It's always fun watching genuine new reactors become speechless in the process of watching their first BLACKPINK encounter. 🤣 I think you'd feel at home with BLACKPINK music especially their songs like How You Like That, Kill This Love, Boombayah, Dududu, etc. They belong to the YG Entertainment label that is very hiphop based so this song they wanted to pay homage to their roots. Hope you enjoy your journey with BLACKPINK and just ignore all the toxic fans who may come your way. Most of us are here for the music not the drama.
What a nice explanation!👏👏👏
😎😎😎😎
No other *kpop group* paid this amount of homage to Black Hip Hop artists and Black girl groups. From biggie's kick in the door to riri's pon to the 90's black girl groups Aesthetics, choreo and anti-drop chorus sound to the boom bap triple speed clutch in a double speed cadence to the english bars that are legit. They stayed true to the Genres they were portraying while adding their own Rock and roll women empowerment spice. A Pre-Release giving Homage to their Inspirations as a FIRST STEP for their Second Album. The first to many. Also... Straight to your dome... Dome arenas... A concert near you held in a dome arena.
right? but those who claim that they’re kpop fans or fake blinks criticize the song like piece by piece LMAO
@@blacksummer2136 ikr...... almost two days since BP's comeback many people have become music experts and producers. Lol
Look guys, I am a straight metal head with some goth elements too, and I absolutely fell IN LOVE with this group... I am not a k-pop listener and I even can't not love them! They are seriously so amazing!
Bruh, I would die happy if they try a little bit of rock. I think they're too afraid, but with their live band during their world tour, the hard-ass rock will be heaven to listen to.
thank you! welcome to the fandom!
@@MGZetta their live conert usually include some rock elements in terms of music due to them having a live band.
You're in great company - there are a LOT of hard case 'metal heads' that adore these ladies, some metal bands are even performing covers of them to great reactions from their fans in turn.
me too dont listen to k pop only blackpink
I'm 63, and have been a metalhead for over 50 years. I found Blackpink a couple of weeks ago. I went in with trepidation, came out a Blackpink fan, a Blink.
If you're in the US you still have time to see them in concert in Aug during their US encore. My wife and I are in our 60's as well. We saw them last Nov. Best concert I've ever attended bar none. Edit: We're going top see them again Aug 11, Metlife Stadium NJ.
Best comeback ever. It hits so hard. This is for me the best song of Blackpink ever. More you repeat, more I enjoy. The Last part ,, bring the pain Rattata rattata rattata rattata very hard. Even the beginning. Man I am speechless about the song mind you I didn't feel like that in my first listen . After venom hits fook me . Thanks for your reaction. Hands down their best song.
This is not the comeback the come back is in september 🥰
@@WiktoriaBok_ and that makes it so much better because it doesnt need to go as hard as it does for a pre-release 😭
@@WiktoriaBok_ when the born pink album comes out ❤️
Welp, you’ve fallen down the blackpink rabbit hole now. Just enjoy the free fall. The main thing you need to know is that blackpink Is different. Nobody else out there is doing what blackpink does. They’re almost not really Kpop anymore. They have kinda created there own genre and their own sound. You won’t be disappointed. The more you learn and listen to them, the more you love ‘em.
So true
I 100000% agree with you..... i mean.. when i heard the last part of the beat from ddu du ddu du... i was like jaw dropping... that bass and the synth sound mixing dubstep like was whole another level !!!!
I have mad respect for Eric in this reaction, and his knowledge of hip-hop. The girls are amazing, but not enough credit goes to their producer, Teddy Park. He grew up in 90s SoCal and was into the hip-hop scene there, and eventually became a big hip-hop artist/rapper in Korea himself. After that career, he became one of Korea's biggest producers making tons of hits for artists, and eventually became involved with Blackpink. He is one of the reasons why I love blackpink's music, because I grew up in the same era as him and I instantly recognize the influences he puts in their productions. He likes to experiment with all genres (edm, pop, etc) by putting his spin on it. And the girls vibe really well with him. I hope you check out their music more. I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction and I'm glad blackpink impressed you giys. Really fun time!
People actually say he is 5th member of blackpink and nobody is mad about it. I realized my music taste usually goes towards YG entertainment when it comes to kpop then I figured your Teddy is the real mastermind behind it. He deserves as much credit and blackpink seems to respect him the most.
@Rykerroad 💯
Totally. He's the backbone to BP's sound and musical style. You def feel/hear it in the rap lyrics. Sometimes it almost seems like he took lyrics that he probably would've written during his 1TYM days, and just threw it into BP songs. From the references to the 90s ("90's baby, pump up the jam), the bravado ("middle finger up, F-U pay me), and the gun bars (D4, "whatchu gon do when i come through with that that uh...uh huh").
