REVIEW OF SMTM5 EPS 4

Review 23.23

Hello, it’s me again. Ok, I will straight up the case now. I am going to review eps 4 of SMTM5. It was called “Heaven and Hell” round since it was 1 vs 1 battle, one rapper had to win against another. They were chosen or they might to choose, depends on the SMTM5 crews. The first battle was Reddy vs Mojae, or I can say the high rank (Reddy) vs the low rank (Mojae). If you watch the cyper mission (eps 3), Reddy messed up his lyrics. He tried to fix it but failed. I was dissappointed but he was still good anyway. When they performed, both did well and no one messed up their lyrics. However, Reddy was better, so he passed. The next battle was still between low rank vs high rank. But to be honest, I was so shocked since they were in different level. Yups, Flowsick vs Seung Yeon (Idol from Unique group). Arhhhh I never expected it before but both did very well, either Seungyeon and Flowsick. Their beat and rhyme were good, I enjoyed their performance. Anyway Flowsick passed, but Seungyeon did very very good too. I hope someday he will get a time to shine with Unique ;)

The next was Myundo vs Taewon (Zico’s brother). Hm.... Myundo was good but he was a little arrogant and overhyped (in this case). I really hope Taewon won over him. Yep, he rapped really good and confidently, plus Myundo messed up his lyrics. Sorry to say this but the producers were too biased toward Myundo. He messed up, Taewon slayed this performance, why the hell there was another battle. Why did not they pass Taewon instead of making stupid round again? I was so so dissapointed in the all the producres. Poor Taewon. But then, Taewon started to screw up. I did not what happened with him in the revival stage, his weird gestured appeared again. He walked through the side of the stage, not in front of the stage. I really had no idea what happened to Taweon. He did good before but was like dying in the revival. Ok, I was mad while wathing it. So whatever.... And yeah Myundo passed. Thanks to all those biased producers. Yall sucked. The next was Superbee and Lilla Marz. I thought Lilla Marz had that kind of revenge to Superbee, or I called it like jealousy? Hm.... Molla. Lilla wanted to smack Superbee so bad yet he was too good eventhough he messed up a bit. Superbee passed.

The next was Sanchez and Evo. He wore a white hairband, I cried. He gave positive vibe that is why I like him so bad. Both did good, they were like collaboration than a battle. Seriously, they were good but Sanchez did better. So, congrats for him. The next was Sang Soo vs Killahgramz. Hm.... Sang Soo was nervous since Killah started to rap (before the stage), and he has that unique flow rap style that made me addicting to his rap. They chose beat from Kush and the beat was hard, I think. I did not have any idea why Sang Soo chose it. Unfortunately, he messed up his lyrics. In the other hands, Killah showed a powerful rap. So yeah, Killah passed. This beat was sooo Killahramz.

The next was One vs Lee Gyunhwan. One messed up again. Sigh, I was so so disappointed. He went so far by luck, I think. Their performance were worse than the previous. The verse was mixed up, One forgot his lyrics and tried to fix it by doing rap again as soon as his part stopped while it should be Lee Gyunhwan part insetad. Sigh again. Good think, Lee Gyunhwan is amateur rapper that he was eliminated. One, please show me more. The next was Seo Culgoo vs J’kyun. Both messed up heir lyrics. So, I was okay with everyone who would pass. Seo Culgoo passed but he seemed so desperate. Maybe it was due to the their relationship which was closer than everyone expected? Ok, the next was Gun vs Seunghwan. Gun was just screaming and yelling, I did not like it all while Seunghwan messes up with lyrics. I did not expect anything from them. The next was Junoflow vs Hash Swan. Wahhhhh I really like this stage, both did really really really good. To be honest, I prefer Juno to Hash Swan but the producers said otherwise ;( Juno was eliminated I was sad. That stage was my fav so far. And the next was G2 and Snacky Chan. The producers praised G2, but I did not like the way he raps to be honest. I did not know why ;( Snacky chan was fucked up, hence G2 passed. This eps ended like this, there were still some contestants who had not performed. Mnet did dirty mediaplay as if Cjamm and Bewhy would face each other which was impossible since the both are the strong candidate for the winner. Anyway, I have watched Eps 5 but I am too lazy to keep review. So, I will review next time. So far, my faves are Bewhy, Cjamm, Flowsick, and Killahgramz.

