[+1133, -10] This is the same guy who said he wouldn’t make money until the date his release was supposed to be and then claimed he gave rap lessons because he was running low on money? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+1030, -11] I don’t understand people who idolize a guy with such morals as the god of hip hop…he pulls this and then goes to write about the wrongness of society and things he suffered? Do these people know what real suffering is? Drinking till late in Hongdae and then going on shows a couple times to sing then going off and throwing thousands of dollars on shoes and cars. His hard work should be acknowledged sure but he needs to know what being a person is like first. There are no differences between him and trash politicians.
[+896, -13] He’s going to have a tough time being active in Korea.
[+71, -1] As bad as Steven Yoo. F’ing pig
[+61, -1] Mentally ill freaking pig rapper yo~~♪
