, cosigning whoever asked you to check out Eung Freestyle, that was my first intro to Korean rappers and I'm _still_ shook.
Highkey ARMY there’s a translation of the Mv and kinda explains the world play here on TH-cam. Just search eng sub and it’s gonna be under another user not Big Hit.
Highkey ARMY oh and to add on to this he’s making fun of the underground rappers who try too hard to rap like current rappers who you can’t even understand. Instead of having their own flow. That’s why his beat changes like 3 different times. The lyrics aren’t supposed to make sense because rappers now a days just rap about money sex and drugs. Like they have no context or meaning like how Tupac did in a lot of his songs. It’s a lot to take it but once you look into this to really understand it, it’s so dope.
RM has the best flow and rap and he is superb in words play in rap and sometimes has deep meaning while using Korean phrases. There are audio on TH-cam with lyrics you can check out.
not sure if you’ll see this, but in korea there’s a distinction between “kpop idol rappers” and underground/k-hiphop rappers. rappers in kpop groups are generally perceived as not ‘legit’ and only designated as rappers because they can’t sing (which, in a lot of cases, is true). k-hiphop rappers are rappers by trade, just like any of the rappers you’ll see in the U.S. the original concept of bts is to blur this line - bts IS a kpop group, but the rappers in bts are rappers by trade, and they have the skill and artistry to prove it. there’s plenty of talent in khh, but i think the impression that khh artists are innately more talented than the bts rapline is untrue. this is just my opinion as someone who got into khh and kr&b before ever listening to a single kpop song.
aly m. YES thank you! BTS are the perfect bridge between the hip hop underground scene and kpop. Actually, add to that Korean music in general. They're their own thing and present the best elements from those 3 areas. They have the Korean "han", the kpop visual aspect and the hip hop bars (k-hiphop is not all that, tbh. There's good and bad in there as well, as in any music scene. The glorifying of k-hiphop never sat well with me for various reasons). What I like about BTS' rap line is that they've found their place as rappers, lyricists and producers, yet they keep on working on improving themselves even further. They have their American hip hop artists they look up to, and a few Korean ones too, and now they're at a point where they grew as people and as artists and they learned from those role models in the music scene while developing their own style with their own flows and lyrical skills.
BTS has the best rappers in the biz. There are a handful more but they are speed rappers and clear no mumbling!!! Thank you for finally listening to RM ( real name Kim Namjoon) formerly Rap Monster.

I've been waiting for this reaction (and Change too) Thanks for this!!! This song is called Joke because it's a Joke literally, the translation to English have 0 sense because he use a lot of Korean playwords and metaphores, but you can check out the lyrics, there are some diss. Also this was made to show his flow and fast rap, because so much (underground) rappers (who criticized him) just are fast but actually don't say anything, just like Joke, anyway he killed the beat!!! RM is my bias and I can recommend listen his Mixtape with subtitles, he said a few weeks ago, a new Mixtape is coming so wait for it too. Other songs you should react from RM if you like: Gajah - Gaeko feat. RM Umbrella - RM & Yuiko (Cover) I know - RM & Jungkook 4 O'Clock - RM & V Rush - RM ft. Krizz Kaliko Champion - Fall Out Boy feat. RM (Remix) P.D.D. - RM, Warren G Awakening - RM Fantastic - RM ft. Mandy Ventrice PD: Sorry for my bad english, is not my first language and I'm still learning 💫
Crystal Closet Films (C.C.F.) Nice comment! Is Namjoon really going to drop a second mixtape soon?? Is it confirmed? Ive heard/read on some threads there is...
Cristina May Poblador He said in one Vlive how Hobi mixtape was sooo good (before he dropped it) better than his own, so he was planing release a new mixtape with better music. I think is not confirmed but we already know he save a lot of unreleased stuff and just like his first mixtape and the collab with FOB, he is gonna drop it soon and without warning 😂
I am not 100% these are the accurate lyric translation but from what I've read its close. As far as how fast he was going I got no idea. this rhythm that makes my eardrums cry bass and drum, the oil that makes me move everything that exists here, happiness until your new obedience, everything Imma fuckin get em I’m Elastine and you guys are dandruff rap idiots, your standard is a commotion fame, girls, money that’s my honey to the honey to the honey who guards the (??)

You really need to read the lyrics while listening to the rap again, so you can hear where he uses English words and lyrics and where he uses Korean. I think you will be even more impressed when you hear how well he blended the two languages and made it all flow and still make sense and never broke from the point he was trying to make.If you read the lyrics while listening to the rap you can totally hear the difference more clearly.
lol at 8:56 you guys started saying 1 verse...... jhope actually released a song called 1verse around the beginning of his career and bts! since you guys already reacted to his very recent mixtape I think it would be cool to react to 1 verse and see how he has progressed throughout the years in regards to his flow and style
Title: Joke By: Rap Monster (now RM) Imagine the genius needed to rap two languages at once with this speed and change of flow. He shut down every hater. This man is a beast. We can only wish to have this much talent. Go back and look for lyrics. Its amazing.
