[tokyo-rose]

HELLO TABLO WHO WENT TO STANFORD AND HAS DEGREES IN ENGLISH AND CREATIVE WRITING! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablo (I wish his picture weren't of him with James Blunt; that's just odd.)

Anyway, for you non-Epik High fans, check out "One," "Fan," "Fly," "Love Love Love," and "The Future." Chyeahhh.

[Joanne]

^ That is strange. xD



I remember I really really liked them during my Korean phase. =D

[Melissa]

OMG that's my favorite song (the first video - "one") in their newest album.

*squeels*

[tokyo-rose]

^ That is strange. xD

Haha, why is it strange?

OMG that's my favorite song (the first video - "one") in their newest album.

*squeels*

"One" is SO catchy, right from the beginning! I showed it to my best friend (who listens to almost no Korean music), she heard ten seconds of it, and told me to send her the MP3. xD I love the lyrics, but I love "Fan" even more.

[Joanne]

Haha, why is it strange?

Haha, let me rephrase that: The picture of Tablo and James Blunt is just random! And he doesn't look quite as good in that picture as in others. =P

Ohh, I thought you meant it's strange that Tablo has those two degrees.

I think I'll YouTube videos of him speaking English.

[Simba]

I just heard of these cats 'cause I saw 'em in the Turntablism section of music @ Myspace. I can't say I'm all that familiar with them, though.

Post downloadables, please.

[queen]

I'm not on my own PC otherwise I'd upload all the songs I recommended.

[Simba]

Sweet, thanks Cristy!

[Melissa]

i'll upload as many of the songs as possible, but you've gotta tell me when you're done downloading, bc it'll probably kill my bandwidth.

They recently had a special stage with Wonder Girls

Breakdown & So Hot

WARNING: "Breakdown" is pretty graphic (blood and violence), so don't watch it if you won't be able to handle it. I was able to get through it, but some people I know weren't.

Ew, Epik High and Wonder Girls?

[venti-anemoi]

ahaha Cristy really doesn't like Wonder Girls XD

"Fan" was the first song of theirs I ever heard and I got hooked instantly. I saw the MV at the same time and it was kinda like "what?" but yeah XD Then I saw "One" and "Love Love Love" and I just got more and more addicted. :]

Thank you for the downloadables!

K!

the files are still there, i just made the folders private.

[Just_Dream]

Tablo was awesome in Nonstop 4.

/random

[dustbunny]

Tablo had an epic life. HAR HAR

no really though, according to wiki: relocating all over the place, getting kicked out of schools/orchestras (lol @ jpark), friends dying from cancer.

damnnn


but the music is good

[tokyo-rose]

ahaha Cristy really doesn't like Wonder Girls XD

"Fan" was the first song of theirs I ever heard and I got hooked instantly. I saw the MV at the same time and it was kinda like "what?" but yeah XD

Because they really suck. -_-

"Fan" is strange, but basically, it's about obsessive love. The girl "loves" the guy so much that she keeps him prisoner. He is so desperate to get away from her that he is willing to set himself aflame and just die, but she extinguishes him. Ah, I like "Fan."

[venti-anemoi]

^haha, yeah, I know. It's kinda creepy, though, like when he's in the dryer or washing machine or whatever and she's just like, twirling her finger in circles and smiling...... creepily. Really obsessive love. XD

[tokyo-rose]

Yeah, I don't know why the heck she puts him in the washing machine. And I don't get why she puts him on the rocket and kills him..?

Have you seen "Breakdown"?

[venti-anemoi]

I just watched it. o_o Wow. Never underestimate a girl in black fishnet stockings.

haha I didn't really get it. Although I laugh at the old guys in the end.

Me neither, since I've never read subs for it. I laughed at them, too; it's a cool ending.

[Simba]

So there goes like half a gig of my iPod space, lol.

[Melissa]

^ TOTALLY WORTH IT IMO!!!

[Simba]

OmG i RAiKU EPiK HiGH SO mUCh DESU kk~~~! ^.^



For real, I'm usually not into listening to music I can't understand, but nonetheless, the instrumentals are tight and even though I don't understand Korean they got nice melody. I could definitely listen to this ish on my free time effortlessly.

And these guys actually incorporate skratching smoothly into their music! Something you don't hear all that much these days. And it's cool 'cause I can recognize most of the sounds they use. Mmmm I love it.

^ TOTALLY WORTH IT IMO!!!

Mos def

Of course you do. It's the power of pwnsome Korean hiphop and rap. ;D

I loved Epik High when I was obsessed with Korean music. I still listen to them sometimes, but not as much anymore. Their songs are really catchy, but I don't know wtf they're saying.

[Simba]

Their songs are really catchy, but I don't know wtf they're saying.

Heh, that's probably going to become a problem with me too not too long from now since I usually like to listen for lyrical content too. But I can't in this case. ><

Of course you do. It's the power of pwnsome Korean hiphop and rap. ;D

Heh, I'd probably listen to more if I could understand, but I've always had an interest in hip hop in Asia since they're at a totally different level than in western cultures.

Subbed MVs do the trick.

At a different level because it's better, right? :D

[iDecay]

My problem with subs is having to read them, lol. Sometimes I just want to sit back and listen to a song, not stare at the screen and read subs. :o

[stardaisy212]

one of my favorite performance by Epik High

Girl Ft Jinbo

[Jinny]

Well, the female voice in 'One' is JiSun from Loveholic..

[tokyo-rose]

YA HUHHHHHHH, im still trying to figure out the females voice

In which song? In "Useon" ("Umbrella"), it's Younha. In "One," it's Jisun.

