Allkpop

First?

LOL

Just cause you’re from the South and you use Southern beats, doesn’t meant that message is always gonna be positive.

wow, i hate these korean pop jotbaps pretending to be rappers.

I find that video disturbing, vile and repulsive.

fool

The guy is hot but seriously…he’s from Colorado…don’t be throwing As….for Atlanta or LA.

Wait he’s from LA? I always thought he was from Atlanta because he always did the A down peace sign. Someone should tell him not to wear those military style clothes anymore. That’s so out of fashion like last season.

I like flyboy. Spread your wings up!!!!! XD
Seriously, it’s so catchy. Just don’t watch the MV coz you’re gonna laugh.

disgusting ...

ahahaha i agree! but his songs ARE catchy!

haha im sorry
but he doesnt know much about true hip hop
you cant just all of a sudden use southern style of rap
you’re just born with it or you rep it

fuking embarrasing to koreans

That fly boy is catchy as hell, but yeah like jccj said do not watch the video, looks like the borrowed a friends camera and just followed him around atlanta shooting ramdon shots of him try to be cool.  He even throws in a few token black friends.

i aint from America so all this talk of ‘A’ being for Atlanta or LA or whatever don’t mean nothing to me lol, but yeah you can’t hate Crown J i mean the guy is able to put up with SIY and for that i have 100% respect for the guy. And Fly boy is actually pretty catchy just like the ‘too much….A’ song.

I was so confused but I realized he changed the meaning of “A” from Atlanta to LA…

—————————————-

and your still confused. Crown J is referring to ATLANTA! If you saw one of his cyworld videos he even mentions that b/c he made ATL his 2nd U.S. hometown. And crown j isnt from LA hes from South Korea, moved to Colorado when he was a teenager and attended UCLA…gosh do your research before you do a post idiot.

and the south does have positive hip hop. have you heard of the group LITTLE BROTHER?? a duo from north carolina who is all the way positive with their lyrics.

the south is known for its party music such as miami bass (uncle luke and etc) the east is known for its gritty-ness (the birth of hip hop) the west is known for its gangsta rap, the midwest is known for its mixture of east, west and south. look at chicago you have Common who is known as a positive rapper, you have chingy (who is from st. louis) who does that southern style of rap…

man i feel bad for the state of music in korea.
where its okay to bite hooks off of musicians in the US.
the hook for flyboy was totally ripped from three six mafia’s “stay fly”

ummm @ TheProdigy “Crown J, an LA born Korean rapper” he was born in Korea i believe not LA. not sure tho can anyone verify that?

i love crown J!

that’s vulgar and embarrassing

I laff my ass off when I listen to his english and gangster-wannabe catch phrases. lol

gurl who cares. He’s hot.

CrownJ is frickin’ cool!

I didn’t know there were any differences in styles of rap?? 0_0
I learned something new today…. ^-^

LOL. nice article =)

and Lena Park is right. Compared to East/West coast, Dirty South IS known for the more positive style. LOL @ your “history of hip hop class”, because Lil Jon does NOT equal the rest of the south (and is so 6 years ago). Dude might be fake, but he’s done his research.

Watch BET or something.

i could care less what type of rap he’s trying to portray, and he’s the one person even more annoying than SIY, with his random “english” phrases and gangster attitude. it’s disturbing just watching him -___-

Lena Park speaks the truth.

OMG! I love his music but I HATE HOW…MATERIALISTIC HE IS! I mean really he cares so much about jewlery shoes and clothes its sickening!

I think each region in the U.S. has some positive rap stuff. From most to least:
East > South > West
I find real Southern rap music to have some rock influence (Lil’ John was a great example). The east is more deep while the West is more laid back. Midwest is the most diverse.
Anywho, Crown J just confuses me. I’ve heard he’s from Colorado and then Atlanta and now L.A.? WTF lol

if you took a history of hip hop class at least try to spell Lil’ Jon correctly

@realhiphop
Since when are these kpop wangsta beats ORIGINAL? lol don’t expect to much from these wangstas

Look at the guy HE IS SO FAKE!!!

LA??? Isn’t he from Colorado??? I remember a YSMM episdoe where he said he lived in Colorado…

shyt I like me some crown J lol

I said I wasn’t coming back here, but the one time I do, I read this foolishness. I’m compelled to comment.

