![Rap Monster - DO YOU [MV] REACTION!!!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ig5ILKT_53Y/mqdefault.jpg)
*9 flows, no chorus, straight bars!*
*Joke is a Masterpiece! BTW he has an IQ of 148 and you'll see why his lyrics always have double meanings. HE'S THAT IMPRESSIVE 🔥🔥🔥*
To explain why RM made this song :
So you probably know that RM and Suga received a lot of flak from the underground K-hip hop community when they signed with an Idol company. In addition to that people would try and shade his rap skills, saying he had no skills and no flow. So he made this song as 'joke' to show off his flow and speed and also shade back on the criticism by pointing out that you can rap as fast as you want but if you're just saying nonsense then what's the point? Hence there's no hook, just bars after bars and some nonsense words like 'bibbidy bobbidy.. *Joke is an intelligent sattire for people who think rapping fast without any meaningful lyrics and flow is cool or good.* The bibbiby babbiby verse you heard him say is the joke of him dissing the mumble jumble rappers. Joke is not just "fast rap" with no meaning. RM is the KING of wordplays. He focuses a lot on lyricism, double/triple entendre and flow. He gets his inspiration from 90's hip hop if you wanna check out his first mixtape...but simply the other rappers are making fun of him because he can't rap fast and only focus on lyricism which is why he made this song for them. he said "hit me" at the end to allow others to diss him again. but nobody did anything yet. King's shit. fun fact: RM was at one point one of the top students in all South Korea, boy is a GENIUS...
*In short, RM GENIUS SONGWRITER OF THE CENTURY.*
His rap is not only skillful but extremely intelligent. Makes me wish I knew Korean to fully understand all the wordplay and references.
Well said! His part in Cypher 2 blew me away. To me he’s like a PhD of rap.
G DRAGON THE KING
@@lisas44 ikr!! I love his part in cypher 2 as well!
@@himaririku9254 this bot is everywhere 🚶♀️
This song is called Joke because it was meant as an unserious, nonsensical song that showcased his talents and abilities to anyone acting like he can’t rap. Some people think if you don’t rap fast or over complicated beats, you don’t have ability. Some of his rap lyrics on BTS songs aren’t always hard hitting but they work within the context of a BTS song. This goes back to the taunts of “You’re just an idol rapper.” This was just his proof that even when he’s messing around, he can include flow switches, complicated beats, speed and wordplay and he’s still better than you. He’s like, MFer, I’m from the underground. *mic drop*
*PROOF* indeed and he didn't have to 💜🎶
BAM
A lot of people say it’s a Joke and nonsensical but it is really an intricate diss track. It seems nonsensical bc there are so many double and triple entendres in Korean it’s hard to translate to other languages. So yes, while there are many jokes in the song, it’s more that RM is calling out his haters and telling them “you’re a joke.”
@@butterflysuki7772 I wonder if it’s a bit about the guy Daechwita is about.
@@stormyboz8278 If you’ve seen the interview that RM and Suga went on where they were told they weren’t real rappers and turned their backs on hip hop, this is basically a response to all of them. Same with Yoongi and the track AgustD. Full on diss tracks. About Daechwita, Yoongi said that it wasn’t about anyone in particular but if you felt called out that was your own fault and then he laughed. 😂
LMAO! You guys are killing me. You have to remember that RM comes from underground rap. He is roasting other rapper who think they're the *ish* and saying he wasn't going be nothing because he chose to become an idol...when really RM is an Artist.
Namjoon is basically flexing his ✍️ craft. Sort of a " too easy". He's is saying, It's not difficult for me to create and/or execute., so I'm gonna make a genius, wordplay masterpiece with multiple rhyme schemes, several flow changes in two different languages.. AS A JOKE!!! For those 🤡 who criticized. A song that is still to this day, baffling many. An big intellectual
F U..
The MV is also another hot topic and has had various interpretations. I believe it was done on purpose to make you think or feel some type of way..that's RM style. He's all about homework. 😂
6:06 "Unnie" is older sister by younger girls. A younger boy would call an older girl "noona".
"Girls call you unnie" is essentially "you're such a little bitch the girls call you sis"
I really like your bantering at the start and your dogs 💜💜💜
Wow 👀🐨💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
AHAHAHA great translation 😂
G DRAGON THE KING
RM IS ONE OF THE BEST LYRICISTS IN THE INDUSTRY 💜 THE "HIT ME" WAS AN INVITATION TO THE HATERS AND GUESS WHAT NO ONE HAS EVER RESPOND.
He is the best, also yoongi
I recommend you the other two songs of RM that are dope too. "Do you?" and "Monster". Hope you'll enjoy.
