CL is Getting them Praises, Ya'll!

[canxi.livejournal.com]

So, 2NE1 released a new album and with it came another solo song from CL. Since I've been seeing some warm reception, I decided to share~!


DJ/music producer (and a personal fave of mine), TokiMonsta, tweeted CL's song with a nice comment!



Some in the K Hip-Hop community had some nice things to say as well:








Yella Diamond (rapper): CL's cool./ 2NE1's album is great because it's so well structured.
Jerry.k (MC): So CL has written a lot of songs...I'm falling deeper in love.
Madclown(rapper): Ms. CL’s rap has a delicate sensibility to it and it’s detailed too…’MTBD’ is great!!
Charlie Choi(MC/designer/director/producer): Totally awesome CL Mental breakdown.

And a pop-culture site even weighs in:



Yay for praise! Just a few people but that's a good thing. It means hard work pays off and that YG might even trust her to take on even more musical responsibilities for the group. I think a 2NE1 less reliant on the company will probably be for the best.

MTBD is so f*cking good. I've been having it on replay non stop and twerking all over my house! I'm so happy for CL and I hope she promotes her solo to cleanse the minds of those deeply affected by TBF(although I like TBF, oop).

In their defense, they cover more than just K-Pop so it was probably just to give non K-Pop fans an idea of who they were talking about/generate a click.

Like fans of those two artists will be like "WHO are they comparing to my fave?!" *clicky click* Web site gets more views!

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

true and even though I HATE IT when people make comparisons to western artists like this i can see why its useful for them (but not so much for the artists they're comparing)

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

it's good (especially given how awful TBF was) but popdust please take a seat or two

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

"Beyonce and Nicki Minaj better watch their backs"
lmao

[p-jae.livejournal.com]

No Popdust.

2ne1's album is not R&B, lol. I think people are giving CL to much credit with this comeback. I am happy for them, but damn, they didn't do anything any different then what the usually do. I don't think Cl should be getting all this credit for a song she didn't write or produce on her own, same for GD. And Beyonce and Nicki needs to do what?....Bye..

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

lmao there's always one person

Second 2NE1 mini and CL's solo for 2014

[21banged.livejournal.com]

Seriously, if YG drops the ball and doesn't follow up again.... :'(

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

just gonna ignore that popdust tweet.
my baby slaying, i'm so happy for her. the entire album is flawless, i hope we get a repackage (bc tbh it feels like there are only eight songs, what with come back home unplugged and scream kor).

I need a video for MTBD. It shouldve been her debut solo single.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Considering Korean conservative society a twerk song wouldn't necessarily be the best debut song. However, she totally should release an English version of this. I feel like even without actual promotion it would end up getting playtime in Western countries via word-of-mouth.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

its not a twerk song tho...? and they already gave her shit during TBF for her outfits so w/e
agree about the english version tho.this could easily be a sleeper hit.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Why would anyone even think of having thoughts of Beyonce and CL consecutively??

Other than that, had no clue Tokimonsta was female until this year LMAO.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Honestly it's almost impossible not to twerk while listening to this song, like I feel this song would bring out inner ratchet even in 80 years old grandmas.

-dyin here, but +1

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I love MTBD. One of the best songs on the album.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

I can imagine this doing well in the US...I'm still saving for the perfect moment to drop this in the car. Worried I might hit something because it's impossible not to dance to this....and I appreciate it for that.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

Of course she's getting praise. My Queen is perfect <3
And MTBD is sooooo good. I think it's my second fave song on the album actually.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Your icon is really cute !!

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

thank you!!! i made it myself ^^
sadly it's one of the only good parts of the Happy MV i could find to make an icon from :((

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

im glad the new 2ne1 album is getting a lot of praise :)))) im so proud of them.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

THIS SONG SLAYS

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

this song is a freaking jam.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

MTBD should be slaying the charts tbh it's such a jam. I need this album to win awards because it grows on you so much, like the more you listen, the more addicted you get :0

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

I love you CL, but I died at the Nick and Beyonce one. Sorry...
But she did do pretty well. Well... I don't think that it was bad the way people feared it would be, myself included. I quite liked most parts of the album....

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

That Popdust comment...no. But I will say CL basically slayed w/ that solo song. I wasn't particular about her before (based on that "koreans are more passionate about music" comment) but she's won me over again.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Considering how they have 4 damn music shows on tv I can kind of see if she meant the general focus

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

-let me correct myself because I realize I rephrased her words wrong lol- She said "Compared to U.S. and Japanese singers, our (Koreans) singers are more passionate."

Even with having 4 music shows on t.v., how does that even validate how passionate Korean Singers are compared to others?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I responded to the original phrasing...having four music shows with regular ratings does display a general interest for the public...I"m not talking about the singers