@@Organized82 yup, this exactly! I love the "Pump Up The Jam" line for lisa. Others may not know the reference of that song title, but the fact that i know it because i listened to it back in the day brings a smile to my face. That's the reason why i'm not only a big fan of blackpink, but a big fan of Teddy and his productions as well. To me, blackpink is an amazing combination of the talent and hard work of the girls, and their trust in Teddy and his love for the music scene that he (and i) grew up in.
Teddy and my boy Perry are both producers for BP. Old school Korean Hip Hop heads would know who Perry is, he was one of YG's first Hip Hop artist and also one of the first non-koreans to debut there.
Kyle: you like it, don’t you? Ha ha ha ha ha Eric: Fuck! This is my favorite part of this video Fucking hilarious 🤣
This is my favorite type of reaction to Blackpink. I can relate so much bc I was so closed up to the ideia of listening to kpop and bc of them I ended up being introduced to a whole new world of music. By the way.. Blackpink is known by their sick beats and insane bass drops so if you guys like that, I recommend you to watch to their "Du Ddu Du Ddu", "Kill this Love" and "How you like that" MVs, all of which have 1 billion + views on KZhead.
Took me so long to get over the fact that I liked K Pop and am not embarrassed about it anymore. Like over a year to finally come to terms with it
Jennie had to come in and set Eric straight... ahahaha!
Hahaha 💪
haha that's funny
Jennie 🔥❤️
a metal head and a hip-hop head.. y'all will definitely love blackpink 😆 their live performances are even more better cause they have a live band with them in their concerts! i just subscribed and now i can't wait for y'all to check more of their stuffs
Me too! I really loved their genuine reactions and would definitely love to see more while they explore the other songs of blackpink lol
Agree👍💯
Yes their concert and their Coachella performance is MORE THAN K-POP
If it wasn't for reaction channels and other channels that teach people about music I would not have gotten into so many bands! Reaction channels showed me BlackPink, PunkRock MBA showed me Falling In Reverse (who I refused to ever listen to before I seen his video about Ronnie Radke) and a few other bands and artists that I love now that I would have never ever thought to give them a try. So glad you guys loved this! More! The more BlackPink you guys do the more you understand their dynamic as I feel this song kind of shows it, but there is so much more behind it...
Don't forget to put CC's on your viewing of Blackpink. Because often their lyrics are either On point or has double/triple entendre (base on how much you know about them).
All of them are in mid to late 20s, and in order of appearance is Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. 🔥
Mid to late. 25, 25, 26 and 27
So the musical references here are pretty extensive, Jennie starts out with a reference to Biggie's famous line "kick in the door, wavin the 44"(Jennie says Coco). Next Lisa references Rhianna's "Pon de Replay" with "One by one and two by two" and also 50 Cent's P.I.M.P. with "you can't get a dollar outta me". Rosé and Jisoo both reference Taylor Swift with "look what you made us do". Finally, the Jennie/Lisa rap verse is backed by a sample of Ice Cube/Easy-E's part of "Gangster Gangster" by N.W.A. They definitely weren't shy about shouting out their inspirations/favorite artists in this song.
I knew I wasn't the only one that heard the NWA sample.
Don't forget that the blackpink chant in the beginning and the end is a reference from Nas - Made You Look.
There are 4 members! their album "Born Pink" is droping on september and they are performing Pink Venom live on the VMAs this 28th. I love them sm fr their music is too good.
How many more songs?
@@lalisa2486 minimum 6 new songs
@@disoo wow great, I’d like to see more choreography!!!
@@lalisa2486 it’s a full album so probably from 8 to 12 maybe
@@lalisa2486 actually mostly they only release 2-3 more M/V which had the choreography, and the rest only can listen. But i hope they'll release more too.
it’s funny when jennie just started just a second then he swore lmao
So far one of my favorite Pink Venom reaction videos. As someone whose part of the older generation that grew up with songs from the 90s, I totally agree with what you were saying about how it feels like home, but still something new.
NEVER listened to them for the SAME reason! DAMN how CLOSED MINDED we are. 🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It wasn't bad! 😎😉😁 LOVE exploring NEW 🎶🎶🎶with yall!🥳🥳🥳✌️❤️🎶🎶
This was definitely fun!!
its literally so fun watching new reactors to Blackpink😭😭😭😭 Jennie literally snapped so hard witht the raps😭 the chorus is literally so different but hits so hard
My wife has been a BP fan for years and I was much like you, K-pop? get that shit outta here. Then Pink Venom dropped and I got bit. Now we both going to their show in Sydney...
