Chapter 141: Hiphop History (2)

"Movement, Lee Hyo-ri?"

What is this, Kim Do-jun was confused.

Lee Hyori is okay, Kim Do-jun has heard of it, there are too many titles on this female star, and he can't express them one by one, as for what movement is, Kim Do-jun still doesn't understand it.

Gary looked at Kim Do-joon's confused look, and knew that he must not have done his homework well, and in the Korean hiphop industry, basically no one didn't know the organization movement, so he had no choice but to explain it himself.

"TheMovementCrew is not a company, it is a very large Hiphop family, it is a very loose alliance, which basically covers all HipHop singers, in addition to YG company, like Tiger brother's family, we Leessang, DD, Epikhigh, Bizzy, Yin Zhiyuan, etc., we jointly established the Movement family, I just want to promote hiphop music in Korea deeper and farther! Of course, there is a due! ”

Gary laughed embarrassedly at the end, probably amused by what he said.

"Do you still have to pay dues? It's so powerful, so why hasn't anyone from YG joined? Isn't it the biggest hiphop company in Korea? ”

Kim Do-joon was very puzzled when he heard this, there must be something wrong here, logically speaking, such a hiphop family will definitely attract most hiphop singers to join, but now none of the singers of South Korea's largest hiphop company have joined, and there is more or less hidden in it.

Brother Ji took off his hat and touched his bald head, now his hair is almost gone, and he has to wear a hat to cover his shame every time he goes out, which is really sad.

"How so? In the past, we used to scold YG for being just rap, and then the producer of YG also made a song and scolded back. It seems to be called Moveman, and the relationship has not been very good since then, because our organization is almost all underground singers who get together and look down on those singers in YG. I think their hip-hop music has gone more and more and has begun to move closer to the popular aspect, so they didn't join in, but now the relationship is quite good, didn't you see that Brother Tiger asked you to write a song for Bigbang? ”

The hip-hop scene in South Korea used to be very distinct. The underground and the mainstream hardly interact and do not interact much, and both sides look down on each other, and they do not interact with each other for a long time, thinking that the music they make is the orthodox hip-hop music.

This has a lot to do with the region, just like hiphop music in the United States, after the East Coast and the West Coast, like Kim Do-joon's idol ruffian Eminem, which is the style of the West Coast, although Eminem was born in Detroit. Belongs to the East Coast, but his style is definitely West Coast, hardcore rap.

Just like South Korea, hiphop singers are generally divided into three types, the American school, the Japanese school, and the local school, the three achievements are relatively high, basically the American school and the local school, and the strength of the Japanese school is slightly worse, so the two sides are fighting in the small hiphop circle.

For example, MC Meng is also a hiphop singer, but he does mainstream music. but was despised by many underground singers.

In fact, these are not a good thing for the development of music in South Korea, music has no borders, if you blindly rest on your laurels. It's hard to get Korean hiphop music to really come out and develop.

Speaking of which, it is already very complicated, and Kim Dojun can't think so far-reaching, today's chat is already a great gain for him, and he does know a lot of knowledge that he didn't know before. This has a profound impact on you, knowing that the hiphop community tends to have a deeper understanding of tradition.

Kim Do-jun is also very grateful to Brother Gary and Brother Ji for telling him these things, and he also avoided taking a lot of detours.

"Okay, Daojun, I've told you so much today, go back and digest and absorb it, it's December soon, and it's estimated that the end of the year will be very busy, so prepare well!"

After saying that, the two of them stood up and prepared to leave.

The members of the Leessang group are like this, they usually gather together when they have something to do, and they do their own work when they have nothing to do.

After all, everyone has their own lives, and they can't stay together all day, and they are not husband and wife, and there is no publicity, announcement, or anything, so everyone is working together in their own divisions of labor.

"Hmmm! I know, thank you Brother Gary and Brother Ji, I will immediately improve these follow-up work and strive to hand over the business as soon as possible! ”

After saying that, Gary and Ji hugged each other and sent them out of the company.

Then I went back to the studio and began to calm down and make the final changes.

After that, I had to make a sample and hand it to Epikhigh and their company, but I had to make a phone call in advance, and maybe I would have to go over again, after all, I was the producer of the song.

From afternoon to night, Kim Do-joon stayed alone in the recording studio, and hardly went out except for a trip to the bathroom.

I'll have to finish all of this tonight, and procrastination isn't good.

Especially for a singer, credibility is obviously more important than temperance, as for these things, since he chose to be an artist, where is there still temperament, all of them have been left behind.

"Brother Tablo, I'm Daojun! The song I promised you some time ago has been done, why are you free tomorrow, I will bring a sample to let you listen to it? ”

At around six o'clock in the evening, Kim Do-joon had just finished the final revisions, and he couldn't wait to call Epikhigh's tablo.

"Daojun! You've been doing well lately! I watched the new movie, the acting is good, the action scenes are great, I like it very much! ”

Tablo's voice came from the phone, and he seemed to be chuckling softly.

Because the nasal sound is very strong, the pronunciation of Tablo is easy to remember, and basically anyone who has heard Epikhigh's songs for the first time will remember the thick nasal sound of Tablo, with their own unique rap pronunciation.

"Brother Tablo, you're exalting me too much! I'm just a newcomer, so I'll bring you a new song tomorrow to try it out? ”

Although the performance of "Hot Blood High School" is good, Kim Do-jun has not reached the point of pride and complacency, after all, this is just the beginning, isn't it?

"Okay, no problem, we are just preparing a new album, and it is estimated that it will be released next year, by the way, Daojun, do you know the address of our company?"

The voice of the phone is a little tired, don't think about it must be for the new album, the singer basically soaks in the studio day and night when he releases the album, and there are usually two times when it is hard.

One is the early stage of the release of the new album, during which not only all the song recordings and MV shooting must be completed, but also constantly revised to strive for perfection.

The second is the promotion of the release of the new album, which basically doesn't have to sleep during this period of time, and is busy every day, either playing songs or participating in various types of music programs and variety shows, which Tablo deeply understands.

"Brother, how can I know about your company, I haven't been there, you can go back and send me a text message!"

After speaking, the two of them chatted a little about the new album, which was nothing more than some troubles encountered in the creative process, as well as lyrics, beat, and so on.

After a while, Kim Do-joon received a text message from Tablo.

"Address: 103 Seongsan-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul!"

"Hey, isn't this place very close to Brother Ji's house?"

Kim Do-joon looked at the address and suddenly remembered, isn't Brother Ji's house close to Seongsan-dong in the Mapo area? I just don't know where the exact location is, so I'll talk about it after I go tomorrow.

Epikhigh was still a singer owned by Woollim at this time, and the complete failure of the first album CBMass members made Epikhigh realize that they needed a mainstream agency to protect them.

So they signed a contract with the newly established Woollim, the woollim company is very small, but the president is quite well-connected, the president Li Zhengye, the company was founded in September 2003, the initial music style was rock and hiphop, and the rock group Nell was signed in 06.

When it comes to Nell, I have to say that Tablo, Nell was introduced to Woollim by Tablo, and the lead singer of the orchestra Kim Jong Wan is the soulmate of Tablo, because Woollim can give Epikhigh and Nell a fairly free environment for them to give full play to their talents, so they will choose to join this small agency.

Kim Do-jun copied the sample he would bring with him tomorrow, looked at the sky outside the window, winter in Seoul came too early, it was completely dark outside the window in November, he pouted, didn't say anything, just took care of his things, sorted out his equipment, got dressed, put on hats and gloves, turned off the lights, and went home. (To be continued.) )
