J-Hope - Jack in the Box Review (First Impressions)

Comments

Itโ€™s been 2 years but I came back to this reaction because I love it so much. JITB is still one of my favorite solo albums to have come out of chapter 2 and itโ€™s fulfilling every time to watch you guys peep every sample, inspo, vocal, and appreciate it the way it deserved. As you said, this album was made for you guys and no one reacted better in my opinion.

Zarina Ceniza

Loved the reaction fam, felt like listening to the album when it was brand new again! Blaze looked so cool in those shades lol and I loved your reaction to the ODB sample. Can't wait to watch your reactions to Hobipalooza and Indigo!!!!

AJ

I've seen this reaction 4 times and I have the same reaction everytime to the boys listening to What if. I joined Patreon for Hobipalooza but this is my second favorite reaction โœจ

Pam_Suika

Masterpiece. My favorite: what if

Mariana Nuรฑez

Safety Zone

Katrina Walton

Lyrics for Safety Zone cause ajj really wanted to know the lyrics

Katrina Walton

I have enjoyed your reviews from the beginning, but I believe you have outdone yourself on J Hope"s JACK IN THE BOX. I Love this album and I could see how much you all did Too. Keep up the good work. You make me very Happy when I watch the 3 of you at how much you love Hobi. This is one of your best reviews. So much love and it shows. Masterpiece from Intro to Arson. Perfect.

Sharon Ebert

Hello Fam, I agree J Hope really did an awesome job on this album. The Music Box:Reflection reminded me of their 2019 GDA Award show what they did before Fake Love when they acted like marionettes. I went back and listened to it, it is similar, but not quite the same. I am really loving all of them, but Equal Sign for me hits. It sounded like JK in Future but if that was our Hobi...damn. The the girl in Safety Zone sounded like one of the back singers from their Yet To Come Live with Anderson. I thought I heard RM also on that track. Stop or Equal Sign would be my pick for a reaction.

Debra West

Once I heard this album I couldn't wait for your reaction to it. I knew you 3 would love it. And I agree Blaze. I'm scared for the other solo albums because you know they're going to bring it. As they always do. Jack In The Box is so ๐Ÿ”ฅ. I reacted the same way when I first heard What If. Love you guys๐Ÿ’œ

Badmammajamma(Vette)

mayn, i LOVE future , also jhopes vocals be crazy these days

smol

I would pick Safety Zone because it is j-hope's favorite track.

Melissa Sims

Nico I am proud of you, I saw your interview with John Rives and personally I am here for your good content and above all your sincerity as reactors. fighting๐Ÿ’œ greetings from Panama there remember the rise of bangtan please

Nani Ramos

I mean..."You're my only hope." It fits even more ๐Ÿ˜‰

Crista Rigg

I canโ€™t choose between what if and safety zone iโ€™d really like to see yโ€™all reaction

Hadeel

We agree ๐Ÿ˜ฌ We reacted to it a while ago. Look for it here on Patreon ๐Ÿค“

WhatchaGot2Say

I really think yโ€™all would like jhope solo song MAMA live and lyric video honestly itโ€™s a very good song but it is very underrated so I really do suggest it

Morgan

Loved seeing the joy on your faces! I vote safety zone fam! But also equal sign and future ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Vavi T

Hi Nico, hi Adam, hi Blaze. I am a silent spectator of yours. But I have to tell you something: thank you. Thank you for your content. Bts has only been with me for a year, but they have reduced my depression a little with their music and their great personality and they are helping me to get out of my depression faster. And so are you. I haven't anyone in my sozial life who listen to BTS. So I love watching you guys. You are 100% loyal Armys. I love your reactions to the music, lyrics and dance moves. I love how you are happy/excited and how you show it with your whole body. I always look forward to a new video from you and I hope you still react to so many things. If I watch your videos, I'm just fine at the moment. Thanks for that. I love you. Keep it up. Warm greetings from Germany. Your Fabienne ๐Ÿ’œ PS: Please respond to Louder than Bombs by Bts. you will love it promise

Fabienne Ramolla

I feel you AJJ I am still having a hard time picking a fav. All the songs when they start gives you a different feeling and you can just vibe with them. I have been listening to the album from 1 to 8. You canโ€™t skip and you donโ€™t wanna skip. They are all that good. I am glad I got this opportunity to hear what other types of music that J-hope can do and I canโ€™t wait to see the rest of the members growth. ๐Ÿ’œ

