I particularly liked the moment in Yoongi’s verse when Jungkook and Jimin flew off as if by an explosion, but as a Hobi stan I was also happy to see the braids were gone in favor of his usual bucket hat. Not only did we get to see the boys performing the choreo but the actual visual effects were incredible.

It’s not exactly my place to speak on it, as I am Afro-Latina and not African American, but even I felt a little uncomfortable thinking about them doing this in the future. The fact they used AAVE correctly and succesfully does not mean that they get automatic permission to use it whenever. While I enjoy them and I’m definitely proud of the boys for being able to execute it so well, I do hope–like many of my friends on Twitter–that this does not become a regular thing. They seem a lot more brazen than the Korean lyrics. Whatchu think bout that? I bet it got my haters hella sick.”Īnd I’ll say that the lyrics did shock me. They did switch out the Korean lyrics of the pre-chorus and chorus for much more stylized English lyrics, declaring “Did you see my bag? It’s hella trophies and it’s hella thick. I heard some people on Twitter were upset with the use of AAVE (African American Vernacular English) which is a fair concern. It definitely was as energetic as promised and I felt like ARMYs will be quick to love the addition to the song, especially with his unfiltered enthusiasm for the boys (just check his Twitter and Instagram). I don’t just say that as an ARMY, I genuinely believe that the composition of the song stood well on its own.ĭesiigner’s verse was a fun start to the song. I’m grateful that I did because though the remix was unexpected, it was actually really good. I heard BTS remix and my initial reaction was “Oh boy.” But I put that aside when I heard the hype about Steve Aoki and Desiigner being on the track. I wanted to have some perspective and some time to reflect and I think I have some genuinely coherent thoughts about the new remix. That’s why I’ve waited all day to do this review.

But for the sake of decency, I’m going to restrain myself. I know BTS are my boys so my first instinct is always to just scream incoherently in blind excitement about anything they do.
