you dont have any problem with ravi's unclear eng diction ? I give him a slack because he's not A native speaker but well damn, wth did he said in his superhero intro though ? People tend to
Dislike the way he raps, because there's something annoying bout his rap. lol. probably his flow is something not too pleasant to ears or not familiar amongst idols rappers. yes, for his delivery, his delivery definitely matches vixx's concept, whether it's
It's dark, bright, etc.
Sometimes I dont get what he says too xD,I dont even get his "should I go should i stay nobody knows" part in voodoo doll until my sister sang it kkk

First off, no worries I'm glad I could be of service!

Now then, I'm gonna start with Ravi.
I've heard his stuff before and he really is underrated as a rapper, because quite frankly I think he is the best, or at least one of the best, male rappers in K-Pop.
I've never seen someone so consistent with their rapping technique in all of their songs (outside of people like Zico, T.O.P, etc...) and the best part of it all is that he is the most complete package as a rapper I've seen so far in K-Pop.
His flow is amazing and he has complete control over it, it never seems hurried nor breathy or even choppy at the slightest, it just seamlessly goes from one part to the next. Most people in K-Pop that can do something like this or have good flow are usually flat on their delivery, right?
Not Ravi.
His delivery is just as dynamic as some of the best. The emphasis is perfectly placed on each syllable and the emotion is heard constantly throughout his flow (which is something even well respected rappers had trouble doing... Guys like Biggie Smalls and Royce Da 5'9 have the nicest flow in the world but they couldn't emote properly through their flow when they went fast, whereas Tupac always emoted through his flow but it was never fast or fluent enough to compete).
The only rapper (right now) that comes to mind that does exactly what Ravi does is Eminem through songs like "Rap God" and "Mockingbird".
If I had even one small issue, it would be his vocal tone. Perfect pitching of his voice (not too high or too low, just right) and his vocal texture puts the right amount of weight to his words... So what's the issue?
He sounds like he has a blocked nose... That is literally the only thing holding this guy back from being the best male rapper in K-Pop today (a title which is hotly contested by Zico, T.O.P, Rap Monster and G-Dragon).
I still think he should be considered among them, because that is obviously his signature and what sets him apart from other rappers (so I don't think he'll change it anytime soon) but honestly it's holding him back and making him hard to listen too at times.
But honestly, he is top-tier worthy and is so underrated because he isn't. Sad really :(
Next up? Baro.
I've never listened to B1A4 before so this should be interesting.
Now Baro is really similar to Ravi, but he is nowhere near as good.
The main thing to remember in rap is that it is mostly natural expression, delivery and feeling. Everything is mostly intuitive but the practice is how you develop your technique.
Baro's flow cannot be faulted at all, he has beautiful flow and connect words brilliantly. But in comparison to Ravi, his delivery is quite poor.
His words are more slurred and the emphasis isn't placed properly on the words, the emotion is missing more too.
His vocal tone is even muddier than Ravi's too, but the pitch of his voice and vocal texture are slightly better.
Baro's good but I wouldn't rank him as high as Ravi, perhaps a mid-tier rapper alongside people like Chansung or U-Know Yunho.
And finally, since I've followed Ailee during her Youtube days, I know about more instances of her rap than this one...
She rapped on a song with 2BiC, she did "Catch Me If You Can" with Decipher and she did a cover of Crayon.
But based on this clip she has improved immensely! :O
Her flow is prestige, it is fluent from point A to point B and seems to be inspired a bit by Biggie Smalls, which I find a bit different but really cool!
Her delivery is nice, she's emphasized the right points, but it falls a bit flat because it isn't emoted properly and the enunciation of most of her words are still sloppy.
Her vocal tone is perfect (but of course when is it not...) and is actually the ideal for most female rappers to have. Honestly with a bit more work she could be as good of a rapper as she is a singer...
p.s. Not meaning to start a fanwar or something but, Hyorin's singing and rapping both pale in comparison to Ailee's...
Wow :0 thankyouu~ I thought Baro was at least slightly better than ravi._.
I'll be sure to come back qith more rappers