I love Monster!
Great suggestion. Love them both. I also love his mixtape Mono. Some of those songs are so comforting when you are going through a hard time.
@@It_is_what_it_is365 😉👍
@@SLiPinBoise Yeah, his mixtape Mono is very special.
Do you is my fav!!
*TIP: Pull up Doolset when you do BTS reactions. That way you'll have the lyrics handy and there are short explanations and cultural notes where needed. It's generally considered the go-to place for accurate BTS lyrics.* 💜
(Btw, they actually curse in quite a lot of their songs, group songs and individual projects alike.) 😅
Always look to see if anyone has suggested Doolset I literally have a quick link to their website saved on my phone.

RM was heavily criticized by several underground rappers when he debuted in BTS as an idol. Both RM & Suga were looked down upon by several underground rappers, with some even referring to them as girls for getting make-up done for performances. It was the typical "macho" bravado of some underground rappers, who were less talented than both RM & Suga. One of those who criticized them actually ended up in prison. The lesson here is: don't mess with RM, Suga, or BTS... You can try, but in 10 years since their debut (6/13/2013), this group broke numerous records all the way back from the Beatles. They have established themselves as one of the legends (whether you like their music or not), and these guys are just starting their chapter 2. They did all this not just simply bc they are talented, but bc they worked f***ing hard at it. RM has over 200+ songwriting credits, making him the 2nd & youngest in SK to reach this milestone. Suga is one of BTS's main producers but also is a producer for many artists in the Kpop industry. JHope just collaborated with JCole; JHope didn't even know how to rap until he was a trainee. And, the vocal line - don't even get me started on how talented those 4 guys in the vocal line are. BTS ARMY has seen these guys climb from the bottom to the top... and they've taken us on this whole journey with them. We are protective bc many people misunderstand them, have used them, or criticized them. This is a complex group capable of multi-genres of music. They are continuously evolving and never settling! I am a proud ARMY for life 💜 🫶
Iconic! One of my favs from RM. That's why a take him so seriou as a rapper and an artist. The other one I love is Do You, a completly different cadence of rapping. This man is a genius lyricist and song writer/beats composer, that's why he helped to transform an almost bankrupt company in a multi million dollar music group and empire 💜
Yes, please react to Do You by RM and also Monster 💜
BTS have a positive message but they’re not punks, that’s why I love them. These days they’re more sophisticated though and simply ignore the haters, which I love even more. If that isn’t a flex in itself, I don’t know what is🤣
I really like that you first read the lyrics and then watched the MV afterwards. So many don't do that and they miss a lot of either the lyrics or the music video.
I have noticed from your first video of BTS that you keep saying army is going to go for you or blast you in the comments or something similar . Idk what you have heard from people but I would like to tell you that we don't call out people for simple stuff so you don't have to worry about that. And you also mentioned that you didn't expect them to have this type of songs as you thought of them as boyband ... they are much more than that so you should try to listen them without any prejudice . Love your reaction💜 please check out "on the street" by j-hope×j.cole
Back when he (RM) and suga got a lot of hate for leaving underground to idols, their old underground rappers said they couldn't rap anymore or couldn't rap as fast as them cuz they were idols now so RM literally made this song as a Joke to prove to them that most times his haters rap so fast that their fans can't even see the meaning or it literally has no meaning, it's just fast.
At least RM's rap has meanings if you get it.
Swearing? Ummmm yeah.... he's a rapper dude. RM and Suga are from the underground rap scene. Of course they're going to go hard. You still have them boxed in as a Backstreet Boys type boy band who happen to sometimes do rap. If anything it's the other way round. They're rappers who occassionally do pop songs. They were originally created as a hip hop, not a pop group. It's less suprising about what they're capable of, if you stop thinking of them as a boy band and just think of them as artists.
OMG!! My favorite comment here!! 100% FACTS!
Well said.
This is EXACTLY why I laugh everytime I heard people said BTS is girly or BTS is for the girls. THAT is girly? Idk doesn't seems girly to me 😂😂
Btw I'm sorry but underground rap is mad famous in Korea and it's not at all "discourage". Hiphop has been the love of korean since decades ago. The guy on the left is right. This song is actually meant to let out his annoyance towards hiphop scene itself. Underground rapper bullied them for being an "idol group". What he trying to say is that he is much much better than those rapper. also the reason why nobody should ever look down or judge kpop group cuz they are mad talented. They might not be to your taste but you can't ever said they aren't talented. This is what RM trying to prove.
They have Total creative freedom when it comes their solo stuff and we love it..
