Ellin 269 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nowadays, rap seems to be a staple of kpop songs. Anyone else feel like rap parts sometimes are simply there just because there's a rapper in the group? aka Not every song need to have rap in it? If the rappers are legit skilled and it fits the song, I'm all for it, but sometimes I feel like it's just thrown in and often very abrupt. {of course this excludes hip-hop groups} For instance, one of my favorite comebacks so far is BTOB's "It's Okay". As opposed to the typical catchy kpop song, I feel like this is truly music. The vocals are absolutely amazing and I feel there should've been more singing. {not saying Minhyuk/Ilhoon/Penial aren't good rappers! O.o}. ^check it out if you haven't yet!

Park Hyoshin's vocal coach 4,019 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I only like rapping parts in kpop songs if they can actually rap good. Otherwise the members who "rap" should be kicked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monochrome. 480 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I don't really care and know much about rapping but a lot of them feels unnecessary and forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonno 627 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 sometimes it could be used a lil less tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee 9,628 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm alright with it unless the person sounds bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnude 1,928 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sometimes the rap can ruin what could be a perfect song, it just kills the flow of the song. But sometimes if fits in perfectly so I guess I don't really mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissxkiss_baby 5,756 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yes, most Sistar songs are like this. Not every group needs are rapper, especially when they're not great at it. It's why talented idol rappers have such a negative stigma because they are lumped into group with people who aren't that great at their craft.

Kpopiscool_101 3,003 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think it would get pretty boring without a rap especially if the song is a slow song but if is is more upbeat the song can be without the rap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memejae 1,619 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 it can be good, ok or just unnecessary. it depends on how it fits into the song and how the person sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____shawnee 4,118 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Some of them I think help the song/add something to it, for a recent example I'll go with 9Muses's Hurt Locker, I always like Erin's raps. But for other songs, it either doesn't really add to the song (KARA Cupid) or hurts the song (most ballads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy mcflurry 2,385 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I only have a problem with it if the rap is shitty and/or the rapper sucks at rapping, which is a problem in 75% of Kpop groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Wine 1,540 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I don't have any gripes about it. I guess I'm indifferent tbh. There have only been a few times when I thought a song would be better without the rap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STORM 7,555 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I wish Minhyuk and Peniel had singing lines instead of rap parts or all 3 rappers' parts were shorter. The rap seems too long in the 2nd verse of the song and it shows the song down even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think it's unnecessary 99% of the time. There are some songs where it works, but most of the time, they're not really necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
