I started following the pop charts again over the summer but now the really good stuff I liked has dropped out and here’s a list of 2020s pop music stuff that I can’t stand:

- the simultaneous returns of Adele, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay, aka all the dull British megastars who sell shitloads of records every time they put anything out and become absolutely ubiquitous and inescapable for months on end - that Imagine Dragons song that’s on not one, but two adverts, one of which plays during every other Spotify ad break - the choice of Bring Me The Horizon as the one rock band who get to be played on Radio 1, and the one rock band that my old emo friends choose to still follow despite their music being more and more catshit with every release - the number of pop singers whose speech patterns are modelled after Rihanna’s Barbadian patois even though they’re English white girls (especially ironic when Little Mix do it after that blackfishing scandal) - the Clean Bandit/David Guetta/Joel Corry etc etc school of producer + singer + sometimes more singers, producers and rappers who put out songs that all sound basically the same with choruses that are just a load of filler words like “na na na na na” and “dee dee da da” so they sound like the demo that hasn’t had lyrics added yet - white girl pop singers who do that lisping over-enunciation that makes them sound like they have a bad cold all the time - white man pop singers whose whole thing is that they look scruffy and are fun lads and then they sing really boring big ballads - the way that all the British pop singers I hear on Radio 1 present themselves as proper down-to-earth working-class normal girls but then they mention that they went to a prestigious music school and you find out that their parents are rich - globalisation and listicle journalism flooding us with articles about 90s/00s music and culture written from an American perspective, so BBC Radio 1′s throwback slot is full of American RnB and hip hop tracks that weren’t big hits here at the time, rather than accepting that our charts were actually filled with cheesy pop groups like Steps and Westlife and B*Witched who they’d never dare to play - the way that the singles chart is static now, with barely any new entries in a week, very little movement and the same person at number one for weeks or months on end - insta reels/tiktoks that are 5 seconds or less and flick through a load of images too fast for you to actually process them so you have to listen to that few seconds of music on loop - artists charging £500 to be at the front of their gigs!! Especially if they try to maintain their humble working-class image while they do it - all the biggest female stars making music videos that are essentially pornography, cavorting in bed together in lingerie or erotic dancing, while all the biggest male stars make music videos where they get to just stand around in thick coats - the phoned-in, fauxspirational “you’ve been through so much and things will get better” lyrics from the ‘authentic’ pop stars - BTS being hugely popular even though their music sounds really dated, like JT/Pharrell stuff from at least 5 years ago, and I can only assume it’s a teen girl fetishisation of the young Korean boys so they can be ~not like other girls~ I feel like I’m not done but here’s some things I do like to balance it out: - everything about Maneskin! A group of androgynous kids in fetish gear who play in a traditional rock band structure, who not only won Eurovision singing in Italian but also managed to win over the world? They had 2 songs in the UK top 10 all summer which feels like the biggest post-Eurovision success since at least ABBA and I hope they get to enjoy a similarly long career - Machine Gun Kelly having a dispute with Slipknot, a genius PR move since everybody knows Corey Taylor can’t keep his mouth shut and the rock press will write a load of headlines any time he speaks (see: the response to Kanye West calling himself the world’s greatest rockstar). Does his sudden move into pop punk seem disingenuous? I don’t know. I don’t really care because I like the songs. - Actually the whole MGK/Megan/Travis/Kourtney foursome, I’m obsessed with it, they are living a hot rich True Romance fantasy and I love to see it - Olivia Rodrigo! I bought a cassette of her album and I think she’s really good. - Lil Nas X breaking boundaries with his music, videos and marketing - Female rap artists like Doja, Cardi and Megan being the ones getting played on the radio and featured on pop songs instead of the same male rappers as always. Despite the music video double standard, they’re so much more entertaining and I like when female singers feature female rappers rather than call a man in to drop a verse. - Ariana Grande, as a singer, a fashion icon, an interviewee, an impressionist... the way she dealt with what happened in Manchester was so brave and she’s been one of my favourites since I first heard her - The way pop punk/rock has come back into the mainstream but it’s coming from unlikely people like the above who are ex-Disney stars, Eurovision winners, rappers, celebrity kids, girls and POC rather than just young men who sexually abuse their teenage girl fans - Talk About by Rain Radio & Craig Gorman which is one of those rare dance tunes that comes around every few years that I get obsessed with - for some reason I’ve grown to like ArrDee even though he gives me massssssive local chav following you on his bike, harassing goth kids at the skatepark, wolf-whistling at girls energy - my last.fm top songs all summer has been almost entirely 2021 mainstream releases when usually it’s been some combination of vintage indie/pop and the same punk/emo bands I’ve been listening to since high school

Top 10 Most Underrated K-pop Songs of 2020 (Idol Edition)

2020 was shit. But oh boy, at least the music was good.

And it took us a good while to decide on these lists.

Continuing with the K-Pop Timeout Tradition (see 2019 Ver) of listing the Top 10 Most Underrated K-Pop Songs because all the other sites are just bothered with the Top 10 that pretty much everyone will have heard of/have fan wars over, below are our top 10 picks of songs that did not rank high but deserves your attention!

