To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
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.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

I personally hope for something à la Sistar's Alone.
August 22nd ain't that far, not that much more waiting to do.
Update: "Pandora" will be a synth-pop dance track.
yeah it's gonna sound like jpop.
And composer don't mean shit. I don't know Sweetune but plenty of other kpop songwriters have a lot of variation in their sound.
He's made Mister, Step, A, Mach, Lupin and Jumping. Enough for me. It can only turn out bad if it's made entirely with vuvuzelas.
I dunno man, vuvuzela could be the new saxophone in kpop
Vuvuzela K-Pop. That would definitely be underground.
Whoever does it first needs to find T-ara's afro back dancer from Roly Poly promotions and give him a vuvuzela, make him blow it in the background star wars cantina style in the background, kinda like what Breibu Gurls did for that one "reggae" promotion.

His real name is Kim Seung-Soo. Makes it easier to find him on Google. I can't find a single list with his songs, but if you Google "Kim Seung-Soo" and the individual song, it'll show up.

Well that doesn't help at all. If I'm trying to find the songs he's done how the hell should I know which song to type in
Sweetune is composed of two people: Kim Seungsoo and Han Jaeho. If you google both names you should get some hits KARA, Infinite, Rainbow, Boyfriend, Nine Muses, Spica are the only ones I remember using them (and some jpop people after KARA made it big in Japan).
Boa of Spica worked under Sweetunes for the longest time.

Still one of the best hiphop acts in the world, up there with nujabes at the top.
stop labeling khiphop anywhere on par with regular hiphop and nujabes is not a 'hip-hop act', he was known for his beats that heavily drew upon jazz/acid jazz roots & samples.

welp brb time to dig this out.
ah found it. Hipster is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else's authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself. It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker. Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you're probably sensed the pattern on your own). Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the au-thentic Us from the inauthentic, ironic, Them. You can't define what that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That's because you don't use hipster to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you. The twist, of course, is that if it weren't for your own insecurities, nothing that a hipster could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - "Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I'm certainly not like those filthy hipsters!"- so you project those feelings onto others.

Im not sure what you mean, why shouldnt i compare it to "regular" hiphop. I listen to hiphop in various different language and i do think lleessang is top tier, problem?
And nujabes produced a shitton of hiphop songs, sure he did alot of downtempo and triphop stuff thats amazing aswell but hes produced alot of great songs for underground american and japanese rappers.

So you're saying "I listen to hiphop beats from around the world." That's completely different from saying "I listen to hiphop in many different languages."
unless, of course, I'm completely underestimating your linguistic capabilities. nujabes as one of the world's best producers? ehh sure. labeling him as a 'hiphop act'? not so much.
nitpicking at semantics, really. but there's always that chance you meant what you wrote.
Supporting Tuna on this one. And I do consider myself a pretty knowledgeable "Hip-Hop head".
Edit: I understand Andy's argument as well though and it makes sense as well.
I still have some Korean hip-hop artists in my overall top 25, possibly top 10. I for one have no problem mentioning Tablo in the same sentence as Nas for example. Obviously they bring a very different perspective and aspects to the game but to me they're pretty much on par with one another.

Gangnam Style Facts: 1. The old people playing board games behind PSY was Seungri and Daesung 2. The guy in the yellow suit is Running Man's Yoo Jae Suk 3. The girl behind PSY at the merry-go-round was SNSD's Tiffany 4. PSY's female companion in this video is 4Minute's HyunA
I think 1, 2, and 4, are true, but I remember asking about 3 (still not sure)...and was that really Tiffany? I didn't think it looked like her for some reason though...

If its the "acts" part you are being all bothered about that was targeted at llessang not nujabes. Also im not sure i understand you correctly, do you disagree with me that nujabes produced hiphop music, among many other genres? I am really tired and im sure im terrible as usual at getting my point across but whatevs. Nujabes #1 japon.