Yeah I'm not writing out these lyrics...lol but if you watch this subbed version the person that subbed the lyrics also explains the metaphors that he's using in the song, just knowing the lyrics doesn't really do it justice, because of the word play and the metaphors if you're not fluent in Korean they would just go over your head, hit the cc button th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html also read description box It explains why the song is called "JOKE"
yeah no prob, I'm just too lazy to write out the lyrics😀 but knowing this fandom I'm sure there will be several people that will oblige in this comment section...lol..Also I find this subbed version more helpful cuz it gives some of the lyrics context
I also love MONSTER by RM. That is deadly awesome~🔥 I have listened many many time. If u understand Korean, you will enjoy more. I bet. RM is a word player. His lyrics always surprise me🙊
The 3 rappers in BTS are dope, very talented guys, each one with their different style and the ARMY value their individuality. react to AGUST D - THE LAST and JHOPE - 1 VERSE
The link for the translation is below. Understand that not every word can be translated exactly but the closest translation is used. RM is my Bias! Great Reaction guys! th-cam.com/video/xRjVlp_0ieY/w-d-xo.html
This is my boy RM style with his genius IQ,cuz RM can speak fluent Korean, English,Japanese. He can speak Chinese and Spanish.He can speak a little Thai and Russian.💝 I only can speak my mother language and some english.😝
Rap Monster is a rap monster for real. You wouldn't normally expect a high-level skilled rapper like that to be part of a mainstream pop boyband like BTS. It makes sense why BTS is so huge unlike any K-pop band before it, because it has legit talent.

Fun fact: he did this while not being able to breathe. He ended up having to have surgery in 2018 to expand his airways because he wasn’t breathing properly and it was affecting his life. The fact that this man couldn’t breathe as it is yet did still could do psycho shit like this AND be a dancer blows my mind
This is my favorite song (rap?) from the rap line especially because of how it’s just him rapping with no special effects or anything just straight bars. He really is the best of the best. (Nothing against special effects tho don’t get me wrong)
Love your appreciative reaction to RM's great song. THROW IT is another of his fast and furious songs from his mixtape. I'm sure you'd like it as well.
From what I heard, RM have had breathing problems until recently when he got surgery for it, so that means that when he was rapping like that on Joke, he was rappping with breathing problems. If RM would release his next mixtape, expect it to be more lit!
This is why RM is my Bias. Khiphop his hella cool, can't wait to see more reactions on it. Oh ya, some more trivia.. RM use to be an underground rapper who went by the name"RunchRonda"
RM it’s no joke!!!! He is The Rap Monster!!!!!!💜🔥 And this song is fire 🔥!!!!!! 🇧🇷💜 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 He is a lyricist genius and no one can’t take him!!!! 💜
Everyone has to learn somewhere and people are usually willing to help with the Kpop, RM & Suga are the best to check out to understand BTS the group itself as they are the main lyric writers, Jhope as well. But keep in mind this was around the time the boys were criticised for being Kpop when they were underground rappers, as you notice Kpop can be about cute outfits, makeup etc. So they came under fire especially from BFree. These songs were released around that same time. For the original lyrics of Joke check out this link th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html . But if you want a more indepth about the members themselves there is a series called *Introduction to BTS* by Squishy Min its funny but covers everything you want to know about each of the members and group as a whole. There is one two things wrong in it, but as a whole it gives you the idea.
it's been days so someone might have already said what i'm about to drop here but i'm too lazy to check so i'm just gonna go ahead. the thing with the korean rapper scene is that it's normally split into 2 fronts. there are the "idol" rappers who one can see in kpop groups, these people do rap but they aren't authentic rappers, meaning that they don't write their own lyrics or have any relation to creating their beats, they just get the rap parts in songs and rap it to their best abilities. most are trained into the role. these people only have rapper as a role to fill in their groups and are people who don't actually have much relation to hip-hop or anything of the sorts. it's really just a role to fill in the group. this is what 99% of kpop groups have (for example EXO, i think i've seen you guys reacting to them so i'm bringing up them as an example you might be familiar with.) now the second front is the underground rapper scene. this is where authentic rappers are at and come from. they make their own stuff, they have everything you'd expect from a legit rapper scene. now the thing is that the underground scene, understandably for most, look down on idol rappers. for one because they are just not doing their own shit or have roots in rapping, and for two - because they are associated with labels. so they have a company behind their backs to push them forward. now the thing with RM and SUGA is that they are a very rare case where they came from the underground scene but are also considered idols. they are *technically* idol rappers since they are in a group, signed at a label. but besides that they are 100% authentic rappers who were already known names in the underground scene at a very young age. SUGA's been making beats since he was 13 and same goes for RM rapping. so when they signed with a label they were called 'sell-outs' by the underground scene and got a lot of flak for it. (nowadays more and more underground rappers get signed though, so it's dwindling down to people just being pressed someone is good enough to be signed.) most of their solo works touch on this beef in some form, let it be direct diss or just bars about finding their own identities in this middle-ground. the whole cypher series pretty much has the imprint of this. same goes for this song 'Joke' which RM made as a satiric piece aimed at rappers who think just because they can rap fast they are the shit. that's exactly why when you try to look up the english translation of this song you won't find much cohesiveness in it, because RM literally just put words after each other without much sense as long as they rhymed. the utter nonsense he's rapping lyrically clashes with his insane delivery, flow, techniques, pace, and that's the satire. it's a highly intellectual form of dissing underground rappers who threw dirt at them despite lacking sense in their own bars. RM is a very strong lyricist, i'd even say that out of bts rapline his form of rapping is the one that shades you with how clever his bars are. so he took it upon himself to say how people who think rapping is all about saying words that rhyme fast are a JOKE. most of rapline's songs all have backgrounds and i could go on and on, but the main point is that BTS is a rare case of kpop where their rappers aren't just there to fill a role but have authenticity. but i wanted to let you guys know that *that's not the norm for kpop groups*. i can maybe list off 4-5 other groups that have a member with legit rapping background. BTS hard-fought for their creds and respect and now they have it even from the underground scene, especially RM and SUGA.
You guys actually look at the comments and listen to us and what we're saying and I have so much respect for you guys because of that. And I have no idea how many bars he spit lmao that's sooooo over my head
I always got the chills whenever RM in his security guard costume (i think that's what it is) smiles while pulling the hat down near the end. Seeing a shadowy half-covered face with a smile is something you can never forget.