This is so wholesome🥰🥰 Cant wait for more reactions of blackpink from you guys! 3 of the girls have solo songs, please react to them as well!
That new JenLisa rap scene is so reminiscent of the good ol days of Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Left-Eye (TLC) era. Almost felt like a homage, a tribute to the boom bap era 💯
why i love a lot of the kpop artist. a lot of them has the flow and music from when rap was good in our era. god i love kpop so much
the way you laugh on Eric on first part of Jennie while saying 'you like it dont you' LOL 🤣🤣
This was a satisfying reaction. I am also a metal head…but I fucking love kpop. It’s my guilty pleasure.
love genuine reactions. i'm a 40 something father of two toddlers. i'm not a k pop fan. but i inadvertently discovered blackpink a year ago and haven't stopped listening to them since. watched many reaction videos too. and you guys were by far the most honest one. judging by the number of views of your reaction video, i can only assume you'll react to more blackpink videos. and i'm looking forward to it!
KPop isn't just pop. It incorporates pretty much every genre as you can tell, lol. I know quite a few metal heads and hip hop fans that are really into KPop. I'm glad you two enjoyed it. They are all in their mid to late 20s btw.
I've never listened to this genre either but it's damn catchy!
BLACKPINK will be performing their new single “Pink Venom” at the VMA’s. 🖤💖
Yes in New Jersey this Aug 28th
Yess it’s been so long since saw them on stage, can’t wait to see them perform again🔥
I had the same reaction when I first heard this group. But they are super good.
I had to laugh at the beginning when you talked shit Eric. Blackpink is pretty awesome and I also had to adjust my view on K-pop when I finally listened to them for the first time about a year ago.
well he didnt talk shit he merely said he wasn’t looking forward to kpop
This was totally me 2 years ago. Took me forever to grow as a person and admit that I liked more than just rock and metal
BLACKPINK consists of 4 members: *Jennie* - the one who started the song in a red dress with her monster truck *Lisa* - the one who's holding a black apple and with cap of CELINE while rapping *Rosé* - the one with a guitar while singing *Jisoo* - the one who's playing korean instrument at the beginning and wearing mask They all have their own positions in their group: *Jennie* - Main Rapper and Vocalist *Lisa* - Main Dancer, Lead Rapper, Sub Vocalist *Rosé* - Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer *Jisoo* - Visual, Lead Vocalist They debuted on 2016 on *YG ENTERTAINMENT* and the biggest girl group right now.
i come back to this video and rewatch it regularly i cannot explain it but this video is so comforting 😭 something about watching two people (see: middle aged white men) realize they actually like k-pop, despite what theyve been taught about it
The queen jennie killed this one for sure 🔥🔥❤️
Wasn't expecting this, but I love it!
I knowwww, right?? 😄👍
Another reaction to Blackpink How you like that MV This is awesome
their Coachella performances has a rock band vibes
omg I love you guys! hahahah!! First time seeing a video of you, and I loved watching you guys reacting to BlackPink for the first time. Pls give us some more!
We absolutely will!
New reactors to our girls is so amazing. You have no idea the rabbit hole you are about to enter. Once you get more into Blackpink you will get sucked into how amazing they are. Subscribed just to see how deep you guys go. Their videos have individually billions of views. Looking forward to more. Welcome to the world of Blackpink
I like your Vibes you’re a good duo. Yeah BlackPink has range. It’s in the name Black(hard & Savage) Pink (Soft & Sweet) Welcome to the Family
Eric's first reaction was me when I watched a Blackpink music video for the first time. I thought "I'll see what kpop is about even though it won't be a big deal cause I listen to enough American pop." For years, I assumed kpop was just pop music. My only knowledge was Gangham Style which I was NOT a fan of. Finally in 2021, working from home, I decided to try and widen my music range. I was SHOCKED that these girls rap. It blew my mind how they flawlessly go between languages AND flow between singing and rapping. I also didn't expect as much english! I wish I found these ladies earlier. Saw them in concert in November and had the BEST time.
Which concert?? I went to Atl night 2
Ahahahaha best genuine reaction Thankyou!! Check out “How you like that” by BlackPink
Yes, she really plays guitar, keyboards too. That was ROSÉ, the blonde-haired Main Vocalist. She was born in New Zealand then grew up in Australia, her Aussie accent will destroy you!
