Chapter 140: Hiphop History
After returning from the toilet, Kim Do-joon sat on a chair and asked softly.
"Brother Gary, Brother Ji, how about I just wrote a song, to be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart, it's the first time I've written such a tune!"
This is the truth, the pace is so fast, and there are some electronic music mixed in it, which is not an easy thing for a newcomer like Kim Do-joon, and everything is still in the stage of exploration.
It's just that Kim Do-joon is very talented in composing hiphop songs.
It can be seen from Leessang's new album that this has a lot to do with the few years that Dojun has been studying and living in the United States, and you must know that long-term exposure is also very good, which can cultivate a person's interest and talent.
"I don't know anything else, it may be different from our songs, at least the lyrics don't have any problems with me, but I need to learn from you, Daojun, have you ever fallen out of love? Otherwise, how could he have written such poetic lyrics! ”
Gary took off his sunglasses, took the paper in his hand, and said with a serious face.
In his heart, he has always been very confident in lyrics and believes that he has the ability to write very good lyrics, but when he heard the song written by Kim Do-joon today, he was immediately impressed, how old is this child! can write lyrics like this.
No one knows that you're so worried that you almost stop breathing
Choose a dead end, don't care about the world
There is no other option and no turning back
Your breathing stops before your heartbeat
Wounds, scars, tears, flowing
He has wandered in death
While reading Kim Do-joon's lyrics, Gary raped out with his own unique rhythm, and Kim Do-joon sighed at the end.
"My rap is still far from that of Brother Gary, at least I can't learn it now, I still have to work hard!"
Kim Do-jun won't kick his nose in the face because of Brother Gary's slight praise.
You must know that there are too many geniuses in music, just like Brother Gary's lyrics and rap, the entire Republic of Korea can't find a second one, countless people have imitated it, and in the end they all failed one by one. Even Kim Do-joon can't do it now, and he will never be able to step on Brother Gary's rhythm point.
"That's it! Don't be modest, saying that you are excellent encourages you to keep moving forward, not makes you complacent. All I can say is that this song is good! It's just a pity! ”
Brother Gary looked miserable and looked at Kim Do-joon, such a good song was actually created for someone else, if he guessed correctly. This will be a big hair song, and it should be able to complete the sweep of the sound source!
"What a pity! There are no good songs, and I'll continue to create them in the future, since I promised Epikhigh to help them create a song, they can do what they say, isn't it Daojun! ”
Ji said disapprovingly, although writing songs is a very boring thing, but when the songs really come out, the excitement in my heart is unimaginable to ordinary people, just like a newborn child. Everything is unknown and curious.
You don't know how the song is, whether it can be popular, whether it can be loved by fans, these are all unknown factors.
"Brother Ji is right, one song is gone, and then the creation is good, one is not good, write two, two songs are not good, and create three songs. There's always something for us Leessang, isn't it? ”
Kim Do-joon also said with a smile on his face, these are just a matter of time and inspiration for him, and he believes that as long as he experiences more in the future. The more I have experience, the more I will be able to write more and better songs.
"Daojun is right, since Gary has already commented, I will briefly talk about the melody! Although you deliberately left the feat, you still can't grasp the rhythm of the song very well, which may have something to do with us. Leessang has never tried this type of song, so when you choose to write songs for Eikhigh, you should forget that you are a member of Leessang and imagine yourself as their member, what would you do if you were one of them? ”
Ji is very reasonable, there is no singer who writes songs for others, and positions his identity in the original group, so the songs you write are still suitable for you in the end.
When a real composer writes a song, he must consider who the song is sung for, whether it is for a solo singer or an idol singer, what kind of singer it is, what kind of voice it is, and what the strength of the scene is, these are all factors that need to be considered.
Take Kim Do-joon as an example, fortunately, he wrote the song for Epikhigh, and the other party is also a hiphop group, which has rappers and DJs.
But if you write a song and sing it to an idol group like Superjunior, you can imagine what it will look like.
After listening to this, Kim Do-jun licked his tongue, and suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, picked up the thermos pot, poured a cup of brown rice tea, and drank it.
My dry throat suddenly became moist and comfortable.
No matter who talks about your shortcomings in front of you, or is more or less uncomfortable, it's not generosity or stinginess, it's just a person's instinctive reaction.
"Hmmm! I know Brother Ji, I'll pay attention next time! ”
"I heard Brother Tiger say that President Yang Hyun-seok of YG also invited you to sing?"
A question suddenly came to Ji's mind and he immediately asked it.
"Hmmm! Last time, I performed BIGBANG's "Lies" on the piano and posted it on YouTube, but then Tiger communicated with President Yang Hyun Suk and didn't punish me, just asked me to help write a song! ”
Kim Dojun said helplessly with a bitter face.
After Gary and Ji listened, they were sitting lazily respectively, but they suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and they both sat up and looked at Kim Do-jun seriously.
"This is what you asked for, don't sing other people's songs next time, you still adapt other people's songs without authorization, are you a fool to be a composer of YG Company?"
Ji is like a black-faced uncle at this time, constantly teaching Kim Do-joon.
In fact, he cares about Kim Do-joon very much and doesn't want him to get involved in the hip-hop battle because of this matter, which is too complicated!
