That’s true Seungmin is always waiting for his opportunity to rap he knows he’ll kill it. We need more rapper Seungmin

Toasted Toad

Wow! I did not ever expect to see a live performance of Muddy Waters! I did not think enoiugh fans would know it to make it worth their while as a concert event. And perhaps they didn't, but it's still fantastic to see them perform it. I love their pure rap tracks, and it's especially nice here that it isn't just 3Racha but includes Felix and Hyunjin too. Don't have time to watch the rest of your video now, but I'm looking forward to coming back to it a bit later. ETA watched the second number now too, and it’s interesting. I could see how nervous they were. Hyunjin and Felix were literally shaking. Felix did really well, especially using higher register as well. More was required of Hyunjin and I think he was variable. Even Han and Changbin, though lovely as usual, weren’t having one of their best days.

YAAAAASSSSSS. i love these songs and i LOVE the switch ups. I really hope you guys watched the originals as well. Okay, sitting down to watch this and i'm so glad you guys watched the original before the switch. Oh, I love this account. They always post really great copies of videos. I know yeonjin is doing like the laid back lazy rap, but I'm gonna need them to turn his mic up. But yeah, they all look absolutely fantastic here. Like, they absolutely body this performance. I love this song. Oh, my goodness, I'm so excited for you to discover this amazing video. Yes, this was a fan meet. I'm actually so glad that y'all were honest about that. Because it was the most unstable that I've ever heard them. But they still sound good. Like they were trying their absolute best. And I feel like Han and Felix actually shine the most in that performance for me. Now this one here, this switch right here is absolutely iconic. My favorite thing they've done... well before they switched solos, of course. And then once again, for the same part in the song, I need them to raise Lee Know's mic. But I've noticed that no matter what performance it is, Lee Know's mic tends to be really low. And I don't know if it's done on purpose. Like if he wants it to happen, or if they just turn his mic down? Oh Seungmin was absolutely feeling himself during this performance and honestly fair point, valid point. He should be because he bodied this song. Yes, I.N's tone is so sharp that he's always going to stand out no matter what he does, and that can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how he performs, but Seungmin! Seungmin is actually a rapper like you cannot convince me otherwise. he is actually a rapper. He has been rapping underground for so long and we just don't know what his rap name is yet, like. He ate that down. And Ian has gotten even better since then, I can't remember if y'all check it out or not. But IN and seungmin covered another 3Racha song called carpe Diem. Well, it's actually changbin and Hans, so 2basco, but they covered that at the most recent fan meeting, and they did a fantastic job. YAAAASSSSSS MAXIDENT ERA!! OH MY GOD I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE JAPANESE ALBUMS!!! You also need to get into 3Racha's discography. Including their deleted songs

EL Knox

Lead Rapper Seungmin!! 😝 LOVE LOVE LOVE .... VocalRacha / RappingRacha I also just love how SKZ can play around with their tracks like this! I remember Han was not feeling great during this fan meeting... but he really pulled out all the stops! ... and Felix being given the high harmonies in Waiting for Us is amazing.

마침내 스위치 보셨구요 2년전 팬미에서 피어난다 나와서 매니악투어때 지겹게 듣던게 왜? 했는데 갑자기 머디워터팀이 불러서 단체 비명나왔더랬죠ㄷㄷ 그리고 예상하셨겠지만 머디워터를 피어난다팀이 부르며 나오고 그날 다 뒤집어졌어요 마치 승민이가 울트라부르며 나타났을때처럼 tmi지만 .작년 승민이 생일라방에서 국힙멍탑을 회상하며 즐긴 이야기를 꽤했더랬죠 .올해 팬미에선 승민이랑 아이엔이 투리라차의 카르페디엠을 불렀는데 나중에 랩톤을 높게 잡아 아쉬워했어요.승민이가(하지만 넌 메보잖아🫠https://youtu.be/j3b49EFw45Q 이게 팬미영상이에요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ .올해 솔로곡 스위치는 멤버들이 말하길 승민이 울트라를 보기위해 라고 할만큼 월투 시작부터 승민이가 울트라를 엄청 탐냈었답니다. 스테이위크에 팬미비하인드 보시면 다들 울땨라에 얼마나 진심인지 아실거에요ㅋㅋㅋ 진지하게 머디워터 잘해서 킹받긴했어요ㅋㅋㅋ(물론 머디워터팀이 부른 피어난다도 진짜 좋아요 화음도 추가했고!

