Show Me the Money 5 – HiphopKR Recap (Episode 5)

Check out our exclusive recap of “Show Me the Money 5” Episode 4: Revival (aired on June 10)… Warning: Spoilers ahead!

After the completion of round 3 preliminary auditions (1 vs. 1 battle), the producers reflect on the matches. Producers discuss their disappointment in certain contestants who were dropped from the round:

  • Dok2: Junoflo (“It’s too bad that he was eliminated immediately after he flew to Korea from LA”)
  • Zion.T & Kush: Woo Taewoon (scene cuts to Woo Taewoon asking if there is a revival round)

There is an anticipation (almost an expectation) by contestants that Season 5 will have a revival round for those who were eliminated in round 3.  However, both the producers and MNET staff reiterates that there is no revival rounds this season.

Rapper Shim Hyeji is selected to choose her opponent for the 1 vs. 1 battle.  Initially, she wanted to choose a “powerful” opponent, but changed her mind when she found out about Miss LA who agreed to fly from Los Angeles last minute (due to Legendary TeMo dropping out of the show – see our Episode 3 recap for more information).

ep5-1Producer Simon Dominic asks contestant Shim Hyeji if she had any trouble preparing for this round with Miss LA.  We soon find out that this is the case due to the obvious language barrier between the two.  The two contestants use Dok2’s beat ‘Still On My Way‘ for their battle.  Following the performance, the producers immediately praise Miss LA for her natural performance (Dok2: “What if Miss LA wins first place on Show Me the Money 5?“).  Kush compares this rap battle (American vs. Non-American) with the Korean martial art Tae Kwon-Do (how Koreans are “naturally” better at Tae Kwon-Do)…  Kush further clarifies that Miss LA’s rhythm and power in her verse triumphed the Korean contestant.  Miss LA makes it to the next round.

The next battle is between Donutman and Bray.  Once again, the producer team jokes about Donutman resembling a Wing Chun martial artist (see our Episode 2 recap for more information).  The producers are impressed with Donutman’s effortless and clean performance.  Donutman makes it to the next round.

ep5-2

The third pair featured on this episode was selected by producer The Quiett during round 1 preliminary auditions: Kim Hyo-eun and Kim Tae-jung.  As Kim Hyo-eun spits his verse, the producers complement his unique [deep] voice.  The producers appear to be unimpressed as the second contestant begins his verse with the words “I kill you.”  Producer Gil states that Kim Tae-jung’s diss verse was like “someone pretending to be good at fighting who actually doesn’t know how to fight.”  Rapper Kim Hyo-eun makes it to the next round.

ep5-3

The next segment features two of the most anticipated artists of this season: CJAMM and BewhY.  For the past 2 weeks, MNET strategically edited their clips to deceive the viewers into thinking that the two were paired up for the 1 vs. 1 battle (i.e., one of the artists will be eliminated):

However, we soon find out that CJAMM and BewhY are paired NOT with each other, but with Paek Minhyuk and JDUB.

ep5-4CJAMM notes that he met BewhY back in their first year of high-school (back when BewhY “didn’t even know what rhyme meant”).  CJAMM confidently states that he could beat BewhY in a rap battle.  BewhY mentions that he wants to meet and battle CJAMM during the final rounds of Show Me the Money 5.

You can check out their (uncut, unedited) cypher battles below:

BEWHY vs. JDUB

CJAMM vs. PAEK MINHYUK

Following their performances, the producers continue to state that “[CJAMM and BewhY] are not contestants, but are hiphop artists that are just having fun on the show.”  Zion.T notes that he was impressed with CJAMM’s humorous performance, specifically when he fell on his back (showing that he doesn’t conform to the standards, and that he is so skilled as a rapper that he can perform just as good on his back).  Mad Clown states that BewhY’s performance was “shocking” and was the best verse out of the entire roster of round 3 contestants.  Bewhy and CJAMM makes it to the next round.ep5-5

At this point, there are 21 (out of ~9000 contestants) remaining in the preliminary auditions.  This episode focuses on the producer performances by the following teams:

  • Team 1LLIONAIRE (Dok2 & The Quiett)
  • Team AOMG (Simon Dominic & GRAY)
  • Team YG (Zion.T & Kush)
  • Team ??? (Gil, Mad Clown)

Following these performances, the contestants can place their vote and rank the performances (from best to worst).  To put it simply, the contestants become the judges and the producers become the contestants.ep5-6

During the rehearsals, The Quiett and Dok2 commends Team AOMG for their preparation for their performance (notably the Simon Dominic cash).

