Musicians react & analyze ♡ SKZ - CREED

STRAY KREEDS! Next in line from the SKZ KARMA album, it’s “CREED”! Another track we first checked out from the unveil, and once again, it went way beyond our expectations. Those wild autotune effects? Done so perfectly—our ears were literally dancing. This was the first time we’ve heard SKZ go all the way into this kind of hip-hop style, and wow, we absolutely loved it. And just like with BLEEP, we cannot wait for the music video to drop—because seriously, we already saw the vibes from the unveil, and it looked insane. But for now, we’re heading straight into “Mess”. Let’s see what kind of chaos HANpop brings us this time! And of course, in the meantime, If you want more SKZ related contents and want them earlier—contents like SKZ Code, Survival Show, Two Kids Room, SKZ night livestreams and more—then hop on and join the party at http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !! :D Kpop producer and singer-songwriter react to SKZ's CREED (Lyrics Video).

YAAAAASSSSS, ITS MY SONG! Oooo, you're going to korea? Nice. The way ibwas actually flabbergasted that Seungmin started the song. Everyone was absolutely SPITTING! them putting skrr instead of squaa made me laugh. I.N ATE DOWN!!! I love this song so freaking much. I love how excited y'all got for Changbin's part because, you know Binnie is gonna ride a beat like this. The only thing I didn't like about this song is how short it was like give me another minute, please. It absolutely amazes me what your guys's musical production ears can pick up that regular listeners don't, because I never heard that cuckoo part and I've listened to this song SOOOOO MANY TIMES since it's been out. I would think it's either bangchan or Han. I mean, I personally don't think the auto tune had to be there for this, to be as amazing as it is. But it definitely sounds good enough for it to not like take away from the song. Lol, not only is Binnie getting bigger, but his vocal cords are bulking as well? 😹. The guitar was in the unveil. Lol. Thank you for explaining the lyrics as always.

Oh I love this song so much. Honestly a lot more than I thought I would after the unveil. This and Mess are tied for faves.

Star Dust

OMG ITS HERE!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!

The whiplash from CREED to MESS is actually funny. I'm so excited for your reaction to MESS and what you have to say about the lyrics. I've been rewatching your han-pop reactions and I always love the korean lessons especially bc han loves wordplays 🤣

Lari

This song is amazing!! Can't wait for mess, it's my favorite theses days

anx_krw

This is my favorite song on the album. It’s so straykids and yet so new for them. I can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of the album

I have had it in my head, every since the teaser for this came out, there's a few bars that reminds me of the song Regulate by Warren G & Nate Dogg. Just pretty much the opening line and the way the music sounds. It's probably just me, but yeah, something there just gives me those vibes 🤷‍♀️😂 Absolutely love this song, along with the whole album honestly. To me, it's one of their best albums. Probably because it feels like the music I grew up on ☺️

tova~

ugh, THIS ONE! I just love it. to be completely honest, SKZ hiphop stuff has always been great but has almost never been my favourite tracks of theirs (hiphop in general usually isn't), but something about this just got to me. it's the same with Phoenix! even though you haven't checked it out yet, you already know it's EDM, and those aren't usually my favourite tracks either - but apparently this album is just full of exceptions for me haha I think one aspect with this song that I especially loved is how Seungmin and I.N rapped on this too, it sounds so fresh! I always love it when Seungmin raps, like his little bit in Cheese and him in Easy, but I.N surprised me here also Han's iconic 'skr' lmao

Foz Meadows

My favourite English lyric in this song is "you know I bite the way I bark" - as with the Korean lyrics you mentioned, it's a really clever alliterative inversion of an existing phrase, so it's really cool to see them doing the same thing in both languages!

