More rap line? EXO or Big Bang (1 Viewer)

[TWICEVELVETPINK]

Which male group had the more impressive rap line?

YG's Big Bang
or
SM's EXO

T.O.P and GD is a powerful duo. GD is a genius and T.O.P flow is just impressive.

I find Big Bangs rappers overrated a bit but better than Exos. BB does have good rappers, I just wouldn't say the best in kpop like most VIPs think.

just curious [since its subjective] what do you think makes a good rapper or good rap skills?

I prefer listening to EXO raps, but BigBang rap line is good.

I'm not someone who understands Korean or knows rap so for me it has to do with flow, clarity/enunciation, and the overall meaning of the lyrics if I look them up. There's more but I just woke up and am not functioning

I know the feeling. Maintenance man came while I was sleeping to install a new window, because a couple weeks ago some random kids [in my apartment complex] were playing outside throwing oranges and one smashed the sh*t out of my window as it came barreling through... And the father of those kids was like: "Boys will be boys."😫

EXO's and BB's rap line aren't that comparable. Big Bang has one guy who was underground rapper and another who was training to be in hip hop duo instead of idol group. I'm not sure about EXO, but I assume they are more common idol rappers who rap cause company gave them the position? That's my image of them at least.

Honestly SM rappers in general kind of get shoved in that position. Mark and Taeyong are the two rappers from SM that I think are actually good rappers, although they also weren't underground rappers either. Mark had been training since he was 12 though and he has quite a variety of musical experience and songwriting practice also which Im sure helps.

That's my impression of SM rappers too, the definition of idol rappers. SM just seems to care least about rap in big 3. Not that idol rappers can't sound good, many of them do, but still compared to those who are passionate about rapping the skills are different. Taeyong is pretty good, Mark probably too, I dont' rly listen to NCTs stuff that much so I don't have clear image of their rapping.

I’m not a huge fan of either rap lines But I think I prefer BB.

BigBang has a way better rap line

 

[yeji]

this is such a non question. sm rappers are just not good or are ok‘ish at best. even GD and TOP can be cringe with their raps but definitely have a better flow tbh.

but hey maybe it‘s just my khh obsessed ass speaking now

 

[yeji]

and btw a fairer comparison would be Big Bang/Winner/iKON with Block B ( Mino and Zico would be a tough one to say who is better)