Renata

The video you guys watched of the fan meeting did not include Seungmin and IN doing Carpe Diem. You should go back and watch it.

Lauren

Waiting for Us was definitely the harder of the two for the other team to cover given it was written in the range of their top vocalists. Unstable was a great way to describe it. But they’ve all grown and I genuinely think if they were to try this again now it would show their skills much better. (Also they were exhausted, burnt out and didn’t have a lot of time to practice.) They just didn’t seem totally comfortable or confident especially compared to Muddy Water which was just a lot easier to have fun with.

Paula

Vocal team doing Muddy Water is one of the videos I rewatch occasionally and it never fails to impress me how well they did. And to lift up my mood.

Muddy Water Switch - Classic Seungmin Flex

Lauren

I would do the Japanese albums in order tbh. I think it’s an interesting evolution.

Gabrielle72

Have you guys seen Seungmin and I.N do carpe diem? I was genuinely shocked! They gave Changbin and Han a run for their money!

Toasted Toad

Please don’t come at me and don’t regard this as a criticism of Seungmin in any way - he was brilliant here. However, what he was doing was copying. The flow and pitch were created by Han (ditto with IN - you could see him recreating all the characteristics of Changbin’s rap), and with his musical ear and excellent diction, Seungmin could reproduce it well. What I’d be interested in is seeing what he could do when he has to create it from scratch himself. That is not intended to detract from their performance which I enjoyed SO much, it’s just intended as an analysis of what it was.

Elina

Ooh, this opens up the conversation, who to consider rappers. Hardcore rap fans say that you are not a real rapper unless you write your own lyrics and create your own flows, but I'm sure a LOT of k-pop rappers don't do that. Also - when Changbin and Han write the rap parts for others, they record the guide with exactly what they need and whoever gets these lines will have to follow that. Does that mean that Hyunjin and Felix aren't actually rappers, they're "just" performers?

Elina

This is the beauty of writing your own songs - Muddy Water is so clearly written for "rap team's" strenghts. I would love to hear more of Lino's rapping, he has this really nice low husky tone that would suit so well for something slow, something like Han's rap from Ceremony.

Toasted Toad

He did so well, didn't he?! I'm not sure if surprised is the word, but definitely happy.

Kumu Leato S. Savini

Love the switch!!! Would love an OT8 version of Waiting for Us

NikkiBeast

I'm picky about love songs, but Waiting for Us is a never skip for me. I just love it. I'm not a singer, so I don't know the technical stuff, but team vocal just seemed less confident overall (except for Han), which, can't blame them, considering the high range. Whereas team rap was VERY confident 😄 This performance also shows how much Hyunjin's singing, especially, has improved. In Karma it's so noticeable, where iirc he has a bunch of complementary parts with Seungmin. I also can't wait for you to get to The Sound! (Please be sure to watch the trailer, it's great, and there's a making of!)

Toasted Toad

And I'm sure that's where a lot of the disdain of Kpop rapping comes from. And I would contend that yes, in many ways, Hyunjin and Felix aren't really rappers in that sense. They certainly both require (or are helped by) a lot of coaching from Han and Changbin. That's part of why I enjoy Felix's singing more than his rapping. I do not think he adds much to his rapping other than reproducing what he is told to (although both Hyunjin and Felix produce variation through their voice colours and registers. Hyunjin has a gentleness which neither Changbin nor Han have, and Felix has the baritone register and furry voice). So although I don’t really see either of them as rap artists as such, they both also add performance and personality, which is harder to define and can be harder to imbue into music. And in this case, the vocal line had something more to go on than a guide. They had a complete performance Don't get me wrong - Felix is my bias, but I also like to be clear headed about what members contribute to the group and in what aspects. They each play crucial roles, and the good news is that it's not the same ones. That's the strength of the group. But I loved what Han said about Felix in the latest 2Kids Room - he was convinced Felix had more rap talent than people give him credit for, and he really wanted to push Felix and show it off.

Beeeeebz

FINALLY! I've been so hyped for you to finally get to this performance! Seungmin+IN rapping is just >>>>>>. I do agree that this Waiting for US perf was one of their weaker ones but it's such a hard song to sing in terms of range that even the original team I think sometimes had a hard time. Either way, it's so fun to see them switching unit songs. I need WAY MORE of Changbin singing. Do you think you guys will get to reacting to just the Skz clips of Masked Singer? That would be really fun.