I appreciate you guys. Thanks for the time and effort spent. ARMYs know how good BTS is as a team and individually. They just complement each other so much and yet when they do subunits or individually, they are still as good. They have so many styles that just watching 1 vid doesn't do them justice.
Just a heads up he did sample Run The Jewels for the beat but everything else is all him! While some of his lyrics make little sense they do once you dig into them. He did this when he was getting alot of flack about not being able to rap fast and his focus on lyrics. This was his response, he never came out and said it was directed towards anyone specific but there has yet to be any answer so to speak! 😂 This song to me is just RM proving he can be fast and lyrical as well, because even if it seems like nonsense when you dig into it it actually has meaning. I really like the spin the wheel for the reaction hopefully you have Agust D, Agust D on there.
RM is a poet and a rapper and he started in his very early teens. He was attacked and insulted numerous times by many people and other rappers! They accused him of selling out and being gay for becoming a K-pop idol and becoming the leader of a K-pop group. All of BTS have been ridiculed over time…. Over and over for a wide range of idiotic reasons. Including their wide range of music styles and genres, to their literal style of clothes and appearance. They’ve had a hard road, and a lot of people in the entertainment industry said they would never make it…..So, you’ll notice the lyrics in quite a few of their songs and raps, that they have this chip on their shoulder or axe to grind feel! BTS are multitalented artists that don’t confine themselves to one genre of music, rap, or dance… they just do their thing!!!😊😊😊😊 I hope this helps a little!! THANKS FOR EXPERIENCING BTS!!!😊❤
Hello! Technically speaking, the word "Hangeul" means "Korean writing" ("han" = "Korean", "geul" = "writing"). Hangeul was carefully designed and produced in 1443. Before that, Koreans used Chinese characters to read and write but since it was a completely different spoken language and was the written form was not phonetic, it was difficult to learn for most people. Hence the creation of Hangeul. The spoken language, Korean, existed for a long time before that.
However (!!) a lot of people these days, including Koreans, use "Hangeul" to also mean the Korean spoken language. It's not technically correct, but I hear it all the time, lol, so you might see it used for either the written or spoken language. Thought you might find that interesting!
After mockery and ridicule for years that his choice to become an Idol rapper meant he had forfeited the essence of hip hop namely the ability to speak his own mind, a rookie rapper being marketed by a Big 3 corporation lit into RM and BTS at the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Both RM and BTS were ridiculed in a rap performance in front of RM's peers and a huge international tv audience. RM sloughed it off in the press but a few months later released Joke with the telling last line "Hit me". He had been slandered by elders but in an age conscious society accepting such a public slander by a younger would have been seen as undignified especially for a rapper. So rather than being a weak person who used the press to fight his battle, RM chose an underground staple, rap battle. Hit me is an invite to come back if you think you have better. The comeback never came but a few years later the rapper silently standing next to his CEO listened to his boss issue a weak mia culpa for him.
Interesting to get just one like but thanks to that person. Guess if I said Joke "was meant as an unserious, nonsensical song that showcased his talents and abilities" I would be popular as......
@@ericweinman9447 like RM's lyrics, there's apparently too much substance that surpasses the understanding of those who enjoy simplicity. I appreciated your deeper explanation, and it was ARMY like this that took the time/effort to share the historical context of the group that helped me learn so much behind the hype. If it had been left to only the fans that see breathing as a heroic act by members who can't ever do wrong, it would have been difficult to take the group seriously. Thanks for helping to show the 3D perspective of the group💜
I think in part it is an angry rap at the old underground rap friends who turned on him and Suga when they joined an idol group. He is showing off that being an idol didn't stop him from performing
If you enjoyed this there is more rap to explore. AgustD (Suga) mixtapes are raw and do not hold back lol. BTS rap line also go hard with the Cyphers 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ugh, Bapsae, Ddaeng, Outro: Tear. I can’t emphasize enough how impactful it is to watch these guys perform these live. I recommend you listen to a track with lyrics, then check out a live. The are flippin on FIRE when they perform. You can’t miss that part of the equation!! Borahae💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
If you're into this kind of bts song, I think you guys will love the cyphers!!!
Yeah, now you should absolutely do the speech at the UN in 2018 🤣
He's talking to some haters who said he couldn't rap because he's an idol. This was stream of consciousness by the way. He has other tracks where his writing is just pure poetry and blows up your soul.
💜
The fact that he can switch between English and Hangul better than most can speak one language is amazing. The man is a lyrical genius and all his haters need to reflect on themselves. Loving the vids, keep them coming and enjoy the ride 💜 7
12:44 to be fair bts is something that most people can't even imagine,
and the funny part is that you think that this shock you but there is so much more that gonna make your mind blow.
