CL just released this song about 24 hours ago and the YouTube video already has well over 1 million hits. It totally fucking rocks! It’s an insanely energetic hip hop dance video with all kinds of attitude and NSFW-ness. From a Kpop star, no less!
The song is deliriously catchy; a perfect example of playful menace. The jaw-dropping, head-bopping booty-shaking beat is like ten tons of fun for my ears. I like how the lyrics incorporate rapping, singing and a strong chanted chorus. There could have been 3 or 4 vocalists, but as far as I know it’s just CL adopting various sneers and inflections in the mixed Korean/English vocals that remind me of Trina, Monie Love, Nicki Minaj, Shawna, Khia, Lil Kim, etc.
Soundcloud shows 250,000 plays; no idea how to check how many times it’s been downloaded (1 for mine, tho).
First Psy, now CL? Can she get some traction with Americans with this song and video?
Sounds like a pap smear of generic hip pop drivel. Looks like a gang of preteens raided mommy’s make-up drawer and stole some clothes from the S&M Gap. It will probably be a huge hit.
I actually watched a bit of this out of pure curiosity. Hilarious. Who’s the faux-rapper who named herself using her porn name (Pet + street names)? Iggy Azalea? Kinda like a Korean version of her.
