The release of San E’s track ‘모두가 내 발 아래’ [lit. ‘Everyone Is Beneath My Feet’] featuring MC GREE in which he disses B-Free, has set off an avalanche of reactions by other Korean hiphop artists.
Jerry.k who is currently touring Europe was one of the first ones to react. He posted among others:
“Mount Titlis with a height of 3,000 meters. At this height, everyone is #beneathmyfeet #not”
산이의 #hotsummer 디스는 #rapgenius 로 대중음악상을 탔지만 씬 밖에선 아무도 몰라봐주던 2010년의 자기에 대한 디스로 들린다 #내발아래 #아님 Photo posted by Jerry.k (@jerrykmusic) on
“San E’s #hotsummer diss sounds like a diss against himself in 2010 when he won an award at the Korean Music Awards for #rapgenius but still nobody beyond the [Korean hiphop] scene recognized him #beneathmyfeet #not”
“Sleeq has given us these lyrics to use at a time like this #raptight #itsonlyhiphopwhendissing”
For you, who is only hip hop when you diss others, I am probably some kind of a problem
Look straight at me who throws up when hearing your rap
Further on, representatives of AOMG and VV:D have uploaded posts of B-Free’s ‘Hot Summer’ that was produced by Gray. For example, Jay Park:

Illionaire’s Beenzino uploaded among others a video of him driving while jamming to ‘Hot Summer’:
VMC’s Wutan has voiced his opinion in a tweet:
전국민은 니미 그럼 엠씨로는 유재석이 제일 성공했네. 도대체 언제부터 그런게 미덕이고 스웩인거야. 얕은 관점 보소. — WUTAN : VMC (@WUTAN_JP) April 14, 2015
“All of South Korea my ass,((Refers to MC GREE’s line “산이와 GREE는 전 국민이 아네” [All of South Korea know San E and GREE])) then Yoo Jaeseok is the most successful MC.((Punning on the homonyms ‘MC’ where one refers to a TV host and the other to a rapper.)) Since when on earth is something like that ‘commendable’ and ‘swag’? Look at that shallow standpoint.”
Last but not least, our favorite photographer and film team kick&snap has ‘quietly’ uploaded three videos they took of B-Free’s ‘Hot Summer’. Let’s enjoy them together:

Meanwhile, no reaction from B-Free so far, who was busy beating The Quiett at NBA 2K15 last night around the time of the song’s release.
