Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] The Roots (Feat. Justhis) - Khundi Panda @ Quarterfinals
[+2.1K] Featuring Seo Donghyun was a great move
[+1.8K] The days when the few of them had to hang out together in the basement room to make music while being hungry.. And the artists who painted that those times in a calm manner.. All I can say is that they're really cool...
[+1.1K] When Giriboy came out, the smile Lil Boi gave was really sincere so I thought that was kinda sad and cute .. Thank you for staying the same despite the hard times and for continuing to make music Lil Boi!
[+1K] It feels like a carol so I like this. This type of atmosphere is nice as well. Fills me up with excitement.

[+19K] It's burning, starting with us 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Khundi Panda's comment)
[+8.2K] Naturo ㅜㅜ Sasuke ㅜㅜ (Daddyking, a Game YouTuber's comment)
[+3.4K] JUSTHIS - MOMM (Feat. Kid Milli)
JUSTHIS - Diablo
JUSTHIS X Khundi Panda - The Roots
⮑ [+1.2K] EK disappeared entirely ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
⮑ [+766] F*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You're too much ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+1.5K] It's great that they did not try to only appeal to the public and went all out with their raps in a song like this ㅠㅠ Even though they only rapped fiercely, their rap skills were awesome and I'm still in awe every time I watch this ㅜㅜㅠ퓨ㅜ
[+1.1K] It's the first time Justhis rapped in SMTM where we can see his face properly.. I really wanted this... My heart is swelling forreal
Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] Infrared Camera - Wonstein @ Quarterfinals
[+3.7K] Ah.. This is really great... It's the first time I'm seeing a SMTM performance that is this nice, mysterious, trendy, calm, warm and has this rhythmic, cool and cute(?) feeling...
[3.7K] What I felt in SMTM9:
It's not singing rap that's bad, it's because kids who weren't good did singing rap
⮑ [+256] I f*cking agree ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+3.3K] I can't go about my daily life because my mind's been distracted by this song since last night ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[+2.9K] How is it that a person that's been stuck in the countryside for 26 years can be this soulful ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can only say that he's really a genius
[+69] Woah the recorded version is also really good but his live is so good that I keep coming back to watch this (Takuwa's comment)

Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] Achoo (Feat. pH-1, HAON) - Miranni @ Quarterfinals
[+3.4K] Season 8: There were no songs that could rescue the show
Season 9: There are too many songs that can rescue the show
[+3.1K] pH-1's hook is really trendy;; Miranni's verse was really stable and her high note gave me goosebumps. Haon was so cool that I'm left speechless
[+2K] Seriously, Groovy Room has never disappointed me before. They're really crazy people ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+1.2K] Munchman truly enjoyed Miranni's stage, and Miranni also gave Munchman a shoutout. They're both the likable type.
[+1K] It's a shame that there were so few people in the audience... If there was a big audience, people would be like "wow~~~" when Haon appeared and followed along with the hook. Damn it, corona.
Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] Tricker (Prod. Groovy Room) - Mushvenom @ Quarterfinals
[+3K] You can really see that Mush keeps changing things up ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In one performance alone, he did a calm rap on a grandiose beat, a freaking fancy hook and a fierce rap. They're all there, he's a person who feels like a red ginseng gift set ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+2.6K] I just want to support Mush. He's kind and there's just something alluring about him.
⮑ [+70] I know right. After I watched how he prepared for the VVS performance, I felt like he's a cool person and decided to cheer him on.
[+1.5K] Ah but it must also be really tiring for Mush... For every stage, it seems like the audience wants something new from Mush and even when he's gonna release his album next time, they'll do the same as well. No matter what he does, it must be burdensome for him to keep having to show something new and tiring for him to come up with a new composition. I'm sure he must be thinking about new ideas all day long
[+1.3K] Audience: What, Mushvenom has no featuring?
???: 'The Beauty of Emptiness' (T/N: They're lyrics from his verse during the second preliminary round)
[+1.1K] Mush-fficial: This is a song that showcases the fighting spirit of independent fighters.
Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] Flashing (Feat. Han Yohan, OLNL) - Skyminhyuk @ Quarterfinals
[+4.7K] Hello everything, thank you for watching my performance that's lacking. While filming SMTM, it was a time where I've learned really a lot of things and developed myself more. I was also very disappointed and had a hard time as I hit my limits, but I'll get back up again and do my best to let you guys listen to better music. I'll always be humble while continuing to learn <3 sky slatt (Skyminhyuk's comment)
[+1.2K] What we need to know here:
1st: Minhyuk rapped with all his strength for Chillin Homie's sake as well
2nd: Minhyuk expected himself to be eliminated, but performed harder than anyone else when the opportunity came
3rd: Minhyuk is one year older than Chillin Homie
[+950] Even though Minhyuk got to go on stage cos Homie left the show due to his panic disorder, I sincerely respect Minhyuk's efforts to revise his lyrics 12 times after receiving feedback from the producers
[+722] How must it feel to be on a stage where no one has any expectations for, knowing that you'll be eliminated? Despite that, he still performed that hard. I almost teared up because I felt that he looked cool.
Original Source (YouTube): [Episode 8 / Full Version] Mask On (Feat. Paloalto, Coogie) - Layone @ Quarterfinals
[+1.4K] A rapper who receives compliments for writing meaningful lyrics
[+1.1K] The hilarious thing is that Basick was watching him with a big smile but the subtitles that popped out were like "rappers' acquaintances do not have the right to vote" ㅋㅋㅋ
[+928] The theme of the song may seem childish, but it's a fact that this is a song that attacks Ryu Jungran* (T/N: Ryu Jungran trespassed into CGV without a mask on)
[+847] Basick really looked happy that Layone came out. He looks like a grandma who's happy that her grandson appeared on TV ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+740] 1:00 The rapper who even gave up on subtitles (T/N: See screencap above lmao)
