ZomBeeMusic – Graveyard Shift Mixtape

so this to all the Epik High, Dok2, hip hop fans out there! if you’re into that type of music, then this mixtape will definitely impress you

i’m trying to help a friend out by promoting his album :) if you’re a frequent visitor on the mapthesoul board, you might’ve heard of Daniel Lee. he goes by the name of ZomBeeMusic on TWITTER. so go follow him and help get his music out there ^^

http://zombee.bandcamp.com/

Track listing:

01 Zintro

02 월요일 (Monday)

Monday was recorded while keeping in mind trying to record something that sounded mainstream, but was underground in spirit.

03 Hiphop

Hiphop, the track, was a dedication to those who think it’s a joke genre, or doesn’t think it requires any efforts.

04 Coffee Break

Coffee Break is about mundane office life and how a single coffee break between work can drudge up bottled feelings like a curse.

05 Nice & Easy

Nice & Easy, is a jazz hiphop fusion inspired by k-os.

06 Frantic

Frantic paints life itself as one big tragedy. Not really my style. :/

07 Wordplay (말 장난)

Wordplay is basically puns and word plays strung up together as a song.

08 rorriM

rorriM is about dismissing the world because you no longer see anything but yourself. Another tragic song.

09 Say No Evil feat. 백정 aka Se2lot, Sharodin

Say No Evil is about spreading rumors, lying, delivering biased opinions on media, the internet, and on personal levels.

Upcoming Comebacks

SE7EN is back!!!! YAY!! 4 long years is finally over!

After spending 3-4 years in the US, Se7en is finally making a comeback this spring/summer, according to YG. Note: take YG with a grain of salt but I’m 100% sure Se7en will be making a comeback this year!

I’ve been an avid fan of Se7en for years now and being the fan I am, I actually followed his so called “US debut”. Some of you may call it a failure, but I call it the beginning. It’s been hard not only on the fans, but on Se7en as well. The pressure he’s had, the loneliness (but Park Han Byul visited him for a while), and the constant “fail to attract fans”. When YG signed with RQM, I knew the debut would be a failure and it was just sad seeing Se7en go from a superstar in Korea to a nobody and someone who people hated, because they had no patience to his see his achievements. You don’t turn into a superstar in one day, especially in the US market, which is the hardest to break into!

For his upcoming comeback, I hope to see an even better Se7en, a new side of Se7en, some crazy music, some crazy dance moves by Shaun & Aimee ^^ and an album that is better than the already awesome ones he’s had! Oh..and maybe a Wahjoh Part 3 (aka Come Back to Me Pt. 3)! I also hope he includes the songs he had “unofficially” released for his US debut…aka Money Can’t Buy Me Love, Scandalous, You’ve Got Me & La La La English version!!

______________________________________________________________________________________

Rain is also set to make a comeback this April!

Rain also failed to make a boom in the US music industry but, he did kinda make his name in Hollywood, despite low ratings in the movies he’s starred in (Speed Racer & Ninja Assassin). Honestly, I wasn’t quite a fan of his but, I did like some of his songs and the I’m Coming album!

He will be releasing a mini album in April and then a special album in October.

______________________________________________________________________________________

With Sunmi gone and Hyerim in, Wonder Girls are gonna continue on with their international fame. The girls will be releasing a new album in April in the US but will use it to help promote them in Korea, China and the US.

It’s sad to see Sunmi gone, but we all need to move on. It’s still odd to see Hyerim in the group and it feels like something is missing when I don’t see Sunmi with them =(

______________________________________________________________________________________

Epik High will be coming out with a new album on March 9th, titled Epilogue! Don’t take the album title too seriously…it’s not really the end of Epik High…I think it’s more like the end of a chapter in their life and the start of a new one, since DJ Tukutz will be back in 2011 and Tablo’s wifewill be giving birth soon…hopefully next month or in April!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Hyori’s comeback has been pushed back to March, instead of this month.

BoA has also made a comeback…but in the Japanese music scene, with her 7th album, Identity.

2NE1 & Big Bang all released CF songs. 2NE1 released “Try to be Like Me” and Big Bang released “Lollipop 2″

4Minute’s collab with US singer, Amerie has been released too. Here’s a sneak preview before the album is released!


