Hong Gil-dong is a hero of a famous classic Korean novel who could not call his father as "father" bc he was an illegitimate child. thats why RM mentioned Hong Gil-dong when he said "they see good thing but they can't call it good" + for rm's verse in Cypher pt2 (if your not Korean, this will be kinda hard to understand) Just do the "chun" because you have no "shil" ㄴfor this verse "chun" has two meaning. 1."chun" means "cloth" 2. "do chun"(천해) means you have a low status "shil" also has two meanings. 1. "shil" means "thread" 2. "no shil"(실없어) means your pointless I'll push you out because I really don't like you ㄴ in Korean these words ryme with "chun" and "shil" !! I'm good at sewing, putting it into practice ㄴhe's talking about sewing bc of the "thread" and "cloth" putting into practice in Korean is "shil-chun"(실천) Just do the "yeon," like I said, you have no "shil" ㄴ "yeon" means kite Rise and rise to the sky but get ripped, bucket, I've forgotten you ㄴ a kite without "shil"(thread) gets up in the sky and ends up ripped in pieces sorry for my poor English...if you want any more parts to be translated, just leave it in the comments! it was a shame that there wasn't any videos that explained all this to foreigners

I'll stop commenting after this last observation: J-Hope started learning how to rap alongside RM and Suga, years later than them. I think it shows in those early cyphers, he hadn't found his style 100% just yet. Which makes his present skills all the more amazing, he worked hard to get to where he is. It's not an easy feat to come in as a dancer and manage to get on an even level with rappers like RM and Suga you know? And yet it's undeniable now that he is up there. I'm just really proud of him haha.

I'm really proud of him too, but let's be honest here, J-Hope never worked up to RM and Suga. He had the same progression as everyone else in the group. This was something that just came naturally to him. JK gets way more respect as the golden maknae than Hobi does as the golden hyung and, as far as I'm concerned, Hobi is a better singer than JK is a rapper. Hobi isn't my bias but come on, this dude is a trump card. There is a reactor that I watch who has said "if I never know who it is, I know it's Hobi". We need to love on our sunshine more.

J-hope himself said that Suga worked with him directly to teach him rap skills. Many rappers trained at the same time, but Suga saw something in J-hope worth nurturing. I'm proud of them all since each had to humble himself to not dominate and allow the others space to grow. That's the secret to BTS success, the stronger members never attempt to ball hog. I hope they can survive the solo career wars, when fans unleash foolishness to elevate their favs. Time will tell.

For the cyphers I suggest you still consult doolset since they explain all the references you wouldn't be able to get otherwise. The first cypher was apart from their second album "O!RUL8,2?" that came out in the latter half of 2013, just a few months after their debut that happened in June. Second cypher pt 2 is from their 3 album that came right after the previous one. It's a mini album "Skool Luv Affair" and it came out early 2014. I'll tell you about the rest in their respective videos. Through the cyphers specifically you can REALLY see their growth and what they went through, what they struggled with at the time. FYI J-Hope performed his cypher pt 1 verse at his Lollapalooza stage last year so this is another reason you should check it out, I promise you it is legendary. P.S. You have missed a lot of stuff, which I don't blame you, but please check out the doolset lyrics. You can thank me later.

like after discovering dollset my admiration for them only grew... look at what doolset wrote about ONE verse in cypher pt2: 너넨 그냥 긴수염, 한 마디로 메기여 You guys are just long beards, catfish in one word (1) Rhyme: 흰 수염 (heuin sooyeom; white beard) - 긴 수염 (gin sooyeom; long beard) (2) Metaphor: 메기 (megi; catfish), known for its flattened head prominent barbels that resemble a cat’s whiskers, is often used as a metaphor for an ugly person. (3) Wordplay: 한 마디로 메기여 (han madiro megiyeo) means “it’s catfish, to put it in one word.” But it also sounds similar to “한 마디로 멕여 (han madiro megyeo)” where 멕여 is a misspell (slang) of 먹여, which in the context means to strike a blow, to trick someone, or to screw someone over. So it also can be “I’m Whitebeard, you guys are just long beards. I screw you over with one word.” link: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2019/05/14/bts-cypher-pt-2-triptych/

The biggest thing that happened between the first 2 cyphers was B Free opening his dumb mouth and mocking SUGA and RM at an event meant to celebrate them. They were very angry when they wrote Cypher pt 2 and their verses are directed at him (he’s from Hawaii, thus the reference in SUGA’s verse).