[venti-anemoi]

Who's the female singer in "Love Love Love"? 'Cause I know Younha did a live performance of that with them, but the girl in the music video doesn't look like her.

[tokyo-rose]

Who's the female singer in "Love Love Love"?

Yoongjin.

[Tuly]

E.H is so creative. I love how they do things from scratch.

[Simba]

I LOVE HOW THEY SKRATCH, PERIOD.

[stardaisy212]

anyone here their backward masking or "Be"?

Epik High criticized for backward masking?

click to enlarge

Recently, hiphop group Epik High has been criticized for the backward masking in their song “비(Be)”.

According to Wikipedia, backward masking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. It often causes much controversy, be it made intentionally or accidentally, especially when a hidden message is embedded in this special recording. It was often associated to the worship of the devil.

“Be” when played backwards, a single word “Jesus” could be heard. This issue last made its way as a headlines in 1994 for the song “Classroom Idea” by SeoTaiJi and Boys. It had seemed that just like the case for Seo TaiJi, this case of backward masking for Epik High is unintentional.

For the case of “Classroom Idea”, when played backwards, the words “not enough blood” was heard. This had clashed with the idea of protestant idea then. And when Seo TaiJi and Boys‘ song “HaYeoGa” was played backwards, the words “I love Satan” can be heard.

Outside of Korea, other singers have also received criticism for the issue of backward masking like the group Judas Priest. They had a song “Better by You, Better than Me” in 1978, which in 1985 rose suspicion regarding backword masking. The words “Do It!” could be heard when the song is played backwards. Parents of the teenage fans of Judas Priest took the group’s company CBS to court, and a total of $40,000 was compensated to the parents. Another group Queen, their song “Another One Bites The Dust”, the words “It’s fun to smoke marijuana” could be heard when played backwards.

anyone here their backward masking or "Be"?

I haven't heard the song, but it's pretty silly. Whoever discovered that one reference to Jesus, which probably wasn't intentional, had too much time on their hands if they played the song backward.

[venti-anemoi]

Why would you play a song backwards? Why would anyone listen to a song played backwards multiple times? It makes no sense.

Parents are strange sometimes.

[dannyordinary]

Ahhhh, I never liked Asian hip hop, but now .. thanks for this thread.

Do you mean "Fan"?

I really like how Epik High incorporated a traditional instrument into "Fan." You'd never think that hiphop could go with that, but they manage it. <3

oo haha I first quote a different post, then remembered that that video was the sh*t and I edited my post :] but breakdown is the second greatest song to me :] and I love the korean harp sound making this vid my absolute fave :]

[tokyo-rose]

but breakdown is the second greatest song to me :]

Yeah, it's pretty good. I like the MV for it even if it's violent. It would have been really amazing to have the Korean harp (what its name?) paired with that song too. *_*

[synatribe]

haha the korean harp is called Ga - ya - guem but people spell it gayageum
so many people pronounce it gay-ageum (which makes me mad) lol but seriously traditional music and modern music is breathtaking :]

[tokyo-rose]

Oh, thanks. Those people probably don't know how to read romanized Korean properly, and/or don't listen to Korean music. (They're missing out!)

Reminds me of when Big Bang performed at an awards show (MKMF?) with a live orchestra for "Lies." So good.

[batman]

OK SO ANYWAYS

I just downloaded their new album "Map the Soul." I'm going to buy the CD too.

it's so gooood. more hip hop than their last album, definitely. reminds me of their older stuff.

[Joanne]

I don't even listen to Epik High anymore, but Tablooooooo

[batman]

The skit is hilarious. XD I really like the worldwide version of "Map the Soul," but the Korean version is also growing on me.

I didn't get to meet any CBers at the concert :\ Melissa, what time did you get in line? I got there around 2, but I was at the front because I joined one of my friends who had been waiting there since 8:30AM.

Epik High was so good. I love how they did "One" acoustic at first and then turned it normal. "Love Love Love" and "Fly" were fun, and omg, so happy I heard "Fan" live.

P.S.

[Simba]

omg, so happy I heard "Fan" live.

Fan must've been amazing

lol ninja said NO HOMO

P.S.

I got super lucky. Since the "Will Call" ticket line was the same as the VIP line, we got to go in at the same time as everybody else. I got there around 5pm, but there were only 2 people in the Will Call line, so I was pretty much in the front.

I was really near the front of the stage and almost got killed during the Far East Movement stage rush. >.<

But yeah, it was an AWESOME concert.

[tokyo-rose]

I'm at 0:37, just grinning and laughing the entire time.

Oh, then I probably saw you and just didn't know it since I was second in the regular line.

People kept shoving forward to get FM's free stuff. One girl somehow got in front of me (I was in the front row at first), so I was in the second row for Epik High's performances. I ended up in the third or fourth row toward the end.

Here's my fancam of "Fan":

[batman]

Man, I went into this concert thinking I was a Tablo fangirl, but realized that I'm definitely not even a little bit as crazy about him as half the girls there. I left the concert liking Tukutz more. <3

Did you see him walking on the street talking on his cell phone? Nobody recognized him at first and when people suddenly saw that it was him, he ran into the building. lolol :D

http://www.omgkpop.com/news/rumors/1587-ep...ties-for-awhile

Since the announcement of Tablo’s marriage & DJ Tukutz’ engagement announcement and military listing, Epik High has decided to to suspend all activities until the return of the DJ.

Military service is required for all Korean men & even male celebrities aren’t been exempt from it. DJ Tukutz will formally enter the service next week and, last Wednesday he posted a statement on their fan cafe saying that “I will leave just for awhile.”

Tablo ended any rumors of the group disbanding by releasing another statement on his blog saying, “There is no such thing as an end.”

[queen]

their side projects always amuse me.