The Quiett mentions that they didn’t prepare anything special for the show and that they will perform as they always have been in the past.  Dok2 states, “the contestants can join our team if they like our rap.”  The only special equipment the duo brings to the stage is their signature white microphone that they use during their performances:

On the other hand, Team GIL and Mad Clown are nervous about their stage performance.  Gil states that he is envious of Team Illionaire: “They’ve always performed together.  This will be the first time Mad Clown and I will be on stage as a duo.”  The rehearsal shows that they invited Heize [and later on, Jung-in] to join their performance.    The Quiett adds that “Mad Clown is a huge fan of LEESSANG (Gil’s hip-hop group). The “clown” in Mad Clown stems from the LEESSANG track ‘광대 (CLOWN)’:

Zion.T mentions that Gil and Mad Clown’s performance is a medley of hit tracks.  In contrast, Team YG will be performing a series of unreleased, brand new songs.  The duo invites fellow YG member and previous Show Me the Money contestant MINO as a featured artist.

Check out their FULL and UNCUT performances:

Simon Dominic & GRAY:

Gil & Mad Clown:

Following the producer stage performances, the contestants meet back at the headquarters to continue the program.  They are told that, unlike the previous seasons, the team selection process is completely different: both the contestant and producer(s) must select each other (i.e., stand behind the door) in order to be “matched” as a team. If the two parties do not match, the contestant will not be able to join the producer team.

ep5-9 final

Before the team selection process, the producer teams are shown the results for their performance:

  1. Zion.T and Kush (9 out of 21 votes) (=10 chances)
  2. Gil and Mad Clown (6 votes) (=8 chances)
  3. Dok2 and The Quiett (4 votes) (=6 chances)
  4. Simon Dominic and GRAY (2 votes) (=4 chances)

Intro: Gray)
Gray

Hook)
I be like, hold up wait a minute girl
Where you goin’? Sorry for staring so much
but you’re so sexy
that I can’t take my eyes off you, god damn

I want to see your bo-bo-body((To be exact, ‘몸매’ (mom-mae) refers to the figure/form/shape/line of a body but for simplicity I just translated it as ‘body’ here))
bo-bo-body, bo-bo-body, yeah
Your bo-bo-body, bo-bo-body
Oh yeah let me see, let me see (Alright!)

Verse 1: Crush)
It’s been a while my babies, on the dancefloor
Move your ass to the beat, completely blow up
I let you know with a gaze and drag you into a corner
What on earth do [other] men find so disgusting?

Ha, I put away my cell phone
We take pics when we’re alone, oh you know how we do it
Even though we film a porn movie all night, tomorrow is important for me
When you open your eyes, I left you alone

Your skinny legs, a skin that hasn’t been touched by knives((= no plastic surgery))
Your body line is total Ms. America shit
I’ll sing with Jaebeom-hyung, give it to me
I’ve always flirted a f*cking lot with women, ha

Climb: Crush)
They ain’t f*cking wit us (oh no)
Oh ah, they ain’t f*cking wit us
It’s been two years, this is Gray on the beat
I’ll say it again, VV:D, yeah I do it for my team, whut

Hook)

Verse 2: Honey Cocaine)
Ten shots of the soju
Bet I got that white girl like tofu
Two bumps got her feeling like Goku
New pumps on my feet when I roll through

I thought I told you going broke is what we won’t do
Young honey in her prime like Lee Wan Koo
So bougie pull up with the neon roof
like her man trying to holler cause your peon loose

