i know that the lyrics for 'gossip man' have been shared before..but this is a translated version from the viptranslators.

06. Gossip Man (Feat. 김건모)
Composers: G-Dragon + Teddy | Lyrics: G-Dragon | Arrangements: Teddy
Translated by: Ladykwonn + gdluvzmc @ VIPtranslators
*do not add to or remove credit line*
-note: ITALICS are sung in English

[GD] Emergency
Emergency
Emergency
E-mer-gen-cy

[Chorus - GD + 김건모]
Hey man~ What�s the topic of today�s gossip again?
Not a single day of silence � Why~ Why (do) you~
Everybody, attention please
I am Gossip Man

[GD] (Whassup) Ladies and gentlemen, ho!
They call me Gossip Man, you know
People who know enough all know
The truth is not what it seems
Today, (they) said a girl threw water in my face at a caf� [T/N: he made a splashing water sound. lol @ the sound effects]
Yesterday, (they) said some guy kicked me hard with his foot in an alley (ow) [T/N: "they" being the tabloids/paparazzi]

Who, me? No, lie
I hear all the rumors about me
The numerous eyes (at me) are frightening
This much I know, but I laugh it off (haha)
In the past, I�ve cried many times
More and more, (their) mouths continue to inflate
With much thought, I speak less and less
World, give me back my life

�Because you�re cool, cool�
Yes I am cool, cool
It may be enjoyable, and it could be fun as well
Yeah~ If the bored world is solely entertained from knowing about my life,
Say~ Superman, Batman, like (them, I sign) X.O.~ Gossip Man

[T/N: "X.O." is shorthand in writing, "with love." essentially, what the hook is saying is: because people think he's cool & everyone finds his life so entertaining (emphasis on "himself," as if to say "they" tend to pick on him), like Superman/Batman, he's become "Gossip Man." genius.]

[Repeat Chorus]

[GD] In school, at the company, at the office, or even at home
Even the TV, CD, radio, MP3, hot news, magazine
They�re waiting for something, bored as usual
Now, the prepared subject of conversation for today is coming

As the day begins, their pens are quickly put to work
Checking out the current search ranking,
The many netizen�s fingers are overworked
The situation is beyond serious
Our nation is a �hot pot�
In a blink of an eye, everything will cool down
Popular trend? Do your thang
Conduct? Zero, (I) do my thang

[T/N: here, he points out (more like makes fun of) how something little gets blown out of proportions, sparking major controversy/gossip among netizens, but eventually cools off. then he says to do your own thing & if questioned about his conduct/behavior, his answer is zero. he does his own thing/ steps out of line]

�Because you�re cool, cool�
Yes I am cool, cool
It may be enjoyable, and it could be fun as well
Yeah~ If the tough world is entertained by just my only self,
Say~ Superman, Batman, like (them, I sign) X.O.~ Gossip Man

[Repeat Chorus]

[김건모] What�s with all the words? [T/N: words/talk/gossip]
What the hell are you so curious about?
It�s their own life (ey)
Unnecessary controversy (ey)
Don�t let it matter and stand up
Go on boy, let him go~~

[Repeat Chorus]

[GD] Alright, I�m done yo
What�s my name?
Say Gossip Man
(Haha) You know what it is

Everybody, attention please
I am Gossip Man

FINALLY! A statement from YG himself - the long awaited statment. Like other fans, I was worried and anxious throughout this whole week b/c of GD, but YG's statement and the fact that GD still won #1 on MNET despite all the accusations make me so happy right now.

I've come to admire and respect YG since reading this statement. Before I don't really care much for YG b/c he's always pushing deadlines and never delivering things like promised, but I see him in a different light now. From his statements, I can see that he truly cares for the artists under his label - the emotions they felt (happiness, sadness, frustration, anger...) he too felt them himself; it's not only GD that is being attack, but its GD and the whole YG family, especially YG. It's not a common thing to see a president that would stand 110% behind his artist and stand up for his artist against the media, the netizens, and the antis. My favorite line is definitely 'If the 4 songs you warned YG are proved to be innocent in the near-future, you should be prepared to see YG's reaction. If things are cleared up, I would love to see YG go after *them*.

