High School Rapper (고등래퍼) Thread

Hamin's my fav (Chinchilla is a close 2nd) but I personally see the final being Wonwoo versus Young B....

 

Anyways, spoilers  as to who made it to the finals have been out on DC. I think the final stage was two days ago with the results being kept a secret as that will be revealed live.

So does that mean the final is blue vs red? do you have a link to the spoiler

 

It's all over the DC hiphop gallery. There's no specific link to a thread because there's so many posts. I would translate if I had the time, but unfortunately I don't. http://gall.dcinside.com/board/lists/?id=hiphop

 

 

I'm also going to give my 2 cents without revealing the spoiler...but by reading all the posts (in Korean) on Instagram and DC Gallery, it seems like a lot of the students that went to participate in audience voting were NCT fans. I think NCT is cute too, but ya'll have to realize that their votes will swing one way....

Some of the top comments on Naver following today's episode (translated by me):

 

  • Swings hogged the spotlight. He picked a style that was his strong suit and wasn't considerate of Hamin's style. 
  • Hamin would've done better if he was on Giriboy's team and had his beats.
  • They don't match at all (referring to Choi Hamin and Swings)
  • Kim Kyuheon shined the most today
  • Kim Kyuheon is sadly edited out of the show so much but he showed today that he is king
  • Young B rode the beat so well
  • For some reason I missed Oh Dam Ryul after today's episode. I wished he was on instead of MC Gree
  • Jessi hard-carried that performance. MC Gree should be thankful
  • Sunjae and MadClown showed what a good collaboration is (Swings take note)
  • I like it when Sunjae goes "ay" (LOL)
  • The best thing to happen to Giriboy's career was "High School Rapper"
  • The day Young B met Giriboy's beat = the best day 
  • Right now, Giriboy's beats are the the freshest in Korean hip-hop
  • Young B is Young B, but seriously that beat by Giriboy is something else. 

 

To sum it up, a lot of anger towards Swings, a lot of praise towards Kim Kyu Hun/Giriboy/Young B and some random top comments of people missing Oh Dam Ryul

Maybe popularity is the cause, but I wonder why the duo wasn't Jessi x Kyuhyeon instead, he was their region's first rank.

 

 

 

 

That's been the talk on the hiphop DC gall after the episode aired. There were threads about how MC Gree was only chosen for his name power (to help with digital sales) instead of their #1 Kim Kyuheon. My husband thought Kim Kyuheon still performed the best in this episode and just like the netizens' top comments, he kept saying that he wished Chinchilla was on instead of MC Gree lol. I already know the spoilers but putting that aside, some of the most viewed threads on there are theories/proof about how mnet has been pushing for MC Gree and Mark to get to the finals.

 

P.S. If you click on the link, you can find the picture of who wins the whole thing. Someone took a photo for proof. I can't link it to here but it'll probably get deleted soon.

2 things:

1. What kind of bait. There's not even spoiler of Hamin's perf

2. BYUNGHO CRYING AT THE END. OMGGGGG WTF I DON'T BELIEVE IT MNETTTT. But really such a proud kid like him, if it's not that then why did he cry. I'm not ready to see Bully fall yet, not at all 5896e632da07c_22-OHZMIin.gif

 

Without revealing spoilers, just based on that preview clip, I think Choi Seohyun >>> Byungho. But then again, in the clip before this, I thought it was Sunjae's weakest performance so who knows what will happen unsure.png

 

And regarding Choi Hamin and Mnet never revealing any clips of his performances in previews...it's exactly how Seo Chulgu said in the last episode, he's "mysterious" and it's a concept that mnet is pushing.

I thought the best part of the episode was the commentary between the contestants when they were choosing their partners for the 1:1 battle. It was cute how they were afraid of being up against certain contestants and were afraid to make it known. Still shows that they are teenagers unlike the SMTM contestants. 

 

I personally thought Jo Wonwoo did the best out of everyone today, but of course the spotlight isn't going to be on him at the end of the episode. His lyrics were ridiculously, crazy good (I might translate later if I have time). Definitely in a different league and I immediately thought, damn he could've gone really far if he was on SMTM. As for Hamin vs Hongwon, I thought Hongwon did better today but just like the judges stated over and over it was technicality vs artistry...it's hard to pick. 