I got b*tches in the kitchen and they dustin’ it up
100 mill wons ain’t nothing to us
My whole team got bs and they buzzin’ to us
They ain’t f*ckin’ with us b*tch

Climb)
They ain’t f*cking with us (oh no)
Ahh nah they ain’t f*ckin with us
This ain’t DJ Mustard, this is Gray on the beats
B*tch it’s AOMG we do it properly, leggo

Hook)

Verse 3: Simon Dominic)
I exude my scent any place I go, chick chick
You’re wearing cat make-up, the moment you see me you take a photo
Slow down, you’re a bit too young for me to leave with you
but I gotta scold you because your ass treated me like a child

Errday my sexercise
My diet coach today is you, oh man!
You’re like a beast, it seems like you’ve been starving a few years longer than me
You lie on your stomach and plead, your figure is totally bootyful

I personally see your bodystagram, move your p*ssy higher up
You even have the passion to squat on top of me, you’re diligent
Even if your breasts are fake, it’s okay, this is silicon valley
In it, you take my mic and open your mouth again

The end of this night is in your hands, my d*ck so solid
I might gain some weight but it was tasty, honey
Don’t go home, let’s eat and have sex the whole night again
Your body’s figure isn’t everything, you got the bomb ass p*ssy

Bridge)
Put off the thong as well that you’re wearing with your S line
Feel the freedom like UV, a free night
XXX, it’s how we do Y
Cause you’ll be catching Zs, after we’ve made love

Oh shit, if you want me
then follow me to my hotel room
My girl, taste the superstar
with your tongue once, baby

Woo, you so sexy
Woo, you so sexy
You so sexy girl
God damn

Outro)
I want to see your bo-bo-body
bo-bo-body, bo-bo-body, yeah
Your bo-bo-body, bo-bo-body
Oh yeah let me see, let me see that right there

Verse 1: E-Sens)
Before going out I take one look at the mirror
Today I’m absent-minded again
The noisiness of the city woke me up from sleep today
I’ll just go out, I’ve already put up my collar

I’m used to the glittering night
The lights reach from the end of the sky to just above my head
Under the lights that tear through the night
stands a woman, frowning. She is chic, isn’t she

Her style looks elegant
but she seems to have a totally nasty charm beneath
I can’t take my eyes off her, the Apgujeong road behind her
makes her even more flamboyant

People who don’t feel awkward with the early dawn at all
Men and women who are completely spread [around] like a peacock[’s tail].
I’m living with a bit of anxiety but it looks like they aren’t like me

I in comparison have headaches because of my future
I’m also tired, I just wanna be successful
The cars are standing still in line in front of me
[While] The line next to me is just dope ..

Hook x2: Beenzino)
Can I get Ferraris, Louis V, Cartier?
Take a trip to Honolulu, Malibu
Sippin’ Dom Perignon with some model chicks
Laid back in my jacuzzi and smoke a cigar

Verse 2: Simon D)
Gesture to me that it has to be today or never
At the news of them who had been wearing the same nameplate as me((Reference to a class reunion))
I remember supposedly awkward relationships
I choose my clothes, huh, trying to look good

It’s obvious that I made an effort to dress-up
I looked like an adult but now I’ve changed into a child that is putting on airs
I arrived late at the venue out of habit
One after the other greets me with curiosity

“It’s been a long time, have you been well? Is everything going well?”
To those superficial questions I superficiously answer “Well it’s all right”
After a few drinks we make fun of those who are well-off and of those who are not
Then we comfort each other, scold each other and start it all over

At one moment I’m at a loss for words,
when the main topic is the success story of one of the guys
Even though I pretend to be drunk because I started to feel sad,
inside I scream “I just wanna be successful”

Hook x2: Beenzino)

Bridge: Simon D)
I leave my body to this night
and close my wordless mouth
I dream of the stars above my head
and hang my head again

E-Sens)
In this night where today and tomorrow are entangled
I secretly raise my expectations again
and comfort myself on this road where I’m envious of everything, I just wanna be ..
I just wanna be successful

x3)
Take me there
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me

Hook x2: Beenzino)