“I took a history of hip hop class”

LOL! So that makes you an expert I suppose? I am seriously ROTFL over here. You sound like Sarah Palin, like how she can see Russia from her house so it makes her a foreign policy expert. Maybe I should take a class on Korean stuff and then try to tell you about your own culture. That is, *if* you’re Korean. LMFAO. Ohhh man, I’m actually embarrassed for you; luckily the average commenter on this site isn’t even intelligent enough to notice your ignorance. Only one other person commented on it, ha. Have fun taking your single-credit college electives at Phoenix University, or whatever school that offers such a pathetic class. Meanwhile, leave the hood music styles to the experts. Folks who actually come from the south. FYI, Crown J was right. The south has a more positive message than the real-life tough stories of the west coast, etc. Even the crappy Bama Rap dance songs from 2006 go to show that. Little ditties about white tees and leaning with it while simultaneously rocking with it… all generically positive. Maybe midwest rap is on par with the message, but they typically lack the beats. Also, LOL @ you calling Lil Jon a classic ANYTHING. Maybe a classic two-hit wonder. A classic grill purchaser. He has a classic hairstyle…  I’m digging here. For classic southern rappers try Pimp C, 8Ball (imo), even T.I. is a living legend! Pssh. I’m done wasting my finger-breath on this.

....wtf do yall know about the South….Crown J is gay…bet that fool never even been to Atlanta, I bet he never even ate at a Waffle House, or been to Kroger, or H-Mart..Everybody just want to rep ATL now cause everybody who is anybody is from the A now. His fake wanna-be ATL swagger just makes him look stupid. Be proud of where your from just cause your from there, don’t pretend your from somewhere your not. If your from Colorado, then rep Colorado.

lol I hate how he always tries to be all that just because he’s from the states.  His English isn’t even that good.

well there are positive southern rappers for the most part who rap about collard greens and hard times and BBQ’s , don’t forget Rosa Parks by OutKast which is the best song evah….hey folks Crown J is in Korea and who is going to tell him he isn’t doing his thing it’s not like there is an influx of southern born asians that are hard core rap fans telling him what time it is. They wouldn’t know the difference

The funny thing is Crown J actually came to Atlanta and filmed a ghetto video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwF64VQYjaY&fmt=18

do u even listen to hip-hop or do u just listen to the music on the radio? if u stay listening to the radio then yea all u r gonna get crap shitted out by dumbasses that everyone thinks is catchy. (ex. soulja boy, v.i.c, young berg, lil wayne, etc.) its just unfortunate coincidence that most of the wack artists come from the south. before you talk about the “hip-hop history class” that you took. go listen to some real hip-hop first.  outkast, scarface, ugk, the clipse, ludacris, old-school Too $hort, are all classic southern artists that are legends in their own right. listen to their music and LYRICS because they got both. if the first artist that comes to mind when someone says “classic southern artist” is lil jon then you dont kno shit about hip-hop and you cant say shit about hip-hop.

@ shnozzberryAKAscubakris - quit making assumptions, retard. I AM from the south and I probably hear the shit more than you do.

I am from the south and I didn’t know going to Kroger, waffle house or H-mart meant anything, I live in ATL but am from SC originally , the only rapper we have from the Carolinas is Petey Pablo urhmmmm, take yo shirt off and wave it round ur head like a helicopter?

Yea, he is a Wankster (I just found out that means “Wannabe Gangster”!!lol) but he’s very very sexy. So that’s cool. Thug appeal is sexy, especially on Asians, Latinos, and Blacks.

i dunno whose more of an herb, crown J or the nerd who thinks he knows hip hop because he took a “history of hip hop” class.
let me guess, Diddy was your professor?

I love Crown J!! I only knew him at the single call Too much about 2 or 3 months ago! He’s cool in my opinion..Don’t care if he’s trying to be something he’s not like other people said! hah

Also I don’t know much about hip hop history anyway!! I just like his sounds.

@saemo…
Believe me honey if Diddy was his professor , he would be an asian Mase or would be more east coast in his sound and Diddy don’t play , ya’ll should know that by making the band. He’ll send ur butt packing in a minute if you’re not up to standard.

one more thing sorry…why does he have that coat on , is he saying he’s a soldier , cause Mystikal would say differently.. I’m out that bootcamp click I got my rifle and my rucksack…lol

@Pyehalove

wtf are you talking about kid? i was asking if Diddy was the professor of the “history of hip hop” class that the author of this article took.
and please don’t tell me you’re trying to defend diddy. Diddy don’t play? get off his nuts idiot, diddy’s little show has nothing to do with hip-hop in any way, shape, or form. it’s simply another marketing ploy he uses to promote his little hip-POP groups.

i love it when fcking “Top 40” hip-hop heads try to act like they know a lick about hip-hop. get your shit straight kids

@saemo
I was actually joking around man. I don’t listen to the top 40’s hip hop. I listen to Jungle Brothers, Tribe called Quest, MJG, OutKast.. ect you know early 80’s to early 2000 stuff.

I was coming from a standpoint saying that if “Diddy” picked him up or taught him anything his sound and persona would be totally different.No need to cuss at me.