I’m a hip hop head. Always said this. I’m a hip hop head before I’m a k-pop or bts fan but the rap line of bts really fills the shoes of the real hip hop that Americans used to provide man. Yatchy, pump, 21 savage like nah I can’t fuck with that whack shit anymore and I realized that korean rappers are gon step up and fill that void for hip hop that I’ve been missing.
INCREDIBLY late comment, its definitely a year and a half after this was uploaded, but i counted the bars a few ways. I hope I counted right, it's just the complete measures. Starting from his first syllable, he performed BETWEEN 91 AND 94 BARS. Manually counting, I got 91 and then 92. Using math and timestamps, which was much less accurate, I got approximately 94. ~92 consecutive bars. This dude is INSANE and I love him
Omg I’m dead. Namjoon is a beast. I love this track because the whole point was just to flex on all the other k-rappers who dissed him in the past. The title of it is “Joke” because basically the lyrics...don’t make sense? In that way, it’s a ‘joke’. It’s just mixing Korean/English puns/metaphors, and nonsense all to show off his flow skills. This was from his RM mixtape. The background instrumentals are from Run The Jewels ‘Oh My Darling’. If you ever want to watch/react to a great dissection of his mixtape, check out the channel Suga&Spice - they made a video about the first two of the BTS rapline’s mixtapes. Even I learned a lot.
When RM release joke, there was a "beef" between korean underground rapper and idol raper, rapper use to give Suga and RM a lot of shit for leaving the underground world to become idol. So people wouldn't take BTS rap line seriously and they used to mock RM telling him "oh you can't rap fast" "you are not doing it right" "you don't know about HipHop" so that's why he made this song and called it Joke, he is basically mocking people who tell him that he can't rap fast or doesn't have "flow" and think that just because they do mumble rap (the bibidi babidi part) or rap fast and general that means they are good rapper. So this songbis pretty sarcastic and a parody to krapper who think they're the shit and it's very metaphorical.
I'm not as well-informed about hip hop but so I don't know anything about bars or rap speed, but here's what I've heard: BTS rap line is probably as diverse as you can get in the kpop idol scene. Each has their own style, flow, lyricism, you name it. RM was inspired to write Joke after getting dissed by rappers saying he couldn't rap cause he had no speed or flow. That's why he kept "changing flows" and rapped "Bibidi babidi bubidi babidi nimini namini jirimi chakami" fast. RM said himself that he enjoys focusing on the meaning behind his lyrics rather than most rappers who just add random words without meaning for rhyming. He's what I consider the "lyrical-type" rapper, who cares more about his message than flow or speed. So RM isn't really a "speed-type" rapper, though he can be if he wanted. If we're talking about speed, Suga/ Agust D I believe is one of the top 3 (if not #1) fastest "kpop idol" rappers with an average of 11.4 syllables per second under his belt (but I've also heard he can do up to 14 syllables per second in cypher pt. 2 so I'm not quite sure). The ranking is always under debate so while others say he's the fastest, there's always someone who disagrees. And I believe JHope aka Hoseok is the more "flexible-type" rapper that can adopt a lot of different flows. To me, his rap actually sounds melodic, as if he were singing. But well, you've heard his mixtape so I bet you can be a better judge of his rap-style.
I really appreciate your reactions. You guys seem so chill, I enjoy watching your videos. My ultimate bias is J-Hope. He's just super talented, not only can he rap, sing and write, compose and produce songs, but he's also an excellent dancer. In fact, before he joined BigHit he was a street dancer and he's one of the best dancers I've ever seen. You can imagine he's an amazing performer when he's on stage. So, he's an all around great artist, plus he's a super hardworking and humble guy. If guys are into dancing, I suggest you check his or BTS dance practices. Also, shout out to my bias Wilkins. XD ⚔️
*PLEASE REACT TO his FIRST MIXTAPE "RM" [2015] there are lyric playlists available if you choose to read the lyrics after/whilst listening to the songs*
We don't need to translate the lyrics for you. All you need to do is look it up. Almost every Kpop song, including "Joke" has lyrics videos where Kpop fans have translated the song so international fans can understand what the song is about. If you ever want to know what they are saying in any Kpop song all you have to do is search TH-cam or Google for an English Lyric video. I guarantee, unless a song is less then a few hours old, someone has already translated the lyrics for the song. Seriously search English Lyrics for Rap Monster's Joke on Google and and you will find numerous pages where fans have translated the lyrics for English speakers. One of the easiest I found to read was www.kpopviral.com/lyrics/bts-rap-monster-joke-lyrics-english-translation-romanized.html This song was RM's attempt to prove to the hatters that he is a true rapper and he changed up the flow in the song because he wanted to show he could rap using all the styles. So some of the lyrics might not make sense to you when you read them but they were done that way partly because he was making a point about how some people's raps may rhyme but they don't always have any substance or message behind them, etc. Make sure to listen to the Rap again while reading the lyrics so you will be able to pick out which lines and words he said in English and which words were in Korean. It makes a difference because when you hear how well he was able to blend English and Korean and was able to make it all flow and make sense, you will be even more impressed.
Bruh this was what got me into K-rap and K-hip hop. Namjoon (RM) is so dope it isn't even funny. I can rap the whole thing (because I've been learning Korean for a year and a half) but I don't know if I will ever have the lung capacity to perform the song to its full capacity the way Namjoon can. If you want to check out a phenomenal female K-hip hop artist, check out Jessi. My favorite of hers is 'Ssenunni', but 'Gucci' is one of her more recent ones that is really good also.
His name was Rap Monster, but for some reason he said he felt he didn't live up to the name at the moment, so he changed it recently to just RM. There are some fans who still call him Rap Monster though.
