With the end of 'Show Me The Money Season 10,' it's time to look back at some of the best performances over the years. The fact that an audition program was able to even head to the tenth season is crazy in South Korea. The only other show that was even close was Super Star K, which ended at season 8. Even for Super Star K, the hype of the show died down after the fifth season and didn't really receive much mainstream attention for its final few seasons.
Show Me The Money, however, is different. It seems like the hype gets even bigger every season. This is probably most likely because hip-hop culture is becoming more and more relevant and mainstream in Korean culture. Even just ten years ago, hip-hop was considered pretty taboo, and it did not blow up like it has today. Show Me The Money has led to the creation of other hip-hop shows, such as Unpretty Rapstar or High School Rapper.
Let's take a look at some legendary performances that really rocked the stage and almost re-defined "K-hip-hop." Shall we begin?
