Mighty Mouth vs. M-Flo

I know it's been a while since I updated this but life happens and I can't do everything fun that I would like. Whilst getting ready for a little road trip to Chicago I finally had an excuse to catch up on my K-pop weekly music charts. I was disappointed that in about 2 months there were maybe only 6 songs I could actually enjoy enough to add to my collection and from those only 2 would make the final cut to stay on the ipod with other classics such as Turbo, NOISE, DJ DOC, Roo'Ra and Seotaiji.

Anyways one of those particular songs that popped out at me was Mighty Mouth's Tok Tok


It made me remember that there were a few other Mighty Mouth Songs that I had saved on you tube but hadn't downloaded for my own listening pleasure.

Love Class


I Love you


Energy


Listening to them reminded me of M-flo. Is Mighty Mouth a Korean version of M-Flo? They have that same cheery upbeat flow that M-flo's early albums did. Also Mighty Mouth's use of guest female vocals made me think of that as well. M-flo has been doing the same thing since their female vocal, Lisa left the group in 2002.

Let Go


Love Don't Cry


Love Bug


Bump Bump

MC MONG

According to Wiki He premiered as a solo Artist in 2006 but was originally part of People Crew.

I'm looking into him because of this heartfelt Hip-hop ballad


Other songs I know of his are


AND!


And are some videos form his time in People Crew (The last one is one of my favorite all time songs)

Good song but WTF Video

Yah.......... Why does Korea have some really crazy shit in their music videos?  This song alone I like.  But the creepy owl costumes I just don't get.  I mean Legend of the Guardians wasn't even that popular in the States do they need to be an All Owl Rocker band?  ~sigh~

Ok and not to mention this song another fantastic boy group but I really would of been better off never seeing this music video where I mistake most of them for cute Girls.

Gain - Irreversible

This is one of those few music videos that is sort of legendary because it is a full story line and the drama in it just pulls at your heart strings.  Not to Mention it is an incredible song on it's own.

Feeling the Rave Effect~!

OH man do you remember R.ef?  Started in 1995 this 3 member group of guys was all the rage.  Their name R.ef stood for Rave Effect in the beginning and then it changed a little to suit their more "black" ablums, which I still don't totally understand, Ruff Eazy Flava?

Their first album as pretty good, a lot of memorable tracks but unfortunately their later albums as most K-pop ones do lack.  There are few K-pop artists that could keep more then 3 tracks in the rankings per album popular.

I remember all the girls having a crush on the lead singer Lee Sung Wook and his silky hair. For some reason I was always about the background guys. I had a thing for dancers so I was into the Back up singer Sung Dae Hyun. And lastly their older rapper Park Chul Woo.

K-Rap

Personally I've never been a big fan of rap.  I remember when it blew up in 90's when I was growing up getting more and more intense in the States.

In Korea it was something they were just wrapping their head around.  They were in-between this huge Reggae phase and finding themselves.  I remember Roo'ra with their original "panic" style Rap.


and Of course SeoTaiji Rap from Hayago and Nan Arayo which I won't repost.  Just go back and check it out on the earlier posts.

Also Deux was early onto the K-rap Stage.


I did find this entertaining little nugget of Seotaiji doing a little Reggae style rap


But The Group that I remember that started K-Rap for me was DJ DOC with "Sorrow of Superman"
Which I am having a hard time finding a Video to share except this Myspace video, follow the link!

DJ DOC- Superman's Sorrow

Friday Fever

I'm going to post the Song that is putting me through the day into the weekend.

Today I have two songs on repeat.  No particular reason they are getting me pumped up.  Partially due to the dance, the sweet sugary girl voices and the sweet outfits.  The Pop beat keeps a spring in my step as I walk the library Stacks.

Enjoy!
First up we have "Clap your Hands" by 2NE1


Then "Shady Girl" by Sistar