Finally another reaction for RM/Namjoon formerly known as Rap Monster/Rapmon! Thank you so much guys for this reaction. RM used to be an underground rapper along with Suga. Hip Hop saved RM that is why he has genuine love for it. He loves the culture and continues to educate himself, he reads all the time to broaden his knowledge and understanding of music. He is very intelligent,his IQ is on genius level (148)! I dont know how to tell how fast he raps here in "joke" but youtube reactor CarKpop made a video on RM's fastest raps & no.1 is joke, counting the syllables per sec,heres the link: th-cam.com/video/KGQJd0RHk8Q/w-d-xo.html . And as for Joke MV with english sub here is a link: th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html . Anyway,im glad u guys watched it first without the eng sub,at least u got to concentrate on the video and RM's insane flow. This song is an answer to his haters that says his rap style sucks coz he raps slow and lame.RM prefers to rap deep, thoughtful and meaningful lyrics on not so overly produced beats. So with this song he did not make the lyrics to be so deep (its just direct diss style) but focused more on his speed and flow! For me, RM really proved and lives up to his former name of "Rap Monster"! Love you guys,pls continue to learn more about RM, BTS and KHipHop😊
RT TV RT TV oh my gosh you guys replied im so happy!!! Thank you😊im a hip hop and r&b music enthusiast myself but english is not my first language tho😊i love all music in general but hip hop, r&b, rock and alternative have a special place in my heart, thats why i really look out for music artists that are genuine and with RM and BTS, i really feel it! Here is a mini concert of RM (Suga and J Hope guested) where he performs his solo,collab and bts raps, this is just him being a genuine performer th-cam.com/video/ZzQ9Z0RAQ8Q/w-d-xo.html . You guys can react to it or you can watch it on your own time. Sorry for the long post. Keep grinding guys😊
2nd vers Got six bullets in my tongue (Huh!) Six snakes in my lung (Huh!) Six shots got me feeling 2Pac, yeah, these are A$AP’s lyrics He spit 150 bars in the song Rm stands for the " REAL ME" And this is the fastest song rm has He is a king spits fire 🔥 always 💜 he is my bias from BTS and my OTBIAS "OT " means of all time I recommend u listen to his song " change " which is RM ft wale Powerful msg in the song
RT TV looking forward to your reactions! Love hearing your guys’ opinions on the music and the fact that y’all are so genuine. If you guys do watch the introduction videos, be prepared bc they can be a bit lengthy. They’re filled with lots of info, but it’s not 100% accurate so take it with a grain of salt. Just fyi, on RM’s intro video, it doesn’t go much in detail on his solo works like his mixtape or his collabs. Thanks again for taking time out of your lives to make this videos ~~ really appreciate it! ⚔️
Guys there are a Korean TV Show for female rappers called Unpretty Rapstar, you can found a lot of videos from their performance in TH-cam, I think you probably will like it. Personally I love that TV show. If you love dance, and I think you love it, search Hit The Stage. A Korean show for idols who can dance, is on TH-cam too. Try with Koya, Yugyeom, UKwon or Ten, they have powerful performances. Like always, sorry for my bad English
I love seeing peoples first reaction to Joke. No chorus, no bridge, no instrumental. Just straight bars.
Jewels that’s what you call hip hop!
literally just discovered this track 6 days ago and can't stop playing it
Jewels too lit with bars! Dang!!!!
Story behind this song: You probably heard RM and Suga caught a lot of flack from the underground K-hiphop community when they signed on with an idol company. In addition to that, people would try to shade his rap skills, saying that he had no flow and no speed. So he made this track as a "joke" to show off his flow and speed, and in it he also shades back at that criticism by pointing out that you can rap as fast as you want but if you're just saying nonsense, what's the point? Hence some nonsense verses like 'bibbidy bobbedy'. RM's flow is not only nice, it's intelligent and in ways I don't even fully understand because you'd kind of have to get Korean culture and sayings to fully grasp the wordplay. I have one favorite line in this though, it's in English when he goes "I *told* you that I'm a MONSTER."
Ded. Like... you thought. lmao he burns haters left and right I love it.
Anyway, cosigning whoever asked you to check out Eung Freestyle, that was my first intro to Korean rappers and I'm _still_ shook.
Highkey ARMY there’s a translation of the Mv and kinda explains the world play here on TH-cam. Just search eng sub and it’s gonna be under another user not Big Hit.
He goes so hard on this track. I bump this in my car all the time 😂😂😂
Highkey ARMY oh and to add on to this he’s making fun of the underground rappers who try too hard to rap like current rappers who you can’t even understand. Instead of having their own flow. That’s why his beat changes like 3 different times. The lyrics aren’t supposed to make sense because rappers now a days just rap about money sex and drugs. Like they have no context or meaning like how Tupac did in a lot of his songs. It’s a lot to take it but once you look into this to really understand it, it’s so dope.
❤️❤️❤️
Highkey ARMY yes, eung freestyle is dope
Fun fact: RM was at one point one of the top students in all of south korea. Boy is a genius.
he wrote his own songs even the bts songs he is amazing
RM has the best flow and rap and he is superb in words play in rap and sometimes has deep meaning while using Korean phrases. There are audio on TH-cam with lyrics you can check out.
Priscilla DeCaccia thank you can you send us the link!
Priscilla DeCaccia thank you we will do you have any links ?
RT TV just search RM mixtape lyrics(every song will pop up) and you’ll have them right away same as the Agust D and BTS’ songs
check out 'Do You' by RM
Cas • BTS yes please!!
