So I was debating what to write about since I listen to alllllllllll types of music; and finally I narrowed it down to the two songs that I heard the most over the summer. Like literally every day; and I still hear them every day, because now my sisters sing them, along with one of my little brothers. You should see them dancing now. This may be what they call a “culture shock” for some, but whatever. Oh, and they’re Korean.
2NE1 - I am the Best
Knock Out - GD & TOP , apart of a group called BigBang
This song was banned because it made no sense...lmao if we were korean there would be nothing on the radio.
You should also watch this
I don't know why you watched that.
I don’t know if you could tell, but these two groups have similar styles. It’s because they’re from the same company: YG Entertainment. I have to say, they produce some interesting artists. The first thing guys usually say is: “They look gay.” Well…one, they’re jealous; and two, they’re not use to Korean pop culture in general. I can understand it, my dad said the same thing. Furthermore , it’s really funny to call it Korean pop culture since they get their style from R&B black artists. Oh dear the things I could show you. My mom keeps telling me to “just listen to black music, why don’t you listen to black music..blah blah blah.” The truth is I do, but a lot of it isn’t like this anymore, and has fallen to pieces. I could literally see it separating into ignorance and noise. Why can’t it be more like…
Do you hear those instruments? God.
But anyway, the reason why I probably like Korean music is because I have so many nice memories associated with it. Hanging out with close friends and all. Memories make even the lamest of music sound great, and the greatest sound like crap. Today I was asked if I was an oreo. Last Friday Night by Katy Perry was on. That songs sucks even more now. Anyway I really do listen to all kinds of music, classical, rock, hip-hop, techno-ish (no hard core stuff), traditional/modern Chinese, Japanese, Cuban, Puerto Rican, white people….everything.
Sorry if this wasn’t what you were looking for in a music review, but make the most of it. Regardless of what I say or try to convince you of, you’ll still walk away with your own opinion from your first impression of when you clicked the button, and watched the video. So do what you will.
Digable Planets. I am happy to see that the next generation is still in touch with them. Check out Shabazz Palaces (Black Up is the best). Ismael Butler aka Butterfly from DP is the emcee.
