Jessi x Cheetah x Kangnam – My Type (Audio)

Jessi x Cheetah x Kangnam – My Type (Audio + Lyrics)

Jessi (from Lucky J) x Cheetah x Kangnam (from M.I.B) – My Type

Reviewed on March 28, 2015

Personal Message: Firstly, it has been a while since I have written anything; if I am accurate, a review on BESTie’s “I Need You,” my latest writing, was 5 days ago (and this is in perspective to the time I wrote this sentence). Though it does take time for reviews to get published, I generally devote some time, even if minimal, to write every day. This may also be perhaps why I have felt “lacking” these past few days, and in some ways, unable to relieve stress. Explaining the absence, however, I have been finishing shows, such as “Channel Fiestar” catching up on schoolwork, and considering I had to write a bit for that, it allowed me to properly transition into reviewing. On a highly unrelated note, I am currently using Times New Roman as the font for reviews. However, when this review becomes published, sadly or not, the font will not translate over. Nevertheless, I can see why this font is considered a standard (or at least for MLA format); long-term and long session writings can be rather eye straining, but Times New Roman is easier on the eye for whatever reason (personally, the concise appearance helps). At the very least, even if that is not the reason for why the font is considered the standard, writing reviews with the font does allow my eyes to become highly accustomed to it, and thus, academic related works will feel more natural and friendly versus occasionally feeling highly alien.

Progressing past technical digressions, as mentioned in my previous review, a special one will take place: a review on Korean Hip Hop. Though this may be the first K-Hip Hop song reviewed, it is not the first I have listened to; even if I do not actively listen to it as much as K-Pop or ballad, I still highly enjoy songs of this genre. In focus of “My Type,” the song’s format of combining standard singing and rapping is highly seducing, and, biasedly speaking, one of the best forms of Hip Hop. Continuing with the song and, in truth, something I should have mentioned at the very start, I will throw a profanity warning: “My Type” does utilize words that can be deemed offensive and inappropriate, and though I am incredibly certain that practically every reader is of a mature enough age or mentality to understand the used language, a few may be highly uncomfortable and thus, I will deliver this warning. The audio links I used, a standard audio and a lyrics video one (I have not truly checked the accuracy of the lyrics, but I am certain it is accurate) do not censor out the words. Nevertheless, to offer my personal stance regarding the language, firstly, it is highly minimal (in fact, it is solely 3 occasions) and not derogatory and exaggerated; this song does not utilize certain words on the sole basis of instilling shock, but rather, to deliver a specific tone and meaning.

On that note, swearing, while personally uncomfortable, can be highly effective, and with situations where it is deemed effective, I am willing to accept it. The issue with swear words is their overuse and misuse; too often an unnecessary curse is attached to every sentence, and in combination, certain words that are highly demeaning are used. However, swear words are not entirely out of place, and in specific scenarios, are the most pressing words possible. For example, claiming the porn industry f***s females, literally and figuratively, can be vastly more potent than other phrases. In fact, even males are equally damaged and f***ed by what the porn industry promotes. Though I will not dive into that discussion as of this time, if a reader is highly curious on my take of pornography, I would love to discuss it as, due to obvious reasons, it is seldom discussed which, however, contributes to its effectiveness of promoting certain negative ideas. Overall, on the topic of swearing, it is not entirely bad as long as it is within boundaries. As a final example, one that is to a lighter degree than the former, swearing to bring in humor and personality is highly more effective than the general use of swearing relentlessly for absolutely no purpose other than perhaps improperly expressing anger.

Now to truly focus on the K-Hip Hop song of “My Type,” readers may recognize it as it is an OST from the rapping competition show, “Unpretty Rapstars.” If not that, those familiar with AOA will most likely recognize the show as the group’s leader, Jimin, is participating in it. Though I have yet to watch an episode, it seems enticing in terms of the raps heard. Truthfully speaking, though my heart should be with Jimin and hoping for her to win, I confess, Jessi has been the rapper I have been supporting the most. Perhaps since Jessi is “My Type” as I am utterly captivated by her voice and personality has showcased phenomenal rapping skills, and additionally, from outside of “Unpretty Rapstars,” equally outstanding singing (she is in the group Lucky J; “Can You Hear Me” is an impressive song by the men and lady), she has won my support. Ignoring my personal stances on who I wish wins the competition, all the participants are highly talented, and I am glad “Unpretty Rapstars” brings spotlight to the ladies who, though exceptionally talented, are, ironically, exceptionally unrepresented in general media.

