He has a lot of good songs. I MEAN A LOT. Even his B-sides are amazing.
Not just "one of the biggest", but the king, er, Emperor of Kpop. Their music industry accorded him the title, as opposed to sheer marketing, public relations, current trends/hits, or online polls.
KING OF K-POP
He's the best songwriter in kpop the way all his songs are hits, even the unserious ones from variety shows.. The gp loves him
Try listening to G-Dragon - Divina Commedia, untitled 2014.
Everybody says their fav artist is different but believe me G-Dragon is different, he was the youngest korean professional rapper till this day, has not released a song in last 8 years but still, the talk of the town, First kpop idol to write and produce songs, which are considered national hits songs, first asain male global ambassador for chanel, noting his achievements will take a whole day
Funny thing is if you watched the making of this, GD is actually very shy and sweet and when he had to to the bits of this MV where he is on the tables knocking things over he actually knocked a drink into a girls lap and he felt horrible and apologized immeaditly. The lyrics to most of G'S and BIGBANG's music are important because for them if a song is upbeat the lyrics are usually deep. They have just regular feel good songs also, Problem is GD does alot of korean word play in his and BIGBANG'S music and even other koreans have said if you dont speak the language sometimes you wont be able to fully understand it.
He is King of Kpop
We need marathon gdragon ☝🏻🗣️🔥
King of kpop ❤👑
"Crooked is all about attitude and mood. I can’t think of another K-pop song that better captures the idea of desperation and sadness hidden underneath puffed-up chest bravado. It’s a raucous-sounding track but far from a party.
Instead, the chugging guitar and haunting siren synth give the impression of a character out of control in a swirling mess of a situation with no exit.
G-Dragon isn’t known as a vocalist, yet his vocal tone is one of my favorites in all of K-pop. You can be the most amazing singer in the world, a technical marvel, but it won’t mean anything if you can’t convincingly convey emotion. It’s clear that a song has been perfectly produced when you can’t imagine anyone else singing it.
With his gnarled delivery, he spits out the hip-hop verses with utter conviction, jeering and hissing until it culminates in that explosive chorus. It’s performance art in the best way, wrapped in a song that could easily stand on its addictive melody and production alone. Taken together, it’s game over.
Crooked practically invented the modern template for angsty rock songs from YG artists, and no one’s been able to match its power yet. The bombastic, sky-high chorus is lifted straight from 80’s power rock but anchored in sadness and real emotion. It’s the rare track that can function both as a stadium sing-along and an intimate portrait of an artist’s frustration.
“Propulsion” is a word I use quite often to describe my favorite songs… that forward movement and momentum that gives a song drive and a surging quality. That feeling is all over Crooked. Musically, it paints a picture of running through a frenzied city, of escape through endless action. It all culminates in that final, breakneck chorus where everything crashes down and the song collapses into darkness.
It’s at once heartbreaking and liberating, and you kind of feel like you need a rest when it’s all over. It’s also a bit of a red herring in G-Dragon’s discography. He can create all the brilliant, hype tracks he wants, but I’m not sure he’ll ever be able to match this kind of pure power again." The Bias List, posted by Nick, 2016
GDragon has Too fast to live Too young to die tattoed on his body . Crooked was filmed in London and is inspiered by punk , Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood fashion. I hope you show it to your mother 😊. GD is one of the most creative minds on Earth and he always push the limits and searching for new ways to express . He could have had joined any music label but he took a risk and joined Galaxy. A tech unicorn company with some tv show program experience but specialised in AI , super IP . GDs eyes are always on the future . New Nike shoes are expected this year and everyone is curious what sound , form a music comeback will take .
The kings no matter what💛🐉👑💹💯
The King ❤
This is one of the iconic songs of Kpop and it was also played a lot when people in South Korea protested recently
我認為他是至今韓國最全面，各方面都很頂尖的藝人。
The Leader of K-POP.
GD and Bigbang doesn't need crazy choreo for their songs. Just listening and enjoying their good music is enough.
King of Kpop
Nice reaction. Lyrics to this give it so much more - very GD. Please react to ( need lyrics - try some fanbased channels that have added eng subs and don't usually block e.g. Dorian Gray) GD Untitled 2014 for a completely different feel and then maybe Bullshit and then maybe Bullshit.
The king
Not me digging all his underrated song and I feel like I discovered a lot of gem😭 Gd is so versatile..he even fit ballad.His signature in music are so hard to tell..the real genius
gd the kings 👑
The King of Kpop GD
Well, the mere fact that kpop idols now can write, compose and produce their own songs is all because of him. They owe it to GDRAGON coz he proved to everyone that kpop idols are not just singing and dancing kens and barbies but a real talent.
👍Awesome. 🖖❤
Vocês precisam reagir mais ao GD❤
Sério! Suas músicas ao perfeitas e cheias de sentimentos❤
I think kpop can’t do what GD or Big Bang does because they need UNITY within the group that’s why they focus on the group dances where in Big Bang all 5 guys can be separate highlights wether by looks, by voice, by charisma since none of them overlap.
