Epik High works independently in YG


Source: Joy News 24 via Naver

1. [+9617, -147]  Yang Hyun Suk seems to have listened to the fans' wishes from the seventh album.  Other matters just go straight from one ear to the other but he definitely listens when it comes to music.

2. [+8641, -310]  I'll be honest and say that I think the album would have been ruined if they went according to YG's style.  I hope they keep letting Epik High grow independently!

3. [+8165, -260]  This album is incredible... Born Hater... Daebak...

4. [+6142, -189]  It's as legendary as their 4th and 5th album.

5. [+5788, -122]  The songs in this album are truly amazing...

6. [+895, -37]  It was possible for them to make music without any rush because they were in the comfort of YG.  On top of that, they were able to join on a program like Superman is Back and attract the public's appeal with an image as "Haru's dad".  If they were in a smaller company, they would be urged to release their music and promote as soon as possible in order to make money.  If that were the case, the music quality would drop considerably and they wouldn't have been able to release as great of an album.  In turn, Epik High would have ruined their image... That's the advantage of being in a large company because its artists are able to keep their individuality musically.  The truth is in some cases, the bigger the company the higher the quality. 

7. [+751, -43]  So in the end YG is the winner..  other companies invest in group dances and cosmetic surgery while YG invests in music.  They have proven that in order to survive within their company, the artist must be able to compose and write their lyrics... If you read interviews about YG's rookies, 90% of the time they are talking about their song and its composition such as "There were a lot of difficulties while making this song."  "We changed the lyrics on a dozen occasions."  On the other hand, if you read interviews about other companies rookies', 90% of the time they're talking about their group dances or their looks.  "Our choreography point this time around is the crab dance or the butt dance."  Seriously... are artists just dancers???   I am honestly acknowledging that YG has solidified their spot in our country musically.  An artist's music is more important than their looks.

Comment number 7 !!! Preach it !! It gets so boring when idols always talk about other things like ideal type, dance ect are you not promoting the music lool.

Ignis Invictus said...

YG did say they bet everything on music.

Comment no.7 is on point.




They can hate all they want, but when it comes to music, YG is on the spot.

MMXIV said...

They finally understand that making a solid album takes time. So stop fucking begging for Big Bang you dipshits. LOL.

Kari :P said...

The thing is they barely just started working on the album after 2 years abd it will take a while before they finish it and BB members keep saying that the albun will come out soon and with scandals the more thirsty VIP get a little bit crazy lol

koo said...

#2 the thing is... It never was YG style, Epik High wanted to make those songs in 7th album and to this day they still don't regret it bc it reflected how they felt at that time. Its just a step in life, just like this album reflects their mental stage now. People need to stop thinking that YG has the power to control eeeveerrrrythiiinnng

YG might be a mess this year in terms of PR but their music has been on point.

はじめましてよろしくお願いします said...

working as a team, but I bet Big Bang members are always working on new music and songs.

koo said...

yea i bet gd has produced thousands songs by now according to how everyone commented on his amazing song writing ability... i wonder if we'd even be able to hear 1/3 of them in this lifetime

Sue said...

That's just fans being desperate. I don't see the problem in demanding an album it shows how eager we are for new music and how much we miss them. At least we care and want music. Imagine if we didn't? It just shows how popular BigBang are.

Also the false dates don't help if they didn't tell us all these dates like summer 2014 and the end of the year then we wouldn't have to feel disappointed.

You took the words right out of my mouth... Epik High said they made their 7th album more light hearted and how each song reflected an era that inspired them...like a homage to those they looked up too, and Tablo mentioned that his solo album was all about the emotions he went through his rough time making it a very dark album so when his father requested that he would like to hear Tablo sing something more happy Tablo did that.

Honestly the people that keep saying YG is controlling Epik High, it's easier to join the hate on YG than realise Epik High at the time didnt want to make the dark/sad/heavy music they are known for. They wanted to try something new for themselves but its like those fans would only except EH if they stick to being dark/sad/heavy which no one wants to be all the time

bb8534 said...

Trust me, 2ne1'll get nothing since they're likely not apearring sigh

Bella said...

But...they deserve "album of the year"!! It was flaw free & everything I want in an album....i just can't think of any other album better than theirs' or more deserving. And they also deserve "best female group"...well,if it's not them,it should be Girl's day.

bb8534 said...

Agree, but korean awards have a no present no award system. so.....

Kaila said...

Yg Press admin! I hope you'll translate articles about the SIA. WINNER winning an award, their performance, CL's (mediocre actually) performance and Yg's KPlus models, Nam Joohyuk and Lee Sungkyung. I hope you'll translate it, if there's any articles about it. :)
