J: Why are we both in camouflage outfits today?
H: Joining us in the studio -
Jessi and DPR Live -
making an appearance -
hello guys!
J: Hello, nice to meet you!
H: Let's start with your introductions~
J: Hi everyone -
I'm Jessi. Nice to meet you!
L: Hello, its DPR Live.
H: It seems like aside from the guests -
the rest can't really speak Korean.
J: I thought it was only my Korean-speaking skills -
but Live is really good at Korean too.
D: He's really good in English and Korean.
J: Did you grow up in Korea?
L: I grew up in Guam.
J: Anyways ~
J: But being very good in front of the monitor isn't fun.
D: What do you mean it's not fun? -
People who are watching -
J: I know it's fun -
I'm just playing.
H: Now, after listening to hyung -
What are your thoughts on the track -
Do you think it came out well?
J: Yes, I thought it was really good. -
First of all -
the fact that he knew the concept (?) behind 'hyung'
was interesting.
H: So Dumbfoundead only learnt of -
this 'hyung' terminology -
for the first time?
D: No, I knew of it -
since I was younger.
But now in hip hop -
a little 'hyung-flexin' -
to show you're the hyung.
From there -
I tried to put it in a Korean context -
the way you flex 'hyung' -
that kind of feeling.
J: Dumbfoundead -
can't really put his thoughts into words.
He has a lot of confidence -
but he can't speak well.
D: But I really want to do -
a remix of 'hyung' -
with female rappers -
H: There's one right here -
D: Jessi, and also others -
I don't know -
My second album is not decided yet -
H: But there's a lot of featuring artistes for this -
Dok2, Simon Dominic -
and Tiger JK -
how did it all come together?
D: What happened was -
for that track -
was with my longtime friends. -
Tiger JK -
it's been 10 years since we met in LA -
Tiger JK was with me in LA -
and the same -
and Dok2 and Simon Dominic -
we've been friends for a long time too.
J: He did a great job -
because -
Dok2 has his own distinct 'colour' -
and Tiger JK -
to many -
he's like the top 'hyung'
how do you say it -
he's like a legend here.
D: Dok2 is also a hyung's hyung.
J: He's not, yet -
There's so much more to be a 'hyung'.
D: He's a 'top' person.
J: Which is why they call me 'noona' -
D: When did I call you that?
J: I meant others -
H: The featurings are really tight -
but the music video is amazing too.
J: I know right.
[I don't understand this part anybody halp]
D: I've said hyung too many times -
I hate saying the word now. -
But now -
the video was made well -
I originally wanted to make a fun video -
the weird thing is that -
korean fans and rappers, all -
asking me how i do it in a cool manner -
and to show them -
but i don't think that's fun -
it feels fake -
too 'try-hard'. -
When I meet people -
whenever a video comes out -
I want to say I'm not the same person -
in the video.
I am not.
J: When he makes a song -
he really has an artist mindset. -
In the process of making the song -
he thinks of the imagery / picture -
and even adding all the small details. -
Why am I so good at speaking Korean today?
H: Speaking of the artist mindset -
we cannot forget about DPR Live.
D: I'm a fan of his -
DPR Live -
J: I'm a fan of him too -
D: why I invited him as a guest today -
I'm really a fan of his art -
not only his beats or music -
but also his music video -
to his hairstyle too -
J: HAIRSTYLE ??
L: My hairstyle is normal though -
J: Yeah it is -
D: He's really an artist. -
He can switch from one style to another -
you can't tell -
J: Like Live -
in DPR -
there's Scott -
I heard the music from him but -
I had no thoughts at first -
but it was amazing -
that's why I think he's very good.
J: Everyone -
this is what happens usually -
when people come over and -
and say they're a fan -
you say 'name one song' -
and they start to stumble -
[they're just playing out the scene]
[I think they're referring to Mijangwon here]
J: That's why -
L: Even now -
the 'hyung' music video -
I've watch it with my friend -
and he's personally one of favourites in hip hop -
I have so much respect for him -
especially when I was in America -
I looked up the Internet every day -
even when studying -
you're really a top 'hyung'.
First of all -
when the movie came out -
I already have a lot of respect for him but -
comfortably making a music video fun -
it's very intriguing to me. -
My friends, and crew too -
are all fans of him -
H: So you have more respect for him -
L: That's why -
J: But how many songs do you know?
L: First of all -
I've watched all his rap battles -
back then -
I've watched it all -
and whenever a new album came out -
I listen to all of it -
D: Back then -
when I first came -
they gave a first listen to the music. -
After hearing it once -
the next day -
we decided to work together -
because it was so good -
that's what happened.
H: The both of you are really great artistes -
making good music -
but this time the music video got rated.