We VIP know that the worst synchronized dance belongs only and forever to Big Bang, their color is too strong individually but that doesn’t mean they miss the beat, or get it wrong, it’s just that their body lines are all different all the time 😂
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
wait till you see his cou de etat song mv ❤
In contrast to the upbeat genre of the song, the lyrics tell of hopelessness and sadness, hence being care-less, from a previous love relationship so it's actually a very sad song.
more bigbang and the members please!!!
He release his first song which he first produce and wrote too at the age of 13. Look up "g dragon my age is 13"
Cuidado esse MV é um pegadinha😂. GD é um romântico incurável ❤
.
O MV: ele infernizando a vida de todos
Musica: animada/festa 🎉
Letra: você vai direto para terapia💔❤️🩹
.
P.s: Voce começa rindo e sai chorand🤡😂
Please React to gd superstar 😊
His all songs are different 🎉❤ he is amazing
GD's origin is hip hop but he can write any songs in any genre. He even wrote Korean country songs for Daesung. In the interview, when GD wrote this song, he already had huge success, already young and rich but he was angry for some reason all the time at nothing in particular. He was just rebellious and that was his mental state at that time. Only GD can do this style of music in kpop idols. No one even tries.
I am still waiting for his return to his main job ie singing but i think shoes will come first he is such a teaser he also has a song with both jennie and rose jennie even featured in his mv check out if u r interested
Jennie also ft on his song Black
You do know that all these kpop videos are available with English lyrics? Type in Crooked G-dragon eng sub to find this one. Then look for the caption icon and set it to English.
The fact that no one explained what the song was abt and how it relates to the MV… Even though you’ve repeatedly asked yourselves and wondered out loud abt it throughout the video.
I was interested by the many answers I was expecting to find in the comment section, so i tried going through the comments… The comments are abt how amazing he is, his achievements, impacts, requests for more, etc. Even little random details abt the mv, but no detailed explanations. I wonder if it is because the meaning is not as deep as in newer groups songs/mvs or because the fans themselves don’t know or remember.
Interesting observation.
Actually.... The lyric is about Hopeless, Careless And Sadness.
I think you must watch the Lyric Ver. It's so deep.
Sorry about my bad English.
Thanks for reacting to GD and bigbang, also react to his first solo "heartbreak"
Finally reacting to the King of Kpop!
Bigbang is Legends 🙏
LAST DANCE - BIGBANG
Oooh,would be fun to hve more g-dragon songs reactions. But definitely need to react it with video that have English translation
Nice reaction. Please react to other bigbang's solos. Especially daesung(d-lite) bcz im fan of him 😊❤
This is really not a love-related song…it’s about his life at that moment. He was often praised by public because of his talent, but the public will turn on him shortly after and criticize him for seemly no reason at all.
King Of Kpop and Fashionista❤❤❤
It looks like a lovebreak song but actually gd mentioned the song portrayed his loneliness, emptiness and aggressiveness inside he experienced back then at the hard times… the song quite sad
The lyrics was deep bro
The Beat Vs The saddest Lyrics😢
Try listening to untitled 2014. It's a really beautiful piano ballad.
You can react GD sing Untitled. His voice so good
Lyrical translations cant really do ji’s lyrics justice. So much of it gets lost in translation. Part of the reason why he’s considered a genius among the korean public is because he’s lyrical genius. So many hidden meanings we can’t decipher unless we know all the ins and outs of hangul.
I loved ur reaction, ❤
From India.. but it's surprised me that u didn't reacted to YG(same company as Bigbang) Babymonster ❣️.
Waiting for Babymonster reaction.
We have a bunch of babymonster reactions :)
What’s funny is one direction has songs like this but not nearly as good as
I actually like his songs without MV: bullshit, middle fingers up, R.O.D, window, without you, Gossip man, missing you, today….emmm too many.
Y’all need to react to untitled 2014, Divina commedia and Superstar.
❤️🔥👑🛐
Gdragon Kwon Ji Yong album next please 🥺
A Korean K-pop rapper is showing what happens when he uses British punk rock.
Please react to GDRAGON UNTITLED 2014
Subscribe for Bigbang 💛
all i have to say is watching without lyric is not really the point of the song tbh. because if u dont understand the lyric all u can see in the mv is someone who was crazy, not the meaning behind it. all YG song u should watch with lyric
you scored 30~45 , go deeper, you can see "freedom "
React to TAEYANG Solo MVs
Can you react to
Jeon minju goodbye rain
And The Ark the light
i hope you will react to BINI laTEST SINGLE CHERRY ON TO i swear it realy good
I believe English lyrics won't help u understand the depth of this song
React Nct127 Walk
G dragon & Travie Mccoy is drip legends
GD는 조니 소말리를 미리 예견한 것인가? 삐딱하게 너무 잘 맞아들어가네~ 문제는 진짜 범죄를 저지른 소말리는 철창행 대기중~