Vale

Since the unveil this chorus is in my head (lol) and yessss skz actually make me like more auto tune bc they used as a style and in this song is so perfect. Yesss the lazy rap of IN, Hyunjin, Han (in this album his voice is crazy) aghhhh I love, all the song is such a vibe. Idk tooooo like how is they do this amaze every time, ooooh Mess your gonna love the lyrics

J.A. Moore

Unpopular opinion - "Creed" is my least favorite song on the album. I was hoping for more, after the short teaser they released. Not sure *what* I was hoping for, but just......something more. Unfortunately, it didn't hit for me. Hopefully that will change over time. I do like the rest of the album, so overall KARMA is a great listen.

Toasted Toad

Least favourite? 😭 it’s my second favourite (after Bleep). Still, if we all leaned the same way, the world would fall over.

Toasted Toad

I saw a complaint about this song from one reactor (I think he was a rapper) who didn’t like the fact that the parts were distributed so evenly amongst the group because it meant that neither Changbin nor Han (nor any other member) had a chance to “go off” (not his words, but my interpretation of what he said). Just goes to show you can’t win. Allow Han and Binnie to do their thing and I’m sure it will be great, but you’ll also miss the contributions the others can make, and as their skills improve, those are becoming more significant. A few years ago, Stray Kids would not have been able to produce a track like this.

J.A. Moore

There have been a number of songs where Changbin and Han "went off," with the other members slightly more in the background to allow those two to shine. And there will be more in the future. One of the many things I appreciate about Stray Kids' music is their line distribution. While the members don't all have *exactly* the same time as each other in the songs, the lines are usually distributed fairly evenly because - unlike some other groups whose members tend to sound very similar - SKZ's respective voices are unique. 3Racha makes an effort to structure their songs in such a way as to take advantage of those unique qualities.

J.A. Moore

Between your reply my other comment where I said "Creed" was my least favorite, and the positive reaction videos I'm seeing from **other** rappers (not the one you mention above).....it seems I need to give "Creed" another listen.

Toasted Toad

Well, I hope you do, but if it's not your thing, it isn't. No crime in that.

Tristana Keauna

I get it. As far as the 'sound' goes, I think it's also my least favorite, a bit too repetitive for my liking, but I really love the sentiment and the lyrics themselves. "I give life to my words" an anthem we all should live by... "I bite the way I bark" yaaaaassss King lol. This has been an 'odd' album for me. I love what I hear, but it's taking me a few full listen throughs to fully appreciate what I've heard (if that makes sense), but on each 'listen through' I love it more and more.

Tristana Keauna

I think I personally was hoping for a harder hitting 'double knot' sort of anthem... but it isn't really. It's more like a Statement Piece of like... sure, we tie our shoes really tight so we can run, but also..this is 'why' we run forward.

Mary

Definitely my favorite song on the album. I agree that I.N. sounds amazing. He needs to do more like this. I have this song on repeat

J.A. Moore

Hey - Just wanted to let you know that I've listened to "Creed" several more times, and it's growing on me. :)

Toasted Toad

🤗 I'm not trying to force you to like Creed! (Don't tell anyone, but I'm not very fond of Ceremony - definitely comes after Creed and Bleep for me). Yes, they often distribute lines by giving time to the rappers, and time to the singers, so it's divided that way, without the singers rapping. However, there is crossover as all can sing and all can rap (to greater or lesser degree). Want something different, try Muddy Water, Tortoise and the Hare, and 3Racha (you can find lyric videos for all of them - the meaning of Tortoise and the Hare is especially important to understand the style). They are all rap only tracks, and really different from each other as they experimented. Hmmm. Part of my comment keeps disappearing and it's showing up as a big uninviting piece of text with no breaks. Hope it's still readable, and I've rambled on long enough anyway! I don’t know how much of a Stay I’m talking to here anyway. You could have already listened to all this stuff.

Toasted Toad

Believe it or not, there are some fans who go through each track measuring the number of seconds each member sings/raps in order to yell about mistreatment of their favourites. Tragic! (This is not a Stay only activity - I see it in many places)
