“maybe it was the positive songs i heard as a kid”,, i can hear the epik high ref in this,, yoongi referred to their song “fly” being an inspiration for him to become a rapper and their albums around that time (2006-2007) had a strong theme of healing

here’s yoongi talking about it and i can honestly talk forever about epik high bc,, they also influenced me a lot growing up. their songs handled a lot of topics that were way ahead of their time dived into very complex human mentality themes
