I'm not in agreement with all of the results but Ripple Effect won album of the year and that's all that matters to me. it's a shame that the winners are mainly from Just Music or Illionaire but I really shouldn't have expected any different. for a list of all the nominees click here! they're all worth checking out.

[shiroki-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, when I saw this article headline, I thought it read hipployta...

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

me too and i clicked bc i respect their opinion on things lololol

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Same. I was like....she got her on awards? Lol.

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

same. then i wondered if i'd been reading her username wrong this entire time. haha

[sha197.livejournal.com]

samee hahha

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Ok it wasn't just me lol
I was like, "Ooook, GET IT SIS....oh wait..."

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

LOL...I should hold my own awards

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

Okasian isn't the Supreme/Jordan's poster boy in Hi-Lite. I'd give that to Reddy. Okasian is more on this modest thift store tip these days.

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

Thrilled that "Born Hater" won 2 awards. I still listen to that song 10 times a day.

From the nominees/winners does anyone have any suggestions? I need some new music recs in my life.

[soyogi.livejournal.com]

I made a playlist (http://8tracks.com/soyogi-mp3/2014) that features songs from all of the nominees! it covers all the nominated albums, producers, and artists n___n

for full albums: Hwaji's album Eat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K55gvAG3mU&list=PLeOFJo-N1uKMo_fAC-VZXW3_LYVIf5EDo) (idk how to describe it but like... smooth? it sounds heavy if that makes any sense), Iron's IXTAPE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdaJ4GpxlgA&list=PLofD4QHSzkibU228-XoPlYzIJjzz6DjHR) (fun album, not too serious or like... "hard"), Just Music's Ripple Effect (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwioV7D2Ncs) (dark sounding and produced entirely by Genius Nochang; imo totally deserves album of the year), and Alshain's Natural Hi-Fi (reminds me of The Weeknd and Miguel, especially on tracks like Reception (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hACJ0WB_mTs)).
for artists: anything by the members of VV:D (if you don't already listen to them), Qim Isle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnk--mqXxrE), Code Kunst (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmBp9CBYqX0), Mayson the Soul (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXFn2l8exy0), Ven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6mwCQzhoNA), and Huckleberry P (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCelAvRxncQ). Paloalto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WN51PX4XVc) wasn't nominated for anything but if you decide to listen to anyone on this list, listen to him!

[hunbin.livejournal.com]

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

[teahearts.livejournal.com]

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

[blkjck.livejournal.com]

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

You are amazing! Thank you for already making my weekend awesome! :D

[viviying13.livejournal.com]

you're awesome, thank you so much!

[phychugirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I work night shift and this will keep me plenty occupied. :D

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

omg this is awesome!

[gogoparty.livejournal.com]

anything mayson the soul touches is gold tbh

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

I will check them out. Thanks! :D

[elementree.livejournal.com]

i agree with most of the winners out of the top 3 noms... except totally side-eyeing genius nochang as producer over gray, but whatever.

and say whatever you want about dok2, kid hustles.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

meh i can see why born hater won but the song itself lyrics included isn't really that great in terms of consistency, other than like... verbal jint/zino only some parts of people's verses were any good.

but i'll take the rest of this

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

cracked up @ first winner

cmon now

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

Album art was beautiful!

LOL @ the difference between 1/2 and 3rd place lyrics (I assume something was lost in translation).

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Wanted to roll my eyes at Dok2 winning artist of the year but then 2nd/3rd place aren't any better lmao

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

lmao i saw b-free and i was like ok you can have it dok2

[kashiyaek.livejournal.com]

lmao, mte!

[beanii.livejournal.com]

Lol at the winners for best lyrics
"it's raining outside, drizzle drizzle"
beautiful.

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

In Korean it makes for one of the catchiest hooks I've heard on a song in a very long time.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

khip hop is so pretentious but there is some quality on this list that gives me glimmers of hope.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

nochang really is a genius
and yas can't wait for the rise of black nut!

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

Yas for Loco and Crush, I still jam to their albums all the time, and nothing else could have beaten Born Hater for MV or collab. Other than that, these were the Illionaire awards for real. I don't hate them, but everything that has come from them lately is just more of the same. Now off to check out some of the nominations I haven't heard before.

[meterstandkaart.livejournal.com]

Yes, Ripple Effect deserves all the love!

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

As mad as ya'll are for illionaire wrecking shop you should probably realize that their stuff gets crazy play, illionaire concerts constantly sell out, and no one hustles as hard as Dok2 to make money.

I don't think he's artist of the year or label of the year or single of the year but in terms of popularity they totally deserve all of those.

Though I do agree illionaire's sound has gotten pretty bad though a ton of the same sound none of which I personally want. Beenzino is still the same good ole Beenzino.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Keith Ape? Is he a fan of Gorilla Zoe, or...?

Yay for Crush!! And I loved Loco's album, so good for him too!

So I say this as a bitter BTS stan, but is B-Free any good? All I ever see if stuff about him dissing other rappers.

[viviying13.livejournal.com]

yeahhh samee!! my first impression on B-Free was from that BTS incident so I've never given him any attention... nor do I really want to tbh. Is he really that great...?

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Right? I know awards don't really mean too much, because they don't always reflect talent but instead popularity; so IDK if his nominations are because he's that good or... And since I'm a bitter stan idw to waste time checking him out unless someone gives a good req.

[lennoxs.livejournal.com]

sorry this is such a late reply but b-free is really, really good. one of the best lyricists in khh imo. i don't like him but he is talented. and san e deserved that diss lmao

i'd def recommend giving "i remember" a listen. korean dream is a great album (huckleberry p's was better tho imo)

[lennoxs.livejournal.com]

huckleberry p puts on the best show i've ever experienced. the amount of charisma and stage presence that guy has is ridiculous. he's kind of an asshole but i still love his music lol

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Okay...when I read the first one and saw Dok2 won I wanted to close the post LOL