Like last year we have a separate post for Top 10 underrated non-idol tracks in 2020 and a list for the Top 10 K-Dramas in 2020 in our opinion, which will drop in the coming days.

Some of the artists have escaped the list in recent years to stardom (like N.FLYING, SF9 and OH MY GIRL), so hopefully, it happens again!

This is in alphabetic order NOT in the order of awesomeness because all of them are awesome. Also, all MVs are linked in the song titles because Tumblr won’t let me share that many videos in one post.

APRIL “LALALILALA”

APRIL is a very well-rounded girl group but their talents have been squandered by DSP’s mismanagement in recent years. With DSP seeming to try again and with member Naeun’s meteoric rise thanks to acting in webdrama hit “A-TEEN” and the internationally loved K-Drama “Extraordinary You”, “LALALILALA” seemed like the song to finally give APRIL the awards they deserve. Except it did not, which is an absolute shame because “LALALILALA” is easily one of the strongest girl group tracks this year. The futuristic synths and snappy drum instrumental made for a delightful pop track and reminded us of DSP’s heydays of churning out similarly pristine and impactful tracks for KARA and Rainbow. If you were a fan of past DSP girl group bops like KARA’s “Pandora” and "STEP”, this is the song for you!

Cherry Bullet “Hands Up”

Whoever thought of putting “Beethoven” and “girl crush concept” together should get a raise at FNC Entertainment because it worked. Sampling Beethoven’s famous piece “Für Elise” in different parts of the instrumental using different instruments ranging from synths to different keyboards, the producer was able to provide rookie girl group Cherry Bullet with a hip-hop heavy girl crush banger that is catchy and fun. Also, it is clear the girls of Cherry Bullet really enjoy this song, exuding confidence and charm in the choreography and overall performance. After a few listens, you would be nodding to this addictive song and body rolling to the chorus. If you are a fan of girl crush songs, you have to listen to “Hands Up!”

Cignature “ASSA”

Honestly, we are annoyed with C9 Entertainment scrapping the highly talented girl group Good Day after merely one song and their relatively strong run on KBS’ “The UNIT” and re-debuting only some of the girls in Cignature under their sub-label J9. However, we cannot deny that “ASSA” is a powerful track. It is many things at the same time - it covered the quirky girl group demographic with the cute and somewhat bratty sounding introduction where the girls seem to be talking and singing at the same time, then a somewhat mature buildup came out of nowhere with a more raspy and charismatic delivery on the vocals front before an aggressively girl crush drop begins the chorus carried by the members feeling themselves (specifically their hair) with attitude. If you love the quirky sound of fromis_9 and Oh My Girl but also want some OG girl crush energy like 4MINUTE, “ASSA” is your song!

CSVC “No Mercy”

Okay, CSVC is not really an “idol” group in the traditional sense. A project group made up of 4 indie artists (CHEEZE's Dalchong, Stella Jang, Lovey and Park Moonchi), CSVC tries to recreate the 90s girl group sound of legends like S.E.S, Fink.L and Baby VOX and we are here for it. Not only do all four members have the pipes to carry the early K-Pop sound that has heavy RnB influences, they went all out in the song production with the retro reverbs littered throughout the track and new jack-swing inspired intro. The MV was also a love letter to 90s K-Pop girl groups with the intense use of flares, extreme use of lighting, the “futuristic” sets seemingly made of tin-foil and the members all donning all black or all white outfits. If you are a huge fan of 90s K-Pop, CSVC’s “No Mercy” is the song for you!

ELRIS “JACKPOT”

Honestly, we have no idea what the hell HUNUS Entertainment is doing with ELRIS but even with the mismanagement, they continuously give ELRIS great songs and “JACKPOT” is easily one of the best girl group songs of the year. It builds up from silky vocals to strong rap, which is followed by wonderful harmonisation before we dive into a two-part chorus which made use of the members’ strong vocals as well as gave us catchy moments to sing along to. The music video is also a delight, with the girls dancing on a stage built to look like a roulette. The addition of the 2 members also made ELRIS’ already powerful stages even more impactful. We have been hearing rumours of disbandment but we hope it is not true. If you want to listen to the definition of a well-rounded and fun K-pop girl group track, ELRIS’ “JACKPOT” is THAT SONG!

IMFACT “Lie”

IMFACT is truly a strong boy band with great vocals and strong song production skills of their own yet they CONTINUE to be SLEPT on. I mean being managed by Star Empire Entertainment does not help but it is ridiculous how little domestic and international support they have. They have a distinct sound which they continue in “Lie” - electropop infused with K-Pop song structures and a generous use of unique drums patterns. If you love electropop and K-Pop, it is time to stan IMFACT and check out this amazing song!

