This is a post about the duo Blacklist

[awkwardnormalcy.livejournal.com]

So most of you haven't heard of the Korean, female hip-hop Duo Blacklist, which is not surprising. This post is here to catch you up. Don't get too excited now.

Blacklist comprises of Cheetah (Real name Kim Eun Young, 20) and Lucy (Park So Hyun, 18). After one year, six months they have formally debuted. Blacklist was inspired by the 1999 female hip hop duo “Tashannie” (Yoon Mi Rae, Annie). The 2nd Tashannie is what they are determined to be.

They both say “We will give 100% to the group” and also said “To be great like Yoon Mi Rae is hard but we will try.”

More under the cut.






Female hip-hop duos are extremely hard to find in the Korean music scene, but rookie group Blacklist, who fits the former description, will debut this month after a year and a half of preparation. The duo has been formed with the help of three distinguished companies: Now Entertainment, GNG Production, and CULT Entertainment, the same corporations that helped produce female hip-hop group Tashannie (who consisted of members Yoon Mirae and Annie) eleven years ago. Blacklist has been garnering much interest due to this reason.

Park Jun Sup, who created Tashannie at the time, explained that “he wanted to create tunes that strayed from mainstream music and hoped that Blacklist will be able to showcase such sounds.”

Blacklist consists of Cheetah (20) and Lucy (18). The leader, Cheetah will take part in vocals and rap while Lucy will take part in lead vocals and sub-rap. The group will debut with title track, “STOP” a south hip-hop styled number with lyrics that claim that true love cannot be bought with money.

Blacklist will debut on July 8th with their first single album. Be sure to check out this newly anticipated duo!

It's not really a cover since they're singing the version a German artist did before DBSK:



I admit that I've always preferred her singing it... seemed to fit better with the vibe of the song,

Anyway, these two girls don't sound so bad. :)

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

i always liked both versions. different takes, but hers is obvs sexier. and ia, her voice is perfect for the song.

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

Yep That under my skin cover is amazing. And LOL at how they're just sat in a car somewhere, random much?

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

[anthropopathy.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking it sounds like Se7en's song. I really like the girls but that kinda threw me off.