I really love your reactions guys🔥💜
they drop names for all the rappers they look up to in their song HipHop Lover, from old school rappers to newer ones like J Cole
My suspicion is that this was aimed that the K Hip Hop community or / and some people in it in particular who has or have been giving the BTS rap line a lot of sh*t for crossing over from the hip hop underground scene to the idol scene.
From what I can see so far the K hip hop community is full of pretentious wannabes and tryhards wanting to be black but clueless about actual hip hop is about. They are major cringe.
This was part of his mix tape so the beat was sampled from RUN THE JEWELS.
He said hit me at the end as an invitation to these people to hit him back with a diss but nobody did, I would not either 🗿 that would have been a blood bath
Y'all J-hope just dropped a Collab with J. Cole. So I think you might have to just throw the whole wheel away because at this point BTS aren't going to let you breathe when it comes to content. Especially, since Suga's birthday is March 9th (so you have to do a birthday reaction) and then right after Jimin drops his highly anticipated Face Album on March 23. 😭
Nah the wheel is unique they should keep it. It makes it fun😭
@@jinphany. lmao true
@Tiger Teel, This is RM’s play on words Korean & English it’s more nonsensical it’s mostly to showcase his skills as a underground hip-hop rapper because that’s his roots nobody’s looking frowning a pot underground rap that is probably the most sought after type of rap that South Korea puts in high regards there are a lot of underground rappers who have join the K-pop scene! RM is showcasing his word play how he can take words from Korean and fit them into a English format and vice versa and if some of the references you don’t get it because they are Korean metaphors or comparisons that you are not knowledgeable of!
He is telling the haters yeah I’m an idol I joined BTS! I am working and you guys are still in the underground struggling that’s why your rap is lame and it’s always the same he’s pretty much dissing those underground rappers who talked shit about him and Suga for joining a K-pop group! Here RM is proving them wrong and you don’t have to rap fast in order to be good but here he raps fast to prove that he is good that he doesn’t need their approval he is who he is!
RM is a student of hip-hop he knows the ins and outs and the word plays both in Korean and Japanese, English he has the advantage because he knows how to take words from three different languages and fit them into a rhyme scheme and the flow is dynamic and that’s how he stays ahead of all the other rappers because they don’t have that skill! It’s extremely hard to take three different languages or even two languages and fit them in a sentence structure that makes sense or rhymes or has the same type of flow as it does in English and Korean! For example if you take an artist who is mostly Spanish speaker but that rapper can take English and Spanish words and fit them in the same sentence structure and have it flow & cadence work nicely!👍
There is no explanation for this particular song it will not break down each sentence and it’ll make no sense to you if you have the time and if you have the patience for it to be broken down now you can insert your own opinion on what you think it means but 9 times out of 10 you’re gonna be wrong! So do you wanna know the true facts behind each sentence structure ? It doesn’t matter! Technically there isn’t a total breakdown it’s just a play on words and Korean metaphors, His talent the flow because it sounds good and it doesn’t necessarily make sense but it definitely showcases RM’s rapping abilities !💜
So if I'm not mistaken, Suga has mentioned multiple times that RM was already extremely well known in the underground rap scene and had heard of him even before getting to Seoul. At that time he was like 15-17
You should check out RM recent solo album INDIGO the whole album is a masterpiece ✨💜
this song is titled "JOKE" cause RM is making case that rappers who use simple nonsense words to give them speed are a joke. They spew utter gibberish just get a name for speed when they are conveying nothing of any merit to listeners. Showboating at its worse in music. RM has no tolerance for people who call themselves rappers using this technique. He is schooling all it & showcasing their method. Killing it along with them as he surpasses them all using their method.
I love it. That's our Namjoon getting down as his badself. For me is king of rap. Others may not agree with me on my take. I have followed him since was in underground. Used to get videos from friend in that scene over there as outlawed here in the states back then. Found him and that's how I came to know BTS.
I was into underground along with street crew dancing.
Man RM got them all in this MV. Schooling done like a master.
Hangul literally is the alphabet. Korean is the language. I am pretty sure. The members say Korean.
RM the genius would educate us if it was not correct. The language came before Hangul. Before they developed their own language, they used Chinese characters.
RM and Suga were bullied by underground rappers B Free. It’s not one specific person. He says it’s stream of consciousness. He never mentions names.
You're correct, the language is Korean.