Fun facts this Cypher was totally about BFree (one of the main and worst instigators) who heckled RM and Suga and harassed them for sampling a Kanye song, asked who they thought they were, proceeded to call Suga, sugar (implying he was sweet) and called them girls for wearing makeup on stage, as if performers don’t🙄. Anyhoo the rest of the panelists apologized but he refused to apologize and dissed Chairman Bang when he reached out to him. He also dissed ARMY but came back crying years later after a period was put on his career’s artery lol. Yoongi enunciation of Hawaii is funny because he was telling BFree to go home to Hawaii where he is from. BFree also had a superiority complex about that fact but BTS was like nahh we local boys will show you. You can Watch about BFree’s adventures. The last time we heard from him, he was coming out of prison after serving time for harming another rapper. He was really out there having an east coast - West coast feud by himself. In a nutshell he was told go go home to Hawaii 💀.

yoongi getting the nickname ''the shit talker'' is so fitting for him lmaooo

Cypher 2 is what got me back into rap. I will be 70 this year and I am up jamming and grooving to this reaction in the early 6am.

"Pride" was a Korean subcompact Korean car, The Kia Pride. RM said if you're a Kia Pride, then he's a Chrysler which is a bigger better car. He goes on to say he's priceless.

Cpyher 1: 2013 with their 2nd mini album O!RUL8,2? Cypher 2: 2014 (Skool Luv Affair 3rd Minialbum) Cypher 3: 2014 (Dark & Wild 1st full album) Cypher 4: 2016 (WINGS 2nd full album) I love the cyphers because, as you stated, you can see their progress more and more.

Told you Cypher 1 was short :D I think it was a subunit experiment, since the vocal line also got their own song as the Outro on that album. As others have stated, there's five months between Cyphers 1 and 2, and then another five months between 2 and 3; after that, it was two more years until Cypher 4. According to Suga, Cypher 2 was barely finished in time for mastering the Skool Luv Affair EP, 'cause they really worked on those lyrics. It's probably their angriest Cypher, and it is very much rm and Suga's song - j-hope gets his verse but is otherwise mostly acting as a hype man - because it's them responding to some hip-hop artists who essentially called them idol shit to their faces. I'm kinda surprised a name starting with "B" hasn't shown up in the comments yet. :) I'm super stoked at how much you enjoyed rm's verse, because he put the effort in and it _shows_; someone on reddit once did a chart of his flow switches and it's a bonkers number. It's a verse that feels like it gets overlooked because of how much Suga goes off, but really, they both tear this song to pieces, and sadly the only live of it I know has not great audio. The poetry term for that repetition of consonant sounds, incidentally, is "consonance"; when it's full syllables across lines, it's considered "rhyme" or "internal rhyme," and the point you were making was not stupid, it was excellent! Your knack for pointing out these things really makes your reactions stand out. Also you're one of few people to comment on Suga's demented laugh at the end; most people seem to stop before that bit, even though it's a perfect end note for his verse. Glad you're checking out the next Cyphers live; rap line performing is on a whole 'nother level. Unfortunately the best Cypher pt. 3 and 4 live vids - Brilliant's Stage Mix videos - don't have English subs on them. The Summer Sonic performance is excellent, but the audio's not the best; still, it's fun to see all seven up of them up there for the song. The recent Busan performance is also really, really good, though j-hope changed his verses (it's cool, one never gets translated right anyways), and I think it's mostly only available in fan cams now. Have fun in the ATL, and I look forward to your next vid!

Yep yep yep. BTS are always showing growth and that's what makes them special to us. They're showing that there's a process to everything, you just have to keep on going

j-hope also has cadence and a lot of truth in everything he writes. Hobi was born evolved, he is giant! He has personality and a lot of swag.

Cypher pt. 3 was done live in 2022 Busan Concert where some of the lyrics from the Jhope verse & hook was changed. You should check that one out, coz that's the most recent live version and they went crazy on it coz they said they'll never perform Cypher 3 again instead they'll make Cypher pt. 5 after this.

