Paloalto revealed in his interview for Cheers that Evo left Hilite Records at the end of the Summer tour. They didn't have a bad relationship, but it was mainly due to (musical) differences / different directions and some personal reasons

Not really surprised they had different opinions on music tbh

 

Evo was releasing music like:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjYNYma1i88

 

While Paloalto and the rest were releasing music like:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CucPDDkOq28

 

still unfortunate tho, wondering if he will stay independent or join labels like Ameoba or 1llionaire/AOMG (hopefully not  :imstupid: )

 

& really enjoyed to Crucial Star's album. He's starting to become one of my favs now  :smile:

[ImJustASlyFox]

don't jinx it :unimpressed:

 

but now that you mention it, zino is gonna enlist in the army soon wonder if 1lli will recruit someone

Beenzino be working on his new LP, I hope he drops it before he enlists

 

 

http://youtu.be/3s1jaFDrp5M

 

its alright, better than expected, I kept it extra low lol

Tukutz beats niceee, Zino mentioning Esens :ahmagah:  I like him and Tablo's verses the most

BI's high-pitched voice though is kinda annoying and his rap part is meh

The song should've opened with the rookies instead of closing with them, kinda weakens the impact of the song

BI should've just done the hook and left the rapping to the rest

didnt expect mino to keep up as well as he did

 

my highlights were mithra and bobby

[ImJustASlyFox]

Born Hater is a jam! and this sounds so good. it's hilarious to see people who listen to 1 or 2 epik high songs claim to be their biggest fan and then shit on them when it's clear they don't know a thing about them (some of the people in that mv thread), talking about Epik High went to shit now. Lyrically, Epik High is still untouchable to me and i don't get how people expect them to have the same style forever when Tablo gave a lot of reasons as to why the style is brighter now. Anyways, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP HOLY GNSROGIOSRTJ'OSR'SRO

Do we know when he's enlisting? I'm hoping for new Jazzyfact now that Shimmy is out of the army.

Oh, totally. People know Love Love Love, One, Umbrella etc and think that's all there is to Epik High. Epik High is not new to these kind of tracks, they're just hidden in their albums. Or just listen to Wannabe.

 

But tbh I kinda wish it was just EH + Zino + Verbal Jint. None of the YG newbies lived up to them imo. This was my first time hearing Mino rap and I'm not impressed at all, plus his expressions were so contrived. No matter what YG says I def think he pushed them to be on the track.

These songs from RedInGrey are so good

I like Beenzino right, but not sure when he says "fuck".  :unsure:  Can't explain it but it doesn't flow as well when compared to (for example) Tablo or The Quiett when they say it.  Anyone feeling me, lol?

Meh, I'm a fan of Epik High's earlier work and have most of their previous albums, and I understand why they went more upbeat, but that doesn't mean I can't be critical of their recent output. I'm a fan of artists that have changed up their sound some, yet I still believed they were as good as ever (i.e. Fana, Kendrick Lamar's recent track). Although I'm sure there are people who had never listened to an Epik High album before criticizing them, I don't think that all of the criticism is coming from sources that are largely ignorant of their previous work. I also think it's possible to be a fan of an artist and not really like part of their body of work, whether it's earlier or later in their careers.

 

I don't think YG forced Epik High to have those idol features, rather they've always liked mainstream appeal (see Love Love Love), which is not really to bash them or anything, since I don't think it's wrong to want that recognition. Plenty of artists do pursue that and still make great music. I believe that Tablo was specifically aiming for Born Hater to be a track full of mainstream rappers confronting claims about why they're popular, and chose those rappers/idols for that reason. (tbh part of their popularity - mainly talking about Verbal Jint & Beenzino here - does come from their looks and educational background, though I think they have both have put out good music before, some of which obviously has popular appeal - Aquaman is catchy af.) Actually to go off on a bit of a tangent, Beenzino = Drake to me. Not necessarily the most skilled MCs, but their niche is good jams, and they do that well. Does anyone else agree with this comparison? Obviously they have their differences, but just their personas and general place they occupy in their respective industries are reminiscent of each other imo. To get back to my original point, even if YG asked them to feature the idols on the track, ultimately I don't think Epik High was particularly against it and might have even welcomed it.

Shoebox was fine. I liked Lesson 5, Burj Khalifa, & 헤픈엔딩. Album flows pretty well.

 

Redingray was pretty dope, especially Snapper Ending, also really liked Seoul Blues Pt. 3, Oh My God, Shame, and Festival Virgin.

[GPA]

Redingray was pretty good but way too long for me. 

 

The album would have been better if that was this mini album imo  :

 

Rhythm is Life

Silver Sonata

Snapper Ending

Hueng Hai

Rose

Shame (< my fave)

[Chrome]

in love with amor fati, burj khalifa and lesson 5

digging all the other tracks as well

 

the album has influences from all over epik high's past records, love the array of sounds