I just have to echo Eric's words at 9:30 . I'm a New York regular guy, always been into rock and rap, K-Pop sounded like it would be cutesy girls all dressed alike and singing in high pitched voices. In 2016 I saw a tiny article about a new group to check out called BLACKPINK (they looked pretty) and from the first song my mind was literally blown. It was like finding out that a new flavor existed that had always been there but no one had ever told you about. Hand to G*d I've listened to BLACKPINK almost every day since then, they're that good. I've also gotten into other K-Pop artists, mostly from their label as their company has an urban, hip hop edge, try BIGBANG's *BANG BANG BANG* , you'll like it. They're very good too, they're known as "The Kings Of K-Pop".
true. I only listen to YG artists as they are more into hiphop, edms, house music.
Welcome aboard Gents. I don’t listen to K-pop as a rule but love Blackpink. Check them out they are amazing.
I came back to see your reaction again. Probably the fifth time, at least. I love your reaction when you hear Jennie's first line.
Same here
Same
Dude i wanted both of you to dive in more with their song. I've been a fan for 5 years. Blackpink is extra ordinary theyre the biggest girl group right now.
I knew nothing about Kpop in 2016 but Blackpink's hardhitting tracks had me going down that rabbit hole since. Welcome to the party; it's going to be a ton of fun if you're down for the ride
Great Reaction Rykerroad! Just wanted to add that there’s 4 members all in their 20’s and when they perform Live they have a Band so their sound is more Rock oriented! And yea please check out their other M/V’s!🤘
blackpink is the revolution
The best reaction I've seen for Pink Venom.
More Blackpink please!!!! Song suggestions: Pretty Savage live performance How You Like That Ddu Du Ddu Du Blackpink member Lisa’s solos: Lalisa Money 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Also another good live performance by Blackpink to hear their vocals without studio is their cover of Sure Thing by Miguel.
Up
I lost count on how many times i’ve seen this video and Eric’s twist of feels for this genre its soooo wholesome & funny! 🥰😂 LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!!
MY STORYTIME OF HOW I FOUND YOU TWO IS BECAUSE YOUR VIDEO (THIS PINK VENOM VIDEO REACTION) WAS ON MY FYP IN TIKTOK, MY FELLOW "BLINK" (BLACKPINK'S FANDOM NAME) POSTED YOUR VIDEO IN TIKTOK SAYING YOUR REACTION ARE THEIR FAVORITE THAT'S WHY I SEARCH YOU GUYS HERE IN KZhead AND I ACTUALLY ENJOY YOUR REACTION, THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING OUR BLACKPINK! A LOT OF US (BLINKS) ARE ALWAYS WAITING FOR YOUR BLACKPINK REACTION VIDEOS AND WE'RE HOPING YOU'LL DO MORE ESPECIALLY THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES, AND BLACKPINK'S COACHELLA WAS ON FIRE YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT! WE LOVE YOU GUYS THANK YOU AGAIN FOR APPRECIATING BLACKPINK! P.S: YOU'RE THE ONLY REACTOR I AM FOLLOWING NO ONE ELSES , I JUST LOVE LOVE YOUR REACTION BOTH OF YOU! HOPING YOU GUYS WILL DO MORE BLACKPINK!!!!
My first reaction on kpop was exactly just like Eric's, but after listening to Blackpink that quickly changed my mind about it. I Still can't get into other kpop artists right now, but Blackpink hits right for me.
Funny how Eric was speechless how Blackpink is like. A lot of people don't think Kpop is good, until you hear it. Now you see how Blackpink and BTS are popular now. 💗 I suggest you react to other songs from them. You won't regret it. 💜
They should react bts previous songs like dope, fire , dna etc..But no dynamite song they defenectly not like it..
@@kpoplove8306 I agree. I was going to suggest Mic Drop and On kinetic Menifesto. Dope got me into BTS.
@@peacefulmilktea yeah😁👍🏻
Haha i replayed many times on your reaction when Jennie entered so cute!
