This is so comforting ..

He lost his mother due to suicide, and even though nothing bad has ever happened to my parents I feel so connected to this guy

There's so much sincerity in his lyrics, and the song's atmosphere feels so reassuring, telling everyone who has had something like happen to them that its okay

right? I like him a lot... it's a pity he got eliminated 

he had the balls to call out Meta crew in his performances after they dumped him

he has my respect

Are you watching them subbed? If so, where?

Ive just been watching the performances

 

nah, I'm watching the whole thing without the subs

there's no need for subs tho... it's really easy to understand even if you don't know korean

but I so want subs for that

have you seen it?

I'm on a mission to find an enjoyable K-rapper. My requirements are very simple.

1. An actual flow. Almost every K-rapper raps the same way. Even idols. That forced pronunciation thing is just not my thing.

2. Decent lyrics - I may not speak Korean but it's very easy to tell a nonsensical song. I don't care if you get the whores and have fancy cars. I also don't care which fake gang you're from or why no one messes with you.

3. A pleasant tone. 

 

So far only Gary from Leessang seems to fulfill these requirements.

 

PS. Maybe I don't listen to enough k-hip hop but I've never heard a K hip hop song tackle any issues.

If its lyrics your after, take a listen to Epik High (specifically Remapping the Human Soul, Map the Soul and part 1 of [e])

 

You also cant go wrong with the legend themselves, Garion

-these guys make it clear that they are Korean rappers, they have yet to write a word of english into their lyrics and they keep their beats really authentic

 

Gary's got a pretty unique flow and style, but sadly Lessang hasnt done anything really noteworthy in a while

I should have mentioned, I dislike Tablo and I only tolerate Epik High because of Mithra. I liked some of their old stuff but Mithra doesn't rap enough.

Paloalto comes to mind. his flow is pretty consistent, and he can handle a variety of beats

 

I'm sure you've given EH's disco a listen at least once, but like Chrome suggested Garion are a must. or take a look at soul company's past records

 

i would personally recommend checking out Paloalto & Evo's behind the scenes and Goblin Laboratory's Unexpected/Expected Explosion (2 LPs) which i've heard from korean speakers do have meaningful lyrics. 

anything by fana is good too (who just came out with FANAttidude recently)~

That's fine ~

 

I should add B-Free as well

Very old school, raw flow

His sound is very chill, laidback

He's relativey new though he's only released one record so far but it's brilliant

Its called hope

i don't much care for b-free tbh, something about his tone is just

tho he effortlessly goes from english to korean, it all just sounds messy af

esp. his verses in hilife kinda contradict bullet #2 i think lol

Can you guys link the best of the best! I mean I am going through the youtube links. I am liking this Garion track the best out of the rest...

 

B-Free is okay but I am not interested in hippie lyrics either. Something's off about him... it's not exactly appealing.

 

I confess I am very easy to please. I demand perfection.
