caro’s music rec :: BANG YONGGUK - “Motion”

bang yongguk released such a beautiful amapiano-inspired comeback song and i wish more people would know about “motion”. it’s the perfect, chill summer bop that makes you dream, lean back, and escape. if you like stray kids’ bang chan, monsta x’ shownu, exo’s kai, MINO or bts’ namjoon, i’m sure yongguk is right up your alley. i highly recommend his incredible work and a dose of that infamously high voltage yongguk smile because it’s everything.

interestingly, motion is kind of the opposite of his all-time masterpiece “YAMAZAKI” (for those who remember that absolute 2017 banger. god i miss B.A.P and the days when hardcore korean rap was popular, star-studded, and well-produced. it really needs to return), but that beach boy side suits him so well, too. immaculate aesthetics blended with his voice.

yongguk’s delivery never fails. he just has the it-factor, the feel for it. he could collab with tyla (!), sza and normani all at once and still carry an equal verse. (in fact... that would be the coolest concept ever.) and seriously, yongguk is still an underrated visual artist that needs to be more known - he deserves to be back on the map with a fresh start because damn is this absolute king talented with literally /everything/. 

his wikipedia literally reads: “bang is credited [...] as executive producer, lyricist, track producer, and art director, and self-directs videos for his solo work from conception to editing.” just incredible. and to state the obvious: next to yoongi, felix, i.m and namjoon, he’s still one of the most fascinating bass/baritone voices in the business to me. if you’ve seen his 19-minute 2024 movie called “3”? he still got it.

No heart in my chest, just static

Brain like a glitch, so erratic

Don’t talk, I don't trust no habits

Dead boy with a blade, so manic

No heart in my chest, just static

She fuck like a ghost, it's tragic

Eyes roll back, no panic

Baby I’m too numb to be romantic

Face down, blood on the bedsheets

Bite marks deep, yeah she said she miss me

Grave talk, got a voice like six feet

Dead eyes wide, still see when I can't sleep

No heart in my chest, just static

Brain like a glitch, so erratic

Don’t talk, I don't trust no habits

Dead boy with a blade, so manic

Woke up with a throat full of glass

I don't trust love, that's a mask on a mask

Told me kill it slow, so I did with a laugh

Now I'm sittin’ in the dark, countin up my stacks

No heart in my chest, just static

Brain like a glitch, so erratic

Don’t talk, I don't trust no habits

Dead boy with a blade, so manic

No heart in my chest, just static

She fucks like a ghost, it's tragic

Eyes roll back, no panic

Baby I’m too numb to be romantic

Skin peels off when I touch too soft

She said I taste like pain and exhaust

Red on the sink, but it ain’t my loss

Got a smile stitched tight and a tongue full of frost

Hands on my throat like a noose she tied

Said “scream for me baby” while I’m bleedin’ dry

Don’t blink, I don't flinch when I lie

'Cause the devil in my head got a home in my eyes

No heart in my chest, just static

Brain like a glitch, so erratic

Don’t talk, I don't trust no habits

Dead boy with a blade, so manic

No heart in my chest, just static

She fucks like a ghost, it's tragic

Eyes roll back, no panic

Baby I’m too numb to be romantic

Y’all look at this mess called (wait for it) Chio Chicano. And no she isn’t Mexican or Mexican American. She’s a Korean rapper throwing up Blood gang signs, calling indirectly calling people who criticize her ni**ers, and imitating gang and drill rap culture

And this what her comments on insta look like

Just a whole ghetto and ratchet mess. I’m just just going to say this, Chio the fake Chicano is probably going to be the first one to get shot and die from doing this wannabe gangsta routine in the US. I assure you that the Bloods aren’t going to appreciate some random Korean lady playing in their faces like this. Especially when she’s wearing a blue wig. Then on top of that, her nickname is Rice Spice(which explains the graa graa in her caption)

2024 is about to be the year of the Korean Wannabe Blacks.

Ah yes, of course we only have episode two and a wannabe gangster already dropped the f-slur. Congrats JP, how original... (also not including it in the subs doesn't mean it's not clearly shown on sceen fam..)

I don't know how to tell you this but stop using k-rap as your excuse to say 'I listen to rap!!'

ESPECIALLY if you don't even SPEAK FLUENT KOREAN.

Black people have already talked for years about how K-industries have siffoned and appropriated Black culture for years without ever recognizing the black community.

That's why GDragon be walking around with cornrow braids. Cornrows are a type of braid specifically traced to AFRICA. Brought to the Americas by slaves.

That's why 'Rap Monster' - which is what RM stands for - used to walk around with a fucking afro.

K-rap has literally stolen the American style of rap, and removed all culture of it to turn it into a boastful addition to kpop songs. They've done it to RnB too.

At the very least some of them have actually lived in America at some point - like Jessi and Bobby - but that is definitely NOT the case for most of them.

And even if you do listen to K-rap - if you don't speak Korean then it doesn't mean SHIT!! You're literally just listening to a hot guy talking fast in a language you don't even speak - literally not even engaging in the lyrics which is what rap is about.

You're just boiling it down to an aesthetic and slurping it up because you don't even need to understand what you're listening to.

You'll salavate over k-rappers wearing our clothes and appropriating our music while also ignoring how racist and colorist the k-industry can be.

You like it when guys on Show Me The Money get all gangster and boastful then get scared when ACTUAL black men do it.

You don't find black men who do it attractive but will go nuts for Zico.

You get upset cause black male rappers 'objectify women too much' but you LOVE Mommae by Jay Park.

You'll go crazy for pale, model thin idol girls to rap but call women like Megan thee Stallion too vulgar - is it the black skin or the body-ody-ody?

Tell me why you'll listen to fucking LISA rap and hype her up - But you can't name three black women rappers that actually still release music.

K-rap is not your cover in this. Stop that shit. If you think listening to Han from Stray Kids is in any way comparable to actual American rap developed by black rappers I'm begging you to turn on Megan thee Stallion cause 99% of American rappers would smoke these k-rappers who literally live in dorms surrounded by security and stylists 24/7.

K-rappers can barely say 'fuck' or 'bitch' on a track without their agency demanding they apologize 😭😭 fuck outta here.

Y'all need some Flo Milli. Ski Mask The Slump God, Schoolboy Q, Cardi B, RUN THE JEWELS. PLEASE I'M BEGGING
