[Korowa]

O_O the mystery thickens....

bah i was trying to find the performance of BK Love on youtube... but instead found the music video.

But it was the official song for Windstruck? O_O that's a surprise.

If you haven't, be sure to check out Poetic License's "시적자유 Poetic License." It's so good that it blows my mind. Why haven't I heard of his name until now? He's got to be the best lyricist in the rap game.

khip hop in korea is actually pretty big.. the underground scene is crazy in korea...... yea in mainstream not much rappers.... basically people from the movement... then you got buddah baby which is mc snipers group like baechigi, kinetic flow.. den u got yg.... basically "hiphop triphop flipflop hippop watever u guys call it" in the mainstream.... u dont see alot of masterplan people coming out on tv these days.... joosuc, etc..... and for underground hiphop musicians theres soulscape... rhyme-a.... paloalto... quiett... rhymebus... sideb.. umc... onesun... ptype.. ?????.. and alot more i can list... u wont believe how big it is unless u actually go to korea and see how big the underground scene is... hiphop in korea is the big thing right now.... its just alot of korean americans dont knoe... cuz they dont...

If you guys wanna check out some good recent underground hip hop, listen to Monsoon Nui. Reminds me of back when Garion actually maintained that underground sound.

[juhjuh]

What about Jiggy Fellaz?
I've just heard their Exclusive Compilation album and I really like it!

i thought that was an awful album. my favourite track on that is "Who's That" by Dead'P. that annoys me because i hate Dead'P.

[juhjuh]

^ funny thing is, my fave track is "Who's That" too ^^

Wow, the audience is like all asians. :/ I can understand if the event was held in Korea or something, but that thing is in the United States, isn't it? Or is that the whole point?

Haha that's just pretty much how it is..holding an event in K-town is almost like holding it in Korea; it's its own little enclosed autonomous community ^^ For the concerts I've been to (which I heard about online or from friends), I was probably one out of 10 non-Asians in the audience =P

That is sooo not cool. Actually kinda embarrassing as an Asian.

[orienkorean]

actually, i'm glad this is kept within k-town. it would really be embarrasing, otherwise. these fools are weak. and look at their audience.. my god, i'd hang myself before being seen among them.

just listened to some jeetkuneflow on his myspace. that was some of the worst hip hop i've listened to recently

Yeah, that's why all these concerts happen in k-town. It's for the korean community there, not for non-Asians. k-town LA is the biggest korean community in the world outside of Seoul, so no need for outsiders. k-town is not america. Ghetto Musik is an annual Korean music concert for a Korean audience--most of America does not have this, but we do, so don't hate.

MCs, singers, and dancers from Jeet Kune Flow put on Ghetto Musik every year, and hundreds show up, because the talent is excellent, and everyone has a great time. This K-town scene is happening. And this is just one of many concerts held in K-Town every year by Jeet Kune Flow. Every week Jeet Kune Flow holds an open mic & open dance floor in K-Town, for Korean musicians and dancers--and this has been going on for the past 3 years. Jeet Kune Flow is a crew made up of more than 50 Korean artists mostly born or raised in K-Town, and half the crew speaks korean mainly or performs in korean as a first language.

do not judge JKF until you have been to one of these JKF concerts. unlike other parts of the US, JKF is not a bunch of bedroom rappers. everyone in JKF is a performer first. there's real skills and originality here, built up from dozens of performances and weekly mic sessions. and unlike korean events in other parts of the US, JKF keeps it real with korean language, with the hosting in korean and many of the rappers and singers performing in korean. for history of JKF, see http://www.myspace.com/jeetkuneflow

oh man I shouldn't have mentioned Big Bang in the first place, funny replies, funny. I'm keeping tightlipped about YG and its "ethics" shall we say.

Keep those name drops coming, you guys are my source for not so mainstream (perhaps?) khiphop, I use the term objectively.

Quick edit, checked the Epik High thread....wheres the discussion about the music gone?!??!?!?

[HK Tequila]

Has anybody listened to Snipers new album?

Some quality stuff on there.

The song Girls is easily my favorite from the album.

Hey, you listed all of them!

Yeah, i have to agree EPIK is going mainstream,
but they're lyrics are still pretty true to HIP HOP.

YG is so materialistic, but i still kinda love them.
YG is definitely NOT true hiphop no more.. with YG
Hiphop is dead.

(that's my opinion)








[edit2]

How come there are like NO ONE in the BOSTON area?

There are. Plenty.

YG never was true hip hop.... sorry to break it to you.