One thing I disagreed with YG - GD does have that 'sense' but he's also a genius too. YG said that he himself, the YG family, and even GD did and do not consider GD a genius, but where did the title 'boy genius' come from? It comes from ppl that recognize talent when they see/heard one. Mozart is just Mozart, but he becomes the legendary Mozart b/c enough ppl recognize his talents, and same goes to GD, GD built up that reputation b/c most or majority of ppl believe that it is so - time and time again, GD proved himself by delivering hits after hits (all under his name) that made BB a household name. If ppl actually take the time to think back, then they'll agree that Wondergirls/2PM/2AM/Rain became famous b/c of JYP, SNSD/DBSK/SJ became famous b/c of SM, but then what about BB - who can BB be grateful for for making them famous? That person has to be GD (not YG, not Teddy, not Perry, not Kush) - you cannot look through BB's albums w/o seeing GD's name all-over the credits - so GD does deserve the 'boy genius' title (at least to me).

About PMS - I hope he has a lot of fans b/c he just have an anti in me.

::EDIT::

KBS2FM Unbans YG Entertainment

We were all informed about KBS2FM boycotting YG Family and now it has been announced the boycotting has come to an end.

The whole controversy was about the matter of G-Dragon being a guest on Super Junior's Kiss the Radio. Supposedly, YG Family did not know G-Dragon was going to appear on the show when KBS2FM announced he was coming on the radio show. When G-Dragon pulled a no-show, both sides were angry about the situation.

KBS2FM was mad at the irresponsibility of G-Dragon and his representatives. They thought it was disrespectful and that they had to talk to YG before figuring things out. YG Family stated that they never confirmed his guest appearance on the show and that something went wrong in the communication.

On a phone call with Newsen on the 25th, YG Entertainment expressed, "It was all a misunderstanding so we personally talked things out." It has also been confirmed that KBS2FM will now start playing YG Entertainment's songs again.

Meanwhile, Yang Hyun Suk, president of YG Entertainment, has released his side of the story on the plagiarism accusations against his artistes.

� allkpop

One thing has been solved....XDDD
Good thing they have clear up the misunderstanding....... This is the power of YG's statement I think...hehehe.....
I hope the problem with Sony ATV will end soon.......

[hannacorsino]

its nice to read good comments for G-dragon i really think
that he's good and talented.. actually i like PMS before
he did what he did.. those articles would really give GD
a heartbreaker .. hopefully GD would be stronger than we
thought...

and i agree with prettygirl_pc the whole thing is
huge because G-dragon is a big thing... everyone wants
to ride in his stardom..

G-dragon fighting!!!

[naturalhonee]

GD isn't performing on today MuBank, right? I just read the performers list and there's no GD...
Well, I hope he is resting right now....GD looking really tired on the red carpet pics...

GD wont be on music bank today because he will be at the Supermodel event (shown on sbs) instead.
2ne1 will be there too.


i havnt heard the exact conversation that pms had with his guests on the show, but i'd like to think that pms & his guests saw the situation (how publicized this whole YG-GD-plagiarism issue was in korea) as an opportunity to discuss a general problem in the korean music industry.
and i'd like to think that "national humiliation" was how they felt about the prevalence of plagiarism in kpop as a whole.
however, if they were trying to pin that all on GD....well, i hv no respect for that sort of thing - riding the wave and trying to gain more attention at the expense of someone's dignity. not just as an artist, but as a human being.
anyway, i hope my initial interpretation is accurate.

i am super glad that YG
finally make a statement to
the public regardging Kwon Leadah's
'plagiarism' issues...

i just love it when YG said these:
"The funny thing is, for the past 9 years G-Dragon has resided in YG, never I nor YG called him as a genius
composer."
& "The term �genius� does not suit the 22-year-old composer, and nor does he want it. The reason why so many
people have their hopes for him, is not because he is a genius, but because he has his unique style and sense
towards music."