Hazy

Equal sing lyrics are mustโค๏ธ

Lรญena๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’œ

Watching 3 heads bop in unison is the best thing ever. =[Equal Sign] stopped all three of you... and then ooofff course, there goes AJJ. LOL :giggling: When Jhope the doll came out, you know there are problems. Hobi's GOT vocals, this song was the first starfish moment soon as the singing switched in. What If hit and baiiiii~ Gone baby gone, cleared the deck. Glasses on, wardrobe change and all, comedy gold. Safety Zone, two bars in, Nico, really? LOL! Also, additional vocals were provided by @JaickoLawrence. Future: Nico and AJJ, I bet if you were me you'd have gotten your starfish on, you had that happy look. {Starfish-ing is when you sprawl, all limbs out, on the bed and grin like an idiot., LOL] Arson: LOL, Blaze caught Nico feeling his entire soul, Yes, I laughed. You cannot skip a track, like don't even bother to try, also do NOT shuffle this album, it would be a disservice to Hobi's hard work, this album flows so well. It's perfect the way it is. I have said many times, I don't like hip-hop rap UNLESS it is BTS. The rap line has consistently been my one and only rap artist. That said, it was amazing to me that even with me not being into rap, this album was such a call back to my youth. [I'm older than you 3] I leaned back and just vibed all the way out, so happy to hear this. It was like a return to all that's good in the world. I had such a "Oh yeah this is like the 90's! This is SO good, why isn't it like this now? This is perfect." response in release and still do, days later, after multiple stem-to-stern listens. Masterpiece, indeed. Also, does "indicative" count as a 'big word, Blaze?

-Mac-

Oh! and I vote equal sign for the 2nd song.

happles

WHOOOOAAAA! WHAT IF! THAT'S MY FAVORITE!!! Hobi took me way back to Wu Tang Clan and I'm loving it. Equal Sign is my 2nd favorite. These youngsters don't know about the 90's & how rap/ hip hop was so much better (IMO anyway). Jhope raised the bar so high that now I'm curious what his brothers are going to drop on us. Should we worry? Cam we handle it? We shall see. OMG, Hobi completely gave us something different AND a taste of the past.

Delilah Rivera

Oh I was just waiting for you guys to get to "What if". This album is a masterpiece, it's definitely a 'no skip' album for me. I heard a rumour that Lollapalooza is streaming his set on their youtube page - I really hope that's true! An amazing reaction as always guys - thank you!

Corrina Rayson

I can think of nothing better than to get to listen to this for the first time with folks like y'alll, who are born & bred hip-hop to the bone. Who better to certify Hobi's authenticity and faithfulness to the art and craft of the music. You recognized his perfect use of the ODB sample and everything. Right away, it made me wonder what that would sound like coming back the other way ... and I thought of Mr. Shawn Stockman's beautiful and iconic informal cover of "Serendipity" after seeing Jimin perform it at the Rose Bowl in 2019. Talk about joining hands across the world! I love this, thank you!

Drumgranny

Thank you for doing this!!!! What an incredible album!! Love your reaction just what I was looking for!!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Cindy Mackey

I vote Future!

Zerose777

Yes the gogo beats transported me back to college in DC and gogo night at the club.

Ravislyn

Aaaaahhhh thank you so much for this, i had so much fun watching you guys react to Hobi's greatness ๐Ÿฅน I honestly hope he can see this reaction i feel like he'd be so proud ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅน i vote for safety zone or equal sign guys ๐Ÿฅฐ

jam

Great reaction guys I loved the reaction and yall commentary at the end I can't wait for more BTS from yqll. I couldn't choose a favorite either so definitely understand Ajj ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™ yall stay safe and healthy.

Lexi

Agreed and LOVE how you put that. This truly is music that you play as an album ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’ฏ

WhatchaGot2Say

Facts!!

WhatchaGot2Say

What???? Dope!!

WhatchaGot2Say

JHope did an interview posted today on bangtantv make sure you check it out he answers some question about the album and about the process

Que Williams

Hobi has the best sub-vocals & is a great sub vocalist, we been knew he was that good lol

Madison

I have the whole album in every playlist! Safety zone is my favorite! No skips ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Erica

Omg literally after posting this why my next song on shuffle is only god can judge me ๐Ÿคฏ

Deejay

Man I keep accidentally hitting the post buttons lmao thatโ€™s why I have multiple posts ๐Ÿ˜…

Deejay

start off withโ€ฆ. Brothas we have 6 more to go ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

Deejay

favorite!!! If we feel like this with the first meme we to

Deejay

Yes I was waiting for this !!! I know exactly how yโ€™all feel! And I said what AJJ saidโ€ฆ Tupac all eyes on me book1 and book2 baby!!! My all time

Deejay

Thanks so much for the reaction. I love getting your perspective as a person who isn't knowledgable about rap and hip hop. You really helped me to access this album even more. I, too, really liked What if. But it is the movement from one song to the other in the album that is really the best. Sometimes there is music you play tracks from and other times there is music you play as an album (Dark Side of the Moon anybody). I think this is one of those. and since it is so short it's easy to do.