What’s up?…Ketchup!

yeah…i know that was a lame title…hahaha! But it’s almost 1AM and my head hurts. I’ve been shoving my face into notes and textbooks for the past week…and spent more time at the library then at home…school sucks! One more final and I am done! After Tuesday, everything will be back to normal on this blog ^^

Anyways, this post is just a catch up post for this week and maybe even last week…lol.

Oh yeah…lyrics are coming soon ^^

Wonder Girls on So You Think You Can Dance

Yup, the Wonder Girls were on it! And if you missed it…here’s a video of the performance!

I thought the performance was missing something…a spark, maybe?! I thought it could have been better. Some of it sounded like it was lip-synced…a bit disappointed in that. I love the girls and everything…but I feel this US debut of theirs kinda threw me off…seems like America’s not quite ready for them and the last thing I want is them being viewed as the the “Nobody” girls, “the girls from Jo Bro’s concerts” or even a Disney affiliation, since they were kinda managed by Papa Jo during the concert tour.

_______________________________________________

Seo In Young & Park Jung Ah are leaving Jewelry!

Yup. Title says it all. I’m so sad! They are the only two that I like in Jewelry and are the only members from the “original Jewelry” from way back in history.

_______________________________________________

Koyote’s BaekGa has brain tumor!

BaekGa was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. At first, he thought it was the after effects of an accident but when he went to go get his head checked, it was a brain tumor T___T  Kim Jong Min is still in the military.

_______________________________________________

Bloody Note #2

MBLAQ member, Lee Joon, received a bloody note from a crazy fan, who apparently slit her wrists, before using it to write the note. The note said “Lee Chang Sun (his real name), don’t forget me. You are my everything to me. I love you. Remember that. XX.” This is the second a fan has sent in creepy like that, with the first being unlucky Taecyeon of 2PM. For those unaware, Taec’s note consisted of period blood and scatter pubes. Gross, eh?! Fans these days get crazier and crazier. And I wonder who should be blamed for this?! The big music chaebol’s of Korea or what?!

_______________________________________________

Super Junior is out with a “new” music video

SuJu is out with a new music for their hit song, Sorry Sorry. It was filmed for their concert. It’s very classy but it doesn’t have much of a plot and the song is a LOT slower. Enjoy!

Mobile Popularity Award: Super Junior
Director of Music Video Award: Hong Won Ki

the awards were based on the album sales and album charts from 15th October 2008 till 22nd October 2009

 

i’m still trying to find the whole nomination list…some of the awards disappeared after the show…like OST…i don’t know who won that…and some appeared…like best asian star, asian composer, asian recommends, hall of fame.

before you guys rant about deserving/not deserving awards…please keep in mind that not all nominated artists did not attend…therefore they did not get the award they deserve. in my opinion, there were a few artists that deserved their awards more than others. but boo hoo…that’s mnet and rigged awards for us! but this year, it was not as biased as last year. not as much drama either =)

i wished Jay could’ve been there with 2PM to accept their awards!

and yes..SM did boycott the awards so none of their artists showed up, EXCEPT for three of TVXQ (Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu). They accepted an award on BEHALF of the group. It was just sad T___T. you can find a subbed video of them receiving their award and giving out a speech on youtube. i don’t have time to find it at the moment…sorry >.<

and if you would like to watch the show, mnet has kindly uploaded the whole thing…like they always do =) here’s the link ^^

Epikpop is now open!!

Epikpop is now open!! Today is the first post that I’m writing and I hope that all of you will like it ^^

Epikpop is a blog for all your Korean Entertainment News…well kinda…hehehe. I’ll be writing about some of my fav. artists in Kpop and will also be posting random stuff that I like. This is a place where I’ll be sharing my interests with everyone and it is also a place for non-Korean speaking people to come together and discuss the things that we all have in common….kpop/korean entertainment!

For those of you who want to know how the name “epikpop” came from…here’s the explaination! For some reason, I like the word “epic” but because I like the way Epik High spells it, I chose to use the word “epik” and because this place is all about Korean Entertainment, I went with kpop. Combining the two…you get “epikpop”!

I may not always post a long post like this…sometimes I may just post a link to music or something..lol!

To start off the celebration off this blog, here is Epik High’s new album, Remixing the Human Soul. Epik High and Planet Shiver collaborated to complete this album after a very long time and I can’t it’s finally released!!

I will only be uploading files onto mediafire ONLY. You can download via a zip file or as single files.