Cas • BTS yess please DO YOU
Yessssss please
I watched this TH-cam video that said in this particular song, RM rapped on average 9 syllables per second
hopeful that helps in some way? idk
a j thank you! That’s dope!
a j i
Please react to “The Last” lyric video by Agust D. It’s an amazing yet emotional track
L PJM YES!!!!
OUU YESSSS PLEASE
OMG THAT'S LIT! but they should react to that with eng sub and that will be great
not sure if you’ll see this, but in korea there’s a distinction between “kpop idol rappers” and underground/k-hiphop rappers. rappers in kpop groups are generally perceived as not ‘legit’ and only designated as rappers because they can’t sing (which, in a lot of cases, is true). k-hiphop rappers are rappers by trade, just like any of the rappers you’ll see in the U.S. the original concept of bts is to blur this line - bts IS a kpop group, but the rappers in bts are rappers by trade, and they have the skill and artistry to prove it. there’s plenty of talent in khh, but i think the impression that khh artists are innately more talented than the bts rapline is untrue. this is just my opinion as someone who got into khh and kr&b before ever listening to a single kpop song.
aly m.
YES thank you! BTS are the perfect bridge between the hip hop underground scene and kpop. Actually, add to that Korean music in general. They're their own thing and present the best elements from those 3 areas.
They have the Korean "han", the kpop visual aspect and the hip hop bars (k-hiphop is not all that, tbh. There's good and bad in there as well, as in any music scene. The glorifying of k-hiphop never sat well with me for various reasons).
What I like about BTS' rap line is that they've found their place as rappers, lyricists and producers, yet they keep on working on improving themselves even further.
They have their American hip hop artists they look up to, and a few Korean ones too, and now they're at a point where they grew as people and as artists and they learned from those role models in the music scene while developing their own style with their own flows and lyrical skills.
Yaay so glad you reacted to this.
RM IS A RAP FLOW KING ☺️
Rm was spitting 8.4 syllables a second and he is underrated
He switched his flows 9 times. No hook, no chorus. Straight BARS! 😁
BTS has the best rappers in the biz. There are a handful more but they are speed rappers and clear no mumbling!!! Thank you for finally listening to RM ( real name Kim Namjoon) formerly Rap Monster. Lyrics:
this rhythm that makes my eardrums cry
bass and drum, the oil that makes me move

top and gdragon are not really good rappers..they are great artist tho
Pam injapan thank you! For requesting we love hip hop and love khiphop we will be reacting to a whole lot more. thank you for the lyrics break down!
Younghotyellowgirl actually RM is one of 10 fastest rappers in korean. Not idol rapper, but rapper. So yes he is one of the best.
I've been waiting for this reaction (and Change too)
Thanks for this!!!
This song is called Joke because it's a Joke literally, the translation to English have 0 sense because he use a lot of Korean playwords and metaphores, but you can check out the lyrics, there are some diss. Also this was made to show his flow and fast rap, because so much (underground) rappers (who criticized him) just are fast but actually don't say anything, just like Joke, anyway he killed the beat!!!
RM is my bias and I can recommend listen his Mixtape with subtitles, he said a few weeks ago, a new Mixtape is coming so wait for it too.

Note :
* = Lee Gunhee, owner of Samsung
** = Okwang, a fortune-telling card game
*** = jokbal, boiled pig feet, a popular food for older people
**** = “money rap” and “don’t rap” have similar pronunciation, “playing rap” and “non-rap” have similar pronunciation
***** = 갑 is slang for vagina and 질 is “will lose,” 갑질 is to boss someone around (I doubt these two things are unrelated in etymology…)
****** = jade is 비취 which is pronounced similarly to “beach” which is pronounced similarly to “bitch”
Melinda Sanchez didn’t realize how confident he is in his lyrics explain when he thinks he the best thank you!
You really need to read the lyrics while listening to the rap again, so you can hear where he uses English words and lyrics and where he uses Korean. I think you will be even more impressed when you hear how well he blended the two languages and made it all flow and still make sense and never broke from the point he was trying to make.If you read the lyrics while listening to the rap you can totally hear the difference more clearly.
lol at 8:56 you guys started saying 1 verse...... jhope actually released a song called 1verse around the beginning of his career and bts! since you guys already reacted to his very recent mixtape I think it would be cool to react to 1 verse and see how he has progressed throughout the years in regards to his flow and style
a j we will soon check out Are last J-Hope reactions
i mean 1verse been released in 2015, it wasnt around their debut
they been alrdy 3yrs on stage
Plz react to JHOPE-1 VERSE

Title: Joke
By: Rap Monster (now RM)
Imagine the genius needed to rap two languages at once with this speed and change of flow. He shut down every hater. This man is a beast. We can only wish to have this much talent. Go back and look for lyrics. Its amazing.
Yeah I'm not writing out these lyrics...lol but if you watch this subbed version the person that subbed the lyrics also explains the metaphors that he's using in the song, just knowing the lyrics doesn't really do it justice, because of the word play and the metaphors if you're not fluent in Korean they would just go over your head, hit the cc button th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html also read description box It explains why the song is called "JOKE"
감사합니다 방탄소년단 Thank You we completely understand write no the lyrics takes a lot of time but thank you for the link will deff check it out soon!
yeah no prob, I'm just too lazy to write out the lyrics😀 but knowing this fandom I'm sure there will be several people that will oblige in this comment section...lol..Also I find this subbed version more helpful cuz it gives some of the lyrics context
Man the dude all the way on the left with the camo shirt is so wise. much respect. Everyones good too thought but that dude especially
I also love MONSTER by RM.
That is deadly awesome~🔥
I have listened many many time.
If u understand Korean, you will enjoy more. I bet.
RM is a word player.
