I just posted this on soompi, against my better judgement. G-Dragon, in the picture above is saying, “SHH! You shouldn’t have said anything!”
I think I’m going to offend some people with this comment so i’ll just preface it by saying “Sorry.”
Anyway, I love Big Bang but they are not the second coming and they are not the hottest thing to come out of Korea, especially not in terms of hiphop. This “new genre” of music Big Bang showed is not new, it’s called pop music. Kanye and G-Dragon are not on the same level, lets not even go there.
Seriously I do like Big Bang, Hot Issue was a fresh minialbum and thats why I love them but I think their latest Korean album is a jarble of techno and hiphop beats for the most part. They aren’t really a hiphop group anymore, they’re a pop group that wears hipster hiphop-ish clothing and is heavily influenced by hiphop, rap etc.I’m not really offended to hear you call American hiphop a joke so much as confused because if you listen to shi.tty music then it’s going to be a joke. If you listen to some good American hiphop then maybe you’ll realize that it’s not America’s “fault”, but yours for listening to Flo Rida when you could be listening to Lupe Fiasco, Pharell Williams, The Neptunes, Gnarles Barkley ETC I sound harsh but there’s no other way to put it frankly.
Also, you do realize that Big Bang has sang and rapped about maybe 3 different things since they’ve debuted? Breaking up, sex and… money… Honestly, I really cant stand when people try to put down the American industry because they can’t find good music in it.
ANYWAY, here’s why I like Big Bang
They have good music for the most part (recently they’ve been slipping)
They have good singers and good rappers
Did I mention they have good rappers? In pop music in Korea thats a rarity
They can dance and they aren’t afraid of women lolAnd here are some pictures of nice looking things so that you all don’t come looking for me and tar and feather me.