"I see! I'm sorry, Brother Gary and Brother Ji have worried you! ”
Kim Do-jun touched his nose embarrassedly, making the two brothers worry about him, it's really not good! ”
Gary, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at Kim Do-joon. Suddenly made a decision, said slowly.
"Do-joon, do you know what kind of company YG is?"
"YG Company? Isn't it the largest hiphop company in Korea? ”
Kim Do-jun was a little confused by the second monk, how could he suddenly ask this question.
YGENTERTAINMENT is also known as YGFAMILY. It is the largest hiphop company in South Korea and the company with the most hiphop singers, and the company's owner, Yang Hyun Suk, also known as Yang Jun, is one of the members of the popular group Seo Tae-ji and his children in the 90s, which has long since been disbanded.
In '07, YG has become the most representative entertainment company in Korea focusing on R&B and hip-hop music. 2006 marks the 10th anniversary of the company's founding.
"Dojun, it's complicated, how to say it, let's start with epikhigh! It's also a good idea to popularize Korean hiphop knowledge! In fact, when Eikhigh was just established, it was under the leadership of Brother Tiger that it entered the hiphop circle, to put it more extremely, Eikhigh's music style was completely decided by CBMast and Brother Tiger, whether it was a lyrical or productive style! ”
Gary spoke very slowly, although not much, but Kim Do-joon was still confused.
"Brother Gary. In other words, the leader of Eikhigh is Brother Tiger! So what is the combination of CBMASS? ”
Kim Do-jun asked suspiciously, I really don't understand this combination.
"Speaking of cbmass, we have to talk about dynamicduo, as its predecessor, cbmass's strong rhythm and rough words are more violent than the current DD (dynamicduo abbreviated as DD!). Now I am telling you some knowledge of the Korean hiphop industry, you have to listen carefully, don't make mistakes in the future, there are more taboo things here! ”
Speaking of this question, Gary is much more serious than before, he used to always like to joke. Now I'm also talking to Kim Do-joon in a serious way.
"Hmmm! I know Brother Gary, I'll listen carefully! ”
Gary glanced at Ji, saw that the other person nodded, and began to talk again.
"CBMast was formed by childhood sweethearts Choiza and Gaeko together with Curbin, whom they met in the UG world in '98. At that time, it was very famous in the UG world! After Tiger became famous in the late 90s, he assisted CBMoss in making his debut in the mainstream music industry in 2000 with the debut album "Massmediah"
(To explain a little here, the ug world refers to underground, which means underground, and Choiza is sure everyone is familiar with it.) FX Shirley's boyfriend)
"Daojun, you only need to pay attention to one person here, then curbin!"
Ji said in a low voice, obviously speaking of this, his mood was also a lot lower, and he probably remembered something from the past.
"Brother Ji, why did you let me pay attention to him? What happened to him? ”
Today's Kim Do-jun is like a curious baby, with a momentum of breaking the casserole and asking the end, wanting to find out.
At that time, Tablo came back from abroad, and often went to Dayang Company to ask for autographs, and later became familiar with the three people of CBMASS, and he and Jin also met under the introduction of Choiza.
The three of Epikhigh have always appreciated CBMASS's words, in fact, EPIKHIGH's first album was produced under the guidance of CBMASS, but unfortunately Curbin stole EPIKHIGH's recording fees, CBMass's recording fees, and even Movement's activity funds, which eventually led to the dissolution of EPIKHIGH and CBMASS, which are all natural things! So I told you to be careful of this person! ”
In fact, when Tablo was on variety shows in the early days of Epikhigh, he often mentioned that the most painful thing recently was the betrayal of his friend, which is what he was referring to.
Then Gary spoke, and the two brothers took turns following Do-joon's story.
"Later, after cbmass disbanded, choiza and gaeko reorganized DD, saying that they wanted to be the strongest DUO, and their beats were very outstanding in the cbmass era, while in the dd era they paid more attention to melodies and bright music atmosphere!"
"If epikhigh and our leessang relied on lyrical lyrics to stand out in the hiphop world, and cbmass relied on strong beats and lyrics that attacked current politics, then the reorganized DD relied on meticulous flow and emotional expression! After the reorganization, they are less perverse and stronger than they were at the beginning, but they are still the number one hiphop group in Korea! ”
Brother Ji said this, he had slowly lowered his head, looked at the floor, stared straight at a place, and also remembered the past when he debuted, and he was also full of all kinds of hardships like them.
It's not easy for artists, and it's even more difficult for singers in the hiphop world, so much so that they sometimes envy Kim Do-joon's luck, there are not so many things to worry about, and it's always been smooth.
From joining the group to acting, and participating in variety shows, it was very smooth, and it didn't go through too many twists and turns, which is still envious.
"By the way, do you know why we asked you to pay attention to Curbin?"
Brother Ji tilted his head sideways, with a slight smile on his face, looked at Kim Dojun and asked.
"I don't know, didn't this person cheat DD and Epikhigh of the recording fee? Could it be the reason? ”
Kim Do-joon thought for a moment, looked at Gary and said.
"This is one aspect, and the other is that he cheated on the whole movement, you don't know, Curb is Lee Hyori's ex-boyfriend!" (To be continued.) )