His lyrics always surprise me🙊
*"i told you that iam a monster, I CAN rapping nonstop, HIT ME !"*
The 3 rappers in BTS are dope, very talented guys, each one with their different style and the ARMY value their individuality. react to AGUST D - THE LAST and JHOPE - 1 VERSE

This is my boy RM style with his genius IQ,cuz RM can speak fluent Korean, English,Japanese. He can speak Chinese and Spanish.He can speak a little Thai and Russian.💝
I only can speak my mother language and some english.😝
Rap Monster is a rap monster for real. You wouldn't normally expect a high-level skilled rapper like that to be part of a mainstream pop boyband like BTS. It makes sense why BTS is so huge unlike any K-pop band before it, because it has legit talent.

I love your reactions, thank you for taking into account the comments of your subscribers. Keep it up for much more. Greetings from Argentina.
Fun fact: he did this while not being able to breathe. He ended up having to have surgery in 2018 to expand his airways because he wasn’t breathing properly and it was affecting his life. The fact that this man couldn’t breathe as it is yet did still could do psycho shit like this AND be a dancer blows my mind
This is my favorite song (rap?) from the rap line especially because of how it’s just him rapping with no special effects or anything just straight bars. He really is the best of the best. (Nothing against special effects tho don’t get me wrong)
In this MV his highest was 9.3 syllables per second. Truly is a rap monster. The name is well deserved.
Love your appreciative reaction to RM's great song. THROW IT is another of his fast and furious songs from his mixtape. I'm sure you'd like it as well.
From what I heard, RM have had breathing problems until recently when he got surgery for it, so that means that when he was rapping like that on Joke, he was rappping with breathing problems. If RM would release his next mixtape, expect it to be more lit!
I love people reacting to joke❤️👏🏼😉
His rapping gave me chills😰😰❤❤

azyura 0802 we will we love fall out boy can’t wait to see how it comes out!
Everyone has to learn somewhere and people are usually willing to help with the Kpop, RM & Suga are the best to check out to understand BTS the group itself as they are the main lyric writers, Jhope as well. But keep in mind this was around the time the boys were criticised for being Kpop when they were underground rappers, as you notice Kpop can be about cute outfits, makeup etc. So they came under fire especially from BFree. These songs were released around that same time. For the original lyrics of Joke check out this link th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html . But if you want a more indepth about the members themselves there is a series called *Introduction to BTS* by Squishy Min its funny but covers everything you want to know about each of the members and group as a whole. There is one two things wrong in it, but as a whole it gives you the idea.
it's been days so someone might have already said what i'm about to drop here but i'm too lazy to check so i'm just gonna go ahead. the thing with the korean rapper scene is that it's normally split into 2 fronts.
there are the "idol" rappers who one can see in kpop groups, these people do rap but they aren't authentic rappers, meaning that they don't write their own lyrics or have any relation to creating their beats, they just get the rap parts in songs and rap it to their best abilities. most are trained into the role. these people only have rapper as a role to fill in their groups and are people who don't actually have much relation to hip-hop or anything of the sorts. it's really just a role to fill in the group. this is what 99% of kpop groups have (for example EXO, i think i've seen you guys reacting to them so i'm bringing up them as an example you might be familiar with.)
now the second front is the underground rapper scene. this is where authentic rappers are at and come from. they make their own stuff, they have everything you'd expect from a legit rapper scene. now the thing is that the underground scene, understandably for most, look down on idol rappers. for one because they are just not doing their own shit or have roots in rapping, and for two - because they are associated with labels. so they have a company behind their backs to push them forward.
now the thing with RM and SUGA is that they are a very rare case where they came from the underground scene but are also considered idols. they are *technically* idol rappers since they are in a group, signed at a label. but besides that they are 100% authentic rappers who were already known names in the underground scene at a very young age. SUGA's been making beats since he was 13 and same goes for RM rapping. so when they signed with a label they were called 'sell-outs' by the underground scene and got a lot of flak for it. (nowadays more and more underground rappers get signed though, so it's dwindling down to people just being pressed someone is good enough to be signed.) most of their solo works touch on this beef in some form, let it be direct diss or just bars about finding their own identities in this middle-ground. the whole cypher series pretty much has the imprint of this.
same goes for this song 'Joke' which RM made as a satiric piece aimed at rappers who think just because they can rap fast they are the shit. that's exactly why when you try to look up the english translation of this song you won't find much cohesiveness in it, because RM literally just put words after each other without much sense as long as they rhymed. the utter nonsense he's rapping lyrically clashes with his insane delivery, flow, techniques, pace, and that's the satire. it's a highly intellectual form of dissing underground rappers who threw dirt at them despite lacking sense in their own bars. RM is a very strong lyricist, i'd even say that out of bts rapline his form of rapping is the one that shades you with how clever his bars are. so he took it upon himself to say how people who think rapping is all about saying words that rhyme fast are a JOKE.
most of rapline's songs all have backgrounds and i could go on and on, but the main point is that BTS is a rare case of kpop where their rappers aren't just there to fill a role but have authenticity. but i wanted to let you guys know that *that's not the norm for kpop groups*. i can maybe list off 4-5 other groups that have a member with legit rapping background. BTS hard-fought for their creds and respect and now they have it even from the underground scene, especially RM and SUGA.
Essa musica e rapido e massa rao monster pefeito😘😘
Yes his name change to RM and the name of the song is "Joke"❤
I TOLD YOU THAT IM A MONSTER
THAT ID BE RAPPING NON STOP
Please react to Umbrella - RM & yuiko
Ame la reaccion de los 4..gracias RTTV...BTS sabe adonde se dirije y es lograr que su musica nos llegue a todos..JOKE ESTA MAS QUE GEKIAL...
Because of RM I became an ARMY at 35! And joke is my anthem!
