You'll see a trend with BTS diss tracks. They don't name names, they just spark the flintstones and watch everyone else burn themselves down.

Real fact Suga said: Senior rappers in underground scene were afraid rap against 15 year old RM the underground rapper

I think you're one of the very few reactors who actually got the meaning of the diss and the "Joke" XD...loved the reaction!

Namjoons lyrics are like peeling an onion, there are so many layers to just one line, don't piss the boy off, he'll come at you. As an Idol he has to put on a specific persona all innocent and clean and when people put him down for it, he can't do anything about it but smile, but when solo, he vents all that pent up bullsh*t and here is a prime example. RM is one of the best rappers in the world today, he has substance in lyrics.

he's not dissing a$ap he's actually a fan. and he's not dissing the other countries, that was just him flexing about his global status by mentioning countries he performed in thereby dissing rappers who won't make it internationally.

Best part of the song is at the end when he says "Hit Me". No one ever did reply.

idk if you noticed but there was actually no chorus in this song or anything close to a normal structure of a song. If I remember correctly, he used 9 different flows in this and was so seamless with the transitions, you barely notice most of them

You are legitimately the only reactor I've ever seen who actually understood the point of this rap, lol. Check out RM's song Do You!

This song was RM responding to those rappers like you said, because they said he no longer had Flow now that he became an Idol instead of an underground rapper. He said even when he's saying lyrics that don't make sense, he's still got Flow and better than them.

It's fun to see a reactor actually being smart enough to decipher this message from the first listen. Since some of his messages aren't really on the nose, like joke, which as you rightfully realized is kind of meta in itself, many don't actually realize his genius. Taking the techniques from other rappers, to show that he can do all that, but chooses not to. Flexing on them, while calling their skills useless. It's a genius move. Naming the song joke is the cherry on top for me. "Yeah, I just used 9 different flows back to back, showing of my flawless rhyme scheme, but it was just a joke to me, actually I don't needa do all that shit, to make actual good music."

The "bibbidi bobbidi" bit is basically him mocking all the mumble rappers out there with their grade one lyrics. It's pure genius honestly.

He’s got a 148 IQ, so he’s super smart. Some of the words are just for the sake of rhyming, and some are lumped together to make fun of people.

9 flows, no chorus, straight bars! 🔥 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. Masterpiece! BTW he has an IQ of 148 and you'll see why his lyrics always have double meanings. HE'S THAT IMPRESSIVE 🔥🔥🔥

First time I've ever heard anyone understand the complexity that is RM. Intelligent reaction, thank you.

Haters kept saying he can’t rap fast so he came out with this “joke” showing how others that rap fast have no structure or meaning to their song like he did and that you need to think about structure and meaning and bars in a good pace and he’s literally mocking them .

This was a great reaction, you got the point of the title! It's like RM is pointedly telling others "this is just a joke in the end" like he goes this hard but he finds the whole thing to be a joke and he's not being serious about it. So when he does actually get serious...?

What he's saying in part is that all of the rappers that ragged on him for joining BTS and saying that he gave up his* rap card*; He's saying they're talking crap. He basically can rap gibberish and still be better than them. *middle fingers up!*

Your interpretation is very insightful, I am always impressed by your understanding of BTS's lyrics and general music intentions especially because you just started to know them and you have less context information than other youtube reactors

Wow!!!!! Thankyou for actually analyzing his lyrics. Unlike most people who doesnt care to figure out the lyrics and the meaning of Joke. Thankyou💜 it really shows that you love rap.

RM isn't dissing A$AP, he's just saying that he's crediting the lines by A$AP about Tupac.

He doesn't breathe the entire time. It's great. I love this song.

There is actually a really good eng lyrics version with the original Joke MV, it's just that the one on BTS's channel doesn't have eng sub. Link in reply below.

He's mentioning some of the countries he's been to not as a diss to artists from those countries. More to his haters that have never traveled like he does.

First time I've ever seen someone actually understand the whole meaning behind the song. I'm subscribing ❤️ this is the type of intelligent content I want rather than all those reactors who just jump around and overreact

Rm do you xD is another good one Thanks and good reaction

If any BTS rapper mentions another rapper the're not dissing them but acknowledging them. Anyways loved the reaction!! Now you're only missing a J-HOPE song. Also I think you would like BTS's Hip-Hoppfile/ HIP-HOP LOVER.

