Readers' request. Is it sad that I'm noticing that articles about Zico alone get positive responses while the other members/Block B get dragged through hell. Can't win 'em all, I suppose.

Article: What was Zico like on top of the MAMA stage 'Block B leader force' [PhotoEn]
Source: Newsen via Nate
1. [+447, -54] But he really was good..
2. [+421, -53] His voice was covered up a lot by the sound system.. but he managed to fill up the entire stage. It was obviously his first time on a stage like that so I think it's quite amazing what he did. When he performed with Dynamic Duo at the end, his rap was really amazing..
3. [+403, -58] Definitely Zico
4. [+152, -4] Zico's the one that produced their collabo song at the end
5. [+148, -8] LOCO, Double K, and Dynamic Duo are all veterans but Zico managed to hold his ground and fill up the stage. He's a talent, you gotta recognize that.
6. [+146, -5] Okay, admitting that the kid's got talent. It's just sad that his production skills never get any spotlight.
7. [+129, -3] It's a tragedy that he got placed last in a rapper poll. ㅋㅋ What the? Eunhyuk's rap in Mr. Simple was seriously...
8. [+124, -3] Zico's rap was seriously no joke. If only the Block B kids would watch their mouths, they have the potential to be quite the talented group
9. [+121, -4] I honestly didn't expect much when I began watching because I knew he was an idol but he did well. Maybe he was nervous, but his pronunciation was a bit difficult to hear but his ability to stand on the same stage as veterans like that at his age is commendable.
10. [+118, -3] I didn't expect much as well since they introduced him as a 21 year old idol but was pleasantly surprised... I finally knew why people kept saying Zico's got the talent ㅋㅋ This kid, he's gonna be something

/tears/ don't worry we'll win them over ;_; one by one
ReplyDeleteEventually...soon enough...Y U BASH ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS?!?!?
ReplyDeleteA bit OT, but Mama seriously needs to move back to Korea. Not only there's barely any "Asian Music Awards" but rather "Korean Music Awards", the whole moving the location is doing no good. Artists have no time to rehearse and there's a big chance of attracting biased fans. The sound system also sucks majorly, and I don't think it did before they started moving locations.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Zico was really great! I do wish the sound was a lot better, but he really did hold his own. Gaeko owned the stage though, his rap was freaking amazing.

