What did he just say?

It’s actually hard for a lot of people to realize that Hip Hop isn’t just an American thing anymore. Although we are the founders and pretty much the embodiment of it here, Hip Hop is a culture that has spread beyond the boundaries of the States. Canada, Russia, Africa, England…all of these places have taken a piece of that culture and made it a bit their own.

Zico from recently debuted idol group Block B, isn’t what we considered a bubblegum artist like some of his other Korean counterparts. He’s a little bit grungier and has a street appeal that a lot of the other idols in his line of work don’t possess (Minus the glitter and guyliner that he wears from time to time…(._.).



So that leads me to a freestyle that I happened upon on my ownst (yeah I made that word up) Tumblr wall.



Lyrics:
(Rough Translation)
I’m only 19 and still full of energy

I wear my headphones and don’t stop my gesture

They react and say “What the?”, when this kid starts rapping with a tongue twister

Now I’m going with any beat boom pow

Now you tell me you can’t handle this rap game

These pedestrians are lurking in the back

These slackers see blood from a killer

An arrow with poisoned criticism shot but missed

One bill mentioned above another

Little kids are stimulating into porn

They challenge themselves to penetrate some girls

Going steady but instead a blowjob for me

What’s this… A K-Hip Hop military ready to bite you

Typing up the skills along with the context, but I’m already like Lee Oi Soo

uh…? I don’t have time to waste like the others

I allow myself to breathe when I’m free

Not Lupe Fiasco on the mic, but it sounds awesome, and like I said, compared to his other rap cohorts, this is X Rated.

Making LOOOOOVE FAAACES!!!

You ever wondered what other races have sex to? I’m African American so off top, I already have a wide selection of songs. I mean, hell they should really rename R&B “So, we having sex tonight, right?”. 95 percent of that genre of music about is taking ’em off, making love faces, making love in somebody’s club and then there is Ne-Yo’s “Say It”…ahem.

But I often wonder, what do white people have sex too? Hispanic? Indian? Asian? Korean…..

Well, you know me. You ALREADY know what’s coming next….

Yeah….I know what Korean people are having sex to.


Wait. That’s an EXTREME generalization. I actually don’t know what Koreans are having sex too. I apologize. So I’ll rephrase. If I were Korean, this would be on my “Headboard Bangerz” mixtape.



RIIIIGHT!! So when I say I was ALL in this song, for days pressing repeat, looking crazy like…this isn’t happening. Max (Changmin) and U-Know (Yunho) of DBSK-fame got me on this one. Although the song is about a break-up, you wouldn’t know until you looked up the lyrics. It’s a very sensual sounding song, and then Changmin hit so many “Yeah’s” and “Whoa-Whoas” that you couldn’t tell me this wouldn’t bang in America…(if they were speaking English.)

Hell, even if I WASN’T Korean….I’d have sex to this.

There’s a whole 16 minute mini movie to go with the song. Has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the song, so if you wanna see about three-four gun fights, some tae kwon do (I think) and 16 minutes of badassary, angst, and some matrix type shit…well. Here you go.

Noonas gonna show you how to do this…Oppa.

Wait wait wait! Come back! Did I throw you off? I don’t care. Don’t go anywhere unless I tell you too 🙂

You guys remember me? Good! Well after my last post here at ToySldrs, I was hit up a few times about my obession with K-Pop. Like I told you Kanye digs it, Darkchild digs it, Will.I.Am is on it. So that means, we’re cool and I want you to be cool too. Hallyu (Korean Wave is real).

SO, like I said I got hit with the “Why do you love it so much”, “Well then put me on, let me see what the hype is.” And I can help you with that.

Technically, it’s just music. There isn’t an orginal thought in the world as of today, so what we are dealing with is…MUSIC. It’s just in another language. Once you get past that obstacle (I didn’t, I just learned the language), you’ll find that…it’s just music. Only difference being is that they take these kids, TRAIN THEM (to dance better, to sing better, to act better, to DJ better, to rap better) over the course of 5+ years before they even see the LIGHT of a stage…unlike some of our American artist….

Soul-jer

So. What I’m going to do is put you onto game. I won’t hit you with any super poppy shit because ya’ll ain’t ready. So I’ll hit you with one song that actually blew my mind, for I did not know of this…

Excuse me for a moment. -hangs out the window- SANG YESUNG SANG!!!!!

Ahem. Sorry about that. Yeah, and they were saying “Shawty”.

And then if you want….(because this is my shit)

Wait…SANG JJONG SANG!! YOU BETTER HOLD THAT NOTE!!

Well hell….even this…

You better harmonize all over this track, Park Bom! DO IT GIRL!

This is pretty basic, but awesome music to me. I could go deeper, but like I said, ya’ll ain’t ready. All I know is if Hallyu hits America, get the hell out my way, I got concert tickets to buy.

Thank you, God Bless, Good Night, I came…..