NATURE “Girls”

Maybe n.CH Entertainment go a boost in Mnet money after taking on the job to manage TOO after Mnet’s “To Be World Klass” show because their budget really went up and it shows in NATURE’s “Girls”. This song is truly a masterpiece. The chorus is like what you would expect of a club banger EDM track but the verses are made up of clean vocals exhibiting anguish and longing over a relatively simple beat and the bridge was orchestral instrumentals mixed with the drumming of a marching band and the loud chants of the girls. The music video is also simple yet haunting. If you like the darker tracks of 9MUSES and RAINBOW like “Sleepless Night” and “Black Swan” but also the electronic sound of Berry Good in “Don’t Believe” days, this is the song for you for you!

ONEWE “End of Spring”

We need more bands making it in mainstream K-Pop and ONEWE’s “End of Spring” gives us another reason why we think so. “End of Spring” is a breath of fresh air in this year of mainly 80s retro dance tracks and hip-hop heavy pop songs in the K-Pop world, as it instead went for a pop rock sound more reminiscent of American pop rock acts like Train in “50 Ways to Say Goodbye” and One Republic in “Counting Stars” but with a dose of the energy in a teen summer party. If you enjoy a fun pop rock song, ONEWE’s “End of Spring” is the song for you!

OnlyOneOf “dOra maar”

OnlyOneOf is a rookie group with a lot of potential given their heavily alternative RnB and overall escape room-esque sound. They had many great songs in 2020 with wonderful music videos but our favourite here at K-Pop Timeout has to be the MV-less “dOra maar”. This laid back and smooth song showcases each member’s unique vocals and sounds more like a top Korean RnB artist experimental collaboration than a K-Pop boy band song. Also, it is always fun to see K-Pop artists take inspiration from art and culture of different countries (the titular Dora Maar is a French photographer and the lover of Pablo Picasso). If you are mostly a Korean RnB fan, OnlyOneOf’s “dORa maar” might be your gateway drug into the idol scene!

Weki Meki “COOL”

Fantagio seems to be a bit unsure about which sound to give Weki Meki, as the group swings between aggressive and catchy girl crush songs to more generic cute summer songs like a pendulum. They should really consider keeping Weki Meki with the sound they found in “COOL” because the girls really carried this supermodel runway power walk song with poise and confidence. While we have seen boy bands dabble in the runway model sound such as IN2IT in “Snapshot”, SF9 in “Now or Never” and KNK in “Sunset”, we have actually rarely seen girl groups going for this expensive sound. Additionally, the music video for this song is powerful, with the scene of the girls facing each other and vogueing in a long dark room being highly memorable. If you love power girl crushes or any of these boy band songs we have mentioned above, you would really like this song!

Special Mentions of Underrated Debuts:

There were many strong debuts this year and I would like to mention 2 underrated rookie groups to look out for in 2021!

Male - E’LAST “Tears of Chaos”

While more and more male groups are debuting with either badass or cute images, E’LAST decided to enter the K-Pop world with a highly orchestral sound. And the boys have the talent and visuals to carry such a dramatic and theatrical concept. Their label E Entertainment, also seems to have every intent to do the most for these boys, as seen in the production quality of their MVs. With these boys already dropping new material right now, you all should keep an eye on them!

FEMALE - woo!ah! “Bad Girl”

With many strong female group debuts this year, you may have missed woo!ah!, from the small label of NV Entertainment. This small company in fact is led by SM China’s former CEO and this person certainly has an eye for talent because woo!ah! is a very balanced 5 member girl group that has a lot of potential to make it big. In fact, the group is beginning to develop an international following, with “Bad Girl” reaching #1 in the Vietnam's biggest music platform, edging out both aespa’s “Black Mamba” and BLACKPINK’s “Lovesick Girls”. They have already followed up with B-Side track promotions so check out these underrated rookies!

Black Entertainment and White Consumption: Past Vs. Present

For centuries now, Black people have been seen as a source of entertainment for white people but are still silenced to this day if they speak out against the way they're treated. Since the very day Africans were stolen from their countries and forced to work for Europeans, they've also been forced to entertain the entire time—whether through music, sports, fighting, or any other creative outlet through which they shine.

The entire global music industry (as well as our entire sports industry) as we know it has been built on the backs of black Americans. It is perplexing, infuriatingly so, that in our current times, black Americans are being shunned, ridiculed, and scolded for speaking up about the way they've been used and abused since they were trafficked here. Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Sam Cooke, and every other black artist that has spoken out against racism in America deserves to be heard and understood.

Black Entertainment in the Past

During slavery, enslaved Africans found many ways to fill what little free time they were afforded. Typically, these ways included singing, dancing, drinking, wrestling, etc. (Lussana, 2010). In some areas and on some plantations, the slave owners would join them, as told by Henry Bibb, a former slave. They would laugh and drink together, play music, and engage in fights. The slave owners watched the men fight each other and gambled on who would win (Bibb, 1849). This may seem like a more positive aspect of slave life, but in fact, it is quite sad that slave owners were able to see slaves as people enough to drink and party with them, but not enough that they deserved freedom. The point is reiterated; Black people are only as valuable to white people as what they can do for them.