ReplyDeleteeww...whut?............
I love Zico, I really do. If anyone says he's not talented, they're just haters.
ReplyDeleteA lot of netizens felt the same way. People did not understand why a Korean music ceremony had to be held overseas and that it was an embarrassment, especially since mostly Korean artists were awarded anyway.
ReplyDeleteknetizen can write good things too
ReplyDeleteI am really proud of Zico
So proud of this boy, and I'm glad he's getting a bit of the recognition he deserves. Is the comment that he produced their last collab song true?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Eunhyuk won the "Most Charismatic Rapper" poll. And Zico was in last place.
ReplyDeleteyeah it should not be called asian music awards.. they could have at least invited some japanese artists like last year.. maybe namie amuro or something...
ReplyDelete"This kid, he's gonna be something"
ReplyDeleteMy heart is swelling all corny-like, because this is so true c:
This is progress. The fact that they recognize Zico's talent and aren't mindlessly bashing him is progress. Now if only they could do that in regards to the other members and recognize Block B as a whole, then that would make me happy. But I just see this as baby steps. Who knows, this could help bring positive light to Block B.
ReplyDeleteyeah zico yeah^^
ReplyDeleteprogress, fuck yeah!
ReplyDeleteJi Ah Co is the man.. Real HEPHAP that's what it is
ReplyDeleteyes he did produce the song with pop time and nusoul
ReplyDeletelooks like his fans got to the article before the regular netizens...
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Did they tweet about it or was it in another article?
ReplyDeleteThat are they don't know talent when they see it.
ReplyDeletehe really did hold his own with the other veterans.
ReplyDeletetalent is talent, ppl who don't know who he is and are watching for the first time should be able to see that. Same goes to the rest of those on the hip hop special stage; it was just overflowing with raw talent, no overblown theatrics and all the frills, just good old rapping done well with great on-stage chemistry. In terms of actual skill, that stage was one of the best of the night, along with Roy Kim, Adam Lambert and perhaps Wang Leehom.
ReplyDeleteEven antis won't desecrate a Zico article 'cause his talent is just too much for them to hate on.
ReplyDeleteyes, gaeko is boss, really liked double k's performance as well.
ReplyDeleteBlock B needs a group venture to expose them in a positive light. They were starting to get it with their music show performances but then journalists had to to screw it all up with their misconstrued articles.
ReplyDeleteIf only they'd give them the chance to expand more...perhaps on variety or a more prestigious show like Sketchbook or Immortal Song 2, I think that would push them in a more positive direction.
These don't sound like fan comments...just the portion of netizens that put their appreciation of talent above any preconceived notions they may have of him and Block B. It's been like that with every Zico article so far: positive comments praising his talents.
ReplyDelete"8. [+124, -3] Zico's rap was seriously no joke. If only the Block B kids would watch their mouths, they have the potential to be quite the talented group" Can you really say that's a fan's comment?
(I'm supposed to be studying but then Zico happened so I'm back xD)
ReplyDeleteWords cannot express how proud I was when I heard he'd be performing with his role models. While I wasn't too familiar with Dynamic Duo and Double K before, I learned soon enough that they're REALLY well-known rappers in K-Hip Hop and they have seniority so the fact that he was able to perform with his seniors made me SO happy and watching him command the stage with such awesome presence in REAL-TIME was by far the best thing I'll take from MAMAs this year. I'm so happy people are realizing that this kid has a gift and that he's a rapper first, and an idol second, ALWAYS.
I really do hope that the recognition he receives can open more doors for Block B. Antis take one look at the name "Block B" in the title and they desecrate the articles but if Zico can attract positivity WITH Block B in the title, then there's still hope.
Yeah. They rocked the red carpet though. Hopefully their small appearance at MAMA garnered them some positive exposure.
ReplyDeletesome of them are jerk ...
ReplyDeleteI can guarantee you a lot of those comments aren't from fans.
ReplyDeleteIt was the best performance of the night.
ReplyDeleteyea i would agree with that (i would rank roy kim's and adam lambert's performances on the same level); it's rare that authentic rap gets represented properly in award shows like this without being swarmed by rapper-wannabes. Disappointed that ppl don't bother paying attention to this and prefer spazzing over performances that are a greater display of special effects and crowd-hyping than actual skill.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said BEAST started out like that too and now look where they are :D They're definitely moving in the right direction!
ReplyDelete" I give off a veteran's vibe at a blooming young age" - 'LOL' by Zico & Kyung
ReplyDeleteTrue Dat
Zico did his thing and more out there. I was a proud BBC watching him on stage. I just wish for next year the whole group can get on stage or at least Kyung get his fair share in a hip hop performance.
ReplyDeleteThey should go back to their MKMF days
ReplyDeleteYeah b2st performed a big bang song their debut mama show
ReplyDeletethe only performance i can enjoy wholeheartedly. bigbang, epik high, and psy used too much props and effect that when you strip them all, the perf isn't that all. too much "swagg"-ness that they felt cheesy.
ReplyDeleteBLOCK B AND ZICO, this guys are really talented, and their music is good...my new secon favorite group, they will be the next big thing
ReplyDeleteomg i remember that....
ReplyDeleteZico is the best idol rapper
ReplyDeleteyep, they perfomed lies. I remember feeling sorry for hyunseung lol
ReplyDelete"they're just haters" nope, just deaf
ReplyDeleteEunhyuk didn't even have a rap in mr,. simple
ReplyDeleteThat netizen is such a dumbfuck for criticizing something he doesn't know about
Well, at least he gets good press. :3

zico rapping is glorious. damn i want to hate him but i cant. why wont u let me just hate u z.i.c.o
ReplyDeleteYes. I agree with that. Adam Lambert and Roy Kim were amazing. Besides those 3 performances, a lot were lackluster.
ReplyDeleteAww...that must've been hard for him :/ But he's in a relatively good place right now. I just wish they gave him a bit more time to grieve his father's passing. Cube is cold, man.