You are right, Hangul is the writing system, Hangug would be the Korean name for Korea and Hangugeo would be Korean for the Korean language :)
Can you react also to the "CYPHER 1-4".ITS really Fire.. Its BTS RAPLINE
*Hi guys. This song was released way back in 2015. RM (& SUGA) still had a raw, underground, curse-laden, sometimes misogynistic vibe to their rap. "JOKE" was on RMs very 1st mixtape entitled RM/JOKE (but was never placed in a BTS album). Also, Big Hit never released it commercially. B.H. & BTS were still figuring out their Personal Brand.* 💜
I really liked all three of your interpretations.
As one of you mentioned Kriss Kalico. Did you know that RM and him sung a song together, called 'Rush' ?!
Looks like you guys are getting into your strides. All 3 solid & good on sound. Thanks for watching the video as alot is put into them and for the time and interest into the lyrics. Kudos on the identifying w/ Eminem's skill flexing! Nice call! About "Unni" if you are a dude who is full of yourself, would you like the girls to call you "big sister"? Nope. When taping one video, you might want to provide your own team with your full attention as they are addressing the guests you've asked to come by? I laughed at the comment on excusing b/c the commenter was rude and didn't like people like that, and that came before this. The fact that these get translated real time and for free for global fans is a gift. It doesn't hurt to ask for personalization to your needs but wouldn't hold your breath, Sir.
“Blowing on the flesh whistle”! Dying laughing. I just come here for the education.
Hi, thanks for your reaction
The way that I see the song is that Namjoon is mocking the people that call themselves “rappers” when they aren’t real ones. It is well known that he, as well as Yoongi, was an underground artist and that he was being looked down at because he became famous as an idol rather than pursuing a career as a rapper. I think that this song is a way for him to tell them that no matter what path he took and how people perceive him as an idol, he is still a rapper and he has the skills that they don’t.
He basically laughs at them and at how pathetic they are, pointing out how different their leagues are and making them feel insignificant. He even brags about how writing the lyrics took him just a short time and that it is easy for him to do so. He is basically telling them that he knows what he is doing, that he is proud of himself and that he is killing it.
But It isn't just about dissing "fake" rappers and laughing at them: this song is a way to criticize a certain rap culture that he looks down upon
The song is comprised of wordplays with a heavy presence of end rhymes and lines that are not necessarily connected through each other in terms of their meaning. The track really showcases his wordplay ability and the technical aspects of his rapping skills
Rapper B-Free made disrespectful comments to Suga and RM in 2013 when he criticized them for becoming idols, as he didn't view idols as rappers
In the BTS discography, both as a group and their songs as soloists, you will find different styles and genres... you will like some of them and others you will not, and that's fine, I like 100% of their songs, although most of them do, but not all of them. I have them on my playlist... it's a matter of personal taste.
I don't particularly like heavy rap, I only came to like some Eminem songs or when, for example, some rock groups incorporated rap into their songs in the early 2000s. With BTS I started to like rap a little more, although I still preferring more the combination of rap with vocals, not rap alone, however because of the love I have for BTS as artists I have given myself the task of listening, analyzing and understanding their rap and I have learned to appreciate that musical genre more
Greetings from a 42 year old Army living in Mexico
Hangeul is the writing system 😊 The language is still Korean
When you guys said you actually hate each other and that Reapers only there cuz he's getting paid, it reminded me of that Wired interview with BTS where they answered questions about themselves that people were Googling...last question was "Do BTS get along?" And they immediately responded with 'No. No noo, no just business relationship' and everyone( especially army) was cracking up
Loving your reactions and how much you look into the meaning…. My personal preference is DoolsetBangtan translations over Genius. Doolset often has context from a Korean culture perspective that gives better insight and more accurate translations. OF course there is always going to be somewhat of a loss in translation but yeah. Thanks for reacting!!!!
you gonna love RM Do You and Monster and check Agust D - Agust D, Jhope - Arson and More
I enjoyed ur reactions. Plz react to taehyung (v) singularity and stigma . U won't regret 🥲💜💜💜💜💜💜
Just cracked up and you not feeling bad about using the F-word now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since you liked it, I recommend listening to this as well:🔥🔥
"Monster" By RM ( th-cam.com/video/7kRee_11ucs/w-d-xo.html )
"Throw Away" By RM ( th-cam.com/video/WtDDhUzRSFw/w-d-xo.html )
"Do You" By RM ( th-cam.com/video/0XAxf8aFtL4/w-d-xo.html )
If you don't have RM song monster on your list to react to, I think you will like it, so can you add it to your list.