Junoflow vs Hash Swan

REVIEW SMTM5 EPS 1, 2, 3

Review 00.22

Hello Guys, how are you? Finally I am back to post ;) Hehe, anyway I am about to review SMTM5. It’s kinda late tho I am sorry since I was hella busy for the past weeks. Before I start to tell how the audition was going, let me show you the producer teams at first. Here we go:

As usual, there are four producers lines up:

The first producers : Illionaire label. You can say the winning producer in SMTM3. They are Dok2 and The Quett. The second producers : YG ent label, they are Zion. T and Kush. Hm... I was a little surprised with Zion. T appearance as he aint rapper but a R n B singer. I was like “Lmao what is he doing here?” Never mind. And Kush, he produced many great albums and artists such as Taeyang and 2ne1. The third producers ; AOMG. Oh My God, they are Gray x Simon D as representative. I am so happy. I am their fan. New fan I mean. The fourth producers are Gill and Mad Clown. Mad Clown? I do not really know about Mad Clown except his habit that was forgetting lyrics while rapping. Gill was ex-same Leesang group member alongside Gary (Running Man’s fan must have known him).

The contestants were around 9000 thousands people, wow. It took two days to judge. Oh poor the producers. Anyway, many contestants from SMTM4 came again in this season like Bewhy, Taewoon, One (Jaewon), that Snoop Dog’s guy (who is his name? Seo Chulgoo I think), SuperBee, and others. Last season, the producers automatically eliminated the contestants who forgot their lyrics. However this season, the producers more into looking at the potential contestants. If you watch, many of them messed up with their lyrics but still passed especially those who were being judged by Mad Clown.

Crazily, some contestant were so rude like bringing up a gun and point out at the producer’s chest. Fake or not, it was so cheap trick. My favorite so far (based on eps 1) was Bewhy. His line “real recognize real” is a legend tbh. If you watch the last season, BeWhy lost to Mikrodot in 1 vs 1 battle. He came again with more strong rapping and I like it. Gun, Mino’s cousin was coming too. Mino came to support him, and of course Mnet would media play it smh. To be honest, I did not like Gun’s rap because he was yelling and screaming but he passed. Sanchez, Mikrodot’s brother, came to join too. He is a vocalist in his group called Phantom but originally, he is a rapper. You know what I like about him is his positive vibe and energy. He was like that dorky type and happy virus. Really, he is so positive person. It went well so far, less dramatic than last season lol. So, I calmly spazzed and not dramatic again. I did not memorize all the passed contestants, only some of them since I ever knew them before. They were Taewon (Zico’s brother), One, beWhy, G2, Myundo, Reddy, Seungyeon, Cjamm, Sanchez, Giant Pink, and many many more. Yall should watch ;)

Round 2 gathered the passed contestants. The rules were here: There were four stages, each stages represented the producers. The contestants would pass if they get at least one “pass” from the producers. Started with Woo Taewon, he did good in this round and get all passes. I was not into his rap, like out of breath. Well, at least he was better that last season. Everyone who passed were actually good. One (rapper name) once again did not do good, like what did you do in YG ent? I really want to watch a better One. Luckily, he passed. Myundo, the first contestant ever to get encore in this round. Every producers shouted “Encore! Encore” Well, not complain tho his rap was unique and the beat would make us dancing along him. Cjamm, as expected, all passes. Gun, I want to watch him but Mnet did not show his performance. Sanchez, hahahahaha he was like hosting in an event. The way he spoke was greasy. He is really social butterfly. He got all the passes too, congrats J I did not expect it tbh. And Bewhy, the monster rookie rappers, he easily get the all passes. As expected ;)

Eps 3 showed the LA Audition. I am sorry I can not say much because I did not watch it fully, just some clips. Firstly, there was Timballand, a popular producer and rapper in America. Oh yeah, Flowsick was beast. His rap were so A++++++++ I like him. Fyi, Flowsick is well-know rapper from global hip hop group called Aziatix. Then Killahgramz’s rap (Is it right spell?) was unique too. And he was so cute, hahah cutey fatty rapper ever joined SMTM (after Loco of course). Junoflow’s rap was good tho and he is good looking. There were two females contestants who passed, they were Miss LA and Temo (?I forgot, let me check it again). Do you know what made surprised was that Superbee joined again. What did he do in America? He joined the LA audition, why not in Korea? That rich boy. Nine contestants passed. Unfortunately, there were only 5 tickets to Korea. Flowsick, Junoflow, Killahgramz, Superbee got chosen by the producers. One ticket lefts, time to do cypher mission. There was tie between Miss LA and Temo, then there was cypher mission again with beatbox by Timbaland. Temo passed yet she dissappeared, so Miss LA went to Korea instead. To be honest, out of those five rappers, I really love Killahgramz’s rap. His rap was so unique, and the beat he chose was totally my type. Go go Killahgramz. After that, the passed contestants got into the room. They were ranked by the previous round (based on who many passes they got). Hahaha such a discrimination. Anyway, after they were ranked, they should do a cypher mission from the low grades, middle, until top. Some made mistakes, like Reddy, One, Taewon, as usual. This round would be 1 vs 1 battle. The one had to choose, and the others would get chosen. I will review again for Eps 4. Please wait ;)
