brief rant
WHY THE EFF DOES EVERY KPOP IDOL GROUP THINK THEY NEED A RAPPER. REALLY. THEY DON'T. ok, so if necessary, designate one of the members in your group as the occasional rapper, but otherwise just a singer or idk eye candy. use rap when you feel it adds to the song (which it usually doesn't), but DO NOT feel the need to ruin EVERY SINGLE good song with a stupid rap!
Half of DBSK's songs are messed up by stupid rapping and/or weird rap/spoken intro...I'm generally not a fan of Suju rapping either. But girl groups are totally the worst offenders! I'm getting more into Brown Eyed Girls right now (e.g. 어쩌다 and 내꺼야), but Miryo HAS to ruin EVERY DAMN SONG. After School too...what is that? really??? The rap is what ruins Diva and Dream Girl for me, both songs I like a lot otherwise. I think one of the reasons I like SNSD's music a lot is b/c they don't awkwardly insert all this stupid rap.
of course there are exceptions. I find Yoobin alright in general...her WG additions are nice. I liked Hyuna's rap in Irony mucho. and I've actually liked most SHINee raps so far, surprisingly.