Please react to this live :
BTS (방탄소년단) Cypher Medley (ft. Supreme Boi) live in Seoul 2017 [ENG SUB] [Full HD]
another reccomendation from RM that i think you guys would enjoy is "Throw Away" it's one of my favorite songs off RM's first mixtape.
here's a link, there is no m/v for this one:

People forget RM and suga/agust D started off in the underground rap scene. Like they came from true rap and bts was supposed to be an only rapping group but changeed it to a hip hop group to now kpop but RM suga you can't erase where they are from (the underground rapscene yes they are bts now but this is still their history) so alot of bts solo works rap albums talk about topics like this suga, jhope too and in the bts group work bsides they also talk about harder topics bu most of their title songs is what title songs are for, for popular mainstream music but their bside, solo works, it is alot deeper than you think
Gentleman sorry don't know your name at 25:30 is spot on, that was the attitude! He was just taking a piss and showing off
That would be ROTNReaper :)
Essentially this is a song clapping back to his haters that said he was no longer a real rapper once he became an idol. Kind of along the lines of I can rap better than you without really saying anything. Look where I am and look where you are. I'm just going to shut you down.
I think you should react to the four cyphers color coded videos (all at the same time) I think the 2nd one is dedicated to b-free (that guy who's in jail right now)
I really think you should watch tracks through, especially the rap, otherwise you lose the flow. And then break it down, do searches and go off on your tangents at the end.
As people have said, this was meant as a Joke just to show RM can rap fast and about random nonsense and swearing if he wants to. But as he is a credible ARTIST who can do it all he doesnt feel the need to do that. Even though he can, quite easily.💜
This wasn't specifically against one person, but rather the hip hop scene in general. If you guys remember, in their early days, RM and Suga especially got a lot of hate for being part of an idol group. Furthermore, RM tends to focus more on lyricism and a lot of his songs tend to be more mellow. So this is a response to the haters who said he wasn't a good rapper just cause he doesn't usually rap fast or "hard." The song is called Joke because not only was it made as a joke, but the quality is a joke too despite meeting the criteria of what the hip hop scene would consider "good." I think it's also why this song is so shockingly vulgar, to fit the image of hard hip hop. He ends the song with "Hit me," challenging the haters but no one has been able to respond.
The guy on the left is right. this is directed to a group of people in d underground hating on RM/Suga for being in BTS. At this point did u forget RM and Suga were underground rappers when they were 13? RM is battling underground rappers older than him and is scared of him, he can freestyle and battle underground when he's just 13. I guess u haven't seen the video guide to all BTS members, and y'all be shocked too hearing Suga, he even gave middle fingers on his solo MV Agust D. Of course being in BTS can't give them freedom to curse coz they won't be played on radios & tv. That's y they have solo songs that sometimes BangPD Hybe chairman now (their boss) says I should not give them too much freedom during solo songs but nah he promised them creative freedom, u can't restrict these underground rappers just because they are BTS, that's y they have solo albums & mixtapes. They are hardcore underground rappers, singer song writers, producers before BTS. Musical geniuses and RM having 148 iq & top3% on national exam in South Korea, literally a genius. Have u seen artists who roasts their Boss, owner of their label even before they became BTS, they were only trainees & they have a song dissing Bang PD, haha, coz they aren't allowed to meet the other girl groups of their company during their training days, but they are like brothers, friend, prodigies to Bang Si Hyuk, now a billionaire in USD who bought Ithaca Holdings (Scooter Braun's label who handles Ariana, Justin B, JBalvin, Demi, Kid laroi, etc) for 1B USD$ (USD$). Suga on d other hand is already producing before BTS, getting ripped after selling his songs, a musical genius, making beats and producing music at 13.
I hope you take the chance to listen to solo work from all the members. We are so lucky that such talented artists are all in one group. It really is amazing how good they are.
HLC: That is an intricate way of calling someone a bitch. Hahahaha lmfao. You guys are hilarious. Joke is the best RM rap ever. The BTS duality is starting to hit you guys huh? Welcome to the rabbit hole………
What RM said about the song. It is ear candy a stream of consciousness exercise in Rap skills. But we know it's a clap back at his ex underground rap friends who called RM and Suga girls for wearing make up. Told them they were not hip hop or rappers anymore. There is a better translation to English plus extra info on Korean slang terms available with the MV . You just have to put RM JOKE ENG SUBTITLES and check through till you find the right one. Every body in Korea knew who he was talking to because they tried to humane Suga and RM live in an interview and in an interview in the papers.