RM's flow between English and Korean in the same sentence and then back again, amazes me. He's also a math genius who connects his math relationship to his musical notes. Love that man! 💜 I get it... you explaining pronouncing syllables. Google: Doolset BTS Cypher

Cypher 2: Yoongi part is his recorded fastest rap, he said that he can rap faster than that but what’s the point of quick rap //mic drop BOOM!! I Love Him

The "go to Hawaii" is actually a famous dialogue from a famous Korean gangster movie, Yoongi actually imitates the way the actor says it in the movie

Hong Kildong - hero of a medieval Korean novel, was the son of an aristocrat and a maid. Although he was smarter and more talented than everyone else, he was not recognized as a member of an aristocratic family. "Even the servants didn't have any respect for him." Hong Kildong became the leader of the robbers and took away the ill-gotten wealth from the rich, and later became a great ruler in his country.

Finally! Please react to their song RUN BTS next! It is one of their last releases as a full roup. I feel you will like it! It has choreo too, so you may check their rap, voices, lyrics and dancing at the same time.

There’s a back story to all the anger. Rm and Suga were underground rappers before coming into BTS- rm had a reputation to proceed him bc his lyrics were unreal. Once they left the underground scene to become “kpop rappers” the other rappers in the underground scene would throw shade basically stating that they sold out. And because big hit was on the verge of bankruptcy when BTS debuted all 7 members of BTS had to prove themselves. Even now, they’re on the top. When people think kpop they think BTS. BTS still act like they need to prove themselves. It’s their humbleness. You can tell from indigo & D-2(which I don’t think you’ve listened to yet) that they’ve gone from the angst and anger they’ve had. D-day drops in 2 days and this will be the last installment for the Agust D moniker - suga found healing through that. I’m excited for you to listen to more. Because all 7 of them are amazing. Once you get a chance there is the MTV unplugged where they did a cover of fix you by Coldplay. Absolutely beautiful, shows a different side of them as a group. I think you’d enjoy it

I do look forward to your reactions. There are so many fake reactors just trying to hop in the BTS bandwagon (although BTS just makes $$ off their views and you KNOW over time they will fall in love with their music) but I love how you break down each line. What I love even more than that is you genuine love and appreciation of their skill and lyrical craft. Keep up the great work 💜🤗💜❤️💜

I love this so much! And yeah the "emperor" and "parachute" lines where RM manipulates the words into a rhyme, can't get enough of that. Other favorite part: "It's a workaholic cause I'm shopping for pens... but at the same time I'm shopping. For PENS tho!"

That's the beauty of BTS' music. They always level up and grow so much between releases. Army always has such high expectations from their new songs and they always go above and beyond those expectations.✨

Just note that when it comes to captions there may not be a direct English translation for certain Korean phrases or slang which is why it can sometimes look a bit odd. An you have to remember you are watching content spanning 10 years so what they think and wrote about then has obviously changed as they have matured. Unike many artsts BTS never make the same song twice so don't expect to hear 5 songs like Joke, or 5 cyphers the same. Which I LOVE!💜

I don't know if armys already explained this but they were definitely proving a point to all the underground rappers who criticized them for "selling out" and joining an idol group (because of the stereotype that all idols are just pretty faces with no substance, that they are "feminine" because they use makeup and all that crap). There was one in particular called BFree that had beef with them and suga's verse in Cypher 2 is mostly directed at him! 😅 Also you were right about the cyphers being recorded and released in different years. Cypher 1 (2013 - when bts debuted as a group) Cypher 2 (2014) Cypher 3 (2014) Cypher 4 (2016) And the fourth is the last one in the series because they finally let go of the anger and pain caused by the criticism!

Yes, this is just the beginning. Can't wait for you to see more. Cypher 2 is my favourite and I think, it's them at their angriest. 😂 Enjoy BTS More channel has all the cypher with lyrics from doolset and it'll be easier to read. 💜💜💜

Although part 1 was already good, more of an old school vibe and I loved J-Hope's "introduction" so to say as he learnt to rap only after joining Big Hit, part 2 is worlds apart. I'm not saying that the faster the rap, the better, because that's simply untrue, but in part 2, then 3, and 4 they learnt even more irt cadence, various tricks, even better lyricism. Part 3 and 4 have awesome live performances with good subtitles, i.e. "BTS - Cypher pt.3 Killer live from On Stage [...]" from "Enjoy BTS more" channel, or "BTS Cypher 4 live" on Queen channel. Best Cypher 3 live performance tho imo is the most recent one from concert in Busan but it doesn't have subtitlesm RM went crazy on it tho!

suga’s new song will drop this friday… the teaser sounds a bop already i cant wait for everyone to hear it!