Fran G

We will react to one. Which one is your choice out of these two? Trying to tally up the votes ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

WhatchaGot2Say

Love the reaction!!! I canโ€™t skip a single song on this album!!!

Laura Skinger

Awesome reaction! I hope you react to Equal sign and Safety zone lyrics

Melissa Sims

It was a pleasure reading this comment just now. Itโ€™s cool that we can share these special moments together. Moments like these donโ€™t come often so we really gotta cherish them when they come, ya know? Yeah you know ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿค“

WhatchaGot2Say

Fiya and DEE ZI-I-RRRRRR ๐Ÿคฃ COME ON!!! You definitely a Real One FAM

WhatchaGot2Say

Hey whatโ€™s goooood FAM ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I can feel your energy beaming from this comment and I love it!! COME ON!!! ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

WhatchaGot2Say

Iโ€™m glad we are able to help. Much love to you FAM ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’œ

WhatchaGot2Say

Lol glad youโ€™re still with us in this life FAM ๐Ÿ˜… but I feel ya. This album really did take us back to the good days when we used to have the 10 inch kenwood subwoofers in the back of the trunk and the whole neighborhood could here you coming from miles away.

WhatchaGot2Say

Heyyyy ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Glad you was feeling the same way about the length. You get it ๐Ÿค“

WhatchaGot2Say

Where are these lyric videos from BigHit? I donโ€™t see them on YouTube. And yeah they wouldnโ€™t be able to sample a track without permission so that was never a question ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ˜…

WhatchaGot2Say

Like a comforting hug. I like that ๐Ÿ˜Š Happy that you had a good time with us once again FAM ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

WhatchaGot2Say

Yeah it was RZA, the producer of the original song that we were singing during our review. The writer of the song they sampled was named Ol Dirty Bastard and he passed away years ago sadly.

WhatchaGot2Say

Your comments always have the best summaries FAM ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

WhatchaGot2Say

Weโ€™re going to look up the lyrics for all the songs. Pick one that you would like for us to actually react to ๐Ÿ˜…

WhatchaGot2Say

This album was everything and more. I got some Black eyed peas , ODB, Wu Tang, some Chicano rap, Cypress hill , Dre. . Etc. He was very influenced by the 90โ€™s rap era. Safety zone was my top favorite tho ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Monique โ™ก๏ธŽ

YAY great notification to wake up to :)

tom h

You guys have to look the lyrics for what if/ equal sign/ stop/ safety zone. These four are deep

Hadeel

I've received two new phenomenal blessings in life... "Jack In the Box" the album, and "Jack In the Box" review by WG2S. Life is good baby. I love that even though J-Hope is showing his new/other/darker side, it still brings me so much JOY and energy in life! He's just amazing inside and out.

7ShadesOfPurple

๐Ÿ˜†Nico ain't sharing his Hope Cigar. AJJ been training to dance to STOP his whole life. AJJ dance cover ๐Ÿ‘€ in the future? Blaze - All you gotta do is bring it back, you ain't gone skip a track. ๐Ÿ˜‚Hobi doll had to make another appearance. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Hobi done chased NIBLAJJ off screen. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Standing Ovation for Jack In The Box.

happles

Fun fact : a wu-tang member actually gave jhope permission to sample their song

Rays Life

OMG I was waiting for this!!! It did not disappoint!! (Not that your reactions ever doโ€ฆ) ๐Ÿ˜Š This whole album is amazing!! No, you can not skip any songs. They just flow perfectly. Also the nostalgia, but also the newness of it. Itโ€™s like a comforting hug from an old friend. Hobi, showed us all what he can do with this album. The others are definitely going to have to work even harder to top this. Thank you guys!! You made my night! Love you all to life. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Tindo

Imo, Hobi wrote a love letter to 90s hip hop with this album. Great review fellas.

Rochelle2407

Links?