React to RM -monster and do you
BARS and SPEED...and all in one go, didn't need a breather. SKILLS for damn sure! #RMPresident
To further clarify, unnie (언니) is older sister for another female (can be actually related or just a close friend). In the same vein hyung (형) is older brother for another guy. Noona (누나) is what a guy would call an older girl, and oppa (오빠) is what a girl calls an older guy.
I recommend watching the Change MV by RM feat Wale. It’s in English and is very powerful.

HLC is correct, written language is 한굴 (Hangul), which really just refers to the lettering. Korean language itself is said as 한국어 (hangug-eo)
If you think this has rough language... Wait til you listen to AgustD 🤣🤣🤣 BTS are not innocent babies, they are full-grown ass men!
"Joke is a song I wrote with the flow of my consciousness. That's why the title is 'Joke'. There is nothing hidden in these verses, and the song is 500% for listening pleasure. I felt the need for a song that would refresh the mood without any particular meaning as I included messages and feelings in other songs. Here I added what I think are the 'skills' of rapping."
- Namjoon for HIPHOPPLAYA in 2015.
The song is aimed at rappers who at some point messed with Namjoon. There was a controversy in 2016 where people started saying that it was meant to insult women because of the words he uses, but it's a matter of looking at the context and realizing that his goal is clearly not that. That's exactly why 'bitch' he uses it as a simple insult that doesn't mean anything concrete.
In conclusion, the song has a lot of meanings
puppiiiiiieeeesssss!!!!! tooo cuuuuuuuteeee
Hangul is the alphabet, the way to say Korean language in Korean is Hangugeo.
taking Korean classes right now. :-)

RM did 9 different flows here!
All of RM's work are based on deep lyrics that are thought provoking with a message but "Joke" is an exception. Joke is full of word play. This song was a slap to haters who criticized him and said that he can't rap fast or flow hard as "he had become an idol rapper" and said his rap was based on only lyricism and delivery and also mocked him for pursuing his career as BTS. Joke was his answers to those so called " rappers" who only spit words like 'bibidi babidi' (basically just saying any word that would go with the rhythm without having any actual meaning). Through Joke, he showed that he can rap fast but good rap ain't just about speed. Just being fast doesn't make it meaningful. It was a clap back to haters!
In the early years, the big 3 Kpop companies encouraged rappers in their companies to target RM. He was an easy target because of his name and because Big Hit had no power to protect him in those days.
Just a small note for those who don't know yet, RM debuted as RapMonster, but felt he outgrew that label. He changed it to RM in 2017, and said it could stand for a variety of things including "Real Me".
Just one comment to add. The beat RM rapped over is by Run the Jewels, oh My Darling ((Don't Cry).
Agree with the other commentors you guys are hilarious and dogs are gorgeous
It's called Joke because it is a joke. He is making fun of the 'rappers' who are saying RM can't rap, but themselves are thinking they are the best rappers out there just because they can rap fast but they just have crappy lyrics. RM is mocking them in this song. He is rapping fast while having lyrics that don't make much sense. He even said "this is an unmeaningful wordplay". He is making fun of those "rappers"
This came out March 2015. That was a time RM was getting a lot of criticism for misogynistic lyrics. He has said he has old songs he regrets. I wonder if this is one of them since it is, in fact, misogynistic. Probably the only rapper ever to do this, he eventually started having his lyrics looked over by a women's studies professor as he became more enlightened. Mind-blowing. When BTS was still trying to maintain a tough image, he drew from the culture around him and the American rap he grew up listening to. It's no wonder he used these things as insults to burn critics and bad rappers. The song is a masterpiece of technique and wordplay. Looking at it as the work of a developing artist really opens up a lot to think about. You can see his brilliance, and also his lack of sensitivity. It's also really interesting to compare it to Ddaeng - another diss track the rap line dropped 3 years later. Compared to the Big D contest that is Joke, his language in Ddaeng is so sophisticated it's like the finest made sword. You don't even know you've been cut in half until the two parts start sliding. 😅
My life? 🤣you might get more out of these rap songs if you look up and share with us the explanation videos that go with these before you do the song, you won't have to pause so much. just an idea. Rm can kick major ass and he was over all the hate and crap. and just decided to hit back and show them all up.In fact eminem's comment about this song was , He's 100% right and that went hard. who was this at? again, explanation video is great for Joke, and almost all intense rap from RM. and Suga.
Hello guys.
This song is amazing, the lyrics is really dope, please i want react to monster by RM of the first mixtape,this song is dope too.
Thans for react.
