I will be a better poster

after I graduate

I’ve disappointed myself so many times this week it has made me physically ill with shame.

About korean rappers and their elitism…

marion-phauna:

Normally I ignore comments like these, but I just read one that was too much and I’ve seen many similar lately, so I’ll take the time to write some things:

• Most of us are looking forward to the return of Tablo, but only the people who know him for Super Junior, his (horrible) performance with BIGBANG or those living in the lie that Epik High created Infinite and they are something like their mentors, are happy that he does from the hand of YG.
  I have not read any comments from anyone familiar with the korean hip hop scene and is happy because Tablo signed with that company. Personally, so far I am happy to see names of some of his former collaborators (DJ Tukutz, Yankie, Planet Shiver, Bumkey), but also I have seen with displeasure that, indeed, YG did not hesitate to print his personal stamp on the album (collaboration with Tae Yang) Anyway, I’ll wait until listen all the songs..

• Simon Dominic is very popular now and long ago stopped being an underground rapper, but he is not an idol, even if sometimes it seems like he wants to be one.

• And finally, I have also read many comments from fans who are “offended” because they say that underground rappers are “elitist” with idols. To those fans I say that I feel more offended when they compare real rappers (as Simon Dominic, Beenzino, Tablo, etc., etc., etc.) with idols, who are not really rappers. It is not if one is worse or better, but just as they always argue that their idols are working hard, these rappers are also preparing hard to do what they do (not just rapping, but also writing, producing and composing music), and their work deserves to be respected.
