Rapper Iron recently made a sharp return on June 30 with his new track “System.” In his return after one year, Iron has a lot to say about the state of things: “I was dead to the world, one year in a corner of my room… Police and reporters that take bribes. Written lists. Their political affairs. Timed bombs… The masses manipulated by scandals.”
He also takes some punches at BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and T.O.P. He says in “System,” “I take responsibility for my actions like a man. But my thoughts on weed will never change. When reporters hear this they’ll associate me with some lowlife. That XX shaved his hair and I grew mine […] GD cheating on a fan and pretending he was dumped. Convert to acting instead of rap eunuch T.O.P.”
The lyrics continue: “It’s time. Height like Justin Bieber. The smell of skate gives me more goosebumps than Clara. I’ll make a prediction. You’ll be used and thrown away like Se7en. Bang. I feel a kick like a Kiko.”
Iron refers to all the press surrounding his marijuana scandal, and disses G-Dragon, who received a suspension of indictment for marijuana use in 2011. Suspicion at the time had been that G-Dragon shaved his head because of drug tests, although the prosecutor’s office stated that G-Dragon shaved his head two months after the case was already closed.
Article: Iron makes comeback 3 months after marijuana scandal with 'SYSTEM'... even a high scale diss to G-Dragon
1. [+1,132, -40] From one druggie to another
2. [+959, -94] Does he think that makes him look cool if he disses him with a rap? It just looks pathetic. Go say it to his face.
3. [+934, -140] You're not really in any position to be dissing G-Dragon either...
4. [+65, -13] Why didn't he diss him before? Why diss him after getting caught for marijuana himself? I like Iron's music but the timing of this all is pretty pathetic.
5. [+59, -15] Just sounds like a ploy to get attention
6. [+53, -7] He disses him now but I bet once he gets on a variety show, he'll be like "I really like Big Bang"
7. [+50, -4] Before his scandal: "G-Dragon broke the idol stereotype, he's someone I find amazing and highly respect" ㅋㅋㅋ after his scandal: "GD XXX this TOP XX that"
8. [+36, -8] Why is he dragging GD into this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+3,265, -42] You can barely call 3 months a period of reflection, it's just enough time to make a song and comeback ㅋㅋ
2. [+1,498, -44] Don't care...
3. [+1,281, -28] What's his revenge sob story when he was the one who got caught with marijuana ㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+1,124, -42] Just read the lyrics... surprised this was even given the pass as a release
5. [+270, -9] He's such a tryhard, sigh
Oh honey, dissing idols is so last season
The mention of Kiko was gross and unnecessary and I'm not sure why T.O.P was thrown in the mix
Is he an "rap eunuch" because he can't rap or is Iron trying to imply something else?

Date: 2016-06-30 09:12 am (UTC)someone mentioned that the song was produced by kidoh. i'm not sure if it's true but i remember that asshole doing another song with dnh crew and being gross about kiko. i guess, i shouldn't be surprised but it's just nasty. learn to write good raps before trying to drag idols.

Date: 2016-06-30 10:14 am (UTC)He is disgusting with the slurs and mentioning Kiko...I guess he really doesn't want to have a career in Korea if this is who he's hoing after for shock value. He should have checked with ChoPd how he faired out when he went after GD/BigBang/YGE peeps...

Date: 2016-06-30 11:20 am (UTC)It's not that I'm even a GD fan or anything, it's just so childish and petty. He should have stuck to criticising the government and their laws relating to drugs, instead of attacking those who have had similar controversies to him. It just looks like (and is) an attention grab. Besides the fact that GD's marijuana incident is brought up quite a lot (from what I've seen), even if he benefitted off a system willing to 'shield' him... the problem is still the system. Iron would most definitely have taken some shielding if he could've, he's just bitter he didn't. I get why he's mad, but you attack the root of the issue, the branches are just a result of that.
That was long lol, but I'm just tired of these petty ass feuds. This doesn't even display enough skill to make it interesting, no matter how much weed he smokes, Iron clearly isn't 'real' like that.
Also, the "gay pop" line is gross and obviously derogatory in it's use; along with the unnecessary mention of Kiko. He's trash.

Date: 2016-06-30 12:06 pm (UTC)You could go hard with some sharp verse and end up applaud, yet you went the disgusting&petty route. We all get that you there for "thug", weed life etc, but telling that you still gonna stand on the "weed's side" is not some act worth badge of honour or something, Iron the Weed Knigh thinks he's above it all and some "realness" protector while he's just...

Date: 2016-06-30 12:39 pm (UTC)it is truly embarrassing to see people cape for gd of all people!!! on this just as it is to see people that don't listen to rap in english try and discuss this.
honestly, i appreciate dragging of idol rappers and posers, particularly yg artists (as a stan of many of them) for disrespecting the art form because yge in particular are habitual line steppers, even cl and dara appropriate heavy then take credit for it. its totally valid to call them on being fake. many are talented e.g. mino & top but that doesn't mean as a whole they shouldn't be called out
which is not to say i co-sign every lyric so don't try me, just that gd and top are fair game as rappers. if they love rap so much they should embrace a challenge and hit back with some fire bars
oh and gd is a damn coward! fact. yes, the system in sk regarding weed is unfair but gd still acted like a loser about it all, at least iron owns who he is even if that appears to be messy. when has gd ever faced reality head on and taken responsibility for his bs? exactly
ONCE AGAIN i am not co-signing all the lyrics if these are real or defending iron, im defending hip hop and im here to drag gd coz...he always deserves it lmao
it is really fucking tragic that someone as brave and open minded as iron has been would resort to ugly and narrow minded homophobic lines. its gross. there's no excuse

Date: 2016-06-30 07:51 pm (UTC)But like others have said, where he targets Kiko and Clara and talks about "gaypop" is horrible.
Also I don't really understand why he's going for GD and TOP, he knows they're not going to respond or acknowledge it, and GD still gets dragged by knetz as a druggie so that argument is pretty moot. I can't help but think he targeted them for attention tbh.
That said I hope he's successful, smoking weed shouldn't ruin someone's career, especially when assholes are getting away with DUIs and rapes.
I kinda wish he'd actually go diss Rapmon and, to a lesser extent Suga, bc that would be really interesting.
Also I'm guessing that's where a lot of his idol resentment comes from. But I guess the DNH bond runs too deep, so he won't diss Rapmon anyway.

Date: 2016-06-30 11:24 pm (UTC)I feel like he should have just stuck with those lines about the govt and all that, but he cheapened his bars to diss idols (everybody knows they don't have no freedom to do shit and blah blah), disrespect women and be homophobic. People won't care about the rest of the verses that really do shed light on something important.