D: What's that?
D: Ah, I don't know why it's rated -
J: Is there any sexy things -
D: No, none of that -
H: Nothing like that -
D: We only had drag queens in the video -
but -
D: The concept was -
the reason behind the drag queens -
to show drag queens as 'hyung' -
was an interesting concept. -
But -
why it was rated 19 and up -
I have no idea. -
D: But if you try to listen to it,
it can be heard as 'hyung-shi'.
H: To continue on -
we will listen to the second track -
and since we are running out of time -
let's proceed with track three right away -
'History of Violence' and -
'Upgrade [2.0]'.
J: Don't zoom in too much -
he's embarrassed -
zoom in to me instead -
I get it now -
when you see it -
Don't do it -
You really swear a lot -
way more than me -
The song's really good -
Chancellor -
D: Is our microphones on?
H: No, not now -
J: The microphone is cut off now?
J: What's this?
[lol she wanted to swear]
D: The producer is BRLLNT -
a Korean producer -
and DJ -
putedeluxe crew.
H: We listened to the second and third track -
Can you simply summarise your songs -
since it's mostly in English -
people might not understand -
D: For 'History of Violence' -
In America -
no, not only there -
everywhere in the world -
it's a little like -
we live in a violent world -
There's a lot of violence in our world now -
That's why I wanted to say something -
at this time -
people who make music or artistes alike -
to spread a message to others -
it's the most important time right now.
That was my contribution in a sense.
H: If you say it like that -
J: I don't understand a word you're saying.
D: Help me translate -
J: When you speak in Korean -
I can hardly understand you.
[they're just trying to translate]
[it's about the same]
[but just different phrasing lol]
H: So that's the message you want to put across -
that the world is one.
J: The time now -
yes -
[I can't with that abrupt end haha]
H: Earlier on -
you mentioned it was your favourite track-
can he speak Korean?
J: He cant -
That oppa (Phrogress) is good -
This oppa (Kev) is Japanese -
P: Half-half -
K: A little bit -
I can't speak in Korean -
[this was cute lol]
J: He's not a Korean -
H: [translating whatever Kev is saying]
J: Because he's from there too -
that's why -
he is able to symphatise more / relate to it.
D: Now -
When I listen to songs -
I'm a fan of turnup music -
I like all of it -
but -
I would like for more balance.
[I don't understand what he's saying either, Jessi]
H: You like it to fun but -
there has to be a message -
D: Yes, because -
the turnup songs i (and others) like -
there's no balance -
why won't they know what's balance -
Koreans usually buy New Balance -
[LOLLL]
how can they not know -
but -
I -
[he gave up hahahah]
J: Because there's a lot of meanings behind the song -
it's difficult to sum it simply -
but anyways -
it has a very good -
message behind it -
And this oppa has a lot of -
turnup and fun elements -
a lot of those kind -
what was it again?
D: I like to have balance -
because at this time -
it's the most important time -
to deliver this kind of message.
J: No, that's correct, really -
there's too many -
anyways -
H: Then, we'll talk about the track.
Upgrade 2.0.
D: Yes, Update.
D: The name -
why it's Update -
[I'm basically laughing with Jessi at this point]
[Dumb was so confident his track title was Update 2.0]
[He wouldn't let it go]
[I crai]
H: So what kind of -
[He finally realised thank god]
D: But the title of the track don't matter -
the message is more important -
H: The name of the third track is called Upgrade [2.0] -
but Dumbfoundead thought otherwise -
D: Upgrade is like -
when we -
whether man or woman -
when we have a car -
we want to have good quality -
[he likened upgrade to upgrading cars - I assume]
H: You added your family in for this track -
D: Yes, you can hear my family in it -
I was thinking about it -
my mother would say these words -
that's how the idea came out -
I got my mom to say those words in voice mail -
J: But it was a really good addition -
D: My mom's voice -
J: It's so touching -
D: But usually -
my mom is cute over voicemail or voice messages -
Yeah, she has a lot of aegyo -
When she's at Korean markets -
picking out samples -
my fans who saw my music video -
fans who see her -
they would ask for a picture -
'can we take a picture together' -
and my mom would be like -
'yeah sure, let's take a pic' -
that happens a lot -
hi mom -
she's not watching this -
H: DPR Live -
what about your favourite track -
L: For me -
first of all -
tbh, the first track
in my opinion, is very -
H: You mean 'Hyung' -
L: Yes -
each rapper has their own 'colour' -
I'm a fan of them -
it was so interesting to me -
and also -
the ending -
I really like it -
L: But really -
those two create really good songs -
the hook and melody too -
gives off a good vibe -
it wasn't too vastly different -
the first and the fifth (?) -
to me -
I think about it a lot -
D: I think that -