I LOVE the badder than Rain verse, it refers to a OG artist Rain whos Debut song was 'Bad Guy'. I love it 😂✊🏾

I love all of the Cyphers but 2 is my favorite. The rising effect they put behind Suga’s section just automatically adds to the hype feeling you get from him and this song and personally I think it has one of the most overlooked lines from Rm. Him calling them “old caterpillars” to me is just amazing. Caterpillars don’t grow old, they build themselves a cocoon and evolve, becoming something beautiful that can fly to new heights and new places. So he’s saying they are stuck, never learning, never showing any growth, without ever evolving. And I love it so much!

Also, in the lyric video when Suga is saying 'your raps are all recycled' he's actually saying 'your raps are all ABABA' he's making fun of their basic rap form 😂 No one will disagree with you that you can hear their growth. Only 5 months between 1 & 2 though! This is why rapline are my biases! I especially love the poet and the shit talker 😂

laughter and whispering are the personal etiquette of SUGA

I absolutely love the laugh at the end of 2! Suga is a savage when he wants to be. You are correct that there was growth from 1 to 2. Our guys worked and still work tirelessly to continuously improve and grow. They are so inspiring as artist and people. Thanks for your reaction. I always really enjoy and appreciate your thoughts.

Balanced and fair reaction as always. Appreciate you viewing it from the lens of growth. Here are some live performances with good translations, at least for me: Part 3: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q3lhlsmjpK7Qqbw.html The Busan performance of pt. 3 was my fave but I figured you'd want to see/hear a performance closer to the time it was released. Part 4: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZyM0c2bkraXccY.html Looking forward to the next installment!

I don’t think I saw anyone mention it yet but the reason there’s such an improvement from 1-2 is because they TRULY had something to prove. That “Hawaii” line was a DIRECT shot at somebody lol Suga has never been afraid to talk shit 💀💀 I think RM and Suga really went in and let Hobi take a backseat on 2 because they were personally attacked and humiliated in an interview with these so-called “rappers” who wanted to criticize them and call them sell-outs and a bunch of stuff other than their names because they were “just idol rappers”. They were quite literally a bunch of nobodies who thought they could tell people what is and isn’t hip-hop (in Korea of all places mind you ) Meanwhile, BTS was already washing all them at ages 19 & 20 😂. Also, if I remember correctly, the time gap between 1&2 is somewhere around 5ish or 6 months which is actually crazy lol, they wasn’t playing no games. But yeah, like you said, BTS have always been one to do their homework and study to get better at their craft and it’s very clear where their influences come from and they’ll be the first to tell you so I’ve always really respected them for that~ Doolset Translations are gonna be your best bet to really get into the punchlines and wordplay and I really recommend it! Cypher 3 is my personal favorite so I can’t wait for your reaction. I usually don’t leave comments and I haven’t watched reaction videos in a longgggg time but I’ve had so much fun keeping up with yours. Love and peace~💜✌🏾

when you whining "RM slow down" I feel you. He's too fast I can't catch up so I just enjoy and jam 😂😂

LOL that you had to do the 2nd. I had to laugh harder when you told RM to slow down on Cypher 2 when Suga hasn't had his turn

Suga is referencing that character named "Free" in this Cypher. Called him "Sugar" and called him a girl lol

Yessss!!! Cyphers! Another great reaction! Thanks for sharing! Desperately waiting for Cyphers 3 & 4! And then Cypher Medley live!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Suga part "compared to your size, your rap is thin" is 🔥

The Cyphers are just iconic…B Free could only dream to do this kind of rap 🤣🤣💜💪🏼

Here are the live performance with english subs. I hope you watch both of them, both are epic! Cypher pt3 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqyLldSYpNvNqtY.html Cypher pt4 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaOOtpdrg7ipfdo.html

Yep this one uses doolset's lyrics!

his tag is “hey suga” in a whisper usually right before he raps or sings. he’s coming out with a new album. if you liked daechwita you’ll love his new album. i’m pretty sure it comes out tomorrow.

This is why I love listening to the cyphers in order. You can really hear the growth. Especially with Jhope. When he recorded Cypher 1, he had only been rapping for about a year. But Suga has always been savage. I love it!