Kwon leadah's looks like
he got some mysterious & shocking
stories to tell,in the way he
pose at the Strong Heart Recording.
gahh..this leader.

GD wore the same pants that he had on Breathe.

[&teekayy;]

I think YG made a good move, and he was very honest in his released statement. Very respectable.

As for the accusation that "Heartbreaker" sounds like "Right Round" ? Are you serious? I never even heard the similarity between the two songs. And if it is anything that the songs have in common, it's the sounds used in the song. And just because there are the same sounds in the songs, it doesn't mean the SONGS sound the SAME. Retards. Anyways. I don't think it's a big deal and Sony is just...

Here it is:

From YG - 2009 09 24

Hi, It's Yang Hyun-Seok.


For the past few months, there were way too many rumours and misunderstanding regarding YG Entertainment.
Frankly speaking, we kept our words, because we did not think it was right to defend against every single rumours.
I am feeling deeply sorry for burdening you with our silence, and decided to explain ourselves.

I will answer the questions as if we were in an interview setting.

There has been an issue of plarigiarism regarding G-Dragon's solo album title song, Heartbreaker.
How come YG has not released an official statement regarding this issue?
- Apart from the part of this issue, as a person who loves music, and as a producer who is taking part in improving
popular music industry, I apologize from deep below. The reason why YG and G-Dragon did not release a statement
up till now, is because we heard that the publishing companies have sent the music file to the original composer,
and we have been waiting for a reply.

We did not think it was right to release our opinion before the composers have.

It was broadcasted on "News magazine 2580 (시사매거진 2580)" that Sony ATV has sent a warning to
YG entertainment. What is YG's response?
- First of all, we are very upset towards Sony ATV. Everything they do, they try to justify it in the media as an
official statement. I do not know whether they sent the warning to YG or they sent it to broadcast it in the media
in the first place.

To the makers of music, the word 'plarigiarism' represents the worst honour. Even if the composers say 'it isn't
plarigiarized', it remains as unhealed deep wounds to those involved. In case of "Heartbreaker", the other publishing
companies owning 90% of the rights have remained silent, whereas Sony, owning 10% of the rights, have released
their "official statement" on the media.

A few days ago, a lawyer from Sony ATV was interviewed with "News magazine 2580", and told that they have sent
a warning to YG entertainment. The only thing YG is concerned about, is that the public is thinking as if YG has
been sued from the composers and YG is in a deep trouble. Contrary to the public's belief, the warning Sony ATV
sent to YG is nothing but mere document they could send hundreds of copies per day. It contained no opinions of
the composers themselves, it looked like it was quickly made to be broadcasted. Apart from the lawyer of Sony ATV,
there was the president of Sony ATV Korea, Heo Young-Ah. You need to remember that she appeared as a board
member for Korean Music Publishing Association; she concealed her identity as the president of Sony ATV Korea.

Ever since this issue of plarigiarism broke out, YG has never asked for anything from Sony ATV. We did not want to
resolve this issue without the public knowing. If there needs to be any legal actions taken, YG will try its best, and is
not afraid a bit. However, we have heard that Sony ATV has only two to three people working, and we have been
concerned with that. "Are they able to contact the composers directly?" "Are the original composers interested in
this matter at all?" For nearly a month, we have not heard a single word from the composers, and we are doubting
for a bit.