You guys actually look at the comments and listen to us and what we're saying and I have so much respect for you guys because of that. And I have no idea how many bars he spit lmao that's sooooo over my head
I NEED this to be available on Spotify. PLEASE.
I always got the chills whenever RM in his security guard costume (i think that's what it is) smiles while pulling the hat down near the end. Seeing a shadowy half-covered face with a smile is something you can never forget.
Oh my god. I’m so happy u guys reacted to this! Yes yes yes 💜
I love that line "I told you that I'm a Monster. Thats why I be rapping non-stop."
RM was spitting fired for sure...😂🔥🔥🔥👏
I’m a hip hop head. Always said this. I’m a hip hop head before I’m a k-pop or bts fan but the rap line of bts really fills the shoes of the real hip hop that Americans used to provide man. Yatchy, pump, 21 savage like nah I can’t fuck with that whack shit anymore and I realized that korean rappers are gon step up and fill that void for hip hop that I’ve been missing.
INCREDIBLY late comment, its definitely a year and a half after this was uploaded, but i counted the bars a few ways. I hope I counted right, it's just the complete measures.
Starting from his first syllable, he performed BETWEEN 91 AND 94 BARS.
Manually counting, I got 91 and then 92. Using math and timestamps, which was much less accurate, I got approximately 94.
~92 consecutive bars. This dude is INSANE and I love him
RM is unstoppable ❤️❤️
I really think whenever it comes to RM, Our president KIM you just need to see his lyrics ✌🏻👍🏼
Keep up, i like your cheer.
Did y’all hear it??? He said “ see I told ya that ima monster.. that’s why I be rapping nonsense..” 🙌
If you look up joke the lyric video should pop up there is one by jeonilysm which translates the whole song
Omg I’m dead. Namjoon is a beast. I love this track because the whole point was just to flex on all the other k-rappers who dissed him in the past. The title of it is “Joke” because basically the lyrics...don’t make sense? In that way, it’s a ‘joke’. It’s just mixing Korean/English puns/metaphors, and nonsense all to show off his flow skills. This was from his RM mixtape. The background instrumentals are from Run The Jewels ‘Oh My Darling’.
If you ever want to watch/react to a great dissection of his mixtape, check out the channel Suga&Spice - they made a video about the first two of the BTS rapline’s mixtapes. Even I learned a lot.

When RM release joke, there was a "beef" between korean underground rapper and idol raper, rapper use to give Suga and RM a lot of shit for leaving the underground world to become idol. So people wouldn't take BTS rap line seriously and they used to mock RM telling him "oh you can't rap fast" "you are not doing it right" "you don't know about HipHop" so that's why he made this song and called it Joke, he is basically mocking people who tell him that he can't rap fast or doesn't have "flow" and think that just because they do mumble rap (the bibidi babidi part) or rap fast and general that means they are good rapper. So this songbis pretty sarcastic and a parody to krapper who think they're the shit and it's very metaphorical.
I live this style
Respect our boys and we'll respect you
This song he wrote when the BTS was going thru hard times where they were thinking of disbanding. It's crazy. He's awesome.
RM is the best rapper !!!!he is so talented !!!!!love his MV "Do you" ,so good!!!!
I'm not as well-informed about hip hop but so I don't know anything about bars or rap speed, but here's what I've heard:
BTS rap line is probably as diverse as you can get in the kpop idol scene. Each has their own style, flow, lyricism, you name it.
RM was inspired to write Joke after getting dissed by rappers saying he couldn't rap cause he had no speed or flow. That's why he kept "changing flows" and rapped "Bibidi babidi bubidi babidi nimini namini jirimi chakami" fast. RM said himself that he enjoys focusing on the meaning behind his lyrics rather than most rappers who just add random words without meaning for rhyming. He's what I consider the "lyrical-type" rapper, who cares more about his message than flow or speed. So RM isn't really a "speed-type" rapper, though he can be if he wanted.
If we're talking about speed, Suga/ Agust D I believe is one of the top 3 (if not #1) fastest "kpop idol" rappers with an average of 11.4 syllables per second under his belt (but I've also heard he can do up to 14 syllables per second in cypher pt. 2 so I'm not quite sure). The ranking is always under debate so while others say he's the fastest, there's always someone who disagrees.
And I believe JHope aka Hoseok is the more "flexible-type" rapper that can adopt a lot of different flows. To me, his rap actually sounds melodic, as if he were singing. But well, you've heard his mixtape so I bet you can be a better judge of his rap-style.
Do RM's other mixtape MV song "Do You"!!
Me throughout like half the vid *NAMJOON MY DUDE TAKE A STOP AND BREATH FOR A MINUTE YEEZUS CHRIST* lmao💜❤️ By the way this vid was great loved it
I'm 3 years late and I was waiting to hear Rob's "THAT'S MY BIAS" for Rm 😂
I really appreciate your reactions. You guys seem so chill, I enjoy watching your videos. My ultimate bias is J-Hope. He's just super talented, not only can he rap, sing and write, compose and produce songs, but he's also an excellent dancer. In fact, before he joined BigHit he was a street dancer and he's one of the best dancers I've ever seen. You can imagine he's an amazing performer when he's on stage. So, he's an all around great artist, plus he's a super hardworking and humble guy. If guys are into dancing, I suggest you check his or BTS dance practices. Also, shout out to my bias Wilkins. XD ⚔️
If you search for Joke Rm cc eng sub - Leeha park has the translation and also explains things that are Korean word play.
at the fastest point in the song he is rapping approximately ~9 syllables per second
Most intelligent artist in kpop history📖
You should look up "Tear" with RM, JHope and Suga.