25:01 oh, how loud I whizzed whe he said Suga was going too fast. I was like ahahah man, you think that’s fast? You just wait😂

The time of release for each cypher: Cypher 1: September 2013 Cypher 2: February 2014 Cypher 3: August 2014 Cypher 4: October 2016 Also, recently RM said that the last time they’ll perform Cypher 3 live was in their Busan concert in 2022. He said that they’ll just write a new one 😂. So, I hope you stick around and welcome Cypher pt 5 with us sometime in 2026. 💜

I will wait patiently here for you to check RMs INDIGO... A MASTERPIECE!

I always get nervous when reactors get to cypher 3 because of /that one/ Yoongi line. So many times I've gotten into watching reactors only for them to have... troubling... reactions to that line. GameBoyy 310 I won't spoil it for you, but when you see it yes, it does mean exactly what you think it means. You've been so chill and thoughtful and kind about things so far, please keep being that way 🙏

Yoongi’s YA on the end gets me every time kkkkk

Love your reactions. Suga is my fav rapper. He's the shit talker hahahaha yahhh

@@melgaye0 I chose this one also because it had a good translation. I would like him to watch the Busan one but unless Weverse uploads it, there isn’t a good one on KZread to watch. The official version keeps getting taken down so there are only fancams of it. Another reactor reacted to Busan and I feel they didn’t get the full affect that the official livestream or theater version brings. Only twitter has the official version but it’s all chopped up in short clips per tweet.

Cypher 2 has the best lines, I swear. "If you're a Pride, then I'm a Chrysler, that means I'm priceless" "This is a kingdom, I'm a king, you're dumb" "I parachute on my Neverland, Imma Peter Pan, so this will never end" "There should be a law restricting you from rapping" "My crime is assault with my tongue" "Overspending on my pens that are more in number than your fans" "My voice even bewitches your girlfriend" "If I'm the sun, you're the moon, because when I rise, you go down" "Your life is like a mudfish, your rap is recycled" "Like you parents, my heart hurts every time I see you" "I'll put a period at the artery of your music career" And of course that super satisfying laugh at the end. 🧑‍🍳😘

CYPHER PT.2 TRIPTYCH BEST CYPHER!!!!!! I was freaking out at your reactions, pt.2 is my favorite of all time, it's SOOOOOO good. And if you consider what a Triptych in artwork is, three separate pieces of one WHOLE masterpiece, the way J-Hope and Suga flank RM's larger verse but they all on this escalated level. AHHHH. AND DAMN RIGHT THEY HAD SHIT TO PROVE, UGH 🔥

The video is 10min long so this is more for your personal time if but here's a medley they've done with all the cyphers kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIhtlZKRdpTcqqQ.html Supreme Boi was here, you heard him at the start of Cypher pt.2. He's really important to know. He's worked with them from the very start, he helps with the music production. J-hope invited him for a collab in his first mixtape, Hope World; the collab is called Hangsang and you'd fuck with it haha. Just thought you should know. BTS really came from the bottom, so the people who believed in them right from the start and have stuck by them all these years deserve our respect ~

I really love your reactions. As a hiphop head myself it’s so amazing to see, that you just get it. ;) You really have to watch a live performance of the cyphers, especially pt.2. Not only do they sound amazing on the record, but they also are one of the best performers. I saw a lot of hip hop artists in my life on stage who are only sounding good in the studio and work with backing tracks. The rapline owns the stage!

Your frustration at how fast RM raps is such a mood lmao. No wonder he was called Rap Monster at the time. This man has always been on FIRE. 😂

When I think of the 4 Cyphers in the whole context, I see a bell curve. Cypher 1 starts at a place where like you said you know there growth is coming and it progresses up at a peak in the style and content with Cyphers 2 and 3 at the top of the curve with it coming down on Cypher 4 (not because it's lesser in quality) but because they have grown so much and at a place they can truly disregard the haters they directed the Cyphers to in the first place. Their growth, anger and maturity it is seen in the "bell curve." That's just the way I see the progression. My favourites are Cypers 2 and 4 btw! Great reaction!

finally the Cyphers!! so excited for this

"Cypher medley live" J Hope does his verse from cypher 1...Suga does his verse from 2...RM does his verse from 3 ...and they do the full cypher 4"

