[Pann] Why are SM rappers so bad at... rapping?

Pann: SM singers are really bad at rapping

1. [+195, -14] I'd say Amber and Key are the best rappers within SM

2. [+154, -23] There's a song by EXO called 'Two Moons' and I was horrified when SHINee's Key, who is just a feature, was the best rapper on the song.

3. [+152, -79] People bring up Minho's rap all the time but that's 7 years old. SM has always, in general, been bad at rap but it's not like they're connected to the hip hop scene in any way anyway. They don't even pick trainees who specialize in rapping too. Even SM fans admit that they're bad rappers so just let it go.

4. [+53, -6] Yunho's famous rap was done on some variety show to try and be funny and "flaming charisma Minho~" was something Yoo Young Jin wrote for him when he was a super rookie ㅋㅋㅋ Not that they're any better anywhere else but it's unfair to use those raps against them ㅋㅋ It's true that SM doesn't care to pick members who are good at rapping or into hip hop, so I don't know why they insist on having rap parts in all their songs..

5. [+49, -0] I'm an SM fan but I wish SM would stop making their singers rap. I don't know if they're just being greedy or trying to keep up with the trends but all their songs have raps that sound like they were forced to do it. They should just focus on the vocals because it has more potential. Chanyeol works really hard at his rap but I found his singing to be a lot better when I heard him sing at the Dome concert. And yet SM just keeps making him rap..

6. [+42, -1] Chanyeol sounds like he'd be better at singing after hearing 'All of Me', SM should look into him singing instead

7. [+41, -0] Honestly, SM rap just seems like an entire genre of its own

8. [+32, -0] I'm an EXO-L and will admit it ㅋㅋㅋ Chanyeol should really look into singing. It's sad that his low toned voice is being wasted on rapping like that. Sehun needs to practice.. his... singing more... (tears)

9. [+30, -0] SM has a knack for hiding their vocal talents. Chanyeol, Minho, and even Irene are great singers but they hide their talents behind rapping.

10. [+28, -0] I actually liked SHINee's recent song because Minho didn't have a rap part. They should just keep him singing from here on out.

11. [+26, -1] I admit it's true but SM as a company has never been one to really focus on hip hop or rap anyway... which is usually the case with other idol groups who aren't fully hip hop in concept. They'll usually just have a member or two as the rapper and his skills aren't that much better than anyone else.

12. [+26, -0] I'd say Key and Amber are both okay in rap and vocals
