Korean Rap Continued

I know a lot of friends who listen to rap music. I mean, Atlanta is the "A-town" where there is a lot of hardcore rappers. Unfortunately, there aren't many people who know about the Korean rappers. K-pop and Idols are the dominate music producers in Korea, but Korea's hip-hop and rap musics are pretty amazing as well. In this blog post I wanted to focus on few of the bad-a rappers in Korea.

Sorry my bad taste for music and I'm only focusing on music instead of other interesting topics. Well, I am having a tough time keeping up with my academics so, I can't invest as much time on the blog as I used to.



1. Drunken Tiger. He probably is the starter of the Korean rap industry. When nobody knew about rap in Korea, he came with his rap music. Not a lot of people appreciated him at first. Actually, a lot of people thought his music was a joke, but now his music is a must listen to.




2. Baechigi. They really know how to rap in my opinion. I mean their rap is just so exciting and powerful. They make you want to start nodding your head =D



3. Outsider. Remember the time I showed you guys about the fastest female rapper. Well, Outsider is the fastest Korean male rapper. But, the important thing is that his rap is not only fast but his fastness doesn't destroy the lyrics. Usually fast rappers tend to destroy the lyrics when the focus on the fastness.


4. Epik High. Probably the deepest rapper. Tablo the main rapper speaks fluent english since he was from the USA. His lyrics are really deep and meaningful.



5. MC Mong. Probably the funniest rapper. Well, he is currently having trouble because he tried to avoid military service. Its quite sad since I liked him a lot and when I listen to my mp3 player his songs come up, making me think of how his life just crumbled down just because he didn't go to the military.




I'll stop here =D I am too tired...

Korean Emo Band

Sugar Donut is a Korean band I like to listen to, especially Sugar Donut's "Loser". The lyrics are simple but expresses how I feel ... ~_~ yes, I am partially emo but, I have my reasons. Anyways, the lyrics goes something like this. (since I do not have time, I'll summarize). So, Sugar Donut would always regret and his regrets would not end. He believed that by working hard, harder and hardest, his life would become somewhat like what he had imagined as, in additionally, he wouldn't have to go through the pain of working again. This message is just repeated over and over again.

The lyrics are simple and dumb. But, sometimes they do tell the truth of our current society. This band is not well known since punk/emo rock is not yet popular in Korea!


Wished there were more punk/emo bands in Korea =S

Nervous break down

Its interesting how life turns out to be really different from what you imagined. My dream started off with becoming a fire fighter, moved on to becoming a scientist, changed to becoming hotel manager, and finally broaden down into becoming a businessman. However, its not just your dream that constantly changes. Fate, the biggest influential shareholder of my future, comes in. My shareholder, Mr.Fate is just too hard to control. Its like he controls 50% of my future share while I only have 30 %.

So, why am I having a nervous break down? Cause, I'm having doubts whether or not I have chosen the right path for a brighter and better future.

I am suffering a lot in school. All I do is study. Its not like I study for an hour and play games for another. I literary sit in my chair all day, lie in my bed reading, or going to the bathroom. Well, there are those times when I would surf the net, reading Korean news articles or checking out the exchange rate. The main problem is that I am not a "bright kid". I understand things slower than others! I learned to read slower than others, didn't have an idea what grades were until I was in high school, even when I learn new languages, they seem easier after the semester is over.

I am not sure if I am in the right school. The competition's too high and I think I'm a bit slow to catch up. Like, I would take hours just understanding few concepts, while my friends wouldn't even study for the test.. Programming as well, is really complicated. I need to try really hard.

Transfer schools maybe???

Depends on how this semester goes... But, this past 3 weeks killed my soul

e.via Female Rapper

This week of my life was just insane. I ended up coding for my homework until 2 am. It wasn't that I started late but I wanted my code to do more functions. Then, as it got more complicated, the code lost its original purpose. So, I had to find all the bugs and re-write part of my codes from scratch.!

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know about a Korean female rapper. I'm 90% sure that I am not a big fan of rap music. I'm more into those hated emo bands. Well, I'm not extremely emo but I do like their music. They do lead my life in to a black hole, but I can't stop listening to them! However,this blog is not about rock music! Its about this girl who calls herself E.via aka Happy Evil. She looks cute, and harmless, but her rap style is tough. She could be one of the fastest Korean female rappers. I think her songs are great! but, since Koreans are focused on the K-pop, her talents fails to glow.




Personally, I'd say that she is somewhat like my ideal girl! =D Well I did say somewhat!
