"Wow, was that kid really so arrogant at the time?"

Lying on the sofa leisurely, pinching fried chicken in one hand and beer in the other, Jinu raised an eyebrow and looked at Sean who was sitting next to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Eh, brother, I told you that it wasn't like that!" Sean replied with a slight frown.

Tablo, who was sitting behind his desk and using his computer, glanced at both of them and didn't interject.

As the head representative of Highground, a hip-hop music label owned by YG, the studio does not have as much autonomy as Tablo originally thought. Not only with the help of the head office YG publicity and distribution channels, but also the allocation of hardware and software resources, the allocation of funds, and other messy things, so that he originally only wanted to make music freely quickly grew into a still somewhat immature, businessman.

Yes, it is a businessman, in his eyes, Yang Hyun-suk, the flag-bearer who was originally on the front line of Korean hip-hop music, is no longer a hip-hop person, but a shrewd and cunning businessman.

It is precisely under this helplessness that the two eldest brothers of the Tablo and Jinusean group, at the request of Yang Hyun-suk's representative, or rather the order, will participate in the "Give Me Money" competition that has been restarted again after ten years.

But, who knows, Tablo didn't like this game at all.

Can hip-hop music be performed? Hip-hop is an attitude! It is a way of survival! All hip-hop that can be performed is false and disguised. People who live in the rules and frameworks will never be able to understand the true meaning of hip-hop music! Tablo, who has studied in the United States and received the influence of orthodox hip-hop music, firmly believes in this. It's no wonder that he scorns the "Give Me Money" contest and even Korean hip-hop music.

What qualifications do Koreans, who live forever in the moral kidnapping of the so-called country of oriental etiquette, mention hip-hop music?!

It turns out that this is not just his fantasy. It's been two seasons since I participated in the "Give Me Money" competition as a producer, and I have indeed seen a lot of rap players, and some of them even surprised Tablo with their strength, but this still can't change the fact that hip-hop music is completely niche in Korea.

Most of the contestants, once they become famous, will join major companies, release singles, earn music sources, or conduct roadshows, run around to make announcements, just want to take advantage of the popularity to make money quickly, but they have no idea or goal to further improve the status quo of hip-hop music. This has to be said to be a big tragedy.

However, this child is different. Tablo looks at the computer screen, where a video of Kim Min-suk's performance is playing.

In the second round, at the recommendation of Brother Sean, Tablo paid special attention to this player who was praised by him. originally thought that it would be like those players who were optimistic before, or obscure to everyone, or keen on fame and fortune. However, when he saw Kim Min-suk's eyes that were not covered by a mask, Tablo knew that he was wrong.

It is a flame that will never be extinguished, it is ice that will not melt. This child, he will not be brought down by anything, he will not give in to anything. Forever roaring in defiance, even if the voice is hoarse!

This is the true spirit of hip-hop!

However, after watching the first live broadcast, he realized that he was wrong.

"How did you come to be like this...... Sean groaned lowly, holding her head and raising her voice, "That's not the case! That kid was very polite! There was a reason why he didn't take off his mask! His face hurts! And he took off his mask at my request! Why didn't those scenes air!"

"Of course, the director team wants to create an atmosphere of confrontation! Otherwise, how can it be hot?" Jinu saw more deeply than Sean: "The bad thing is that you shouldn't bow to him and apologize." ”

Looking at Sean's puzzled eyes, Jinu only felt that his stupid brother was really a headache, and explained impatiently: "You're a producer! It's his senior! No matter what the reason, making you apologize is the biggest mistake of this kid! Violating the dignity of the elders and young, do you think anyone will like him?"

"No, I'm going to explain it to him! I apologized! I'm sorry for that kid!" Sean became very emotional and got up angrily.

Jinu knew that this was a sad thing that touched him, and hurriedly wanted to appease him, but was preempted by Tablo and said, "Brother Sean, come and see." ”

Sean took a deep breath and reluctantly walked behind Tablo's desk and bent over.

"The live broadcast of "Give Me Money" has just ended, and this is Naver's hot word search ranking. Tablo turned the monitor in the direction of Sean and lifted his glasses.

"First place, mask man. Second place, the fourth season of "Give Me Money". Fourth place, "Give Me Money" Kim Min-suk, ninth place, Sean apologizes...... "Silently reading the rankings in his mouth, Sean's face is getting darker and darker!

"Bastard!" he slammed the table angrily, gasping violently.

"Can't you see it yet? Tablo sighed and said lightly: "This is a TV station deliberately hyping up the topic and bringing a hot atmosphere! Otherwise, why do you think this matter will be on the charts so quickly?

"You mean, Naver is selling hot searches again? Hey!" was pointed out by Tablo and discovered the mystery, Sean scolded angrily and directly.

"Isn't this a normal thing?sean, you didn't know it on the first day, naver has never been disciplined, and their hot search lists are clearly priced. Besides, there's a variety show that won't hype it up like this when it premieres, so why are you so angry?" Jinu walked over and comforted.

"Brother! You don't understand! That kid's rap is really good! If the hype continues like this, the netizens' anti will ruin him!" Sean waved his hand violently and retorted to the eldest brother.

"Ruined, and then?" Jinu scoffed at this and asked disdainfully: "Do you think you can save him?" This is a hype activity led by M TV station, including our YG company, and all related clubs participate by default, who do you think can avoid it? Isn't Song Minhao still scolded for being the champion of the club? Isn't he wronged?"

Taking a breath, Jinu continued to scold: "Just your kindness! Just cherish your talents! But what can you do? Explain out loud, saying that you took the initiative to apologize, and that kid has nothing wrong at all! Don't forget, in the second round, he still wore a mask the whole time!"

Sean opened his mouth, unable to say anything, he could only sit on the sidelines, holding his hair with both hands, and whispered weakly: "I'm real, I like his rap ...... very much"

Feeling the frozen atmosphere in the room, Tablo frowned and remained silent. With his right hand sliding the mouse, he looked at the comments of netizens.

"The most rude bastard dog thing on TV since the founding of the People's Republic of China (blocked here)!"

"At this level, let's go back to school and learn politeness first, otherwise it's really insulting hip-hop music!"

"Dare to make the seniors bow and apologize, what a thick skin! ”

……

"Hey," Tablo sighed with emotion, "What an explosive reaction!"
