[Instiz] G-Dragon's gift to Epik High vs Epik High's gift to Bobby


Tablo revealed, "I did a featuring for G-dragon's album in the past.  What's great about working with GD is that he gives out presents and a really nice one at that.  He gave me a very expensive gift.  Honestly, that scares me a bit.  Because if it's like that and GD does a featuring for us next time, we also have to get him a gift and unfortunately we don't make as much as G-Dragon."

Tablo felt burdened by G-Dragon's gift and later...
They gave Bobby a gift for his featuring.

[Bobby's Interview] Do you have anything you'd like to buy?
"Just one or two things, I wanted to buy a watch but the Epik High hyungs gave me one as a gift.  It was as thanks for featuring in 'Born Hater'.  It's something that holds a lot of meaning to me.  That watch is a symbol of hip-hop."

The watch that Epik High bought for Bobby
Reported to be around 9 million won (~$9000 USD)

If Epik High felt burdened by G-Dragon's gift and was able to buy Bobby a gift like this...
just what did G-Dragon buy for Epik High?

Source: Instiz

[1] "What exactly did G-Dragon give them then?"

[2] "G-Dragon must have bought each of them an island."

[3] "If they gave Bobby that watch, GD must have bought them the whole store."

[4] "Can I go help G-Dragon with a featuring too?"

[5] "Did he buy them a car or something?"

[6] "Wow... the world that they live in is so different"

[7] "Did he get them diamonds?  I can't remember."

[8] "Bobby always wears that watch.  Wow, GD is my favourite artist but he honestly lives in such a different world."

[9] "Maybe GD got them a building"

[10] "So jealous... they have so much money..."

[11] "I bet GD must have given them something very unique.  Dok2 also did a featuring for GD back then and he gave him a bag that was one of the 35 only ones in the whole world. ㅋㅋㅋ"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

The must have to be Hip-Hop according to Bobby: -
1) Not Showering
2) A watch


Lmao !! This kid is too much, bless him XD

shinwonhoar said...

I would gladly feature for GD /IF ONLY/ I have the talent, skills, and fame but nope i have none of those

audreiknoweverything said...

He precisely gave someone that helped him with acccording to their likes and preferences. Such a good artist

maria said...

"Can I go help G-Dragon with a featuring too?" Basically

Yehet said...

"That watch is the symbol of hip hop" what???

Riyadh Prawiryo Att said...

Wait, if epik high feat GD and GD give them expensive stuff, how about park bom??? How many expensive stuff from GD to park bom

Guest said...

Why does Bobby always sound so dumb? Real reason ikon is delayed....perhaps cause these kids need media training. Lol. I'm sorry but its kind of embarrassing. I used to like Bobby but man....

Apple said...

Bobby certainly loves that watch, he wears it all the time. And just what artists need to give GD when he features in their songs xD
(Even GD's a-day-outfit might cost more than some idols' paycheck...........)

Jussy McCarthy said...

Maybe he paid her in the most precious gift of all...corn.
He did give some one chocolate as a thank you in the early 2ne1 TV.

bruh said...

THE WATCH IS A SYMBOL OF HIP HOP HAHAHAHAHA

Feb said...

Maybe because the watch is a gift from Epik High, and Epik High is hiphop?


And yes, I have read that infamous interview of Bobby and I admit the boy needs time and more exposure to have a proper understanding of things, but cut him some slack.

Feb said...

Main takeaway: all my biases are rolling in $$$$$$$$ XD


Except the young ones probably, but their time will come <3

gdgom said...

GD can brag everything. He has it all. :))))))

Amanda Rachel said...

LOL Corn. Blackjacks all miss Park Bom Y_Y

Amanda Rachel said...

That's my GD ^_^
Bobby is so funny LOL. He is good but needs to watch what he says. Don't be like Yang CEO. Wish for his great debut with iKON.
If Epik High gave Bobby $9000USD watch, I wonder what did they gave to Mino & BI. They surely have more money than I expect them to be.

Jussy McCarthy said...