And NOBODY had the nerve to ClapBack!!! 🫡 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I haven't seen it mentioned in the comments, but "go back to hawaii" referred to a rapper called b free who told rm & suga to their face that they weren't real rappers and sold out bc they have to wear make up on stage and said it wasn't manly or masculine to be an idol and it went against what hip hop was about. Mind you even the most macho guy will have to wear makeup for videos or a live recording on TV 🙄 Anyway suga said he'd put a "period artery on his career" and karma was on his side cause last I heard that dude was arrested/in jail

I JUST LITERALLY COMMENTED LAST NIGHT HOPING YOU WOULD REACT TO CYPHERSSS. OMGGGG THANK YOUUU!!! YOU'RE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE BTS REACTOR ON THE PLANET!!! 🙏🏻❤

AAAAAAHHHH I’VE NEVER BEEN SO EARLY BEFORE 😭 Cypher Pt 2 is my favorite of the four, excited for your always thoughtful and always REAL reactions~ 💜

I'm french (and 46 yrs old lady) so I'll try my best in english. Total respect for your musical sensitivity, smart brain and analyses. In Cypher part 2, you noticed the "so where ma EMPERORS at" with the following " I PARACHUTE on my Neverland" and you commented "This is art, I can't explain". I can. This is what I teach to my students in french poetry - but it exists in any language - when poets non only play on words, but on letters. When you repeat a consonant : EMPERORS / PARACHUTE : you have 2 P and 2 R... it's called an "alliteration". When you do it with vowels like when RM raps "'on a CD, on a TV, you can SEE ME, enVY ME, it's a pItY, gEE gEE", it's called an "assonance" : these are the basics of Malherbe, a french poet who noticed the phonetic power of sounds in words and fixed these rules in the 16th century (at the time, French was a worldwide - a smaller world then, lol - spoken language). RM is very literate and smart : he plays with these poetic rules in any language - korean, english, japanese - in many many songs... He masters it + his flow + the deep meaning of his words >> the best ever today ! That's it.

The way you get swept away with RM and SUGA's rap in Pt. 2, the way I could see on your face how much you were into it brings me a lot of joy!!!! I appreciate it so much, great reaction as always, and the commentary on growth and cadence was everythinggggg.

Okay since you're asking for it, cypher pt 3 and 4 and fan favorites and my personal favorite is pt. 3 because there is no THAT part in it, every single part is isonic and every verse to me is equally good, incomparable. Though, I suggest you first do the studio versions of them before the live versions for you to have a better idea of what they are. you could do the live version separately and there's also a cypher medley where they performed all 4 of them. Cypher pt 3 came out also in 2014 with their first studio album and 4th overall release "Dark & Wild" where "Hip Hop Phile" is also from. pt 4 is from WINGS which came out in 2016 so while the first 3 cyphers were a few months apart the last one came out about 2 years later.

The main reason I like people to listen/ read the Cyphers is exactly what you said "seeing the growth" and I love that about you cause you do get it. lol, It's nor, ally hard for e to say I have a favorite BTS anything because I love it/ them all, but I do favor Cypher part 2. To me, it was BTS defending themselves from that no-name a-hole who called them girls. That's who Suga tells to go back to Hawaii and he did lol.

i can clearly see how youre not vibing to cypher pt 1 AND THATS OKAY!! Like i know they can do more when i have listened to there works now but i love that you see their growth. It’s different when you listened to pt 1 and see how they improved EVERY SINGLE TIME throughout the pt 2. I just also want to say that they adopt to the time or trend soooo thats why it sounds like very different. Pt 1 and 2 is really different from the rap songs nowadays and it is really indeed very old school-it just shows how western hiphop or the original hiphop influenced them A LOT. Thank you for this real reaction!!!

I came across your videos now I can't stop watching your reaction in every other videos LOL not gonna lie your reactions is more honest and Fun than some other peoples. I can't even skip😂.

BTS was hugely discriminated against for their music bc ppl who were big in the K-industry didnt take them serious for their 'rebellious' music ( their music talked abt going against social norms in korea and it wasnt normal to hear in music at the time) and koreans who think they know what hiphop is told them that they are not real rappers but more like girls getting their make up done

I wish that they can come back with another cypher like this again ❤

And B-Free was never heard from again😂

you’re right!! you hear growth with each cypher. but the thing about cyphers is that they have many references, doolset really is a savior when looking into the cyphers 🫶