Main rapper queen Jennie finally back 😭🔥 She is totally slayed this 👑🔥
RAPPER JENNIE starting the song with that red dress make u excited for the rest of the song 😍🔥
now that it has been 6 months ago and you are Blinks now, you need to do this again with cc on. Jisoo is actually playing the Geomungo in the beginning (she also plays traditionsl Korean drums, some piano, some guitar, and ukelele). Jennie's line "Kick in the door, wavin' the Coco" is both a brag about being Coco Channel' IT girl and homage to Biggy Smalls line "Kick in the door wavin' the 44". Lisa's first verse starts with homage to "Pon da Replay" by Rhianna and a line from a 50 Cent song "You can't get a dollar out of me" as well as a brag of how influential she is around the world when she says "I can destroy the world with a flick of my finger" (she controls an army of 90 million feverant fans on IG). Rose's first verse "We've already taken your soul, look what you made us do" as she holds the still beating black heart in her hand will now have so much more meaning. Jisoo's first verse she says, "We're so beautiful, it's brutal" is both true and an afformation. Jisoo's line about a pink ocean has to do with the ocean of pink you will see at their concert when they have the crowd do the wave with their pink hammers. You really need to do their live performances at Tokyo Dome (especially the DDDD Remix), Blackpink Light Up The Sky, One or more Blackpink guides, and LiliFilm 1-4 and LiliFilm The Movie (all shorts of Lisa dancing and can be done in one reaction) make sure you do LiliFilm 3 last as you may not survive it.
I adore Eric's "Oh fuck me. I love it." Like I love the genuine reaction of people who wouldn't listen to this style otherwise. Blackpink are all born mid to late nineties and definitely pull on that TLC and Biggie vibe. They pay so much respect in so many ways to the music that has influenced them.
ahhhhhhhh it makes me soooo happy when ppl react to BLACKPINK and this was like one of the best reaction ever available!!
Love this reaction guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Hip hop head? metal head? You fit right in with Blackpink music! You have no idea how much 😂 Happy you had fun with Pink Venom! Subscribed, notifications on, and liked for your next Blackpink reactions! Get 'em Get 'em Get 'em 🖤💗
This is my all time favorite kpop reaction! I love that you reacted the way you did- "I am pissed!" - kills me😂. I've rewatched it several times because it makes me laugh and smile every single time!
This is A LEGEND REACTION VIDEO of all time. I really love this reaction.
Jennie and lisa rap duo on fire🔥 but jennie rap is on a another level
Next….Kill This Love….DU DDU DU DDU…..Anything of their Live at Tokyo Dome…..to start…beats are sick!! 👍👍🤟🤟
Pink venom means the influence of Blackpink as an artists, some dislike them once they outshine other kpop groups, millions love them for being an inspirations to all especially in kpop for breaking the stereotype that women should always be perfect, proper & out of this world standard that girl group should follow. They are pretty savage
I love watching genuine new reactors falling into this deep hole called kpop. IDK guys, kpop is like a magic formula, I don't know a single person yet who checked it out and didn't fall into the rabbit hole sooner or later.
I am a metalhead also listening to extreme side of metal. But hey I love blackpink! Not into kpop but blackpink is an exception. Hey guys new subscriber here. Check out MAXIMUM THE HORMONES Band. a japanese metal band
Guerilla from ateez (kpop group) has more of a rock/metal type of song and its amazinggg!! Kpop in general is very diverse. It's not all pop cutesy type of songs. They have all the genres you can think of.
@@listentomyheartbeat I will check it thanks for the info.!
Great reaction. Blackpink is a deep deep rabbit hole to fall into. Four legitimate superstars in one group combined with the greatest producer in Kpop, Teddy Park (former rap star in Korea). Lisa's (the Celine rapper) MV Lalisa came out last year and broke the 24-hour view record by a solo artist (74 million vs. Talyor's Swift's 63 million), and that isn't even her best solo song, which is Money (all English all wrap, 650 million views in 10 months). Lisa, who is actually Thai, is considered the best female rapper and best dancer in Kpop and has more IG followers than any Kpop star, male or female (80 million). She is typically included in the most beautiful women in the world lists, named the third most beautiful woman by British magazine Nubia. Jisoo, the regal looking one in the blue scenes, was named by Nubia as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World for 2022, widely reputed to have awe-inspiring beauty in real life that the camera fails to fully capture. Jisoo reps Dior and Cartier. She has a unique deep singing voice, second best in the group. Jisoo is also a highly acclaimed actress, who was the star of a 13-episode Kdrama last year. She is a heavily sought-after actress for movies and dramas, so she doesn't need this Blackpink gig. You would think with all that talent and beauty and coming from wealth that she would be arrogant, she is actually the comic relief of the group in real life and has a very humble personality. Rose, the blonde, who is actually Australian, is the Taylor Swift of Kpop, singer/songwriter/guitar-piano player with the best voice in the group. Her covers of songs are highly acclaimed, even by the original artists, including songs from Coldplay, the Killers, Oasis, and John Mayer. She has 2 all English solos that were very successful, critically acclaimed and broke many records. Jennie opened the song with her rap and rocked the ManU shirt, and is often rated as the most popular female kpop artist in South Korea (outside of South Korea it is Lisa). Jennie has her own solo project called "Solo" that has over 800 million KZhead views. She reps Chanel (the brand), ergo the opening line "Waiving the Coco" as in founder Coco Chanel. Even though Lisa is considered to be the best rapper in all female Kpop, Jennie is actually the Main Rapper in Blackpink. All the girls are very humble and down to earth which is why they have such a devoted fanbase.