Didn't Tablo say the price was of a 'nice laptop' (paraphrasing)?
It might have been burdensome because of the amount of thought that went into the gift than the amount of money (although it might well have been pricey too).

pamela said...

lol, i like Bobby hahhaha but sometimes he sounds stupid, maybe is his charm(?)

ygBIATCH said...

I hope that ones iKON debuts bobby won't be the one talking in interviews tbh~
He's such a naive and innocent soul, but the things he says sometimes are just...ugh...
Also, can I go with you commenter n.4? lol

guest said...

But how many times do people have to cut him slack? I mean honestly? The kid says bonehead things all the time.

guest said...

I found it charming maybe the first few times he said something ridiculous. Once he won SMTM, it's like he lost every ounce of brain he had. I hope to never hear the words "hip hop" come out of his mouth again -_-

Fernanda_YGFamily said...

I can imagine it. You feel as though you need to return the favor, but how are you going to do that? Epik High ain't got no GD money. But damn, U$ 9,000 a watch? Bobby ain't got that Epik High money lol

cigaretteplease said...

Bobby sounds dumb most of the time, it's disappointing.

commedesfuckdown said...

I think he was trying to say that hiphop is influenced by everything in life, even the smallest things can be a representation/muse to hiphop. He is just soooo bad at expressing himself, slightly ignorant ans and way too innocent. I had a good laugh reading that interview. Hope in the future BI or Jinhwan will be responsible for talking.

Judyi said...

God bought them a really nice lap top but know I'm wondering if he bought them a lap top for music, to each person....was it made of cold emcrusted with their names in dimonds. Wholly sheit a $9000 gift to Bobby

merp said...

idgaf if bobby sounds stupid because im laughing very hard right now and it only makes me love that dork even more lmao

Kidari said...

why everybody goes after Bobby for saying that the watch is a symbol of Hip Hop. I don't think that is a stupid thing to say . It's not cliche he said his honest thought

Tru3star said...

I think Bobby is a huge troll. When you read his interviews, he has some really amazing points but then he says one thing and laughs.....and I'm like really dude? I guess he'd stop that real soon when the backlash becomes really big

KIKI97 said...

Same! I think he was referring to how many hip hop artists wear gold accessories. Since Dok2 and The Quiet were his mentors I can see how he came to have that thought. LOL he should probably chill on saying hip hop often cause he'll end up being criticized for it.

yglover said...

[2] "G-Dragon must have bought each of them an island."

i'm not surprised.

Riririr said...

My dad wears an expensive watch too, i guess he is hiphop? lol

JJYlover said...

Tbh im really worry about kimbap..for some weird reason i got the feeling that he gonna do or say something stupid in the future that gonna backlash him so bad..well hes still young so i hope he can gain more experience n become mature..n please just chill a bit with the hip hop thing..man either his soul is so innocent or hes just dumb..or maybe both..haha..

NaiRaGon said...

the comments of Knetz crack me up. haha FD is so rich.

guest said...

3) high fiving with friends is also hip-hop to bobby
Lmao!

guest said...

Bobby need to be careful with the words. His dumb words might creat problem in future.

고춧가루 아들 said...

So no shower while wearing gold watch is hiphop....ok.....

pamela said...

LOL I dont think is that bad :/
in the future, I think he will know how to express himself better :)

pamela said...

Dumb Kimbap !!!! Hope he learn to express himself better :)

sol. said...

I'm confused by the definition of Hip Hop to Bobby
He's cool and all, but his understanding of Hip Hop as whole is quite lacking...really not showering and high fiving...-sigh-
He seem's as a hip hop try hard wherever he open his mouth, He's talented and all..

🍒 cherry lip said...

Exactly my reaction 😂😂😂

Fernanda_YGFamily said...

I think Bobby is trolling everybody and i'm loving it! Quite unusual for an idol. But then again, you can't hardly consider him an idol, not in the regular sense. Anyways, here's to hoping he'll be more careful in the future, but for some reason i doubt it. lol

Ri said...

I don't even care to with what people shaming him thanks to his infamous interview, i don't even care with what he said there

Adelia said...