In the warning Sony ATV sent to YG, there are not only G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" and "Butterfly", but also
2NE1's "I Don't Care" and Big Bang's Japanese song, "With U". We were surprised to see new songs being accused,
but we will think it as Sony's new strategies, thinking that accusing G-Dragon alone is not enough. For the cases
of "I Don't Care" and "With U", they are the works of YG's main producers, Teddy and Perry. Teddy has been a
producer for 10 years, and Perry has been for 15 years. There are hundreds of songs they composed and
produced. Among them, there may be cases they might be accused, but for the past 10 years, there has been any
accusations for their works. They remained in YG despite the countless scoutings from others. They have high pride
s of their music, and are hurt deeply from Sony ATV's hush press releases. Their hurt pride is not able to be healed
fast, and YG has been accused full of "composers who plarigiarize" in the public. To be honest, I think because they
are famous and both producers, Sony ATV is using them for their advantage.

Sony ATV has accused that G-Dragon's "Butterfly" has copied OASIS' "She's Electric" for having similar parts.
The musician who appeared on "News magazine 2580" stated that the parts the two songs are similar are 2 bars,
panning approximately 5 seconds. But he also stated that because that is the main sequence melody, it may be a
problem.

Then, I think I get to ask you a question as well.

A few days ago, Mariah Carey's new song, "Standing O" teaser was released on youtube. Comparing this song to
"I don't care", you get 8 bars of similar parts. It is 24 seconds, instead of 5 seconds, also has it as its major motive,
and adding up the similar parts together, results in approximately 1 minute. What is Sony ATV's opinion towards this song? I don't know, but I am sure that you can't easily say that Mariah Carey has plarigiarized 2NE1's song that was
released 3 months ago, although it contains longer and clearer motives from "I Don't care".

I have thought reversely as well. "What if this was G-Dragon's music? What if it was the other way around?"
It is quite scary.

Although embarassing to admit, the music Sony ATV presented for "I Don't Care", none of the composers nor
myself have heard the song, because it isn't the type of music we listen to in the first place. Upon Sony ATV's
standards, if you were to put together pieces of any music together by force, I do not think any music could be
innocent in your standards. If protecting the rights of publishers is Sony ATV's job, you should also take a note that
other publishers' dignity and rights are just as important.

Because Sony ATV released such rash public statements, YG and G-Dragon had to receive more sarcastic remarks
and offensive responses, but we decided not to release our statement towards Sony ATV through the media. It is
because we respected your company, NOT because we did not have anything to say. The first and last proposal
from YG to Sony ATV, is that please deliver us the opinions from the original composers to YG, and stop releasing
unconfirmed statement to the media before anything finalizes. If the 4 songs you warned YG are proved to be
innocent in the near-future, you should be prepared to see YG's reaction.

Where does YG stand in this plarigiarism issue?
- In my opinion, all the arguments and discussions could be seen different depending on the views and the viewers.
So, I cannot explain my personal opinion of whether it was influenced by other songs or not.

However, in the centre of attention, there is "Heartbreaker". This issue emerged above the surface because it had
similar rap-flow as Flo Rida's Right Round. Right Round is an extremely famous song even in Korea, and recently
another Korean artist has sung it with translation, and appeared on the media. It is impossible that the composers
at YG and G-Dragon tried to go around their way to plagiarize. It is impossible, because with the internet and all,
everything gets revealed quickly.

Many expressed their concerns, "Why did G-Dragon do this? For the rappers who write and rap, it shouldn't be hard
to fix a few verses and re-recording", and "How come did Yang Hyun-Seok, Teddy, Perry and Kush never mention
that to G-Dragon?" It isn't because we were trying to fool the public, but the other way around. I did not expect
such a stir among the public, and I think I should be 100 folds more responsible than G-Dragon as the executive
producer. I am truly sorry to G-Dragon and his fans who are burdened alone.



Any more wrongs from the media and misunderstandings?
- YG never released a statement that "Heartbreaker is G-Dragon's solo-composed piece. Would the public like this
piece if this was a plarigiarized piece?". This is absurd and truly psychotic. Due to high interest to Big Bang and
2NE1, there are many unsaid things being reported to the media, and rumours are creating more rumours. Because
i do not socialize as much, there are haters and misunderstandings happening frequently.