Lisa is considered an amazing dancer but most certainly not the best rapper in Kpop considering Jennie is main and beasts like Soyeon (G)I-DLE, Moonbyul of Mamamoo, Dami of Dreamcatcher, and Tymee exist :)
@@deernini Actually, you can have whatever preferences you like. But certainly there are many people who choose Lisa as the best rapper and prefer her rapping style over the names you listed. And, conversely, each of the people you named have fans who think of their faves as being the best. There's no science to it. It's a matter of taste. Trying to invoke the fake "main" ranking as evidence of anything is just wrong. YG has never confirmed any ranking of the rap line. (It would actually be dumb for a company to announce that it has two rappers and then label one of them as "second best"). It's just fans who are obsessed with making up main/lead/sub rankings who go everywhere repeating it so much that they mistakenly think that there is a ranking. When they debuted in 2016, literally the only thing that YG ever officially said about positions/specialties is that Jennie's specialties are "vocals/rap" and Lisa's specialties are "rap/dance". That has never changed. YG never talks about main/lead/sub ranking nonsense and the deluded fans who think the members are ranked against each other can never point to any official announcement or statement from YG or the group. All they can do is say they heard the word "main dancer" once on a tv show or thought they heard someone say "main rapper Jennie" on another show (when it turns out that it was actually "rapper Jennie"). Or they go to sites like Kprofiles or Melon for info, even though Kprofiles acknowledged that they didn't get their info from YG and Melon (which has erroneous info about a lot of things) also doesn't claim that they got info from YG on positions. Like whomever you want. Prefer whomever you want. But don't use the fake main/lead/sub nonsense as proof of anything.
@@TEAM__POSEID0N I understand it’s about preference but you threw a statement out that Lisa is the best rapper as if that’s fact when really it’s not. What I’m saying is that without bias, Lisa does not have technique and flow that the rappers I mentioned have. Yes, she has swag and charisma and can rap well, but just because you and a few blinks think she’s the best rapper doesn’t mean she is. Most blinks agree that Jennie is the best rapper and Lisa the best dancer because of their positions in the group and because technically, Jennie’s cadence, flow, pitch and tone have all been complimented by rappers who react to BlackPink, as opposed to Lisa being complimented for her swag and stage presence. People tend to confuse charisma and presence with good rapping. No, Lisa is amazing at the stage presence game but Jennie owns the rap game.
My new favorite genre is ‘hip hop heads reacting to the Biggie call out and the boom bap verses in this’
The SCREAM I let out when I saw the look on Eric’s face that he liked the song I was like “WE GOT HIM”
Metal head here. I'm not into K-POP at all and I still don't listen to other groups. But BLACKPINK is different. I get you. Damn.
I love your honest reaction, you remind me of the old me bro. Btw, I'm a Metalhead. Because I used to hate K-POP so much,, I'll be honest with you. Whether it's a boy group or a girl group, they are really disgusting to me. especially their concept which is like, you know. . they look like they want to make you want to throw up. That's what makes me hate Kpop. Well, in 2018, I saw a Kpop GIRLGROUP called BLACKPINK with the song "DDU-DDU-DDU" on KZhead and at that time it was trending no. 1, I'm curious and I'm trying to watch why this GIRLGROUP can be trending no.1 on KZhead. After I watched their MV, it turns out that this girl group with the name BLACKPINK is very different from most of the girl groups I know. they have a unique concept, like their name is BLACKPINK,, they have a black side like SWAG, BADAS, SEXY, CONFIDENCE, SAVAGE. and PINK Side like CUTE, and PRETTY. I also can't lie about this GIRLGROUP they really are something else. and I'm very interested, and I also didn't expect myself to enter the world of KPOP and become a FANS of this girl group, namely "BLINK" (Fandom Name of BLACKPINK). If it wasn't for BLACKPINK when they were trending in 2018 with the song "DDU-DDU-DDU", I would probably still hate KPOP. I will recommend you: 1. BLACKPINK - DDU-DDU-DDU 2. BLACKPINK - KILL THIS LOVE 3. BLACKPINK - HOW YOU LIKE THAT If you've watched the MV that I recommended earlier, try to check the live performance: 1. BLACKPINK - Ddu du Ddu du (Remix) live performance at TOKYO DOME 2019/2020 i SWEAR this gonna BANGER. no cap. bruh 🙏🤘🔥 BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA 😎🤘🔥🖤💖
Same here been 5yr listening to them Blackpink is different from other group.The only kpop group i listen to.