This mentality continued well past slavery and was seen quite often in the emerging music industry. For example, Jazz music was made popular by Black artists, but was soon overtaken by white artists and white run record companies. It was monopolized by whites, and Black artists were shut out. As stated by Lynne Seago, “Racism in Chicago during the 1920s changed jazz from a potent and distinctly N***o [outdated term for African Americans] style of music to a diluted by-product of mainstream popular culture.” She goes on to explain that, in typical fashion, Jazz music started as something seen by the white community as “immoral” and referred to it as “whorehouse music” until it became popular among white artists. Only then did they decide that it was an artform, and only then was it considered acceptable music. Seago goes on to say, “While black musicians were stuck playing for a limited, African-American audience, white jazz was becoming increasingly popular across the nation, to the point where there was even a ‘widespread denial in America of the black man's role in the creation and development of [jazz]).’” This is something that continues to happen today. Black culture is continuously robbed and then denied of what it has created once white people pick it up and bring it to the mainstream.

Going over the history of music and its evolution, a common theme is that the Black artist community created a new subgenre of the music they used to make as a way of reclaiming that music for themselves. A few examples of this would be the creation of Soul music as a way to reclaim RnB, Funk as a way to reclaim Rock and Roll, and Hardbop as a way to reclaim Jazz.

Hardbop is a genre similar to Bebop which was another subgenre that’s purpose was to reclaim Jazz. The difference between them, as explained by Walk That Bass (a popular Jazz piano instructor), is that Bebop was a more artistic, abstract form of music with more difficult melodies and faster tempos. It wasn’t made for dancing, and that’s where Hardbop came in. Hardbop had simpler melodies and a more bluesy vibe.

Jack Trudell explains that Hardbop was created as a resistance to segregation, Jim Crow laws, and as a reaction to the popularization of “cool Jazz”. The response to this movement by Jazz critics was harsh and tells an age-old tale of white people feeling attacked and offended that Black people dare speak up about the harsh realities of their existence. A notable white Jazz critic (it can be argued that no white person with views that deny the Black influence on and creation of Jazz music should even be considered a Jazz critic, but I digress) by the name of Martin Williams wrote in his essay titled “The Funky-Hard Bop Regression” wrote, “The gradual dominance of the Eastern and then national scene in jazz by the so-called "hard bop" and "funky" school has shocked many commentators and listeners. The movement has been called regressive, self-conscious, monotonous, and even contrived.” This mentality shared by white listeners and artists dates back to the moment that they brought enslaved Africans to America, and it persists to this day—"Black people are meant to provide us with services and nothing more. Anything more than that is hostile, regressive, and made-up.”

Black Entertainment in the Present

As we fast forward to the 1980s and present day, we still see the same patterns of Black suffering and White fragility. Hip hop was created as a resistance movement against police brutality and white supremacy in the urban setting. It was an exclusively Black (and some would argue Latino) movement, and it was demonized by white people until it became popular in the 80s. Rap/Hip hop were seen as violent and misogynistic, and the Black adolescents and artists that engaged with it were often victims of severe institutionalized racism. As explained by Rachel Sullivan, they were given less opportunities to record under contract, and even less opportunities to go on concert tours because the insurance companies would not insure their concerts due to the belief that the artists and fans were violent.

This mentality would be cemented even more by the white politicians of the time publicly shaming and demonizing Black artists. For example, then Vice President Dan Quayle went after Tupac Shakur (and did not bother to pronounce his name correctly) for “promoting violence”, while the President George H.W. Bush went after Ice-T for his song “Cop Killer”. The irony of these statements was that 1) neither of these politicians had listened to the albums in question, and 2) Ice T’s song was a collaboration with a punk group named Body Count.

But, as we have always seen, once Rap and Hip hop became popular, it was taken over by white audiences. White youths outside of inner cities began to pick it up as fans; however, the rap that discussed racism and the struggle of being Black in America was not popular among these white fans. This marks the start of the decline in popularity for political Rap and Hip hop.

Skip forward to present day, and political Rap and Hip hop have made significant comebacks because of the severe civil unrest we are facing due to the unlawful and unjust deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, George Floyd, Eric Garner, and too many others. The civil rights movement we are experiencing currently is the largest in the history of the U.S., and still, there are white critics who continue to demonize Black artists who speak out against white supremacy and police brutality, while simultaneously enjoying the fruits of the artists’ labor.

One of the most startling examples of this is white people’s love-hate relationship with Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z. They have been outspoken since the shooting of Trayvon Martin, which was the start of our current civil unrest. Trayvon’s death made national news because of the obvious racial motivation behind it. He was shot while walking home from the convenience store by a more affluent Latino man who claimed that Trayvon was acting suspiciously and may have had a weapon. In reality, Trayvon had nothing more than a hoodie, a packet of Skittles, an Arizona tea, and black skin. This shooting brought the conversation of anti-black racism back into the mainstream, and Michael Brown’s unlawful shooting incited riots over police brutality. Beyoncé and Jay-Z immediately spoke out against these incidents and condemned police brutality and racism. Jay-Z also produced a docuseries on the shooting of Trayvon, and Beyoncé’s 2013 Superbowl performance was a celebration of Black culture and heritage.