Recently, KBS Radio boycotted all the YG music from being played on the air, and because 2NE1's manager declined
an interview request, one newspaper continuously pours out articles containing some crap about YG.
Even yesterday, he wrote that "Yang Hyun-seok is loving his artists in the wrong way". For the past three months,
there are over 30 articles he wrote against YG. I think the saying, 'you never get tired' suits him for sure. I think it
is maybe because he has too much love and interest towards YG.

Mere entertainment companies can't fight against media corporations. It is also hard to lobby them to put on
better articles. I try to think to groom myself first instead of talking badly of others these days.


There are opinions which claim that "the issue has elevated because YG has been covering G-Dragon
as a genius composer". What do you think about this?
- The funny thing is, for the past 9 years G-Dragon has resided in YG, never I nor YG called him as a genius
composer. I am known to be cold and objective from my artists. The fans know that I am not that kind of person
complementing the artists often. In opposite, the fans were upset because I talked about G-Dragon's collaboration
process with others.

There are around 60 songs which G-Dragon took part in compositing and writing lyrics. Usually he wrote the lyrics
by himself, but when composing music, he collaborated with many people. The reason is because he has been
really busy to take time arranging the songs. When G-Dragon was 16 years old, I have used my own personal
money to get him some musical gear, and G-Dragon has made many hiphop tracks, but because Big Bang debuted
and had rigorous schedule, it had been stopped. I heard that there are 10 people holding license for "Right Round".
It is such an ordinary way of composing music with others.

A few months ago, it is important to be able to arrange songs you have composed, but it is also important to make
the melodies and lyrics, and designing the structure of the song as a whole. They are important because they
cannot be only learned. You need that sense of gift for that part.


The term 'genius' does not suit the 22-year-old composer, and nor does he want it. The reason why so many
people have their hopes for him, is not because he is a genius, but because he has his unique style and sense
towards music. Extraordinary 13-year-old boy has become the G-Dragon of today, and people see him in the long
run and in his potential from today.


There are sayings that this issue is part of the marketing for YG.
- First of all, YG is not that clever to come up with a marketing plan like this.
Especially for G-Dragon, he was receiving enough attention as the leader of famous idol group in Korea, and for
releasing his ever-first solo album. He is even cutting off the appearance on the stage...


There are also rumours that you are having troubles with one broadcasting company, because your
artists are not appearing on the stage.
- Whenever I hear about these rumours, I feel bad towards the broadcasting company. I think this was derived
because of YG's marketing scheme of appearing only 1 show per week. YG is only concerned about the best
program for its artists, we do not try to make better connection with the broadcasting companies. We are not
ignoring the broadcasting company, nor does the company boycotting the appearance of YG artists. In the eyes of
broadcasting company, there are way too many artists wanting to appear the show. However, 2NE1 and G-Dragon
has not requested to be on the show... It is only fair that they do not need to cast YG artists from their side.

Again, I apologize for any misunderstandings.

Now, the good news:

On the first weekend of December, there will be G-Dragon's solo concert. It will be held in Olympic Gymnastics
Stadium, and there will be two concerts. A detailed notice will be posted up soon, and the ticketing will be done after the Chinese new year.

That's it for now. I will try to come back only with the happy news next time.

All I can say is WELL SAID...that should shut them up!

By the way...would you guys happen to have a gif of GD being so cute and sexy at the same time as he give us a body wave in this video?

[danick]

A round of applause...standing ovation for PAPA YG!

I think he was able to explain everything about GD's plagiarism issues and other BS about him and other YG artists. Now I know why GD and the rest of BB felt very secure and confident in their career moves. They are very well taken cared of.

I really hope this statement shut down all those negative vibes.

GD needs to focus his attention now to his work and promo of his songs. I hope the Korean VIPs will always be where GD performs because he definitely needs the support especially these days.

GD and YG are on TOP right now so I am not surprised that there people who wants to bring them down.

More blessings to GD!