Put up on youtube "Joke lyrics".....thank you
Es mi bias❤️☺️
I love your reaction so much....RM is my fave
Please react BTS SBS performance practice dance...its SUPER LIIITTTT
Now this...called RAP MONSTER..... So hype
*PLEASE REACT TO his FIRST MIXTAPE "RM" [2015] there are lyric playlists available if you choose to read the lyrics after/whilst listening to the songs*
RM released another song from this same mixtape and it has a MV, it’s called DO YOU and it’s a BOPPPP
You can always check out a lyric video for the English translations.
RM (Rap Monster)....the song is called Joke.
We don't need to translate the lyrics for you. All you need to do is look it up. Almost every Kpop song, including "Joke" has lyrics videos where Kpop fans have translated the song so international fans can understand what the song is about. If you ever want to know what they are saying in any Kpop song all you have to do is search TH-cam or Google for an English Lyric video. I guarantee, unless a song is less then a few hours old, someone has already translated the lyrics for the song. Seriously search English Lyrics for Rap Monster's Joke on Google and and you will find numerous pages where fans have translated the lyrics for English speakers. One of the easiest I found to read was www.kpopviral.com/lyrics/bts-rap-monster-joke-lyrics-english-translation-romanized.html This song was RM's attempt to prove to the hatters that he is a true rapper and he changed up the flow in the song because he wanted to show he could rap using all the styles. So some of the lyrics might not make sense to you when you read them but they were done that way partly because he was making a point about how some people's raps may rhyme but they don't always have any substance or message behind them, etc. Make sure to listen to the Rap again while reading the lyrics so you will be able to pick out which lines and words he said in English and which words were in Korean. It makes a difference because when you hear how well he was able to blend English and Korean and was able to make it all flow and make sense, you will be even more impressed.
Bruh this was what got me into K-rap and K-hip hop. Namjoon (RM) is so dope it isn't even funny. I can rap the whole thing (because I've been learning Korean for a year and a half) but I don't know if I will ever have the lung capacity to perform the song to its full capacity the way Namjoon can. If you want to check out a phenomenal female K-hip hop artist, check out Jessi. My favorite of hers is 'Ssenunni', but 'Gucci' is one of her more recent ones that is really good also.
thankyou for this!!💜 thankyou for your time and kind analytics for RM💜 I'm not good with english, but best wishes for y'all💜💜
His name was Rap Monster, but for some reason he said he felt he didn't live up to the name at the moment, so he changed it recently to just RM. There are some fans who still call him Rap Monster though.
Finally another reaction for RM/Namjoon formerly known as Rap Monster/Rapmon! Thank you so much guys for this reaction. RM used to be an underground rapper along with Suga. Hip Hop saved RM that is why he has genuine love for it. He loves the culture and continues to educate himself, he reads all the time to broaden his knowledge and understanding of music. He is very intelligent,his IQ is on genius level (148)! I dont know how to tell how fast he raps here in "joke" but youtube reactor CarKpop made a video on RM's fastest raps & no.1 is joke, counting the syllables per sec,heres the link: th-cam.com/video/KGQJd0RHk8Q/w-d-xo.html . And as for Joke MV with english sub here is a link: th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html . Anyway,im glad u guys watched it first without the eng sub,at least u got to concentrate on the video and RM's insane flow. This song is an answer to his haters that says his rap style sucks coz he raps slow and lame.RM prefers to rap deep, thoughtful and meaningful lyrics on not so overly produced beats. So with this song he did not make the lyrics to be so deep (its just direct diss style) but focused more on his speed and flow! For me, RM really proved and lives up to his former name of "Rap Monster"! Love you guys,pls continue to learn more about RM, BTS and KHipHop😊
Cristina May Poblador we can tell he loves and really RESPECT THE HIP HOP CULTURE ✊🏿
RT TV RT TV oh my gosh you guys replied im so happy!!! Thank you😊im a hip hop and r&b music enthusiast myself but english is not my first language tho😊i love all music in general but hip hop, r&b, rock and alternative have a special place in my heart, thats why i really look out for music artists that are genuine and with RM and BTS, i really feel it! Here is a mini concert of RM (Suga and J Hope guested) where he performs his solo,collab and bts raps, this is just him being a genuine performer th-cam.com/video/ZzQ9Z0RAQ8Q/w-d-xo.html . You guys can react to it or you can watch it on your own time. Sorry for the long post. Keep grinding guys😊

j a m we will it’s highly requested
RT TV 👏🏼👏🏼💜 I’m looking forward to it (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
RT TV looking forward to your reactions! Love hearing your guys’ opinions on the music and the fact that y’all are so genuine. If you guys do watch the introduction videos, be prepared bc they can be a bit lengthy. They’re filled with lots of info, but it’s not 100% accurate so take it with a grain of salt. Just fyi, on RM’s intro video, it doesn’t go much in detail on his solo works like his mixtape or his collabs. Thanks again for taking time out of your lives to make this videos ~~ really appreciate it! ⚔️
And don't forget this man sings beautifully when he isn't joking.
FINALLY!! Been waiting for ds reaction
Guys there are a Korean TV Show for female rappers called Unpretty Rapstar, you can found a lot of videos from their performance in TH-cam, I think you probably will like it. Personally I love that TV show. If you love dance, and I think you love it, search Hit The Stage. A Korean show for idols who can dance, is on TH-cam too. Try with Koya, Yugyeom, UKwon or Ten, they have powerful performances. Like always, sorry for my bad English
This is RM's Masterpiece. I think it's basically 9 flows, no chorus & all BARS💪
Please reaction Jay Park. His music is so cool
@Tuân Minh Nguyễn we just did check out Are last post
I remember first listening to joke and honestly I nearly cried bc I had put off listening to it for like 2 months and holy shit I regretted it so much