Said performance was met with intense backlash from conservatives, namely white conservatives. Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, called the performance “outrageous”, and “an attack” on police. This sentiment was held by many white Americans, with many threatening to boycott Beyoncé, if she did not “tone down” her public politics. Of course, this only spurred her on to make more music that empowered the Black community, namely Black women.

Historically, white people have always loved to watch Black artists perform and be excellent in their field while silencing them when they spoke on more serious topics. What’s even more upsetting is the simple fact that white people today say the same things and share the same mentality that slave owners in the 1800s did. "Shut up and perform, I'll treat you however which way I want, and you just have to take it.” What’s interesting is that they cannot see how deeply racist such a sentiment is. Interesting also that they will take a businessman's word as gospel when it comes to politics but won't take a black artist’s word when they discuss the racism they still face in their field and in the world.

White people must understand that they do not get to partake in Black culture, do not get to enjoy their craft, if they do not support the Black community as people. Music is largely black-influenced and black-supported, and people do not get to enjoy it if they do not support the people who make it possible.

Critical Analysis #2: At night, I think of you...

Culture is everywhere, and in the never-ending, fast-paced spectrum we call life (or what I’ll call society, only because I recently finished a Philippine Politics and Government class), the spread, the sharing of a variety of different beliefs and practices have been so abundant that a line of encyclopedias wouldn’t be enough to archive them all. This is especially evident in songs that never seem to go out of style; timeless, they seem, songs and other variants of musical culture have embodied the exact influence of other worlds. The West, the East -- they have reached households beyond borders. To further study this, I will use the song “My Boo” by Ghost Town DJs, in relation to the recent Running Man Challenge craze that occurred last year.

I remember the first time I watched a Running Man Challenge, and I thought, “This song seems oddly familiar.” I’m not sure if it was because my mother was into American RnB while I grew up, but the song used ringed a bell, and even I sang along for a bit. However, another thought popped up, and it was regarding the dance used. I didn’t see a relationship between the “running man” and Ghost Town DJs’ one-hit wonder.

“My Boo” is about what anyone would think about when they hear boo, and it has nothing to do with scary monsters or creatures living under children’s beds. It is about someone’s significant other, pertaining to not only sexual connections but also emotional, with a handful of admiration and flirtation. The common interpretation is that a woman admires a man, and she immediately wants to be his girl. It is a song full of flirt that was once a go-to track for house parties and late-night drinking sessions. The music video follows a similar concept -- young and free.

youtube

The song was initially released in 1996, and nearly 20 years later, the song reemerged as background music for a new dance craze, the Running Man Challenge.

youtube

From a song of admiration and affection, it became an object to a viral commodity for a trend that originated in the West. There was no particular reason for the choice of song, according to the two students behind the challenge. It was simply playing, and one of the students started dancing. The lyrics were no taken into consideration, rather it was the beat that formed the trend. You may watch the two students’ interview on how it began below:

youtube

This is how times change and how quickly the evolution occurs with the technology we have. It is not difficult to start a trend, and this also changes narratives in ways that pertain to language and music.

More about Fuse ODG:

Fuse ODG is the urban song Award great Afrobeats Artist of 2012, a Ghanaian-uk primarily based musician who has set the track scene alight! In March 2013, Fuse ODG reached the primary spot in the iTunes international Chart, cementing his reputation as the first Ghanaian musician in records to gain one of these feat.

With over 11 million views on You Tube in 2012 on my own, this year is about to see Fuse ODG rise to new heights. His trendy single ‘Antenna’ feet Wyclef Jean has the complete enterprise buzzing.

Born Richard Abiona, the singer grew up in London however back to Ghana, West Africa at a later stage. This furnished him with the opportunity to soak up the culture, that is now glaring in his track. Fuse describes his sound as ‘lifestyles-converting music pro together with his African roots’ and his intention is to elevate the arena via song.

Fuse ODG is the pioneer of a movement called TINA, which is an acronym for that is New Africa. TINA is a idea which urges Africans within the Motherland and the diaspora to apply their abilties to rebuild their network and display the world the greater beautiful aspect of Africa.

often compared to Akon and k’naan who share similar backgrounds with him, Fuse made history by way of being the first ever uk act to be nominated for a Ghana track Award, receiving nominations in 2012. in addition to being a flexible artist and producer, Fuse’s best joy is giving lower back to the network. through a cellular studio, the Ghana tune award nominee works with young humans helping them to utilise and discover their own artistic dreams.

the usage of his abilties as a manufacturer, Fuse additionally works with ex-offenders and runs a set referred to as ‘escape’. This allows Fuse to nonetheless be part of his developing community. With a build-up of loose track to keep fans at the brink of their seats and waiting for his drawing close album “the buzz”

Fuse ODG’s musical adventure commenced to benefit momentum after a journey to Ghana in 2011.

Ruebx Qube is the epitome of a man who is about his business. Between starting a dance challenge (#likemecomoyochallenge) ON Instagram, focusing on early childhood development and leadership for at-risk youth through his charity, releasing a children’s book series entitled “E.J. & Friends,” and creating his own IOS Emojis, “Hoodmojis,” being a musician and a producer may sound like small fries in comparison. Starting his career as both a ghostwriter and producing for several big artists in both Hip-Hop & EDM, Ruebx Qube, born Eric Neal, organically built a loyal fanbase that has reached worldwide recognition in countries such as, Colombia, Romania, and the UK.

