I hope no Korean boybands rap in Japanese

Why? One, they suck at rapping in Korean in the first place. Even though Korean and Japanese are very similar languages, Korean's rhythm fits rap much more than Japanese does. There are some great Japanese MCs out there, but it's much easier to find great Korean MCs. To fit with the language, Japanese hiphop, at least the mainstream, doesn't even sound like hiphop for the most part. I don't even know what the hell to call it, honestly.
Point is, if the Japanese themselves have trouble rapping in their own language, it's not hard to imagine how awful a Korean boyband member will sound. Yes, G Dragon and TOP rap in English for Big Bang's Korean songs, but if they rapped in Japanese, I have no doubt in my mind that their raps would sound even worse.
Besides, if I listen to any idol rapper, first thing I end up doing is comparing them to a real rapper. I'd be doing the same thing if idol rappers rapped in Japanese.
First, Verbal of m-flo circa 1999-2002. He changed Japanese rap. So raw back then. His verse is around the 2:30 mark.
Second, Kreva. This is his latest song. He's pretty dope too. I'll just subconsciously compare Korean idol rappers to these two guys (plus a lot more) and will just shake my head.
All in all, I hope the rappers take some damn singing lessons or some shit. Bad singing in Japanese is less embarrassing than bad rapping in Japanese.

I expected my ISP to take longer because of their slowness in the past, but they came out today and fixed it while I was at school. Came home and shouted "FUCK YEAH" a couple of times. Having internet again is better than the first time I jizzed. That's how much I love having the internet.

Next up, they're endorsing my dick in their mouths. Preferrably Soyeon's.
Review: A Pink - Seven Springs of Apink
First review. This isn't some bull shit review where I use technical terms every other sentence to make myself sound like I know so much shit about music (I could easily do so since I have taken classes on music), but instead I will just talk about my expectations for it.As I had previously ranted about, I thought A Pink would be returning to the days of "Into the New World" or "Honey". Thank god I was wrong. Their songs aren't as processed and drowned in auto-tune like recent K-pop songs either which is refreshing from hearing all the other crap lately.
"I Don't Know", their title track, kind of reminds me of an OST for a drama... like the part in a drama where something good just happened to the main character and he/she is riding a bike through the streets all happy-like or as an ending theme song.
Not all their songs on their mini album are like that though. It changes up a bit and I think it shows off their variety and talents very well. They even have a rapper that doesn't totally suck like most other idol groups. The rapping reminds me of T-ara's rapping which is a big plus. My favorite songs are I Don't Know and Boo.
At first I was excited for A Pink, then lost interest, but after hearing their mini album I can say they are better than Rania, CHI CHI, Dal Shabet, (insert more crappy groups). Of course if you aren't a fan of the toned down kind of music that isn't played in clubs than you probably won't like it.
I give A Pink's Seven Springs of Apink a 4/7 based on how many girls I want to bang out of that picture.
Comment and tell me if you liked their album, which songs, or if you hated it tell me why. I love to hear other peoples thoughts.
P.S. I won't ever use a rating system since music is based on opinion and there are so many varieties and variables to consider it would be retarded to try to rank everything on a scale of 5/5 or 10/10. You can tell whether I liked the album or not just by reading or judge for yourself.
Chichi's Ji-U almost became a Kara member

Before they found out Ji-U had a cock. Look at Ji-U's face and try to convince me that is a girl. Just try.