 

Also, the top comment on the MC Gree vs Dong Min video and on this MC Gree related article...pretty harsh stuff but true. It was about how the judges dote on MC Gree too much. I have to agree after watching today's episode. Jessi is his mentor but why the hell was Swings also giving him advice on how to win right in front of his rival? I felt bad for Dongmin...and of course there are the comments about how people miss Oh Damn Ryul rlytearpls.png

Mnet also "forgot" to add Hongwon's goodbye speech like they did for all the other contestants that lost in the battle

On a side note, I've been listening to the contestants' music on Soundcloud lately and have to say that besides Osshun Gum and NO:EL, the two boys above (Gyuheon and Chin Chilla) have pretty good songs

So I was reading some articles on Naver and it looks like they are revealing who the special guests are:

 

Mark - Seulgi

Lee Dongmin - G2 and Don Mills

Jo Wonwoo - Nucksal and Samuel Seo

Kim Sunjae - Hyorin and Mad Clown

Kim Gyuheon - Jessi and Babylon

Choi Hamin -  his fellow contestants (aww)

so my husband finally caught up and watched the videos on Navercast where the audience picked the 3 previously eliminated contestants and he was shocked that Byungho scored higher than Choi Seohyun even though he flubbed his lyrics. More than that, he was upset (and so was I) that Bang Jaemin got the 3rd spot. When looking at the top comments, people are questioning why Jaemin made it and that it should've been Hamin, Sunjae, and Seohyun. We agree too. Is there something we're missing? Maybe because we're older aged fans? Also, for SMTM the audience was split 50/50 male to female but the audience looked predominantly all girls for this one lol.

so relatable-

actually in ep 2 the first time Hamin made an appearance with his style of rap I be like- um... is this rap? or is he singing? He's more like singing than rapping that time- but GRBoy said he's good and gave him highest score- so I thought- oh he must be great, and since I dun understand abt rap or sth like that

Then because that rapping-like-singing he got attention from Chanyeol and oh ppl like him he must be great- that thought spinning in my mind- but if I compare him with YoungB why I feel like they shouldn't have to get compared- I prefer Wonwoo over Hamin too, Wonwoo is awesome agshjakjaka and YoungB, he has an accent that makes his rap catchy so I like him more-

Well it's not like I said that Hamin isn't good, but he just too pushed by MNET agjajka like MC Gree agshjak

You're assuming that he's popular bc of his "singing-rap" style but I can tell you that's not why. He initially became popular after his 1st round audition with "Ocean Waves" bc of the lyrics. Not sure if Korean is your first language but my husband and I are Korean and we were surprised by how beautiful the lyrics were, especially coming from a teenaged boy. He trended on Naver for a couple of days and then trended again after his next performance where he won 1st out of the 1st placed rappers. I think you're incorrect about Mnet pushing Hamin. Are you talking about winning? Bc the winner has already been determined as there are plenty of spoilers. Mnet is just editing what the have left and giving him more screen time bc he's been trending every week. My husband thinks Young B is the better rapper of the two but hip-hop is much bigger than just that and it's all subjective. He thinks Hamin will be more successful after this show bc he's not one-dimensional and has the ability to create good music.

I haven't seen the episode yet...still waiting for hubby to come home so we can watch it together! Super happy with the top 4 though! They deserve it! smile.png

 

I've been reading Naver news all day at work and Choi Hamin is trending right now at #3, Yang Hongwon is trending at #12 and High School Rapper is trending at #13. Meanwhile, on Melon, High School Rapper is trending #1, Choi Hamin is #2, and Yang Hongwon is #3. Yay~

 

Some of the top comments on Naver news articles are pretty pathetic. It's also the same under the Navercast comments for the video performances. They keep mentioning that Hongwon should apologize to his victims...another one bashes on School Rapper saying it's a junk show for letting a "gangster" like Hongwon win...another one is about the double standard of how Jang Yongjun had to quit but they let a bully like Hongwon stay.

 

Sorry am I missing something? unsure.png Since when was he a thug and why the heck are netizens bringing this up? This show isn't about finding the next good samaritan rapper lol.

 

Never mind. Just saw the episode and now I see why all the comments about Hongwon's past are coming to surface. Netizens are not taking his dad's response very well.

Okay I cried when Kim Gyuheon spoke about why he wore the black suit for his first audition....shame on you mnet for not airing his first audition where he ranked FIRST. 

 

I thought Jo Wonwoo had the best rap performance of the night. It's a pity he had to go after Choi Hamin because Hamin's performance was so emotional. Hamin's song was my fav of the night tho

So on Naver there were these pictures along with articles saying that Jay Park met with Choi Hamin at a cafe possibly to recruit him to join AOMG....

Anyone still read this thread?

I always feel Hamin and Swings didn't match at all, but as they grow personal rls during the show it is understandable. Hope Swings will be big help for his future career 

 

Yea netizens echo the same sentiment. Swings is quite the controversial figure in Korea and many believed Hamin got offers from big agencies following School Rapper, but was courted by Swings even before the show ended. You also gotta love the shameless plug Swings put in for the Just Music vol 2 compilation album smh. On the bright side, I think Nochang's beats would pair well with Hamin's style of music.