Although Ruebx was living his best life with the release of his highly anticipated music video, “Like Me (Como Yo!)”, tragedy struck when his mother unexpectedly passed away. Calling this time in his career “bittersweet” and “difficult”. “Both losing my mother and releasing music for my fans has been a difficult task. But like everything I’ve been through in my life, I’ve turned my pain into positive vibes.” I recently sat down with Ruebx to talk about musical influences, his dream of working with Jay-Z, IHope4you Inc., and his latest partnership with Publix Supermarkets.

Who were/are your music influences?

Ruebx Qube: I have a wide range of musical influences from Michael Jackson to Jay Z. I’m influenced by Lincoln Park, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and Will.I.Am to name a few. All of these are eclectic influences and are a reflection as to why my name is Ruebx Qube. I have different sides and different colors. I’m complex to figure out. I feel that Michael Jackson was one of the first artists that I’ve heard that always thought outside of the box. He’s the greatest entertainer of all time in my opinion from live shows to crossing genres. Jay Z is a musical influence to me due to his longevity in music and how he adapted with time to still remain relevant today. I admire Lincoln Park as entertainers who pushed their sound and dominated their respective genre without fear or criticism. They crossed over to the hip-hop genre and not only blurred the lines between alternative rock and hip hop but also the racial line as well. Kanye West is a musical historian. I feel that his musical genius stems from that very trait. He samples music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that most of this generation have never heard but were big hits in our grandparents and great-grandparents’ generation. For him to modernize it is part of his genius in my opinion. I think Pharrell Williams is our modern day Quincy Jones. I feel that musically there is nothing he can’t do from singles to movie scores to film. I admire how he uses those platforms to push the culture forward. If there is anyone that I can aspire to be in this industry, it definitely would be him. I feel like Will.I.Am is musically one of the pioneers that helped hip-hop in its international appeal. His music was instrumental in breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for future artists of color to be accepted in the same realm both musically and in the tech industry.

What albums did you grow up listening to, and how did it inspire you to be the artist that you are today?

Ruebx Qube: The first album that I had a chance to listen to on my own, (I know I was too young to listen to it but I grew up in the hood so it was a regular thing), was Bone Thugs -n- Harmony – “The Art of War.” Listening to that album inspired me to not only rap on records but to sing on records as well. That was the first time personally that I heard rappers actually sing and rap on the same record. They were kind of a one-stop shop. They didn’t need any outside features because they had all the elements to create a genius album. That was the biggest influence on me as an artist for sure. The “Blueprint” album was impactful on me for a few reasons. That day was a very weird day for me and other Americans. The album was released on September 11th, the same day as the attack on the Twin Towers. I was in school, of course, but I felt like even though that was one of the worst times in my life, that was also one of the best albums that I’ve heard in my lifetime still today. That was the very moment I became a Jay Z fan when he showed a young kid from the hood how to carry himself and how to move and be accepted in the mainstream market. That was very important to me especially as a black kid that aspired to be a great black man.

What was the first song that you wrote and what was it about?

Ruebx Qube: I’ve written hundreds of songs, but the earliest song that meant the most was a song I wrote called “Still In Love With You.” The reason it was the most important was that it was based on a true story. Any other song before this was mostly freestyle/cipher content. To my knowledge, this was one of the first songs that had true substance. It got the most impact when I released it on the mixtape circuit in my hometown. And it actually is what got the attention from big producers that put me on.

What would be your dream collaboration with any rapper/singer or producer?

Ruebx Qube: I would love to do a record toe-to-toe with Jay Z because he is the GOAT in my eyes. On a collaboration with a singer, I would have to go with the hometown hero Beyonce. But if I wanted to think outside of the box, I’d like to do a record with Adele. As far as any producer outside of myself, I would choose Timbaland. I think he’s one of the most underrated GOATs of all time.

Tell me a little about your latest release, “Like Me (Como Yo!)? Who produced it? What inspired it?

Ruebx Qube: My latest release “Like Me (Como Yo!), was produced by myself, Ruebx Qube. I also wrote and performed the production as well. What inspired it really was Miami living. Miami has been my home for the past 8 years now, and I’ve immersed myself in the Miami culture. So, I felt that for this record I’d give homage to the city that took my career to an international level. Since I moved to Miami, I’ve been exposed not only to the Latin American culture but also the European culture as well. This has allowed me to collaborate with the biggest names in EDM. Through that experience, it brought me around full circle to create this fun tropical vibe record.

You are the founder of IHope4you Inc, an organization focused on early childhood development and leadership for at-risk youth, what was the motivation behind creating this organization?

Ruebx Qube: My motivation in creating IHope4you is because I was one of those kids. I am one of those kids. As a kid, I always wished that I was fortunate enough to have mentors that look like me and understood where I was coming from. Mentors that use their platform to create opportunities that in any other circumstance wouldn’t be there. I feel like empowering those kids can change their direction and give them the tools to succeed.

