Out of all the Cyphers, which one is your favourite and why?

A fun ask!

(let it play)

On Cyphers 1 & 2, you could tell they were still green. Those cyphers aren't good at all in my opinion. There are moments where they show some skill, but overall the flow gets awkward too many times and the instrumentation too is uninspiring. But you know, when I heard Cypher 1 and 2, each time I thought it was still a decent showing and honestly better than most of what else was trending at the time in k-pop. I thought BTS will keep improving at the pace I'd seen other groups from small companies advance at before they inevitably sputtered to an end in about 7 years.

Then I heard Cypher Pt 3.

This song for me marked one of the pivotal moments it clicked in my head that BTS were the real deal and that I should pay closer attention to their trajectory.

Remember BTS dropped this song in August 2014. These guys had been on the scene for a little over a year and they were already dressing down everyone and their mommas for the piss poor job the rest were doing at the time. Joon calling some mfs a ragtag bunch of nobodies and his diction was immaculate. Hobi was literally licking the mic to create adlibs that elevate that track from a cypher diss to a nasty stick up your ass. And Yoongi...

I sat up and paid attention to those three scrawny, almost desperate-looking boys. They had nothing to lose, and they made such sick music.

Cypher Pt 3 was their hype track, the one that got everybody to remember the Bangtan Boys could hold their own against the heavy weights. The HYYH albums followed and marked one of the most transformative eras for any group I've watched before.

Cypher Pt 4 in their Wings album two years later just sealed the deal, reminding people that BTS as artists were intent on focusing on themselves and their own journeys, and that they believed they were indeed the best.