GD golden diamond boy, really...
bobby learn from professional troll (YG sajangnim)...

Yehet said...

Lol I am a fan and I love him. 😁

Ale C said...

People take everything Bobby says way to literal.. and I thought it was already proven by someone that the watch Tablo gave Bobby was not a Rolex but a Bape that looks really similar... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4od_FlCMAAlHKu.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4od_CeCEAAP-cV.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4od_FkCQAAbpTD.jpg

Fernanda_YGFamily said...

People are really creative. Lol

Feb said...

And exactly how many times has he answered interviews? How many times has he given an answer that is 'worthy' of being ridiculed?


If in his next 5 or 7 interviews or so after debut, he keeps saying things that betray his lack of knowledge and/or his misguided understanding of hiphop then I would agree with what you say, but for now, your idea of "all the time" is just as ridiculous to me as not showering being hiphop.

Lol said...

All the time? Lmfao if twice means all the time to you then sure, but two naive interviews aren't nearly enough for people to get tired of "cutting him slack." Cutting him slack implies he did something wrong but anyone can tell that the boy just doesn't know how to express his thoughts correctly. Have fun riding the hate train though, must be getting really full in there.

guest said...

Hm well let's see, using your exact point the kid has only done a handful of interviews and in the process said:

He didn't know Eminem was white (but grew up in USA during height of Eminem fame)

Generalized the entire african american population as being "hip hop"

Claimed he wanted to join YG because he had a high interest in rap but then later admitted that he knew nothing about hip hop and BI had to teach him (um great....)

Said that high fiving your friends is hip hop (learned from BI)

Not showering is hip hop (dude...)

and now that his watch is a symbol of hip hop.

The kid needs either a muzzle or for YG to pay someone to teach him how to speak. It's not just that he's charmingingly dumb, he's borderline offensive. I had to come to the point where I stopped shielding him and acknowledged that he managed to f up so much in such little time...and it's because he's dumb af.

guest said...

To clarify, he didn't grow up in the USA during the height of Eminem's fame. He moved to the USA sometime during elementary school. It shouldn't be considered an offense whether he knows Eminem or not. Regardless.


He didn't generalize the entire african american population as being hip hop. That's an assumption.


The part about Hanbin is actually a huge miscommunication. It was said in a way that meant to portray Hanbin as one of the biggest inspirations to him, not that Hanbin actually taught him hip hop wtf. To prove this, Bobby released VARIOUS tracks with friends RAPPING before he even joined YG as a trainee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pleM7DNaSa8 Here's a link of one of them if you care enough.


HE ALSO NEVER EVER SAID THAT NOT SHOWERING IS HIP HOP. He said that not showering, high fiving your friends, etc. gave off the same VIBE that he enjoyed in hip hop. Yet again, another damn mistranslation that people keep spreading around to try and (((pathetically))) prove a point.


He doesn't need a damn muzzle, he's not a dog. If this is fucking up to you I would love to see what you describe other issues that are actually "fucking up that actually demand more of your hate and time.

evelyn said...

My exact reaction lol

Apple said...

Yeah lol guess he loves hip hop too much xD

Feb said...

I was about to reply but the lovely 'guest' below has done all the work for me, so go figure.


And btw, all the points you listed above came from 2 interviews. TWO. And the accuracy of the translation is questionable, like 'guest' has explained below as well.


If you used to be neutral towards the boy and got annoyed with what he said in those interviews, then I invite you to keep an open mind and give the boy some time. If, however, you are someone hell bent on hating him for whatever reasons, then nothing he says or does will change anything for you, and I have wasted my time talking to you.

jhen4real said...

I wonder what their gift for Hanbin though, considering he composed Born Hater..

Byu said...

I think its Rolex, from the white dots and spacing between numbers, its similar to rolex's than bape's.

Ale C said...

mmm not really, look again.
His watch doesn't have the same face as the rolex. His watch doesn't have the white marks for 12, 6 and 9, there's nos cyclop and where the model is suppossed to be should is only 3 lines not 4, lke in the rolex one.


But then again I could be wrong haha is not like is a big deal...