the older musicians and artistes -
I get more -
inspiration from them
they're more experienced than me -
J: The older ones keep developing themselves -
D: No, not develop -
[Jessi laughing at Dumb's Korean :')]
D: In terms of rules -
they don't think about it much -
there's no rules -
'let's do it this way or that way' -
there's no such thing -
When I get older -
I want to think that way -
J: Yes, like that -
D: Whoever's music is good -
or this 'colour' -
these kind of things -
they don't care about it -
My Korean language skills isn't good -
and I think about it a lot -
I just want to say it out -
but sometimes I get embarrassed -
and think I should be careful -
I don't want to be like that -
that's why -
[I swear I laugh too much at all the abrupt endings]
H: Could you give some good advice to DPR Live as a present -
L: I really like it as it is already -
D: But really, if you say it -
his music -
if you hear it -
there's a lot of thrilling sections -
like this or that -
that kind of, yeah -
[AGAIN WITH THE ABRUPT ENDING HAHAHAHA]
D: When I start it -
and I get excited -
L: But I understand his feelings -
what he's trying to say -
J: But -
in my opinion -
it's my honest feelings -
Dumbfoundead originally started with -
battle rapping -
in America -
it's really popular with the people -
but -
what I think is -
freestyle and making a song is very different -
up till now -
he's very good -
that's what I think -
J: Yes, but it's totally different things -
D: I started with battles but -
what (?) you're gonna get is more important -
[I don't know]
[I feel you Jessi]
[I really can't understand this part, somebody halp]
P: A few days ago -
you went to Hongdae and did a cypher -
H: Ahh, the one you told people on the timing -
and told people to come by -
D: Yes, I updated my SNS -
telling people to come and rap together -
and the time -
P: But -
He released a lot of albums -
so many Koreans know of him -
but this guy, as an artiste -
he just called out anyone to freestyle -
H: Yes, that's why I'm really a fan of his -
he doesn't care about who it is -
that's why -
I thought it was good that he did it here -
back then, Live came too -
L: I just wanted to meet people -
and listen to new people -
that's what I wanted -
H: You're really Dumb HYUNG -
H: So first,
the following tracks, namely
and 'Send Me to War'
we'll listen to these tracks now -
J: I really can't do it but -
apparently I'm good.
J: G. Soul -
in a song -
it's unbelievable -
[G. Soul, I love your voice]
J: You're god-like -
[Whatever Jessi saying, I totally agree]
[Dumb's in his own world]
now everyone will know you, really -
you're that good -
J: It's because yall need to drink water now -
H: In the chatting room now -
[I can't hear the host well here fam]
D: Really, G. Soul -
me, us -
both of us are his fans -
J: Right -
but that song -
was initially supposed to be with me -
but -
D: At that time -
we were listening to the music together with Jessi -
'this is good, that too'
we were discussing about it together -
J: But the most important thing is -
we're really thankful to G. Soul -
he was preparing his album -
and Dumbfoundead was his close friend -
and for us, it would be great to have him in the song -
G. Soul is a very, very good friend -
it had to follow the perfect timing -
and it was finished -
anyways, G. Soul is the best!
BAK!
and then -
'Water'
J: A bit crazy -
but -
you need to have this a bit to rap -
[I DIED]
J: JL, I like him the most -
J: I can hear him so well -
J: Far East Movement produced this for his album -
but Dumbfoundead don't normally do this style now -
D: Usually -
Far East Movement -
don't normally do music that is not 'big' -
all of them are 'big'-
meaning sounds that are big -
J: Please speak in Korean -
J: Those songs normally come out good -
but for this song -
that's what I wanted to say earlier -
back then, at the studio -
it was the most difficult song to make -
he usually comes up with raps easily -
and it's fun while doing it but-
this song, really -
i'm not lying -
this song took 12 hours -
no, no, no -
L: it's really fast -
D: 12 hours.... isn't that a little fast?
L: A little bit -
J: Not 12 hours -
but 12 months [I think] -
12 hours is not possible -
P: Even back in LA -
J: And the song changed again -
And then, one day he said he's not doing it -
he threw his earphones -
and didn't want to hear it. -
He hated his own song -
and he said he can't do it -
but now, look. -
Listen to my 'theory' -
He was doubting his own stuff -
'oh, this is not going to work' -
it's weird -
but they did a great job.
H: So what made it so difficult -
J: Cause I was a bad bish~
D: Why the production was so epic -
I normally like to have space while working -
and a little bit of personal relationships -
I wanted to express seriously through the words -
but it was difficult for me -
H: Now, everyone here has heard the song -
what are the producer's thoughts -
on the track -
and Dumbfounded + Jessi -
how was it?