Если ещё никто не писал, советую к прошлушиваню BTS - Louder than bombs
You should react to BTS more often because they have a lot of stuff which you have to catch up on. And also their solo stuff is also coming out gradually and a lot of news on them and their personal life. Also you have so much songs to react too which will take a lot of your time. It's a request!!!!!! 💜
6:30 yeah samsung all the way honestly, I recently switsched to iphone just to check it out and boy does it SUVK
When they release as BTS, they generally consider their mainstream audience and moderate their language (not that they don't curse at all, but a lot less). When they release mixtapes under their own names, the gloves come off.
BTS is a unique boybands. they're so different from previous boybands, they're not like Backstreetboys, Nsync or One direction. they're not cute guys who just sing a love song 😉
Please react to bts cypher 1-4.
I agree.. Cypher 1 to 4 👌
OOF WHAT A SONG TO HAVE EARLY ON IN YOUR LISTENING JOURNEY. Definitely showcases his skill, talent, and ability at one end of the spectrum, that most people either forget about or gloss over, or try to discredit because of the "pop" and/or BTS group side. Tons of double-meaning laced throughout this, aside from the fact it's nothing but bars and multiple flows. Glad you guys enjoyed it a lot!
Edit: saying now as you continue the journey (if you do) that for some of the BTS rap trio songs, to also watch DKDK TV videos afterwards breaking down the meaning for some from a Korean language and culture context (songs: Bapsae (Silver Spoon), Ddaeng, and UGH!).
Don't worry guys, we Stan BTS aka the guys who have been roasting each other for a decade but love each other unconditionally 😂 So we don't mind your little roasting time at the beginning 😂
Three full seconds of stunned silence for the polyglot. 🤣🤣🤣
Please reaction to Agustd - what do you think, it's song by Suga
RM is an artist i respect alot
You gotta check his mixtape titled RM (joke is one of its tracks)
It was amazing and also his new one mono and album indigo were incredible.
His collaborations withliki nas X (str) , Walle , Warren G, krizz kaliko, FOB , Honne, Erykah Badu, Andreson Park and many korean artists
He is very very talented from childhood and was famous in ug hip hop seen.
Writes and raps in 3 laguages , is amazing lyrically, and has a big hand behind the formation and success of BTS
He was the reason behind the group formation. He is very, very imp . Behind the success,
I admire him a lot.
This is carrying many phrases, double triple meanings, and rhymes both connecting eng and korean . You'll know more about how he is a lyrical genius along the way.
He is very good at lyrics like that.
He is known for his work in the sk music scene . Esp. In hip hop
So, about the Korean hiphop scene ... RM aka rap monster was active and famous in underground rap scene since 13 14 year old , he had a big fanbase then as well and they were upset when he became an idol ; he is called son by the biggest k hiphop artist tigerJk who he has collaborated with also RM calls him dad as well
His RM mixtape is on bts soundcloud, and he is the only k hiphop artist to ever make to spins ww hiphop albums list that year and till now
His 2nd mixtape mono is a beautiful masterpiece recently released. You should check both out, as well as his collaborations
He recently released his solo album indigo.
He has 210+ track credits on his name, and mono has 106 itunes 1 as first and only asian artist
He has outgrown his rap monster stage name but it was a part of his journey and changing it to RM was his decision because he thought the older name restricted his growth (to rap only) , we respect his decision, he is an amazing amazing artist!
I love the dog introductions in the middle of RM rappping his head off 😅
난 랩에 큰관심은 없었는데 내가 좋아하는
방탄소년단이 부르는건 다 좋은거 같아요
무조건적이다 보다는 내가 듣기에도 좋구
믿고듣는거죠~^^ 좋은하루들 보내세용
And to think he hates his past persona...I absolutely love this side of him.
Wow I love the spin the wheel concept.. so cool and fun!!!!!!
Just a reminder BTS was a rap/hiphop group from the start. It's only over time that they changed their sound but they have always been true to themselves in their lyrics and exploration of different musical genres.
jajajaj JOKE
You guys can pause to read the lyrics or have the lyrics on the side if you want😭🤣🤣🤣
RM is a genius. This song is basically him flexing his skills and showing ppl that he too can rap fast but rapping fast does not necessarily means youre a good rapper. Mannn hes a genius idk what else to tell u. The way he made fun of the how some rap (in this song) and twist it and still rhyme w it. Sigh. Man's a genius. Thats all. He ended the song w HIT ME, no one dared after 😂
as a multilingual, i can say that switching between languages is easier for us than to stick to one language
some things on ur reel are nonsense for example ''X example god s menue'' or ''MANIAC'' ''BACK DOOR'' ''THUNDEROUS''
They aren't nonsense, they just aren't BTS. They are songs that others have requested in comments of their BTS reactions.