RM comes for mumble rappers ALOT in the track

amazing reaction 💜🇬🇧💜 He went this hard with a deviated septum and breathing problems (all fixed now) He’s legit 🔥

RM is 2nd fastest rapper in kpop 11.8 syllables per second. Warren G has appreciated RM many times

OMGAHHH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE YOU REACT TO THIS!!! FINALLY LOL !! Joke is one of my favourite RM solo songs!!! He seriously aint playin'!!! BUT I GOTTA SAY, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR MEAN RAP CHECK OUT THE CYPHERS!!!!! SUGA....THATS ALL IM GOING TO SAY. PERIOD. okay now that you know what RM is all about....YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT THE BTS RAPLINE (RM, J-HOPE & SUGA) CYPHERS..THERE ARE 4 PARTS!!! PLEASE!!! YOU THINK THIS IS CRAZY...YOU WONT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THOSE CYPHERS!!!! PS. there is a music video to "joke". Also, check out Suga's solo song "August D" and finally another RM solo called "DO YOU". KEEP YOUR CAPTIONS ON! Enjoy and can't wait to see these reactions.

THANK YOUUUUU💜💜💜💜. IF YOU WANT MORE RECOMMENDATIONS I GOT YOU FAM!!!

Thank you for your reaction! I love it and hope to see more of RM‘s reaction from you. He‘s a wordplay genius and an amazing rapper! I would recommend Do you.

Finally! Someone who truly understands RM’s Joke!

I think the lyrics about Sweden Germany Brazil and Japan was about how his fame reaches many countries, while the rappers he bashes have got a small reach and their fan base is only in Korea Like the words : The few hip-hop fangirls at Hongdae variety shows are your regulars

What i love about BTS is that they don't even drop names ..or sumthing like that in their diss..they just drop a bomb and watch everyone making it about them

You have to react to buckubucku ft RM and EE please 😭😭😭😭😭its a huge bop

Finally someone that understands rap

I LOVE that you got it! So many people miss the meaning but you hit it! Rm is a lyrical master, the wordplay is amazing and his command and control over two languages and complex beats. Rm is a real genius. His IQ is 148. RM really takes lyrics seriously. So glad you enjoyed this. New sub here!

I always love your reactions because you take time to give the lyrics and content genuine thought and consideration and try to understand them instead of glossing over it and hearing your analysis is interesting. Really appreciate your reactions! If you like this kind of track you would likey enjoy the cyphers done by all three rappers that were included on BTS albums. J-hope has a solo mixtape as well and his style is different from RM's and SUGA's but he's very good. I would recommend Airplane and Baseline. And if you want to see the versatility they have as rappers, check out songs like People off of AGUST D's latest mixtape (D-2) and RM's recent mixtape called mono.

💜🇧🇷💜RM is no joke!!! He is The Rap Monster!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks

Appreciate it, would love to see you do more of RM's stuff! I personally really like "God Rap" from his first mixtape (he used a cole sample) and "Forever Rain" from mono, which has a slower tempo and shows a more vulnerable side.

I'm so happy for you to discover the treasure chest of BTS! Can't wait to go on this journey with you!

You are the first reactor that got the meaning of the song from the outset. Good for you! I appreciated your review. Thank you. 💜

this song of rm talking about people that doubt about his talent and him he doesnt speak about countries. a lot of people they run their mouth about him when he started his career and through this song shows his talent and where he is now without forgetting where he was

