When she was taking those Soju shots, omg. Then some guy started to yell at her mom and she got up and ate the glass, yes, ate the soju glass, blood from her mouth... she's a total boss. | ||

Not that this is in unexpected, because the line between pop and hiphop is actually thin. Personally I love it, and I just wanted to give hiphop some credit. I was watching The Boys when I was noticing a lot of similarties (the long part at 3:40 "I wanna dance right now", the beat for the whole song, the lyrics, the dancing), though it's a phenoma I've been observing for a long time (i'm not a kpop fantic, but every hyuna PV I've seen qualfiies and also the wondergirls have a dedicated rapper girl). | ||

Talentless girls don't get parts in the songs, so the existence of them there implies talent. The point is that most kpop groups have major hiphop influence, so this is good supporting evidence. Additionally the beautiful rapper girls don't have to be there, but they are. Why? I don't know, but it's pretty much one of the definitive aspects of modern kpop/khiphop, and it's awesome. They're intentionally added in whether you like it or not, so don't disregard them as "backups" out of ignorance. That's disrepectful to kpop, and the groups. And none of this even touches on the major influences in the way they dance, and the way they often sing (R&B style). See above. ^^; On July 02 2012 05:48 andyrau wrote: no, just no. "line between pop and hiphop is actually thin" I get the feeling you don't understand either of these genres. Hiphop has always been electronic music with vocals. Pop has been electronic music with vocals for the last 40 years. The line has always been very thin like it or not. The thing about kpop though is that a lot of popular singles tend to be more on the hiphop side in the past 5 years or so (also in line when it started getting popular globally). This is something that I really enjoy personally. | ||

Korea thinks so, and k-pop stars think so. And also though hiphop can have rap (just as any genre can), it isn't defined as rap. Please don't talk about subjects you aren't educated about. | ||

A disgrace to Kpop, where visuals are as important if not more important than actual musical talent? Are you sure you're in the right genre? You seem to take a joke about rappers in idol groups quite seriously. On July 02 2012 07:11 Pulselol wrote: i wish they would just stop rapping in broken konglish This. | ||
