Dada is from Dadaism, a satirical art movement formed in negative reaction to the horrors of WWI. Doom is synonymous with destruction. The nuclear bomb, apes, and skeletons symbolize the extinction of humankind. It's a metaphor for how the world [mass media] tries to destroy a person's individuality, but their art will be preserved and used to inspire future generations (the apes discover a mic = T.O.P's music). The giant baby is the innocence of his artistic integrity. IDK the lyrics but this was my interpretation of the MV!
T.O.P is one of the rappers in Kpop with a unique style of rapping, his music videos are art, he is one of the most versatile artists in Kpop and very talented, so sad to realize that we might not be able to see T.O.P making music now or in future
His first solo album is in the works, TOP has been going back and forth in LA since early 2020 if im not mistaken, collaborating with top notch hollywood producers and musicians
*PETITION FOR T.O.P TO PERFORM THIS ON AN AWARD SHOW AT 2020 AND SAY "LONG TIME NO SEE, LONG LONG TIME NO SEE" KPOP WILL LOOSE ITS OXYGEN INCLUDING ME*
This is by far the hottest korean rap song, sung by THE best Korean rapper of all time. I mean come on. Sick flows, deep vocals, with that Visual. Sorry. No one come close to him. Period.
I don’t understand Korean people and idols, as far as I know, they never take TOP as their role model or idol of their music career or rap world. But, they follow TOP’s path, and transforming underground rapper to idol rapper. And the biggest thing is, every idol group has a member of deep voice and talented one responsible for rapper of this group. This is the blueprint of TOP. Why Korean are reluctant to admit that TOP is one of their inspirations.
True. I don't understand why. T.O.P is a genius, maybe idols really idolize GD because he has more solos and more active compare to T.O.P., bingu tabi has only 6 solos. I love GD but T.O.P is a genius in writing songs too, it's just sad that his not into solo.
@@ACChannel08 yeah, I agree with your point. May be he doesn’t have many solo songs and solo album. Actually, it’s enough to judge on his rap verse in Bigbang songs. So sad for TOP.
@@phoopwintkhine9004 He doesn't really care about solo album, hoping he will release a full solo album when he comeback. He teases us solos in his IG. Praying that it will be a solo ablum but if it's a subunit again with GD it's okay.
Siac Jayakarta NGL, from all the hype BTS got, I hoped they would be like a newer version of BIGBANG but the more I listen, the more I like BIGBANG 🤷♀️
Divina Commedia It’s such a mature take on flexing skills and showing personality and taste. I’m just floored every time I hear/see it, because he’s holding back, it really is about making a really good song - building and showing nuance, not so much about passing out from lack of oxygen, but he let’s us know he could go there. That’s how to stand the test of time.
This song is aging really well. It sounds good 10 years later and will still sound good in 10 years from now. It was very "out there", outside of the trends, which is a risky bet but in this case it paid off really well. TOP can be proud of what he achieved as an artist.
Thanks for this comment, just wanted to write that. It think this is one of the best tracks, and MVs, in K-pop. I am amazed how they planned harmonics on simple syllables in the chorus. Featured this track in my 2014 thesis. Interesting that the groups of that time mostly vanished and trends developed differently that I've been predicting.
Among all the BigBang members, TOP looks like one of those unbothered heir of an old money family so his taste are just as expensive and exotic and unexplainable but he enjoys his antiques. He looks unbothered but can likely kill if you get in his way.
Right?! Tho he actually IS a son of a rich and influential family, both in military and the arts. His father is high ranking military official, so it's rare to see him in public or photos with his family, while on his mother's side he has three known elders who are influential traditional artists in SK, one of them is Kim Whanki, pioneer of Korean abstract painting, whose painting you can see in this music video itself. Even everyone in his own family studied arts. Apparently T.o.p being in the entertainment industry was his form of rebelling back then. But as you can see in his works, he was able to reconcile his artistic roots and passion in music when he got older. That's just heartwarming.
