What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly & download my new album ‘Chaos Theory’ now 🖤 www.knoxhillmusic.com

7:12 no Supreme Boi isn't a part of BTS. He works at their company as a producer and songwriter. He was suposed to be a part of BTS before they changed from being debuted as a hip-hop group to being debuted as a k-pop group instead.

Fun fact, in Korean an euphemism for orgasming is "going to Hong Kong" and in Suga's verse his exact lyric is "I'll take you to Hong Kong" basically.

So the reference to who J-hope was talking about, rappers trying to rap in english has to be a reference to a korean rapper named B-Free. B-free is a korean underground rapper who was born and raised in Hawaii, so he does tend to use a lot of english in his raps. Suga and RM were established underground rappers, they've both taken part in a number of underground rap competitions. From the age of 12 RM was already well known in those circles, which is just crazy. Originally bts was supposed to be a hip hop rap group like 1TYM. When the decision was made to make them an idol group instead and after they debuted as such, a lot of their old circle couldn't handle it. One of those people was B-free, who insulted rm and suga to their faces on a show and called them girls who wear make up, and said he found it personally disgusting. He said that bts betrayed hip hop and sold out for money, made fun of their stage names, bighit's ceo pd bang, and just would not stop. The ARMY that were there filmed the interaction. Because RM and Suga don't have such rudeness in them, and because they were the youngest people in the room (there is a common hierarchy of respect in korea that is largely built on age), they sat there and took it while this grown ass "underground rapper" condescended and talked down to them, b-free who was literally 10+ years older than them (30). RM and suga were polite and took it well, just very calmly trying to explain their thoughts. But the incident greatly upset ARMY, and so they decided to put all the things they wanted to say in their music. And they all just went savage on this dude on the beat, which is what you see here with even j-hope like "get your dusty english rapping out my face." But of the 3, the one person who has never taken his foot of b-free's neck is Suga. Suga even saying "why don't you go back to hawaii" and "just like your parents my heart hurts looking at you." as well as a multitude of other things. I believe the entire agust d track is about him and these conceited underground rappers with him saying "y'all need to thank me that i decided to become an idol." And of course, B-free's career has never recovered. It's been in free fall ever since. To this day his shit gets a ton of dislikes even though he has apologized publicly twice. He is a pariah even in underground circles. And in the ultimate karma of writing checks your ass can't cash, homeboy got arrested and jailed the day Suga's Dwaechita came out which is just... chef's kiss.

Bts songs that knox hill should react to: Rm - Joke Bts - 2nd grade Bts - we are bulletproof pt 1 Bts - we are bulletproof pt 2 Bts - cypher pt 4

the "Pippi" part is actually "beeper" (rough translation) and he's basically saying "all the girls, call me, page me" like calling him on a beeper

Hey KnoxHill! Kagemusha is the Japanese term for a political decoy, literally meaning "shadow warrior". 11:19 Here Suga is saying that everything you see on TV is kagemusha, meaning a smoke courtain to cover things up.

This cypher is probably one of the best live performances due to Suga's part at 12:45. While on stage he pulls out a watch that is on his wrist and literally times himself on how long he takes to say the verse but also shows how long he is able to rap without a single breath in between. Man is a legend

RM changed lyrics *when guys are smoking and girls are cheating* to *when someone is smoking and someone is cheating* because he don't want to target a particular gender for it so he changed it.

I don't know if you noticed but when RM said turn the beat backwards the beat actually turned backwards And In Japanese, kagemusha is a term used to denote a political decoy.

with 14 studio albums , 5 solo mixetapes and an game album ... u still have a lot to discover BTS are slaying it since 8 years ... and the funny thing is a song named BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS ..

The Cypher series is like their response to the haters they've gotten over the years. You'll notice in Cypher Pt. 4 it's almost like the last message to them! I won't spoil anymore but you'll see why it is labeled as their "last" cypher and there is not an official pt.5

BTS was invited by Seo Taiji and Boys to join them on stage for their 25th anniversary and sing the song "Come Back Home". They were also asked/allowed by Taiji to record their own version. It has a West Coast vibe to the beat and I think it gets overlooked. It is 100% worth checking out. :) The original was released in 1995 and the BTS version was 2017. Supreme Boi is an in-house producer from BigHit (BTS' label/company) and was ALMOST a member of BTS. All four of the cyphers were aimed at their haters, mainly from the Korean underground HipHop scene that said they were sell-outs and not "real rappers" for being "idols".

