Before I go ahead, I must say that T-Swizzie is the Ultimate Lady Gangsta in my book. Earlier today I saw a particular link on a friend's Facebook page that caught me by surprise. I then made a comment about the current state of Korean Music and that there always had to be a catch for 2NE1's music being so catchy.
Then I decided to do some research as to how they were able to make it in the superficial Korean Pop world where everything is at face value, and you can be a singer if you look good but cant sing (Autotune has made pitchy voices sound in tune for many years now. It just happens that T-Pain has created a new use for it.)
I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK. (about 2NE1).
First of all, I dont think I've ever seen a 15 year old dance like this before. But the heart and soul of this group is the fresh, young (18 year old) CL.
For years, Tasha Reid has been the premiere female rapper of Korea (arguably the world). But I think this 18 year old may have it in her to get close. However, this is only if she is lead in the right direction. Take for example G-Dragon. I once thought he may have been the savior korean hip hop needed. Then YG picked him up. Despite his popularity, we all know he is no Korean Tupac.
So, PLEASE YG. Do Not Fuck This Up. You wouldnt have taken Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez, and have made her perform songs written by Flo Rida, would you?
Damn. Did I really just include Left-Eye and Flo Rida in the same sentence?
