The one at the start is Yano! Maknae and one of their rappers :)
They are doing this live, and the fan choreo is amazing. Here's Show Champ (Feb 19) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjY4eFijWQI), M Countdown (Feb 20) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkjfL0ctEG8), Music Bank (Feb 21) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhXMoFG13w) and my personal fave (Feb 22) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHRQb8heUtY) (even though it's a shorter version).
I love the choreo to this, especially since the use of accessories doesn't feel overdone.
I'm still wondering how they keep the masks on though. From what I can tell, it looks like some sort of grip that they bite. I can see Kidoh (?) passing them out just before that part (and kicking something? a fan? away) and they hold it for the first part, but then ???
(Also, if they are biting it, it's not my imagination that's showing them passing their masks at 2:09, right? Like, Xero actually does put the mask on Yano?)
(Also, also, P-Goon in that shirt is so good, I'm almost willing to overlook the hat)
:3 haha, I mean, I made it mostly to let out my Topp Dogg feelings but it'd be nice if it can help others get into them as well!
And yeah, I'm always curious about the props. I feel like the fans are probably looser than normal as well, because from my own experience playing with similar ones, they don't usually flick out that nicely unless they are quite loose. I hope we get more glimpses of behind the scenes stuff for this era - I know there was a backstage vid recently but what they were saying was beyond my level of Korean, haha.
!!! Xero's gonna be on Star Dance Battle I'm so happy for him ;_; !!!
I finally just watched this and the choreo is a lot better than what music shows let on and thank god for normal outfits (though who wears a dress shirt or a giant fur hat to practice...)
I forgot, why does Omona not particularly care for these guys? Was it just bc they're nugu and such a large group, or was there more to it?
Anyways...I've given up fighting it, I enjoy them, and without even really trying I know over half their names. I guess if you've memorized suju &/or exo and still have other faves you'll be able to put faces and names together for Topp Dogg fairly easily. I think.
Back at the parking garage I see. I guess they're never going to use that club they used for Say It. I enjoyed the live stages more, but this was cute too.
They're from Block B's old label, and that label debuted them at like, exactly the same time that Block B did their first comeback after leaving that label.
I think it was a combination of (some fairly dumb) reasons
- too big a group (if you stan Exo you have no right to say this lol) - they used autotune - stupid group name - lots of people lost interest in them after Block B left stardom (I know there are people who don't want to support them on that principle alone which is so ridiculous because the boys never did anything)
I'm sad that they aren't getting as much attention as they should (imo) because with that many members you would have expected a lot of dead weight but the members are really, really talented and now I can't see them as the original 7 member group anymore because the other members add so much to the group.
Thanks I thought there was more to it but couldn't remember the main gripes outside of 13 members.
I didn't care for the autotune in Say It, but then they released Cigarette.
I'm looking fwd to their subunits. They ARE a talented bunch, and though i totally understand ppls anger towards Stardom's issues with Block B, like you said, it shouldn't be held against TD.
omg i've been wondering how they keep on the masks and i think i figured it out? at like 2:02 if you look at sanggyun's mask there appears to be a bar.. DO THEY BITE IT?! omFG