How does IHope4you define success and are you reaching it?

Ruebx Qube: We define success through our outreach to at-risk youth. We are not in this for any monetary gains or any unnecessary publicity. We literally go into the schools ourselves and reach out to the kids one-on-one with the help from our local school districts. Our outreach is volunteer based. So the more volunteers we can obtain, the more districts we can cover. But we’ve been making great strides considering we are only a year old. We also have great partnerships. Our latest partnership is with Publix Supermarkets. We are in the Florida markets currently and are expanding to the Las Vegas, Southern California, and Houston regions.

Taking time from creating music and founding “IHope4you Inc.”, you released a children’s book series entitled “E.J. & Friends.”, How important do you feel children literacy is to early childhood development?

Ruebx Qube: Like the old saying goes, “Knowledge is Power.” And literacy is the key to knowledge. So creating the book series not only gets the kids interested in reading, but it also allows them to see characters that are relatable to them. With the positive messages and stories, we can also give these kids morals and values that aren’t always taught at home or in schools.

What is the importance of the connections you make? How can you utilize them?

Ruebx Qube: Your network in your net worth. Having connections is great, but in this industry, it’s not about what you can get from those connections. It’s about what you can offer to those connections. You have to be of value to contribute to someone else’s success before wanting assistance to your success. It’s the basic “I scratch your back, you scratch my back” mentality.

What are your thoughts about the music scene today?

Ruebx Qube: I think it’s great. It’s a great opportunity for artists with the evolution of the internet. I feel that as a creative if used right, the internet can be a direct contact with the fans. So, you don’t need a record label to approve release dates or control creative ideas. I feel like we are in a free market. I think that free is the new rich.

What can we expect from Ruebx Qube in 2019?

Ruebx Qube: Musically, I plan to release more records and more vibes from both RnB and Hip-hop, maybe even a few more EDM records. I also have an alternative pop record that I plan to release in 2019 with a special featured artist out of Atlanta.

What advice would you give to a young musician that wants to get into the game?

Ruebx Qube: Master your craft. And just as much as you study the craft of music, study the craft of business as well. In order to prepare yourself for the music industry, being a master of both is key because the music business isn’t always about talent. It’s about the ability to market yourself and to generate income off of that marketing. That’s why reading and literacy is even further important.

IAmMeganambers Exclusive: Ruebx Qube Talks Children Book Series, Loyal Fanbase, and IHope4you Inc. Ruebx Qube is the epitome of a man who is about his business. Between starting a dance challenge (#likemecomoyochallenge) ON Instagram, focusing on early childhood development and leadership for at-risk youth through his charity, releasing a children’s book series entitled “E.J.

‘This is America’ Still Trending

Childish Gambino said that he just wanted to make ‘good music’, referring to his interview with Vogue at Met Gala 2018, but as much he is humbling himself in front of the cameras and not saying too much for the press (since it was the only interview who asked about his new single), we cannot have enough of his new single ‘This is America’. Five days have passed and it’s still ranking high on the trending list and has been the most talked about song, sparking so much insights and controversies. But as much as it is given so much attention today, is it really going to last in our heads or are we going to forget what the song’s true message conveys? Here I talk and unravel what this song is all about, rather than the catchy tune and odd dancing.

Some Observations They say it’s not just a song but it is a surreal experience. You clearly saw the music video (I assume that we all watched it) and there are many symbolism about the song that talks about the black community and black social issues. 1.) First Gunshot The song started with a man who sat down and played on his guitar. This is America started upbeat, like happy choirs on the background singing. Gambino dance oddly with the music and went towards the guitarist and with no warning, Gambino just shot the guy in the head.

The first thing I observed was the transition of the music. How the beginning of the song contrasted in the end of the song, from happy guitar and choir kind of vibe to heavy trap music. When the guy was gunned down and Gambino sang ‘This is America’, all I could think was how scary and accurate it was. Some sees it as the gun violence that is recently happening in different states and how it’s easily forgotten like how Gambino just walked away from the guy he shot. It was also said that the guy was wearing a Cuban Guayabera and playing a Cuban guitar. The guy being masked down is inspired by the inmates in Guantanamo, an American prison for suspected Cuban terrorists, who are heavily tortured and some are penalized with death sentences. While shooting the man, Gambino is said to be posing like Jim Crow, the man who was thought to be a dumb black slave, who was acted by a white actor in the 1830’s. 2.) School Children Dancing Amid of Violence It’s very weird seeing Gambino and kids dancing, trying to be the center of attention as we lose focus of what’s happening around. It took me three times to realize that there was a guy who jumped from the second floor and Death riding his white horse in the background. But it really depends on you what you want to focus on, the catchy dance moves and music or the out of focus massacres and destruction. I think that the school children and Gambino dancing with them is the representation of how much we praise Black talent and culture but we forget the issues that black people have to face.