Me too same time , was listening to Dimash and Babymetal 😇😆 doing that time period !
@Eric This was they were paying homage to older hiphop artists on the 49th anniversary. You found it out just by a glance. It shows that u r a very knowledgeable guy in case of hiphop. U r really a hiphop head !! Hatsoff to u !!❤❤
!!!!! ERIC !!!!! As a hip hop head, I think you will appreciate the first line of the song where Jennie says “Kick in the door, waving the Coco”…. They are paying homage to The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 hit “Kick in the Door” where in the chorus, he says “Kick in the door, wavin' the .44”! Jennie is the biggest brand ambassador for Chanel. In addition to her Chanel clothing and jewelry she is wearing in the video, you can see when she says this line, she is holding and “waving” an actual $30,000 Coco Chanel bird cage handbag! So she is waving the “Coco” instead of a .44!! (Kind of embarrassed I even know this!). 😂 By the way, you may have also noticed Lisa saying “One by one, and two by two”? She is paying homage to Rihana’s lyrics in “Pon de Replay” as she is a big fan of hers. This is a new style for them. A little more hip-hop and less EDM/pop then their previous 6 years of music. You MUST review their older stuff which is less hip-hop but still hits hard and is catchy stuff that you want to bounce and groove to. Their videos each have 1 BILLION+ views!!! Also try Lisa’s solo stuff. She has two…. “Lalisa” and also “Money” which is all in English and is more hip hop. “Lalisa” is up for VMA next week for her song “Lalisa” as best K-Pop video of the year. The band is also now up against people like Foo Fighters and Maneskin for Best Group at the VMAs as well as Best Metaverse Performance for their 100% CGI video that they released a few weeks ago in collaboration with the mega game PUBG Mobile. Here’s a great live concert video you MUST do next. They did a live (no audience) concert during COVID called “The Show”. It is great because they have a live band with tons of electric guitar and real drums, etc. Try this one first as it really rocks and is one of their biggest hits called “Ddu Du Ddu Du”!! kzhead.info/sun/i9aTiNiQqnZ6dH0/bejne.html Your should also check out their studio and live versions from that same virtual concert (“The Show”) for “Kill This Love” and “How You Like That”. You will hear their songs a lot now in US pop culture and movies/trailers. If you like the HBO show “Peacemaker” with John Cena, he references BLACKPINK. The are also playing in the background of DC’s “Justice League” when Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) is visiting The Flash. PS- My wife and two teenage boys think I am crazy! 😂. They don’t understand the appeal. I usually like country, rock, metal, etc. I got into K-Pop through discovering Blackpink about a year ago, and I have never been so obsessed with a band. I don’t quite fit the “stereotypical” BLACKPINK or K-Pop fan (if there even is one?)…. I am a 48 year old straight white American married man and father! They are all so unique, talented, and beautiful/sexy in their own ways. Something about their personalities and their music is so addicting. They even had reality show called “Blackpink House” were you get to know them. I am obsessed, and probably need an intervention! 😂. FYI…. The last concert I went to was Disturbed, but I am hoping to see BLACKPINK on their new world tour in Newark, NJ on Nov 14/15 this year!!! They have about 8 US shows.
아저씨 대박.
@@user-ek2se1xs1y I wish I could read this (I can only read English). 😀
I appear to be addicted to watching this reaction over and over again. I think it's the best first reaction I've found to date.
Definitely one of the top, Knox Hill is another for his initial BlackPink reaction. Caitlin Benson for her first NCT is also hilarious.
@@JenM_1973 Cami Petyn is another one. She is insane in a good way. kzhead.info/sun/qcWqe9Z_oX2nhnA/bejne.html
You should check out their last album, it’s really good!
To me it’s better then this song lool
Up
Their last album was easier to listen, but we should listen to this whole new album before judging.
Up
Watching this again after 5 months. Seeing the girls smash your preconceptions is just wonderful. I have heard Pink Venom so many times, but seeing your shock makes me appreciate it all over again.
