📢LISTEN 📢 UP📢 ARMYS📢 HERE ARE 23 UNDERRATED RAP MONSTER TRACKS THAT YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY CHECK OUT
*there are way more namjoon tracks but this list was getting too long* *just peep his mixtape and soundcloud*
1. Rap Monster by Rap Monster
This is Namjoon’s take on “look at me now” by Chris Brown and a.k.a the first ever song to be represented by Bangtan Sonyeondan as it was the first ever track on BTS’s official soundcloud.
This is an introduction to Rap Monster as an artist and a lit track. This shit was a bop!
2. Too much by Rap Monster
This song is extremely meaningful and Namjoon’s voice sounds breathtaking. This was Namjoon’s reflection of the B-free incident. He mentions how he shouldn’t take B-free’s hate to his heart and not to over think criticism. In the beginning he sounds really hurt but omg towards the end he is going hard, and it gives me old school rap vibes.
3. Unpack your bags by Rap Monster
This song is a huge middle finger to the underground rap community who looks down on idol rappers. This was a collab with the show 4 things where he mentions how hard it was him to pursue hip hop. He mentioned 4 struggles he faced in the industry. Check out the episode, the show also shows how he interacts with his producers and Bang PDnim and this was where the really famous “ Solo, or Bangtan” moment was born. We really got to know Namjoon as an artist personally and his teenage days.This is complimented with a really cute music video.
4. P.D.D (Please Don’t Die) by Rap Monster
This is a track where he collabed with Warren G prior to his mixtape in L.A and this gives me chills because of that prominent West Coast feel. Check out the MV and the naver behind the scenes.
5. Something by Rap Monster (a.k.a my all time favourite song I don’t know why tbh)
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG TAKES ME WAY BACK! I feel as if nowadays the producers really autotune Namjoon’s singing voice and make it really shaky but hear you can prominently really hear his singing skills and It is such a sexy love song. It really gives your romantic feels and reflects on a sad teenage love story.
6. Where u At by Rap Monster
THIS IS SUCH A MEANINGFUL SONG.
Here we have high school Namjoon talking about how school has gotten the best of him. In a culture where education and status are everything, he talks about letting his parents down and confessing to his relatives about his future in Hip-Hop. Its an extremely relatable track where you think about where you want to head in the future.
7. Favourite Girl by Rap Monster
This is such a cute fuckboy song omg Namjoon’s voice is so cute in this. Young love amirite.
But I have a secret meme with this song. In 6th grade I accidentally blasted this and my teacher started singing along to it since the chorus is in english and ever since my friends have been taunting me with this song.
8. Monterlude by Rap Monster
The instrumental to this was included in the Skool Luv Affair album. This is in english and this is such a cute love song. Namjoon would spoil his girlfriend omg.
9. Promethus by Yankie feat Rap Monster
Namjoon teamed up with some popular K-rappers and his verse in this made my pussy drop BUT EVERYONE IN THIS SONG DID SO AMAZING THIS IS SUCH A TURNT SONG I WAS JAMMING TOO HARD
This song is based off of the seven sins and Namjoon plays lust..ofc.
He uses some sick korean wordplay.
10. Bucku Bucku by MFBTY feat Rap Monster
MFBTY are already korean hip hop legends and the fact that such “old” and wise rappers decided to have Namjoon feature is an honor.
He also had a little role in another one of their mvs here
11. PRIMARY (프라이머리) - U (Feat. Kwon Jin Ah 권진아, Rap Monster 랩
This song is really relaxing and I love Primary’s beats and Kwon Jin Ah’s soothing voice, But Namjoon’s soothing rap was so sexy. It was just so hot omg.
12. Awakening by Rap Monster from his mixtape
This song was from his mixtape which you absolutely need to check out and I suggest you see his other music videos such as the legendary Do You and Joke.
This song was extremely powerful and eye opening. Just ready the lyrics and you will know why.
“In the moment of my failure
will someone hold my hand?
in the moment when I come down from the stage
will that person be next to me?
just tell me that I can survive
in this cold world, just feel my vibe
every night inside me I quietly fight with myself
my heart pounds, my colleagues stab me in the back
while saying that I became a moron after joining a company
yeah fuck you I’m an idol, yeah yeah I’m an idol
at one time I hated it but now I love to get that title”
13. I believe by Rap Monster
Extremely uplifting and it brings you a huge amount of self-confidence, its a self-loving song and its a self reminder to always believe in yourself no matter how much you fall. Also has a little appearance from Jimin.
14. God Rap By Rap Monster
This song talks about Namjoon being an athiest but also has a message for believers. It talks about controlling your own life and to be your own idol. It says how you have the power of god in you and how you are extraordinary.
15. Throw Away by Rap Monster
HOLY CRAP THIS SONG IS EXTREMELY LIT
THIS IS SUCH A BOP
OMG THIS ALWAYS HAS ME JUMPING
CHECK OUT THE LIVE TOO
16. Rush by Rap Monster feat Krizz Kaliko also from his mixtape
Funny story this is how they got together and created this lit korean meets american rap track.
Namjoon goes really hard in this, check it out!
17. Drifting by Rap Monster also from his Mixtape
This song has a theme that goes with “Reflection” and “Always”, He says how his thoughts are drifting and how feels lost (almost like the track lost in wings). Its put you in a trance where you, yourself starts to think about where you are in life and what purpose you have.
18. Life by Rap Monster from his mixtape
This song got me tripping because Namjoon is a lyrical genius. The amount of questions this song got me saying is insane. Just read.
“ the little me inside myself was always lonely
why is there no opposite word of loneliness?
could it be because people, until they die, have no moments of not being lonely?
it’s necessary to seek a moment to be alone
yeah that’s a life
we live inside danger
through the reward that makes us able to see this beautiful world “
“
were we born to die, were we born to live
are we living to die, or are we dying to live
the nametag with my name on it, is that my life?
or is it death
who knows…
life, fall in love
life receives injuries from us and
is lonely because of the wind and
we wanna be right
but always wrong
were we born to be wrong?
is life something like that?
(in the end, for our whole lives we don’t know what tomorrow will be)”
19. Monster by Rap Monster from his mixtape
“R TO THE M IMMA MOTHERFUCKING MONSTER”
20. Joke. (you should probably know this)
I really did’nt want to include this because his 2 most famous tracks are Do you and Joke and I wanted to keep this list to the underrated but tbvh I was really surprised when I figured out that people don’t know this track.
HONESTLY IF YOU TELL ME NAMJOON DOESNT HAVE RAP FLOW OR CANT RAP FAST WATCH THIS FUCKING VIDEO>
In this track he said how he is mocking rappers who only have good flow but no sense of meaningful lyrics.
The lyrics in this song make no sense but the rap flow is too damn good. WHEN WATCHING THIS YOU WILL BE LIKE HONEY PLEASE BREATHE. HE RAPS SO FAST.
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE> HE GOES SO HARD HE TRUELY IS A MONSTER
21. DO YOU BY RAP MONSTER ( (you should also probably know this)
In this track he talks about how at a young age society tells us what to be, how to look, what to wear, how to behave. He says fuck whatever they say and just do you.
22. Fantastic by Rap Monster (from fantastic four)
I heard that fantastic four was shit but Namjoon got a chance to do a song for a movie which is a big deal for bangtan so WHOO
A really cute confession from Namjoon going through Puberty
