The artists I mentioned above r who I consider the best 3rd gen kpop had to offer rap wise. I also feel like it is the epitome kpop industry can delve into the hip hop scene. These guys solo works r just pure raw nd unaltered hip hop nd the feel that gives is just hands down brilliant verse structures, varying flows, the lyrical play nd etc.
U guys need to check out their solo releases - RM has two mixtapes,Suga has two mixtapes, J Hope 1, Bobby has 2 mixtapes nd I think those both r full albums, Mino also has 2 mixtapes. For Zico I can't even name how many songs he produced. Just go to their Spotify pages nd click shuffle.
Apart from music perspective, I feel like these guys r sooo respected even in the k hip hop scene that I feel like it is impossible to recreate that level of success nd impact. Also all these guys know each other since the beginning although they don't mention each other.
Even before debut Bobby nd BI were making waves in Korea, Zico seems to have ascended a nee level of popularity that everything he touches becomes hit, I don't even need to say about Bts, they have ascended to another level even collaborating with some OG hip hop artists both international nd korean. Mino also is another respected rapper in the scene nd he has worked with soo many hip hop artists.
Right now in the current gen, I'm only gonna talk about stray kids cox they only seem to be putting effort in rap areas nd they seem to give their attention to the genre nd wanting to prove themselves. One of them even went to show me the money although he did disqualify.
While out of 4th gen , they seem to be the ones to ace it, if I have to compare their work to their seniors only in group not solo coz they haven't released solo works. I feel like they fall short by a large extent. The flow, the lyrical play, the versatility I find them to be average. Is it only me who feels that? Let me know guys.
They do seem to tackle some good topics on their work nd they seem to be as authentic as possible but like I said they seem to be ok. Nothing extraordinary but average. Like I don't get tracks like Fear by Mino, Yggr by Bobby, hit me by Mobb, hip hop lover nd cypher series by Bts rap line nd their earlier albums works.
Nd keep in mind I am only including the early 3 years works of the above guys, not their whole career works coz stray kids also had 3 years since debut.
I feel like vocalists wise maybe the 4th gen can match up the previous gen but rap wise it's not

I remember watching one of her instagram lives where she was just sitting in her room talking in Korean and most of the comments were saying Jhoooope, Bts π and other sh!t related to Bts and jhope.
I haven't been keeping updates with her but today, my mind decided to check out her Instagram. I went to the comments and saw that she had limited it so I knew something was wrong and my mind immediately knew that army's spam sh!t like jhooope that's why she felt the need to limit them.
I also watched her yt videos and my god all of them are begging for likes or just asking about Jhope
Also, is it really that hard to respect their privacy? Like, if u want to spam then spam on bts's accounts, on their vlives, ur fanpage dedicated to Bts etc. Why bother the fcking family member. This ain't the first time y'all doing this, literally ten's sister's fcking Instagram was hacked by a nctzen just for them to message Ten.
What is considered as debut as soloist? I always thought having your solo MV meant that you debuted as soloist. So now Iβm confused what is the requirement for a solo debut?
Kinda stupid but whenever I hear praise for J-hope, esp his dance, performance & stage presence, my heart feels sooo vindicated. Back in 2015, I used to see comments that undermined his talent from both within and outside the fandom - yeah, that's common for any idol, but it really grated on my nerves because I thought he was awesome. As for Jin, a few years back when worldwide handsome trended and people started recognising how hilarious he was - I'll never forget his Hello Counselor appearance with Jimin - I was soooo happy. I haven't followed BTS in a looooooooooong while, but yeah, every time I think about how successful and esteemed they are, I feel soooooooo vindicated. Jump to 2:01 to see what happens in my mind every time I see people praise J-hope lol
