Mnet’s “Show Me The Money 3”, a rap survival program, contestant Iron (아이언) aka Jung Heon Chul made his controversial comeback 2 months after his marijuana charge.
The K-rapper dropped the music video for his new track, titled “SYSTEM”, today (Thursday, 30th June) and it has received a lot of mixed reactions from both fans and netizens.
While some fans praised him for his songwriting and smooth rapping skills, V.I.Ps (as fans of BIGBANG are lovingly known) are not too happy with him dissing G-Dragon and T.O.P. One netizen wrote, “I think Iron is a good rapper but dissing BIGBANG members is NEVER a good idea! I guess maybe Iron needed more attention”.
Apparently, towards the end of his song, his lyrics mention G-Dragon’s past marijuana scandal and suggest that T.O.P has no musical talent.
He rapped, “He shaved his head, but I grew mine. What’s he going to pull out from now? GD b**** cheated on his fans, but pretends like he got dumped by them. Handicapped rapper T.O.P. Just change your career to acting”.
Our take?
Dissing is actually a very common trend in the hip hop culture and if netizens are able to look past Iron’s disses, “SYSTEM” is actually a very truthful description about how cruel the South Korean music industry can be. In his music video, he used cultivating chickens to describe the forming of current K-Pop artistes.