I'm so so worried about him, he seems really sad lately and has said explicitly that he isn't okay. We as V.I.Ps need to do everything we can to support him and whatever decisions he may make. The number of Korean idols' deaths influenced by similar situations has been increasing frighteningly recently, and we need to make sure he is okay. We love you, T.O.P!
@@honhonhonbaguettes Thank you ! And yes ! VIP's are always for T.O.P ! And fore G-Dragon, and for Seungri, and for Daesung and for Taeyang !! VIP forever ❤❤❤❤❤
@@clfdclementine5215 I will always be here for T.O.P, GD, Daesung, and Taeyang. I have a fear that I cannot trust Seungri, but I will always support him if he truly is innocent. I don't believe he deserves the hate he has gotten, even if he did have something to do with these things.
@@marcusgunn2614 salvatore riina, joe masseria, joe profaci, russel bufalini and so on they're all overweight and ball and T.O.P. just looks like a model
@@lecampagnardfandestarwars5597 Yes, lol. I think we(VIPs) tend to get lazy with out periods sometimes(myself included). But he is most definitely Mr. T.O.P
i've been squeezing my brain since it came out and i finally understood what it reminds me.... it's the scene from the movie "2001 a space odyssey" a scene that interpretends "thus spoke zarathustra" about human nature into visualisation. TOP is truely a man of deep culture.
why is this so addicting ??? when i listened to this for the first time i thought this is a weird song but now my replay button broke xD Edit: when did my comment get 2700 likes ?! You're crazy 😂 xD
If you like that maybe consider checking out some BIGBANG songs ( the group in which T.O.P is part off) fantastic baby, fxxkt it, bang bang bang and and and are very good songs (live even better)
I will crying...and scream 'yess in deed been missing you TOoooppppp'...in case in their future concert you heard that scream in the crowd , it's must be me 🙋
T.O.P is not someone who needs our sympathy. No need to say poor baby. He knows what kind of art he wants to create and he create it without apology. Art cannot and should not be dictated by anyone. And if anyone believes that art is something confined and limited then please go study the history of the world's greatest artists! The playwrights, the poets, the musicians, the composers, the painters, the sculptors...the best of the best thought outside the box. They expressed emotions both light and dark, they explored the human psyche, and created works that evoked our imagination. T.O.P does just that. This man is an artist in every fiber of his body. So, to those expressing sympathy please save it. There is not a single member of BB who does not hold their own or express their artistic freedom. That is what makes BigBang a cut above the rest of kpop. Good day all of you. VIPs here's to us and here's to BB and here's to our Tabi!
The person doesn't even know what GD and TOP look like. They mixed up their parts in the mvs think they are the same person. Lol when some doesn't even have correct info or basic facts they should not speak as if they are stating facts.
@@ribbitlillypad7846 correct! If that comment had been submitted in my class as a response it would have red marks all over for failing to make sense, use reliable information, using incorrect examples, and not even knowing the subject of their comment. My students learn how to properly and correctly submit a response that is an opinion.
I still remember that one time when they performed in the Japan Dome. It was like a live band when Seungri was DJ and he remixed all their songs into one. And when it was Tabi's turn, we literally sang the whole "Long Time NO see" part. That vibe was sthg magical. I've never experienced that in any other concerts I've been too. I'm sure the video is still here on RU-vid somewhere.
Hi, I'm sure this is the video you've been looking for. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TWbXnP9zac.html Have a look first. Y'all so lucky to have experienced a whole package concert like that.
I miss the fans that would have in depth conversations about the song and mv and talk about things that they liked. Nowadays people just say things like mentioning looks, bringing other groups down, and making jokes or stupid comments to get likes
@Sherloft Love I still remember him winning an award on one of the weekly music shows when it came out and there wasn't even any promotions for it. Neither did he perform it on the show. So glad he at least performed it in MAMA that year. This song is such a gem.
The day before T.O.P’s enlistment his song “Doom Dada” reached #1 on Melon chart. What a beautiful way for us fans to say goodbye to him! V.I.P's are the best!