One of the first songs I heard when I started looking into BTS. That's when I went "oooh American media is doing them dirty by pigeonholing them". The perception I had of them by American music media before and the reality was stark.

Day 5 of suggesting Hip Hop Lover (a song that truly shows how deeply BTS respect the genre/culture)

supreme boi is the part of the producing team of BTS. he is also a solo rapper. he was a former trainee with RM and yoongi. But when their CEO Mr BANG PD said that the grp won't be a hip hop grp but will be an idol grp he confessed that he can't become the member but rather take part as a producer and he featured here as a rapper and he is talented indeed.

BTS songs that I really want you to react for soon: 1. BTS-DDAENG 2. RM-PERSONA 3. BTS-DOPE Pleasee, I think you'll like it(*>.

You are not ready for CYPHER MEDLEY LIVE!!!!!!please react to it

I think for the next you should definitely do Cypher Pt. 4 and then check out their medley performance. It shows Pts. 1-4 with them performing all of pt.4 while they each get to rap one part in 1-3. (J-Hope raps his lines in pt.1, Suga raps his lines pt. 2 and RM raps lines pt. 3 then they all do pt. 4)

Agust D :What do you think? BTS: Tomorrow Suga: Shadow BTS airplane pt2 BTS the truth untold Jimin Filter, serendipity Jungkook euphoria, begin Jin epiphany, moon.. Rm persona , do you Jhope daydream, ego.. V stigma, singularity BTS DANGER BTS TEAR

BTS Changed my view on music and I'm so glad to see they're doing the same to everyone around the world!

Thanks for reacting to BTS it really means a lot to ARMYs.

Omg I‘m so hyped for the BTS Livestream😍😭

I'll be here waiting for his out of body experience when he reacts to Outro: Tear

I recommend Intro: Persona, Interlude: Shadow, and Outro: Ego! I think you would like breaking them down. Also I think you would really like RM’s mixtape (which is called RM). Thank you so much for the genuine reactions!

I think you need to step into JHope's and RM's solo stuff -given how you've reacted to Suga's solos; RM justifies why he's called Rap Monster, and J-Hope spins the aggressiveness associated with Hip-Hop and Rap to make it lighter, more uplifting.

Just to add! It may have already been said but when RM said ‘turn the beat backwards’ the beat literally did go backwards 😅

I have to say - and mind you, I’ve been ARMY lovin rap line for 7 years - and you are the first “rapper” (and a fucking good one) that gets what they’re saying. You got MAD skill and I am literally on the edge of my seat waiting for you to watch the DKDK TV explained DDANG ( which is pronounced like dang) and then watching you melt at the lyrical talent. I’m old. I grew up in D-Town (Detroit) whole Em was coming up. Showing my age but I was at eight mile and that movie hit close. KRS-ONE and Ice-T Freedom of Speech is my home. I saw Ice do Cop Killer at Lalapaloza. This is a long and rambling way of me saying in every way, you right and you tight. Keep it up man. You’re an intellectual and and those are the rappers that matter.

I just finished binge-watching your BTS break downs and here I am getting another break down T.T thanksss

DIS MY FAV CYPHER Ok u did do 1 & 2 can't wait for Cypher 4

I can’t wait for him to react to Cypher pt.4 and then ddeang and outro: tear. Hopefully he will react to Suga's rap songs: Seesaw, So far away ft. Suran and First love as well.

Knox, I just want to say I love your BTS breakdowns so much. This may be a long comment so stick with me. It’s so refreshing seeing such a talented rapper like yourself really appreciate them. I truly think you’d benefit from looking at the proper lyrics on doolset or similar that explains them better just to aid your reactions. It’s just that I’d hate for you to miss out on the genius of some of these lyrics because honestly, these translations are really not good. I hope that’s okay to suggest. Thanks again man and also thank you for doing your own thing. People can get a lot of hate if they connect to BTS, they are so misjudged so I hope you know that we really are thankful for you not following the crowd. If you didn’t like their music and wanted to stop reacting to them, then that’s also okay too of course, but you’re killing it as always 🔥 I really am a big fan of yours 🙏

I have this uneducated feeling that BTS rap being appreciated by American rappers will slowly, surely and importantly raise the standards of rap here. I'm all for genius lyrics and creative, unexpected flows like this...so refreshing and necessary to raise the bar. PLEASE help raise the bar!

