Two days ago, rapper Simba Zawadi released the track ‘불꽃’ (lit.: flame/s) via SoundCloud which seems to be a diss track about Owen Ovadoz.

“appropriation” “imitation” vs. “integration” “fusion” vs. “original” “unique”
What can be classified as Korean hip-hop? Why can’t it be recognized as an individual genre? (e.g. Google keeps listing like every Korean music genre/artist as “k-pop”…???) The nature of korean hip-hop is something I think about too.
It frustrates me when artists who have a good thing going on have their success measured by recognition in America. Justifying this by saying it’s because: a) to be global stars = to be an American star; or b) America has better opportunities and resources for aritsts is problematic. There may be some statistical truth to back this up but the issue here is that it reinforces a “West is best” mentality — that success in Asia is subpar/not enough; that America and the Western world have the authority to decide who is/is not successful. It makes me sad to see artists who “mimic” or “sell out” beause they fall into this.
This discussion is something I find very interesting. Being a fan of international music really inspired me to pursue anthropological/cultural studies in university. I do find it difficult to actually debate and explore this topic with others because netizens are quick to judge and defend :/
there’s a documentary about soul music’s arrival and integration into Korean music called “Seoul Music” with Gallant and Lee Hi (I haven’t watched it yet but it looks very interesting and I will soon !)
maybe it will be relevant to understanding this more hmm
