No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
Genuine question to all of you huge fanboys of "x" in this thread: Have you ever felt that your excessive fanboyism of your favourite Kpop-star(s) made you think less of the women in your everyday life? As if you've ever felt your fandom become too strong so that your real life felt too inferior to the dream?

Lol... nice poll. "Choose this if you're a rabid fanboy frothing at the mouth, or choose this if you still have some semblance of humanity left". Awesome choices.
I'm sorry old chap, but I believe I may have to halt your statement. For, you see, Ee Se Joon is in fact the best rapper.
Latest CTS was really packed with awesome times, Just wish the PDs would stop cutting out Davichi's noraebang segments like they've been doing and possibly team them up with someone old so they can get a trot carry.
- Also, big thanks to Kimoleon for that bang up trannie job for EXID. It's interesting to hear about Shinsadong's more laissez faire approach towards management and practice regimes, might be able to see if it's really worth having 11+ hour choreo training per day pre-promo cycle that most other managing labels utilize.
I'd love seeing them do a casual concept once. Or maybe not a concept but just do a performance in casual attire once, there's something about it that makes it really good.

Your poll options are kind of weird. Am I too involved in my fandom for my own good? probably yes, but is my real life inferior? no.

He's asking if you still get raging boners for real girls or just for idols. Read between the lines bra

Khiphop isn't a completely the completely new/innovative genre that tuelite postulates. if anything, it's more a reiteration of alt hiphop than something new. That said, while I do like khiphop more than its american counterpart, I don't understand any of the lyrics without translation, so my enjoyment is more based on the artists' techniques and not the messages they attempt to convey.
Out of all the people he listed I think I would only really put Tiger JK as someone that was consistently different and good, although I think he's fallen off a lot lately. MC Sniper has his moments too but he sounds way too fake sometimes. Outsider's first album was really great but everything after that has been just pure pop shit.
edit: and wtf, I just don't understand the idea of listening to hip hop that's in a language that you don't understand. Lyrics are the main point when it comes to the genre and it's what makes and breaks it.
I disagree, rhythm and intonation are just as important than lyrics if not more so. In fact, there is really no genre of music where lyrics are very important to me. I listen to everything from indie rock, kpop, oldies, jazz, death metal, electronica, drum and bass, hip hop, whathaveyou, and I lyrics are never the most important part.
you're comparing apples with oranges. rap is a genre completely based on lyrics, otherwise, it's just a person yelling rubbish over a beat.

I said a hip, hop, the hippie to the hippie to the hip, hip, hoppa, you don't stopa rockin to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

Rapper's delight was a pop song mimicing hiphop which was responsible for it breaking into the mainstream.
Quote from wikipedia:
There's this idea that hip-hop has to have street credibility, yet the first big hip-hop song was an inauthentic fabrication. It's not like the guys involved were the 'real' hip-hop icons of the era, like Grandmaster Flash or Lovebug Starski. So it's a pretty impressive fabrication, lightning in a bottle.
And that's the point I was originally making that ended with tuelite getting his panties in a bunch. K hiphop is a fabrication, an unintentional charade. At some point it stopped being about a message and became bragging about being tough, rich or famous, just "Hey, I'm a rapper". Whatever, it lost the spark many years ago, and from my admittedly limited exposure to K hiphop, it is no exception, aside from the vocal acrobatics.
Good point, well made. Wikipedia 1:0 Music teacher
I still listen to Western Hip Hop anyway but it's just as much of a fabrication You can't pretend this kind of garbage is any more meaningful than your generic modern Dok2/Verbal Jint song
KHip hop is no more a joke than Western hip hop but to denounce the entire genre is a bit asinine. Just with every field or art, there's high art, and there's low art; high culture and low culture. Some of it may pretend to be deep and meaningful and I can convince myself that it is
But it's no more of a joke than what we have now.
So yeah, lyrics have become a joke too so I listen to a lot of it for the beat, the flow, the rhythm etc. It's not that different. But a lot of music is just garbage lyrics over beats