P: Their efforts -
of countless rewrites and re-recordings -
from what I see -
it all comes out (in the final song).
H: Did you give them a little push?
P: A little -
D: Whatever they say, I listen to them. -
When they say to do something this way -
you just have to follow their words. -
'it will be cool' -
because when we were working on it together -
with Jessi, it became a success -
[he mentioned success slightly different earlier]
J: No, there's much more for it to be a success -
D: We managed to get success -
because we listened to the music a lot -
I listened to it a lot too -
Because the crew try to work things out together -
we were able to come up with something good.
J: It's his first album released in Korea. -
At first, he thought -
it would be good and fun but -
when he finally got to it, -
it was quite a challenge. -
Since it's now in Korean too -
there's a lot to think about -
and he needs to write the lyrics -
that's why -
no matter what -
it's a good effort.
D: We have mutual respect, musically -
When Jessi is singing on her own -
she'll call and get me to look at her stuff -
and ask me 'how do I make it better' -
and I say 'it looks good, maybe this can be reworked'.-
H: Seems like a smooth work process -
D: We listen to each other comfortably. -
If I think a part is not good, -
I'll tell her to take it out -
vice versa.
J: There's one thing I always help him with -
his Korean language skills.
Elsewhere, my command of the language is considered weak -
but over here -
I am the best. -
Why is this happening?
J: I just feel good.
D: She really likes it now.
H: Now, opening the floor to the audience -
to ask any questions to the guests here -
things that they're curious to know -
if there's any, it's the time now.
J: Just ask anything, really -
D: If you're curious, ask away -
J: To Phrogress -
you can ask how he maintains his mustache -
how does he do it.
D: What conditioner does he use?
H: I just remembered something -
back then, my friend -
had a fake mustache on -
J: Go and take a closer look at it -
it will not come off -
J: Is there no one asking?
H: Is there any one question for DPR Live?
D: What are we talking about -
J: At Octagon -
June 1st -
say something -
D: Oh, June 1st -
at Octagon -
there'll be me -
and surprise dongsaengs and hyungs -
who will come out -
as special guests -
H: Will you tell the people watching here -
the names of those coming -
D: I don't know -
J: We're a little busy -
D: If we have the time -
L: They have to come to know -
D: If you have time, come on over -
hyung will buy the food -
J: Forreal?
D: I'll buy for you.
L: I'll definitely be there.
D: It will be a fun time, so come over.
P: 'Big' hyungs are gonna be there too.
D: Loopy, Nafla, JUSTHIS -
will perform at the show together -
many of my DJ friends are coming too -
I have my DJ from LA too. -
It will be really fun.
J: Just like me,
why I asked this -
when I first came to Korea -
I couldn't adapt to the culture.
But after 10 years -
after trying many times -
trying to enter but can't -
that's why I understand his struggles. -
When he first came -
he was really happy -
'wow its Korea'
but it's very difficult
the way you speak and the culture -
he was not familiar with it.
D: I think it's about the same.
No, no -
I'm just joking -
No, no, no -
Having one close friend really (helps) -
I was actually stressed out -
it's not that I don't like Korea -
it's all good but -
it wasn't like this before. -
And when I first came here -
there's a lot of press interviews and -
this kind of thing too -
H: So she really took good care of you ~
D: Yes, like a mom -
J: The weird thing is -
when I meet people -
they tell me not to do this or say that -
but he's there next to me, swearing.
D: She's just like a mom -
If it's raining, she will pass an umbrella -
J: Oppa, be careful -
you can still do it -
J: People have to know the bad things too -
D: But there's no bad stuff -
There's no bad stuff for you -
I'm really grateful -
but having a close friend -
like Jessi -
there's a lot in the team -
I'm thankful for all of them -
H: These guys here (FM) -
when you came to Korea -
did you get to meet a lot of people?
D: We met in December -
from then on, we got close -
we're like family -
we will call each other whenever -
and meet up -
FM are really hyungs -
P: Us, at this time -
Korean language is hard -
it's the first time -
J: But for me -
really -
Transparent Agency -
their company -
Prohgress and Kev Nish -
it's a relief, having met them -
because -
of course, before this -
we were big fans but -
the kind of control that they have -
they're so good at making music is really -
smart business mind too -
they're so smart about it -
I envy them when I see it -
they're so talented -
business is also good -
D: but, but -
FM already knew me back when I was 25 -
H: That's really a long time ago -
P: Back in our neighbourhood -
when we did freestyle with him -
back then, we already know he's good.
H: So you guys met for the first time when you did freestyle -
D: Back then, I was a genius -
I wasn't a joke.
In my neighbourhood -
when people saw me -
they thought I was a genius.
