Found it on this site called newasiantv 🙂
I did watch the first 2 episodes and found it really interesting!
Mino was clearly being used by Mnet right from the start! I mean dropping his name and giving glimpses of him but actually stretching his audition clip to the next episode! Smart move that- made me start the 2nd episode!
About his first line “Flaming charisma Mino”- umm.. I hated it! Mainly because it reminded me of SHINee’s Minho’s infamous rap! The look Zico gave on hearing it (or from wherever Mnet edited it) was so meme-worthy! 😛 But man, his actual rap later was good! and needless to say, I adore Mino… How he goes from this guy with loads of attitude to a giggling kid- I will never understand!! Both his personas suit him! 🙂 The second performance was good too! But why did Jay Park press the “fail” button… jealous much? 😛 Looks like a lot of rap-lyrics will be directed against him in the next few episodes!
Vernon- how did he actually clear!! It was so funny when Zico said he doesn’t understand it either because Vernon was quite bad!
One- He wasn’t bad but not very good either.
Ravi from Vixx- he wasn’t that bad in my opinion.. but I guess I don’t know that much about rapping. Same with Kim Min Jae. But here I might just be biased for his baritone! I found his second performance quite good!
And that guy that Jong Min supported! The guy who made the famous 1+1= gwiyomi song? As soon as Jong Min asked him to be cute whatever he did, I almost screamed- “don’t be cute, that won’t work here” and I was right!! 😛
I don’t remember the other performances that well, but so many idol rappers were rejected right from the start! Plus, there are not many female rappers in the competition! It would have been good if there were more!
Exactly! It’s like they sort of made him the main character. And even the other rappers mentioning him. Like, be original dude LOL.
Ahaha I think the flaming charisma part was on purpose because they have the same name, but yeah.. I wasn’t a fan of that either. He raps so well though and I’ve heard from Korean speakers that he’s an excellent lyricist because he can not only make really deep and meaningful songs, but also plays around a lot with the language, like using homophones and puns.
LOL I wouldn’t be surprised if Jay was jealous 😉 Tbh in my eyes he’s not much of a rapper, nor a singer. He’s mostly just good at putting on a performance.
Zico saying that about Vernon cracked me up! Savage 😛 I still don’t get how he made it through. He was simply awful and his attitude was kind of grating too (again who knows, maybe evil editing was involved).
One didn’t make much of an impression on me, but I think he was decent. Apparently he joined the next season too.
I think Ravi was pretty bad. Definitely not the worst idol-rapper I’ve heard, but he wasn’t very good compared to many others. His flow was a bit .. unexisting? and the lyrics weren’t that great either. It seemed to me that he was all fake-swag and attitude.
Kim Min Jae did good! I was surprised to see him eliminated so early tbh. He probably would’ve been cut in round 3, but I feel like he should have made it past round 2. He makes good lyrics and has a very distinct style that’s nice to listen to. Even the judges seemed to feel like they were a bit too harsh afterwards.
LOL same, I was almost screaming at the screen “noooo Jong Min!!!! Don’t say that!! Horrible advice, horrible!” 😛
I remember P-Type failing sooo clearly lol. He’s an awesome rapper, but his plan of coming there to tell them off completely backfired which was pretty hilarious haha 😛 (I’ll share a link to one of his really good songs on my wall in a minute btw)
I think that’s why they made Unpretty Rapstar, which is the same concept I think, just only for women. Jessi got famous through that show.
I wish I knew Korean so that i understood all the references that are lost in translation! Funny you mentioned Jessi because I watched 2 more episodes and Mino mentioned her for a good part of his one-on-one competition. It’s sad that the other guy was not that great because I wanted an epic battle like the one between – I have forgotten the names now but- Lil Boy and Basick (?) and one or two more battles.. It was really commendable that he chose an opponent who had better grade than him.
Funny you say that about Jay Park. I think I first saw him in one of my Seo In Guk related searches on YT and SIG completely overpowered him in almost everything- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18uhfnyXVm8&spfreload=10
I found him to be completely uninspiring. After that I actually went and watched some of his songs and didn’t like him much. Just like you said, good performance but nothing to write home about!
Zico’s performance though- wow! No wonder he got 18/24 votes! But it was funny how so many of the contestants rejected the offer to be on his team!! Perhaps because of possible competition within the team itself?And Tablo’s team getting 1 vote! Hahaha! I like him though.. he seems quite approachable…
The SnoopDog bit… Now that was a mess! I really liked how Mino was just patiently waiting next to the girl with that encouraging/sweet smile! She forgot her own lyrics but just-oh-so-naturally called out his name in her rap! 😛 And how Mnet edited that scene was funny too- everything slowed down and the girl looking at Mino’s soft smile! I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had added flying hearts in that tiny moment! 😛
Oh and I liked that guy from Monsta X… Not a lot but he was not bad! By the end of it all, I actually felt a tiny bit sad for Vernon… Coming on this show is a huge risk that idol rappers take! They really shouldn’t come out if they aren’t brilliant! They will pretty much be chewed out and it might just affect their idol career if they are the rappers of their group! They should be at the level of Mino or Bobby I guess!
I have seen some clips of Jessi’s stint in Unpretty Rapstar (thanks to her appearance in RM) and she is funny and fierce!
It’s funny you should mention it, because when I was watching them pick out their opponents, I felt like the good rappers should kind of be ashamed to pick the really bad ones. Like they don’t have enough confidence in themselves to pick strong opponents. I was so happy to see Mino choose someone with stronger rating than himself!
I loved that he was left alone right till his card was drawn, only the strongest rappers were left, because everyone were afraid to go up against them haha 😀 It really proves that despite them trying to put him down so much, they know he’s really good.
Oooh I’ll be watching that link in a minute! Thanks! And yes, Jay Park is a classic case of having gotten famous because he can perform more than because of his skills. Nothing wrong with that though, it just felt kind of odd to me to have him as a producer.
It was such a “in your face” moment when him and paloalto got all the votes lol. It didn’t take him long to prove to all the haters that he’s more than “just an idol-rapper”. I wondered at that too. Maybe it’s to do with the idol stigma? Like the underground rappers didn’t want to get their share of the hate? One and Mino are idols themselves and Ja Mezz seems like he’s too cool to care about that sort of stuff, but I can imagine some of the others worrying about the stigma.
Absolute mess. I was happy to see him patiently waiting the entire time, because it was like secondhand embarrasment to see them all basically fighting over the mic. It was so cute how he was just standing there smiling and that editing was hilarious 😛
Joo Heon from Monsta X definitely showed some potential. Agreed, I feel like if you’re already famous (whether an idol or not) you really need to think twice before joining. However in Vernon’s case I think it’s his agency who made him join, which kind of does make me feel a bit bad for him, because he was so clearly not just out of his league, but also in the wrong neighborhood lol. Poor kid’s got no swag 😛
Jessi is awesome, I love her. One of the only female Korean non-comedienne celebs who dares to let go and be herself.

So I finished SMTM4… Such messy editing, writing and producing. I’m not even sure what it wants to be now, the beginning and the end are so different…
