K-pop

K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop;Hangul: 케이팝; RR: kei-pap) is a musical genre originating in South Korea that is characterized by a wide variety of audiovisual elements. Although it comprises all genres of "popular music" within South Korea, the term is more often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South Korean pop music covering a wide range of styles including dance-pop, pop ballad, electronic, rock, metal,hip-hop music and R&B.

In 1992, modern K-pop was ushered in with the formation of Seo Taiji and Boys, whose successful experimentation with different music styles had sparked a paradigm shift in the music industry of South Korea. As a result, the integration of foreign musical elements has now become a common practice in the K-pop industry.

First gaining popularity in East Asia in the late 1990s, K-pop entered the Japanese music market towards the turn of the 21st century. In the late 2000s, it grew from a musical genre into a subculture among teenagers and young adults of East and Southeast Asia. Currently, the spread of K-pop to other regions of the world, via the Korean Wave, is seen in parts of Latin America,Northeast India,North Africa, the Middle East,Eastern Europe and immigrant enclaves of the Western world.

    Underground Emperor

    by: GP Wu

    [Pop The Brown Hornet]
    Hip hopnotized, don't look surprised
    As I lure you into the world of true lies
    You never witnessed the excellence of pure poetry
    Performed by a Shaolin monk straight out the monastery
    Hittin your cranium like two jugs of helium
    Blowin you up like explosives on a truck
    The outcome is similar to Hiroshima
    As I bounce off the scene like a jet-black Beamer
    Nuthin like the rush I receive from killin MCs
    Enemies better freeze before I squeeze
    It's life or death wrapped up in a single breath
    Electrifyin, watchin MCs careers dyin
    Gettin struck with the accuracy of a sniper
    No doubt, the sight of blood gets me hyper
    Ready to run up in your area
    With a silencer *wsh-wsh* die muthafucker
    Yeah, wassup now boy, all you can take, you can't take no more
    Next up is the Down Low Recka
    [Down Low Recka]
    In your circumference, quick fast you never saw me comin
    Like that gun I'm stunnin, makin niggas run and
    The shocker, I cause electrical sparks
    Like a flashin light in the dark in the thunderstorm at night
    The bark is equivalent to the bite
    So test the teeth, nigga feel the grief
    Bloodthirsty, observe as I rehearse thee murder plan
    White man can't kill like my pen
    I'll be damned if I let these niggas approach me
    On the East side where my coast be, look closely
    Before I snap my fingers and transform to smoke with the quickness
    No doubt I'm sick with the slickness
    The realness, ten years of dues I can't lose
    Paid up, dyin in this bed that I made up
    So be out before I spit out the venom
    And be my victim so I can live forever in the rhythm
    [Pop The Brown Hornet]
    Bow down to the underground emperor
    Once you enter the circle you find me in the center
    Of definite laced with pure entertainment
    Bangin your brain like uncut cocaine
    Movin like the theif in the night when I strike
    It's like equivalent to a killer shark's bite
    No remorse if a life is lost
    If you're playin the game that's the price it cost
    It could be deadly fuckin with a Shaolin machette
    Walk poundin heavy plus your palms is all sweaty
    You're up against a terror
    I think it's best you better get your act together
    Your style's phony like pleather
    Full trait to di-tect hard rock frauds
    My blows penetrate deeper than Shaolin swords
    Not many can withstand the impact of a rap act
    Hittin harder than a rape victim's flashback
    [Down Low Recka]
    Once you die, your grave I'ma put you in it
    Now take a number and I'll be with you in a minute
    Look at the hunter and catch me if you can, I'm here
    Right in your area, scarin up your atmosphere
    I'm out to get you for not knowin the issue
    I'm throwin fullstyle rep, I plan to hit you like a homing missile
    Don't run for cover, don't waste my time