I said it before and I'll say it again. In terms of rap, no kpop group comes close to BTS' rap line and their word play. Whenever l hear that they'll release a new song, l can't help but get excited about what they've been working on. Was never disappointed

Yay more BTS rapline 😁

Knox bro!! Thank you! Yeah the translations are not accurate but you get the overall message. A side note - they do the whole of cypher 4 in the live medley 🔥 Also Supreme boi is another rapper/producer but not part of BTS. He features on some of their raps 😊

Literally been waiting for this one and pt 4. I clicked the notification soooo fast.

I really can’t wait for you to do “Joke” by RM! Thanks for another great reaction/dissection 😊

BTS - Outro: Tear RM - Persona Suga - Shadow J-Hope - Ego

Supreme Boi is one of the Producer in BigHit n he often co-produced BTS songs

I can't wait for the bts livestream!! Also after finishing the Cypher series I want you to listen to RM's Joke! Or if you wanna see all the three rappers, then see ddaeng!!

Legend has it that there is a V still dabbing to this day (if you know, you know)

I really need you to react to CYPHER MEDLEY LIVE that's where you can see them rapping in all its glory

All I can say is cypher medley live. You'll love it. Have a good day!

4:57 he says *you're like a sewer and i'm savory* >> this is basically some genius and funny wordplay: you should pay attention to the part right before that, he said "turn the beat backwards",, i'm not really sure what that should mean in English since i'm not a native English speaker, so i'll just tell u the original Korean meaning " *turn the words backward* , you're a sewer, i'm savory" Wordplay here: sewer in Korean is spelled "하수구" and savory in Korean is spelled "구수하다" if u look closely, the spelling of "하수구" is the same as '"구수하"다' flipped backwards so in summary, *this- "하수구">>"구수하"다 - is what happened*

I think the KZfaqrs who get the most from being a reactor are people in the music or video sector, such as musicians, vocalists, dancers, rappers and video editors and producers ... because they not only get fun but also get learning from what they see. such as movement, vocal technique, flow, and editing.

Omg I love that you said you loved Cypher 1 and 2, but 3 seemed like they leveled up! I always thought that's how it went, you love 1, but then you're like damn 2 is even better. Then you hear 3 and you're like sheeesh they got even better. And then cypher pt 4? Even BETTER. I hope you listen to part 4 soon and I also recommend Outro: Tear. At first the song seems like it's about a breakup between lovers, but BTS came out to say it was really about their feelings about BTS possibly breaking up, and it made that song so much sadder. I hope you listen to them soon!

Ahhh so excited for this! Hope you’re feeling better dude 🙌

RM "Joke" Appreciate the reactions, been watching way before your k-pop reactions, but super excited you started down this road!! Keep 'em coming!! :)

my favorite CYPHER with CYPHER 4 ! I am always so hyped

The fact that these three has so different rapping styles but somehow blend so well together

Supreme Boi is a producer and rapper under Big Hit (now HYBE) with BTS. He was actually supposed to debut in the original BTS group when they were supposed to debut as a Hip-hop group but chose not to when they were decided to debut as Kpop idols instead. He works a lot with the boys especially the rapine (RM, Suga, J-Hope)!

I love your way of reacting to bts (kpop in general) because you actually try to understand the message and analize the rap. There are so many reactors who only do this for money and only say what the fans want to hear - so thank you

The live for this goes HARD! Thank you Knox - we really appreciate your bts breakdowns !

I like The fact that he isnt trying to look like A rapper but he definitely has the knowledge of the rap itself, like he clearly can point out the rap part that's worth it to get praise 👌It's really satisfiying to watch his reaction video

Thank you so much for reacting to bts this week. I literally wait for Monday the whole week to get your reactions on kpop. Love your reactions so much . Keep going❤️

I cannot WAIT for him to finish the cyphers and react to their Cypher Medley Live!! It’s truly something else🔥

I love how u verbally and physically imitate the flow lol 🕺bada🕺baba🕺bam

He would love joke by RM 🥰

The live of this has J Hope chirping a phone at the "iPhone" part hahaha 😆 🤣 our adlib king plus Kookie is nasty with adlibs too!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sewer vs savory is a KR wordplay, if you see the romanization: neon hasugu --> play the beat backwards --> nan gusuha(ji) where the first one means "you sewer" and the second one is "I savory" (tasty?) ;)

YESSSS KNOXXXX Haven't even started yet and I am so excited

12:00 and the way he switchs his voice to baby-talking/sweet voice while saying that makes me go 😳🥵🔥

Your reactions are literally the best! I love how you break down the lyrics and your own songs are literally great! You have real taste in music... keep up the good work !! 💜💜

4:49 the beat actually turn backwards :)

Been waiting for this, pt 4 and JOKE by rm 💜💜 thank you!

