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

It begins out of Love
Just as a little side thing for me to take notes, vent, and reminisce on something that has always been a huge part of my life, K-pop.
A little history of myself first. I started to listen to K-pop when Seotaiji and Boy's first hit the scene. I was probably in 5th grade at the time. I'm now 29 and have followed more groups and watched their progression then most K-pop fans these days. I remember when in the States the only way to get K-pop was on video through the Korean grocer and it was Inky Gayo and Sang bangson TV Gayo 20! Before KMTV and around the same time AOL got started. I am OLD SCHOOL ~puhahaha~ I'm not so up to date with Current K-pop I relay on my High School Students, and K-pop Charts like Soompi. I have over 150 K-pop CD's from original releases and some groups their full career anthologies such as Deux, Noise and Roo'ra.
I am Full Korean born and raised in OHIO. I am no where close to being Fluent in Korean so you can expect some mistakes. I used to go to Korea on a regular basis when my oldest Brother lived there. So if I was dropped off in the middle of Seoul I could definitely find my way home or the nearest station to Apkujung or Yonsei dae. I did one summer at Yonsei before College, I would advise any new High School gradute to go do that! AMAZING experiance you will never forget and some life long friends.
FIGHTING!
Expect a lot of music videos, references and comparisons and some history from what I know.
Let's start it out with one of my All time favorites Seotaiji Hayoga