Rochelle2407

BigHit have released official lyric videos for each song on the album, so no more worrying about choosing! Also, definitely look up the credits, Wu Tang definitely approved of Hobi's track! What If was produced by Dem Jointz and the writing credits are Dem Jointz, โ€‹j-hope, R. Diggs (RZA) & R. Jones (ODB).

Cat L

Great review. GREAT album. Hobi blows my mind. It's crazy.

Anita

i was dying to see your guys' reaction, i knew you would love it when i heard all the 90s influence. hobi really knocked out of the park with this one, the production is so crisp, it's so fun and addicting to listen to. he really left me speechless, so refreshing to hear this sounds nowadays too. the fact that the album not only sounds beyond amazing but he also made everything so cohesive regarding the concept is just *chefs kiss*, you can tell this was made and curated with nothing but love, passion and hard work. ya'll had me dying " the whole one not just one cheek" LMAOOO i feel you so much about the lenght Nico, when i saw how much each song lasted i thought it was too short but when i listened to it i did not care at all, everything that he wanted to say was said and done perfectly so it didn't feel cut short, for me each song could last 10 mins because i could hear him rap for hours on end though. i can't believe we're yet to see him perform these songs at lolla though... oh my god

blue side

This was the first time I listened to the album as well. Why was I holding my breff? Not breath, breff. I was so anxious at the beginning of each song because I wanted it to be awesome. I didnโ€™t realize I was holding my breff until I damn near choked to death. This album brings back soooo many memories. We had huge speakers and a subwoofer back in the day. As soon as my parents left, let me tellllll you! If you didnโ€™t hear โ€œMo Murderโ€ a mile away away then you were deaf. Much love to Hobi for bringing back the good ole days of hip hop/rap.๐Ÿ’œ

Jeanene

Dude! I knew this was going to be good! You guys are so expressive. Blaze, loving the shades, caught AJJ cheesing, and the speed that you guys recognized the sample lol! It was such a good time! The singer in Safety Zone is Jaicko Lawrence. He was apparently suggested by someone that worked on On and Black Swan. His voice fits perfectly. I would love you guys to react to Future/Stop for the lyrics. I gotta say that my faves are Equal Sign n Safety Zone not because of the music because all of the songs are ๐Ÿ”ฅ but because of the message. Army has been blowing Equal Sign up too. It trends on twitter off and on lol! "All you can do is bring it back, you aint got to skip a track," is going to be my Lollapalozza sign y'all!!! With Blaze's permission of course...

Rae Avilez

Safety Zone for me-its seems like the most personal and most emotional one. Its become my favorite because there are some very relatable feelings on it. Also, I've seen a few comments on some forums that some fans are planning tattoos with the lyrics from Safety Zone and Equal Sign.

Lilanea

I wish jhope could see this reaction. I feel like heโ€™d feel so seen by yโ€™all picking up on all the references most people will overlook

Ayu

This album is complete. I don't think we've had that in a long time when it comes to hip hop/rap. It's so new, yet so familiar and I agree it was made for us, in a sense. These are the beats and vibes we grew up on and were new new at the time. We know with music, each generation tends to sample, pay homage, redefine etc. It could end up trash or it can balance both the past, and break through to their own future. Hobi just did that with the greatest amount of creativity, poise, respect - I mean it's insane really, it's innovative and it's outstanding and not many can do this, yet he just did. I agree wholeheartedly this is meant to listen to front to back (and on loop like I've been doing ๐Ÿ˜†) and I don't want to say I have a favorite... just like BTS I'm OT7, and just like Jack in the Box I suppose I'm OT10 ๐Ÿ˜Ž but What If...yo that song has an absolute HOLD on me - from first listen to. Visions of rollin around the hood with my friends, meeting up at the QFC parking lot just to kick it, listening to our CASSETTE TAPES ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ but like you said about sampling, with jhope spin and his voice - I completely forget that. I was saying, up until you heard it "WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO WHAT IF!!!" The fact you kept starting form the beginning is MOOD and I'm here for it ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ I adore y'all but I must say, it's the hip/hop, rap and dance that drew me to your channel in the beginning. This was awesome, I pretty much agree a thousand thousand percent with everything you say and a pleasure to vibe with yall and have fun. p.s. Blaze needs that on a shirt. AJJ can totally dance with just his face and neck and Nicos clothes change was *chefs kiss* L๐Ÿ’œ and WU TANG FO LYFE ๐Ÿ˜Ž

D'Alice Craig

I wish I could see this at Hobipalooza! I had fun listening to this with you guys. It is an amazing piece of art. My lyric pick is Equal Sign.

Kecia โท

Oh you have to do a lyric reaction for equal ๐ŸŸฐ sign!