Also, it’s a way for telling how we are much focused with traditional media and we are more intrigued with celebrities or superstars but when it comes to real social issues, everyone seems to not want to put their focus on it so much and have the tendency to forget about it the next day. 3.) Choir Singing the Gospel of Greed

Remember the 2015 Charleston Church Shooting? Well, if you don’t know or forgot then it’s about nine African-American church choirs who were murdered by White Supremacist, Dylann Roof. That was embodied in the music video and it’s scary to know that it happened in real life. The shooting was supposed to be a stance from the white supremacist to create a race war. I repeat, that shooting happened on 2015, three years ago. That’s not that long ago. 4.) What’s with the Old Cars?

Let’s put Motorsport by Migos as a contrast of ‘This is America’. The Rap Industry or other type of music that loves to rhyme about the greens and the showing off with their new Porsche or Lamborghini. But Gambino; an RnB and Rap Artist, only presented old cars in the music video? I think that it marks a question, are we really fixing our problems as a nation or are we stalling the people, especially the younger minds? My opinion is that we are very likely to brag and show off fancy cars and the bling but when inside, we are actually going backwards. Meaning, that despite how fancy we are to look, the issues that is happening has still no solution, especially the issues of the black community. Wrapping it up Donald Glover can sing, act, dance, make comedy, and direct movies. He is proclaimed by others as a modern renaissance man. With the messages in our heads, I really do hope that people can understand what he and his team who made this song possible are trying to say. It might not be trending for so-or-so months but I think that people will want to embalm Gambino’s music. Read the full article

New Post has been published on ObodoInfo.com

New Post has been published on http://obodoinfo.com/south-african-hiphop-takes-the-crown-defeats-nigerian-hiphop/

South African HipHop Takes The Crown Defeats Nigerian HipHop

Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music is a music genre developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s which consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing.

For more than a decade now, Hip hop started falling out of its true-religion in the sight of commercialism. Rappers started over modifying hip hop for sellability. Legendary rappers Nas, Jay Z and more have all bitterly expressed their dissatisfaction on this matter. This goes as far as Nas releasing a song titled “Hip Hop Is Dead,” featuring Will.I.Am in 2006.

Hip Hop music continued facing hardship in the face of commercial music and by 2009, Auto-Tune became another mighty challenge to the real hip hop world. Jay Z couldn’t contain his disappointments and went on to rant about this in his titled Death of Auto-Tune (D.O.A). He went as far as calling out Lil Wayne, and hating on T-Pain for messing the industry up with Auto-Tune.

NIGERIA VS SOUTH AFRICA

Decades ago, it was Nigerian hip hop over all other African’s hip hop music. The likes of Caliphate, Modenine, Thoroughbred, Trybesmen, Nuff Noize, Str8 Buttah, Gino and more pioneered hip hop in Nigeria and then hip hop was the main thing until not too long, commercial artistes P-Square, Durella, Faze… countless number of them came out with little to no-common-sense making musics and that was the end for hip hop. The domination of senseless music was at its peak that even true RnB music also died along. Hip hop died in USA but wasn’t buried over there… American hip hop heads refused to allow hip hop to be buried while they are still alive. Till date, despite the presence of commercial hip hop, true hip hop still moves market in America unlike Nigeria where it was brought and buried.

Most Nigerian hip hop heads struggled to resurrect hip hop but majority of their fans got married to senseless music. Real hip hop became very offensive music in Nigeria… never welcomed in clubs and in parties. You have to agree with me that you can see through people’s mentality from the kinds of music they are attached to. Hip hop was buried in Nigeria.

Yesterday, M.I who is one of Nigerian’s real hip hop rapper dropped a song shaming Nigerian rappers and asking them to “Fix Up” themselves in the song titled “You rappers should fix up your life” M.I clearly stated that South African hip hop music has murdered Nigerian hip hop.

“None of you rappers is real enough. Once you blow up now you are switching off. That’s why these fans are not feeling y’all. SA are here killing y’all.”

The 36-year-old rapper who is currently the CEO of Chocolate City Music urged fellow Nigerian rappers to fix up their lives because they are “all getting killed by the south”

Listen to the song below

South African Hip Hop Music

Unlike Nigerian hip hop, South African Hip Hop music is currently experiencing the through Resurrection of Hip Hip. It’s like the Life of Jesus Christ. The Birth, The Death and The Resurrection. SA Hip Hop is on the 3rd level. It isn’t the birth nor the death but irrefutably the resurrection of Hip Hop music in the world. AKA, Cassper Nyovest, K.O, Hymphatic Thabs, Proverb iFani, HHP, Khuli Chana, NASTY C Ben Sharpa and more are all making SA hip hop stand out.

Currently, it will be nearly impossible for a Nigerian hip hop act to break Cassper Nyovest’s “Fill Up The Dome” record without the help of popular commercial music artistes.

Below is one of Nigerian hip hop music from Nuff Noize. The song named Street Musik didn’t make it through but it’s just an example of what Nigerian hip hop was like before rappers shamefully started twerking, wiggling their waist and sing-rapping at some point opted for reggae… all for commercialism disguised under versatility.

Nuff Noize – Street Muzik (feat Nace, Ex-O, Psalmurai & Mi-Fliss)