The girl in the intro wearing red outfit is Jennie Kim (Main Rapper / Lead Vocalist) She's korean girl who studied in New Zealand for 5 yrs then went back to Korea. She's Queen in spitting bars. (Pls check SOLO) her single song.) The second girl who has brownish hair is Lisa Manobal (Main Dancer / Lead Rapper) She's from Thailand but moved to Korea bc she wants to be a kpop idol now she's known as Dance Machine of kpop. (Pls check "Lalisa / Money") her 2 solo song. The third girl who has two toned hair / blondie is Roseanne " Rosé " Park (Ro-zay) (Main Vocalist / Lead Dancer) She's kiwi / korean / australian, was born in New Zealand but grew up in Australia then moved to Korea. And yes she knows how to play guitar, piano professionally, also she has a very distinctive voice. (Pls check "On The Ground / Gone") her 2 solo song. The last girl who plays the korean instrument is Kim Jisoo (Main Visual / Lead Vocalist) She's a korean actress too aside to being an idol. (She doesn't have solo song yet but soon)
What a great reaction video! Appreciate your open mindedness and willingness to give it a chance. You have now been sucked into the world of BLACKPINK like the rest of us! You can probably tell how HUGE they are by the amount of views you already have from this!!!!!
That first part where they say “Look what you made us do” The full lyric is “After taking your soul, look what you made us do.” That part goes HARD 🫡 I’d recommend looking into Pretty Savage it’s more rap based and seems like something you guys would like. Theres no MV but there is a popular live version.
Always love when people have low expectations. It make the outcome even more dynamic. Props to yall for checking out it despite your doubts. And for being honest xDD. I knew this was going to be good
You guys definitely gained a fan. The fact that you both jumped into this blind reaction and actually liked it, I’m so loving this. I know it wasn’t your cup of tea and neither mine yet here I am beyond excited knowing they’ll be at the VMA’s in NYC this wknd. Loved your reactions gentlemen. Clicking on that subscribe button rn 🙌🏽
Yes, Rosé does play the guitar, quite well i might add. And the Piano for that matter. She was gifted a guitar by John Mayer after she did a cover of one of he's songs outside of the BlackPink group. They all do their own thing, but come together again when the stars align :P
I watched it like 20x already. loved your genuine reaction😁💜
Love that Eric was converted 3 seconds into the music video 😂 the defeat throughout the video! 😅
“This wasn’t good man, this was fucking incredible” you can tell that was genuine because he was like “fuuuucckkk” on the inside 😂😂
I’m a metal head like Kyle. I don’t know much about pop/hip-hop, but a lot of reactors are saying this is kinda a pay respects to the past, and I can totally hear it with the artists Eric mentioned. The ending dance in the water reminds me of Christina Aguilera’s Dirty video (yeah, I definitely know who she is). Great reaction guys. I just discovered Black Pink a few weeks ago myself. Very talented group, as well as the entire production team working with them. I’d love to see you guys react to BabyMetal.
Now you know why we are so addicted to BP, We superrrr love them that's why we fully support them🥺❤️
Watching this last of all your BP reactions and it's HILARIOUS to see how hesitant you were about listening to them and are now blinks!
Watched you guys react to this video and genuinely enjoyed the shock you experienced. Honestly, I've seen several metal heads, hip hop heads, and rappers react to these ladies and actually enjoy their music. So, don't feel bad.
This kind of reactors is what I’ve been looking for the past few days. First timers to kpop. Glad you two loved it. Please check their other songs. They’re all good. I swear! I subscribed btw. Looking forward to your next Blackpink reactions.
It's fun to see new Reactors being drawn to Blackpink Songs. Welcome to the club! And to inform you there are only 4 members in this group.
It amazes me how kpop has grown so much because i started getting into foreign music drama culture incl kpop before youtube and its such a new world where i dont have to scoure the internet for subs or clear copies and people are more open to trying it out and esp with youtube its exploded so many walls
Bro you should try to listen to BLACKPINK’s HOW YOU LIKE THAT, KILL THIS LOVE, DDU-DU DDU DU, WHISTLE, LOVE TO HATE ME, SO HOT (LIVE), SURE THING (Originally by MIGUEL, Covered by BLACKPINK). These are songs that has a intense impact, has hiphop vibe and I think that you guys will like. Thank you! Hope you enjoy in your BLACKPINK journey.
I think Eric's mind (and Kyle's too) might be blown if he checks out Lisa's two solo hits (Lisa was the rapper wearing the white CELINE hat in the rap, she's also the group's Main Dancer): *MONEY* kzhead.info/sun/l7J8h8mXbXp3gHA/bejne.html *LALISA* kzhead.info/sun/lNukm916f2SweKc/bejne.html FYI: Lisa is actually Thai, not Korean, she was the first non-Korean ever signed by their company. Their company supports their solo projects, so far three of the members have released solo projects, each with their own unique style.
Very entertaining to watch your genuine reaction! Keep it up’
Lovin the genuine reaction!!