Jill L

My pick for lyric video is: safety zone! Itโ€™s in my top 3 after letting the album digest โ˜บ๏ธ So Iโ€™d love to see your reaction to that one

Thea

So appreciate your reactions! Thank you.

Mamasanjan

Your album review was worth the wait and I'm glad you all waited to listen to it together! I feel like Blaze ascended to another dimension when What IF dropped and those shades came on!! rotfl I agree with everything mentioned and I'm so grateful that Hobi is so meticulous of his craft. I felt is passion within every beat. He turned his flow into a weapon in place of dancing this time and I am in awe of his versatility. My vote is for Safety Zone or Equal Sign. Those hold a special place for me.

Chantelle

I love seeing you guys and I really appreciate when you explain the history of hip hop, I am foreing to hip hop culture and together with BTS, you've helped me understand a little and even better, to appreciate the culture. Loved this reaction, I laugh a lot

Sarah

When I first heard MORE and ARSON I wanted them to be longer like Nico mentioned BUT when the album was released and I did as J-Hope asked and listened to it from start to finish I see now that they are perfect. I mean its a novella and every song is a chapter. You absolutely have to listen in order! I loved this reaction. Chapter 2 is turning out to be legendary. L๐Ÿ’œ

L.A. Kennedy

anyway AJJ was right about Safety Zone touching on alot of things... A translator said this song is his most poignant https://twitter.com/ColinSH3/status/1548352720108912641?s=20&t=-TJLUnBm91lEKMOKZHmghw

emx

THE HOBI-ONE KENOBI-ONE PLS SASDJSKJF

emx

Been waiting for this!!!!!!!!! OMG. YOU GUYS ARE SO FUN!!! KING JHOOOOOOOOPE!!!!!! What an incredible artist. I agree with you Nico, the only โ€œbadโ€ thing about this album is that itโ€™s not 20 tracks long. Itโ€™s just so good. I feel greedy. Lol. And AJJ i feel you, itโ€™s been daysss and i still canโ€™t name my fave song out of this album. Not even top 3. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

AGB

Loved this!! Ever since I first heard "What If" I've been dying to see you guys react to the ODB sample and this did not disappoint! You guys are the best, love the album and love your reaction. For a second song for lyric review, I vote for "Safety Zone"!

Adrian

I forgot my lyric pick. Too excited, on cloud 9. I vote for Pandora's box. I had to study Greek and Roman mythology in elementary school. Have always appreciated J Hope picking "Hope" thinking of exactly this story. So I'd love that one. But any of them is gold and will be fiyah (and DEE ZI-I-RRRRR) โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅTHANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING ALL YOU ARE FOR US! ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ

A REAL ONE

That was Brilliant! The album and the review. You guys take it to another level. Shout out to Mika's (my apologies if I spelled your name wrong, Queen) strength in not letting any of that greatness slip until y'all got to THIS! I am so looking forward to the lyric review. I mean... *speechless* Future.... GO GO beats?! Hobi ... you ain't leave none for nobody! #Respect

A REAL ONE

YES YES YES!!!!! Oh I cant wait! I'll be back after I watch!

D'Alice Craig

For a lyric video i would say either โ€œSTOP (there are no bad people in this world)โ€ or โ€œSAFETY ZONEโ€ โค๏ธ These lyrics impacted me the most, as itโ€™s jhopeโ€™s deep thoughts about the world and people around him as well as his inner struggles ๐Ÿ’œ loved this video thank you!

Mia B

I couldn't wait to see your reaction to What If and y'all didn't dissapoint. Loved listening to this album with ya and hearing your opinions <3

Jessie

Ahh I loved being able to experience this album again with you all. and He really did show his ass cause I thought Hope World was sumth but this right here?? It's laced with crack, the only explanation. "What If" being cowritten by the WU-TANG Clan is truly just nuth to fuck with. Hobi once again ace & Unstoppable force in the industry. Thankyou for another great reaction!

Dy'Nasha

I listened to the album when it dropped. I had to contain my excitement due to my grandson sleeping beside me. I will say that I listen to the whole album on my way to work everyday. I am so glad that you guys have reacted to Jack in the Box. You guys are great. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Carolyn Brandon

The way I've been waiting for this to drop, refreshing the page every hour. Really wanted to freak out with you guys about this album. L๐Ÿ’œ

Fareeba Faruq

So excited to watch this later! I listened to the album when it came out and I couldnโ€™t stop thinking about how much yโ€™all would love it!
