And as a very early and enthusiastic supporter of BTS, I fear that the quality of their music is starting to suffer even as their star power explodes.Ī western influence in k-pop is nothing new. This push and pull has been steadily increasing ever since PSY‘s big international breakthrough in 2012, but it feels like we’re entering a new stage.
music scene for a variety of reasons, I can’t help but feel that the very western elements I’ve come to loathe are threatening to alter k-pop’s unique identity.
But as someone who has all but abandoned the U.S. BTS has worked so hard and come so far, and they certainly deserve to be as massive as they’ve become. For the past year or so, I feel like I’ve been in the minority when it comes to the group’s incredible worldwide success. The song continues to be performed by BTS on many occasions, as it is seen by both BTS and fans alike as a revisiting of BTS’s hip-hop roots and their transparent confidence.Less than a week after their historic performance on the American Music Awards, BTS have returned with a remixed version of their album track MIC Drop, courtesy of U.S. “Mic Drop” and its remix aims to do exactly that.Ĭomplete with three dance breaks, the remixed song and the corresponding choreography made for one unforgettable performance at the 2017 year-end award show, Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).īTS takes the stage with "Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)" at the 2017 MAMA in Hong Kong" The speech cemented the action of dropping a mic after a speech or a statement soon became a symbol of one’s confidence and “swag”. Just like the original version, which was released in their mini-album LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘Her’, the song “Mic Drop” was inspired by Barack Obama’s famous 2016 White House Correspondent’s Dinner Speech. This is also one of BTS’s first songs to be released with a majority of the lyrics in English.
This way the rap and the lyrics, the very essence of BTS’s success, becomes the highlight of the song.
MIC DROP STEVE AOKI HOW TO
Did you see my bag? (Where?) Did you see my bag? (Where?) It's hella trophies and it's hella thick (Hella thick, hella thick) What you think 'bout that? (Well) What you think 'bout that?