Tristana Keauna

It still amazes me that you guys haven't heard The Sound - not a criticism by any means!! Your self control is astounding haha. You know me, I'm happy for whatever comes next!

tashalovestotoro

YESSS!!! Please go to the Japanese albums!! I love so many of their Japanese songs 😭😭

Inna

when you said there are people who'd been waiting for 2 years for the Japanese album — its me, I am the people. Please please do reaction to The Sound first <3

Rina

I have been waiting for soooo long to see your reactions for the Japanese albums and I'm so excited to hear you'll be doing them soon. The Sound is my absolute favourite Japanese album of theirs and my second out of ALL of their albums ! Only NOEASY beats it for me, to this day. It's that good! That being said, I do recommend that you do the same for their Japanese discography as you're doing for their Korean, and start with the start. They evolved so much through these albums that I feel like going back to those after finishing The Sound .... would be a disservice to the earlier songs. It's not gonna take very long before you're at The Sound anyway, as there's not very many tracks we're talking about, especially if you'll be skipping the Japanese versions of songs you've already reacted to. There's only 2 new songs on All In (All In & One Day), 2 on Scars (Scars & Call) and 3 on Circus (Circus, Fairytale & Your Eyes). SKZ2020 was their Japanese debut, but there's no new tracks on it, only a few japanese versions of earlier title tracks and about half of the Korean OT8 re-recordings they did. You've already done Top and Slump, too. (Scars was also included in The Sound, as it should be, but it predates the album by 2 years and all the performances of it (which I HIGHLY recommend) are from when the single released, not the album.)

Mikayla

Rapper Seungmin will forever be goated

Mikayla

YES YES YES i Definitely think that going in chronological order for the Japanese releases is a excellent idea!!

Ixaala

I remember when this switch performance happened and it was wild. I think this was towards the end of Maniac tour? And since it was their first big tour their energy went a bit up and down. And this video just made me realise how hard they have worked and grown since then (and this performance was so fun don't get me wrong) because their stamina, energy, and the vocal stability of every single member is so much higher now. I loved this performance but I would love to see them redo it now because all of them have levelled up even further since then.

Harley

I know it gets very confusing because everyone can literally do everything and they have the rachas, but technically Changbin, Han, Felix, and Hyunjin are the rap line and Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N are the vocal line! So they literally just did a rap line and vocal line switch! 🩵 And up to this point we’d rarely ever heard Felix singing like this and basically NEVER heard him doing the high notes like when he took over Seungmins (one of the MAIN VOCALISTS MIND YOU) parts! He killed it and I was and am still so proud of him in particular, and hearing it now makes it even better because you can so clearly hear his improvement in both skill and confidence of his singing since then! 🥹

J.A. Moore

The sunglasses are Seungmin's thing. It's like he's a cross between old-school rappers and the Blues Brothers, with a little bit of Men in Black mixed in. When you see Seungmin wearing sunglasses on stage, you know he's about to FLEX, baby.

J.A. Moore

And someone below suggested the "CARPE DIEM" rap switch. Seungmin and I.N did a fantastic job on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIYBHys-JSs But **FIRST**, you have to see Changbin and Han's original from the 2019 V Heartbeat Awards. (Chan created the music / beat for them.) EDIT - wait....did you guys already watch the original "Carpe Diem" in a livestream? Now I seem to remember that you did. If that's the case, I'll still leave the link here for anyone who hasn't seen the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNfkK15RC9w&list=RDvNfkK15RC9w&start_radio=1

DM Wilson

The way that Hyunjin, Felix, and even Changbin have improved vocally since this performance, I'd love to hear them do this again now. With that improvement and their confidence as singers, it would be cool to see. Nowadays, I think of the high notes in Escape that Hyunjin did or Felix in Deep End, but even a couple of years ago, Felix and Hyunjin rapped primarily. This performance stretched them. And it had to be nerve-wracking because they had to do well, versus just have fun. I think it was impressive for them to put themselves out there that way, and they did well.