if you don’t know, BTS has a rap line group in BTS. Rap Line was formed with the members: RM, Jhope, Suga. They all made songs together and some songs rap solo’s. They all have very good, fire flo !! Thank you for not talk over the video, because a lot of just talked over the rap, and it makes me mad. RAP LINE SONGS: 1: UGH (LYRICS) 2: BTS CYPHERS (1-4) RM: rm started rapping in local amateur hip-hop circles with his self-composed recordings. RM started his career in the music world as a solo underground artist with the stage name ‘Runch Randal’. RM became a trainee for Big Hit Entertainment in 2010. RM is the first member to join BTS and he is a awesome, careful, humble leader of BTS. In 2015, he released his first solo mixtape, ‘RM’. In October 2018, his second mixtape ‘Mono’. was the highest-charting album by a Korean soloist on the Billboard 200 chart, having peaked at number 26. He has a recorded with artists such as Wale, Younha, Warren G, Gaeko, Krizz Kaliko, MFBTY, Fall Out, Boy, Primary and Lil NAS X. RM RAP SONGS: 1: Ddaeng (ft Suga, Jhope) 2: Forever Rain (MV & LYRICS) 3: Do You (MV & LYRICS) 4: everythinggoes (LYRICS) 5: moonchild (LYRICS) 6: 4 O’CLOCK (LYRICS) 7: Change (LYRICS) Jhope: J-Hope released his first solo mixtape, Hope World, in 2018. the album was met with a positive reception, and its subsequent debut and peak at number 63 and 38 respectively, made him the highest-charting solo Korean artist on the US Billboard 200 at the time. In September 2019, he released the single “Chicken Noodle Soup” featuring Becky G. It debuted at number 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100, which made him the first member of BTS with a Hot 100 hit under his own name. JHOPE SONGS: 1: Hope World (MV & LYRICS) 2: Chicken Noodle Soup w/ Becky G (MV & LYRICS) 3: Outro: Ego (LYRICS & MV) 4: Day Dream (MV & LYRICS) 5: Blue Side (OUTRO) (LYRICS) 6: Boy Meets Evil (LYRICS) (MV) Suga: Min Yoongi of BTS’S backstory in particular is one which used to consist of pain, hardship, and depression. Born of Daeugu, South Korea, he belonged to a very poor family. Though he was poor he used to go to school but instead of paying attention to the class he would write song lyrics on scraps and pieces of paper. Since a child he dreamed of becoming a singer. He did mention that when he was in sixth grade he was i inspired to make music after listening to “Epik High”. His lyrics are mostly about dissing haters and depression but he does make fire, good, fast raps with Jhope & RM. SUGA RAP SONGS: 1: Daechwita (MV & LYRICS) 2: First Love (LYRICS) 3: Honsool (LYRICS) 4: Agust D (MV & LYRICS)

I really enjoy your reactions. You react, but you also analyze, and I appreciate that. If you’d like more info on RM, there’s a new channel called Bangtan Boot Camp that did a video a couple weeks ago and it’s the best I’ve ever seen. They go into examples of how his wordplay is so impressive. I believe they’re planning to do intros for the other members too.

Finally , BTS's reaction . Thank you )

I just love the way you react on this joke of rm your were the one who actually got what is joke about ❤❤

I just can't get over how he can seamlessly switch between Korean and English.

I like your reaction and for sure Namjoon (RM) is the best rapper I'v ever seen try to listen to his other rap songs like (do you) and (I believe) much love.

Yesssss was waiting on you reactinng to this lol you got it spot on pretty much. RM's answer to all the criticism/hate he received from his peers... apparently they didn't see him as a real rapper lol 😂 The guys a friggin genius.. only fully appreciated when you you watch the explanation videos 💜

This was a great review! Probably the best I have seen of RM. You got it 👌

1st time seeing you and love you reaction. You got the meaning of this song. Really enjoyed it and yes I hit that subscribed button! Gonna binge on the rest of your BTS reactions.Sending love from Aus 🇦🇺💜 😊

Wowwww literally you nailed it on the first listen so impressive!

I am 100% subscribing to you. Your reactions actually give useful insight and show your understanding of the genre as a whole. Great job!!!

You are just great. Thanks so much.

Please react to rm monster it flow there is fire

I'm impressed! You got the meaning/message behind the song which most reactors wouldn't know. And because of that, i subscribe 😉💜

i subbed bc of this reaction. thank u for understanding RMs mindset

This gets me so hype

Your reaction did not disappoint! Loving your uploads, keep it up!💜

namjoon é surreal

Quadruple threat!!!! 1st time I’ve heard that one. Great reaction...

This is why ARMY appreciate it when people take the time to look at the English translation of the lyrics and understand what they're singing/rapping about. I mean yeah, they have their hype songs, of course, but a lot of their music has some sort of message or thought they want to convey, too. Thank you for this video!

Thanks for the reaction. As a "Hip-Hop Head" you should probably know that the beat is from a Run the Jewels song. I've watched so many reactions to this song, but no one seems to know that. It's a shame because Run the Jewels is great, and RM kills it over this beat.