Thank you for reaction, I waited this all week ❤

So Happy You Did Cypher pt 3 .. And now i'm waiting for Pt 4🤩🤩 And Also ''THE LAST by AGUST D'' I hope you'd do a Reaction to it

Kagemusha (Shadow Warrior) is a political decoy, employed by the busho (Japanese military commander) as his straw man. He is saying that half of what is on TV is fake. (explanation by doolset)

im loving your BTS discovery series, I just cant wait until you finally get into the whole BTS. As for now you've mostly seen the rap line but man, once you get into the whole thing...The combination of rap, with vocals and dance. Plus great performances and incredible talent. You'll be mind blown. Their live performances are incredible! You'll need to watch the MMA 2019 full performance, promise you wont regret it.

I’ve watched a few of your reviews just today and I have to say that I really appreciate the way you dissect lyrics and the music!

Finally!!! I was waiting for this !!! Thanks

Woooooooooo we got BTS Live on the 24th? :O :O :O I love you! And your music too!

BTS livestream? I'm all in!

One thing cool about the rap line is that the play a lot with their voices so you know they are not doing playback when they sing it live. That’s what really makes them different from the other idols who rap. Like you said, these are real MC.

Nice reaction ! I'm looking forward to the last part (pt.4)😇💫

All the cyphers are basically directed at their haters. I’m sure you’ve seen previous comments go into more detail about this but it was their way of being able to address all the prejudice and discrimination they so often received coming up. I’m sure you’ve noticed that even to this day, this still happens but they wanted to have their say and prove themselves as rappers/songwriters and boy, they did just that!

you need to react also to "born singer" where they tell their life stories before becoming idols and everything they suffered

They truly just keep getting better, just wait until you get into more of the Rapline songs. Amazing reaction today Knox. Can't wait to see what is in store next. I'm excited for your live next Monday!

I really looove your reactions!! I´m glad you enjoy the boys

Yess I've been waiting for this, I thought you forgot abt this lmfao

Hi Knox. I hope you see this as I’ve been in the wings for a while and just wanted to comment my appreciation. You are truly amazing at breakdowns - so intelligent and well-articulated. I learn so much. I am also very thankful that you continue to be open-minded with your reaction choices. I appreciate there is a real misconception about bts but I’m hoping your breakdowns will help change that a little, as they are so talented, especially as rappers. Excited to continue on this journey with you.

I’ve been waiting for this. Hope you feel better soon.

Love your reactions to the rapline, they're insane and is so good to hear someone who actually understands talking about them

After you react to Cypher part 4, when you watch the live version, make sure not to turn on the subtitles, because they are completely wrong. :) The live version is a medley of all 4 cyphers together. :) Just study the lyrics for all 4, and you will enjoy yourself when you see them performing live. ;) @Knox Hill

Now, you gotta do the 4th one and Joke by RM

I was waiting for this from so long thank you knoxx 💜💜

Thanks for taking the time to do such an insightful breakdown. It was very interesting and informative.

React to blood sweat and tears by BTS next!

RM JOKE AND DO YOU!! JHOPE HOPEWORLD AND AIRPLANE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH KNOX!!

Stop I've been waiting for this for so long 😩 finallyy

RM JOKE, straight up bars!!! He does not breath 🤯🤯💜💜

I think you would really like Suga's Interlude: Shadow. Love your reactions by the way.

I WAITED FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS , I love your explanation and your appreciation for them😍

Loved it! as usual you´re on point with your analysis, can´t wait for you to react to cypher pt 4 (the last one unfortunately) and then the Live Cypher Medley

knox u definitely need to react to songs like "hip hop lover", "pied piper" and "born singer". They feature all the BTS members :)

I really want you to react to their cypher medley 2017 live in dailymotion! they remixed it and it's amazinggg

Now you need to watch Cypher pt. 3 LIVE. The energy there is insane! Thank you for your reaction 😊

Yeyyyy can’t wait for the live 😍
