Not all MCs are the same
Listeners' interest in hip-hop grew once again as a hip-hop survival program that has penetrated deeply into our lives. Gicon Studio also actively reflected the interest of many people and invited two M.C.: One is M.C. Choi Han-yeop (hereafter MC Choi), a third-year professional, and the other is M.C. Lanester Scope (hereafter, Lanester), a third-year rapper.
There are different expressions used by M.C.: Choi Han-yeop is the person who hosts or organizes the ceremony as Master of Ceremony, and Lanester is a rapper as Microphone Checker.
Lannester is a hot rookie who is strengthening her position in the scene by working with singer JK Kim Dong-wook and releasing albums. It is said that they took this opportunity to wrap English rap lyrics in Korean with the help of a translator.
I will reveal to you the scene that was fun at the time.
Other than that, along with Lannester's rap demonstration, I took this opportunity to share all my questions about why rappers use English a lot when writing lyrics, and whether all rappers who speak English are good at English. Please enjoy watching 😊
Q. Please introduce yourself.
MC Choi: Hello! I'm Choi Han-yeop, who will ask questions and perform rap on your behalf. I don't know much about hip-hop or rap, but I'll try to show off my abilities by asking many questions to rappers as an Oji rapper.
Lanester: Hello, I'm Lannester Sko ↗ F, who works with hip-hop music and band music. A new song will be released on November 3rd through Warner Music Korea, so please stay tuned.
Q. Did you apply for this Show hip-hop survival program?
Lannester: I'm currently working on Elbum, so I'm not applying for a hip-hop program.
Also, I wasn't really interested in audition programs because I was looking for modern and emotional hip-hop rather than skillful rap.
Q. How did you get into rap?
Lannester: My mom used to listen to hip-hop. As a result, I naturally became familiar with rap, and I was most influenced by Dope's older brother, who knew him, and started rapping.
I started releasing an album in earnest three years ago.
Q. What does it mean to be good at rapping?
Lannester: I think when you rap without accompaniment, you should feel the bounce and groove. Also, I think the fact that lime must be in the right place is an important point.
I think a wrap that is unadorned and has a sense of dignity and naturalness without being awkward is a good rap.
Q. How do you write rap lyrics?
Lannester: I think the personal point is that good lyrics come out when looking for naturalness. They didn't make it up by force; good lyrics came out when they proudly showed themselves just the way they are.
Q. Why do you write English lyrics a lot when rapping?
Lannester: The culture of rap and hip-hop originated in the US and reached Korea. As a result, I often used references by borrowing expressions using motifs from American rappers. Also, even though we use a very nice language called Hangul, it's often awkward when it comes to matching rhymes. For example, when it comes to “kyo” lime, there are times when it's as far-fetched as “overpass” or “martyrdom.” In that case, if you use English lyrics, there are a lot of flowing sounds, so it makes up for the hard part. I think that's why they use English lyrics.
Q. What about rappers who don't speak English?
Lannester: Actually, I think it's important to pursue naturalness as it is, because rappers also use translators a lot. If you look for related videos on YouTube, they will appear. And above all, the fortress is also well translated by AI, so I actually translate it and refer to it.
Q. Can I rap with lyrics turned on the translator? (The lyrics are part of Eminem & Rihanna's Love the Way You Lie Part 2 lyrics)
Lannester: Put the English lyrics on the translator and turn them into rap? Hehe, I think the part that catches limes is the hardest part, right?
If I try it, I think it's probably the first time in Korea.

The expressions of the two people who were surprised that the translator's expression was more perfect than expected, and the two people who were surprised that the rap was running better than expected are still vivid.
Check out the video below to check out the unaccompanied wrapping of the two of them who were serious about the lyrics rap, which was powered by a translator!

Everyone, too, can do a storm wrapping with the help of the Gicon Studio translator 😉
I'll add the lyrics.
<Eminem & Rihanna Love the Way You Lie Part 2 Excerpt>
It's Mornin', You Wake, A Sun Ray Hits Your Face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
That you brought me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me
See you in the next post~