승민이는 심지어 박자를 타고 놀았죠.. '고개를 바-짝 쳐드는 것-봐' ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 심지어 어떤 컨텐츠였는지는 기억은 안나지만 승민이는 본인이 마음만 먹으면 쓰리라차에 들어갔다고 우스갯소리처럼 말한적이 있어요 ㅋㅋ 그리고 그게 충분히 가능하다는걸 계속 증명중이죠 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 언젠가 타이틀이든 수록곡이든 메인보컬이 랩만하고 메인래퍼들이 노래만하는 그림이 나오지 않을까~ 싶네요 🤣😆

8watermelon7

I agree this is one of their most unstable performances and you can obviously see how nervous they were. Tbh I was a little disappointed at first after everyone hyped it up so much. But then I remembered how much courage it must've took rap team, especially hyunjin and Felix who had never gotten real vocal training, never really sang on any tracks— certainly not anything difficult, and definitely had not sang live like this. So two performance based rap members went out there ONLY singing, in front of a giant crowd, basically for the first time ever and did their best. Not to mention waiting for us was not their range and they were clearly freaking out. So for that alone I felt proud of them. That being said... vocal team doing muddy water kills me every time and I do go back to it once in a while. I wish they'd swap again because everyone's skills have improved so much and hyunjin/Felix have taken actual lessons in recent years, but I doubt that'll ever happen :(

8watermelon7

Seungmin loves to flex on us but the tone he uses when rapping is SO nerdy. I LOVE it. It comes out so dorky but at the same time it's so good 😂

J.A. Moore

SKZ being nerds is one of the many reasons I adore them, lol.

everywindsday

I remember that the WFU per fancams had good one too from other days where rap team was much more stable. It's just this recored day they were so tired

everywindsday

Okay for Case 143 recommendations: SKZ react to their MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH0OBt-nO1k (their reactions are so funny and chaos) KBS Song Festival 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlZe-YJyvtE (the mixes of Case 143 & Maniac in this per is epic) Stray Kids Encore Fancam (MusicBank 221021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srrm1Pnqazo (showing their insane vocal quality (and their backs, thighs suffering too kekeke) while singing with no in-ears and hyung-lines piggyback maknae-lines)

Emma

They also did sing it I think either right before or right after Seungmin and I.N did it at the Fanmeet.

Emma

It's kind of crazy how good it sounded despite being unstable and a bit off pitch when you really think about the circumstances of each song. The 4 main rap line, singing a song built for their vocalists specifically, after having never sang it before because they only did this switch up at the Encore shows not the main tour iirc. So, especially for Hyunjin and Felix who don't usually show that sort of singing in their other music up until that point (Even Hyunjin's singing was usually a bit more spoken lyrical than belting singing, and Felix was so above his usual register with those high notes). When you really take that into account, they did pretty amazing. And I think the Muddy Water switch team was really just out there to have a fun stage, except for Seungmin. He's there to fight Changbin for his job like his life depends on it lmao. #SeungminRapLineSupremecy. I mean, you guys have seen the clip from Weekly Idol where he beats Han and Changbin's time for a speed read/rap right..... He always said once he gets his braces off he'd be even better..... https://youtu.be/F0Fpcm8vwDI?si=GamHh2gpmg1n3MVq Found it. It's actually from the episode (Episode 526) that also has that hilarious headphones whisper game or whatever it is where hey have to guess the word, and Hyunjin's all "Chan's stripping" and hell breaks loose. From Back door era I believe.

J.A. Moore

They did sing it immediately after Seungmin and I.N, yes. You can see both performances here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIYBHys-JSs. Seungmin cracked me up when he was trying to intimidate Changbin and Han when they were doing their version, LOL.

Jen H43

Agreed 100 percent. It was a little off for waiting for us. And muddy water was amazing performance. In fact muddy water this version is one of my favorite skz performances.

Hallie

I have no preferences in which order you go through the Japanese albums, I think going through their Korean albums chronologically was nice because it showed you a lot of their progress as artists, but I don't think it's needed for the Japanese albums. I agree with every comment telling you to check out any and all of The First Take videos for their Japanese songs, because they are one of my favorite things. I just can;t wait for you to start checking out more of it because they way their Japanese stuff is so different in a really fun way is just delightful (except Hollow which was heartbreaking and I'm still getting over that).

simzz_art

That's why they are all all rounders... The singers can rap and rappers can sing...😁😁

Emmi

Seungmin did his thing ❤️

LAH-TAY

Seungmin did say that once he got his braces off he was going to take over the world of rap during the Thunderous making film so, he wasn't just blowing smoke