Woaahh, so you got the meaning of this track...you're the only reactor I watch that actually found that 😂😂 thank you

I like your reaction, he's amazing really amazing

So this vid came up in my recomends i loved it so much looked at the other stuff u reacted to and saw nf....my dude ur journey with him needs to start from mansion but gonna check out what u have so far u def got a new sub

Stare all you want my man... I'm already subscribed. 😜

BROOO REACT TO RM DO YOU!!!

hongdae is a university. the "hongdae variety" is most likely a reference to the street near the university where amateurs go to do song cover or dance covers. they're all crowded on that one street and perform at the same time. basically a street for busking

I love your reactions (and not just the BTS ones!) I enjoy reactors that actually bring something to the table whether it is the cinematography, dancing, singing, etc. And now I have found one that goes through lyrics. Honestly, I enjoy BTS because of their honest and poetic lyrics. To piggy back on other comments, I hope you have a chance to react to or at least listen to Ddaeng and watch the DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng. The number of meanings the word Ddaeng can take on in a 3 minute song is mind blowing.

You got it on point!💜

Thatz our Monster !! 😎😆💜😘

I'm over here clapping and grinning ear to ear. I miss this era of RM's solo work. I love his more intellectual, philosophical lyrics, don't get me wrong, but oh how he used to EVICERATE the competition.

I'm like a year late but I don't see any comments about this but RM wasn't dissing the 4 nations saying their rappers have dirty tongues.... those are the countries he just toured through so he's flexing that he has global reach/audience to these dope countries. RM doesn't disrespect whole countries :) especially those specific ones listed

Pleaseeee react to his song “Monster” , it’s off the same mixtape this song was on

This is so intense!!! Thanks for breaking it down! 😏

I’m glad to see someone finally take the time and acknowledge what he means behind what he says! Like he said in the part about “meaningless wordplay”, he’s just showing how much he can say gibberish and STILL be better than the ones that say “fast rap=talent” which is a reason it’s called Joke!

Love it

Really like youre reaction to my bias baby rm❤

The MV is even better. Dark but really good

You got that exactly right!

DID I JUST BECOME A SUBSCRIBER? yep!! please react to Who is BTS and BTS from nobodies to legends 2019 they're both from celeste. I appreciate how you actually pause and understand the lyics and give your opinions in this video. Hope to see these videos i suggested soon! let me know if u need a link ;)))

Hi i just saw your vid in recommendation. I love your reaction because you get what namjoon really meant. Btw, You should check hiphop lovers by bts that song indicates how they got into hiphop.

RM has a really high IQ, super smart. Then there were so many underground and popular rappers that gave him and Suga shit for joining BTS, saying they sold out and that real rappers wouldn't do that. There were ever rappers giving them grief who openly admitted they had never listened to BTS or any of the BTS rap or their dolo rap

like #1000 uff, my TOC is happy now ñ_ñ

Just found your channel off of the nf video thought you would be bigger I like how you actually react and talk about the stuff going on. I recommend something from token my fav album by him is somewhere in-between so any song in their would be good or code red.

Brilliant reaction!! I'm really impressed that you got the meaning behind the song and the lyrics on a first watch, not many reactors get it. You should also react to the Cypher series, where BTS destroy their haters.

I hope u can react to his old mixtape.. Its bop.. Tq 4 reacting.. I'm gonna subscribe..

No shots at A$AP. He is doing what good rappers do. He is using ASAP's lyrics and acknowledging the author. "You must feel envious of my pay Sweden, Germany, Brazil to Japan" is not a diss at foreign rappers but at Korean underground rappers. Notice the word to. He left the underground to become an Idol rapper and this was a list of some of the countries he as leader of very young Idol group BTS visited while the antis were stuck doing underground clubs.

We wasn't named "rap monster" for nothing they were afraid of him when he is still in the underground rapper... Try reacting to ddaeng it was lit it is his way of proving that he can still rap the way a rapper should be

Rm 💜😘

loved your videos💯 subscribed/ side note. RM was a underground rapper so was Suga ,one who was also underground with RM was Changmo who i recommend to check out on Dingo killing verse there you can get a glimpse of other k-hiphop artist

The video is good, it just doesn't have captions, LOL.

You are smart. Periodt.

RM is amazing. I think you'll also really enjoy Year of the Ox - Captain America and Twighlight Zone. Incredible Korean-American rappers.

U got the meaning of the tittle of these song so right....

Best joke's reaction

Still my favorite reaction to Joke, ever. 😘