With the subject of under representation, before entirely discussing that, I will first bring attention to the rap show’s title: “Unpretty Rapstars.” Though I do not know the technicalities of the show and how the competition is even conducted (I have only watched the rap performances), as mentioned, I appreciate its idea of bringing in female rappers as they are highly ignored (discussion on this later). However, in terms of the title, I would have preferred the show being called “Pretty Rapstars” or even simply “Rapstars.” While the current title can be seen as a form of satire, bringing in its ultimate message in a direct manner would, biasedly, seem more effective. Currently, “Unpretty Rapstars” is coined as such due to challenging the general consensus of how the rappers attending, or more accurately phrased, female rappers, and actually even more precisely, females in general, are “unpretty” due to not following societal expectations. Specifically for the show, many of the participants are rendered as “unpretty” due to drifting away from society’s general idea of a lady being “pretty”; the rappers are swearing, dissing one another, acting bluntly, and more, and interestingly, those types of behavior, through socialized concepts, causes the rappers to be classified as “unpretty.” Tracing back my initial argument, the show, while its satirical approach is not necessarily wrong, could have labeled the show as “Pretty Rapstars” in order to give a more direct message on how, despite the participants acting in ways that society deems unfit for females, are still, as the would be title, “Pretty.” Current ideas on “pretty” are highly tunnel-visioned, restrictive, and overall, simply false and used to further oppress females. As long as one is simply a female, or even a male, a human should have the automatic luxury of being deemed “pretty”; gender standards and gender behavioral expectations should not be utilized for defining who is pretty or not. Instead, the character of a person should be the determining factor, not gender or even other characteristics such as race.

Returning to the topic of female rappers being under represented, though I lack statistics as of now, I am dangerously confident that there is data unequivocally proving that more rappers presented in media are male than females; even without data, off the top of my head, truly, without “Unpretty Rapstar,” I would be unable to name any female rapper that is in the K-Hip Hop genre or a solo rapper (I am excluding regular group rappers such as AOA’s Jimin, Sistar’s Bora, Nine Muses’ Euaerin, for a few). For example, Mad Clown, Iron, and Verbal are a few K-Hip Hop artists, all of whom are male. Without “Unpretty Rapstar,” no female rapper or K-Hip Hop artist comes to mind. Of course, this does, very sadly, translate elsewhere besides music. Sports are a prime example; though personally speaking I am incredibly ignorant on sports and could not name a single athlete, male or female, I still have the ability to claim this: more males athlete are showcased in media than females (and though earlier I was speaking in perspective to Korean media, for sports, I will be in the perspective of American media).

Now, as for why I am mentioning this disparity, a large motivation is such; people, male and female, have become blinded to an androcentric society. It has become entirely normalized for males to dominate the screens, jobs, authoritative positions, and more. Sharing an incident with a friend (and as always, I am not here to antagonize, but rather, to seek improvement and learning), a highlighting example of society’s general blindness toward gender disparity was seen: in a quick summary, as a reply for how I claimed females needed more spotlight, even if it meant males disappearing, I was told “So to fix the issue, men should no longer be allowed to star in films and that females should take over media.” In defense of him, my phrasing was rather harsh itself, but the idea of the reply is what I desire to scope in on. Rather than claiming males should no longer have the ability to appear in media, simply equaling out the field so that both genders are equally represented, and equitably represented, if the latter phrase is correct, is the goal. Quantity and quality of both genders should remain fair; females and males should possess equal spotlight, and in those spotlight durations, the equitable component should also be applied to ensure that neither gender is seen as inferior since equal time does not necessarily equate to equal, proper depiction.

Tying into why this all matters, and to relate back the review, as mentioned, many female rappers, many with incredible talent, are simply not receiving spotlight due to society concluding as a whole that male rappers are more intriguing. This notion is what deserves to be challenged. Too often, males remain the highlight. As an overall message, branching beyond the delivered message of “male, male, male, male” and diversifying current consumed media should be in mind. For example, rather than solely watching and caring of male sports, placing effort to follow female sports is vital. For those equally ignorant of sports as me but are in favor of music, having a mixture of female and male artists is necessary. Regardless of the activity, media related or not, that willingness to accept difference and to acknowledge difference is incredibly crucial and, overall, an effective way to dismantle a male centered society to one that welcomes any gender, and ultimately, person. After all, feeding into solely male dominated artists, movies, and such, simply  perpetuate the current trend of an androcentric society, and thus, drifting away from such will be a form of challenging it.

Now before truly discussing the song of “My Type,” I do apologize if I remained highly incoherent with my points, which were of many. Though the delivery of the ideas may be horrendous in credit to my writing, I nevertheless hope readers take a few moments to develop a personal opinion and stance regarding the ideas. But as promised, it is truly time to focus on the K-Hip Hop song of “My Type.” 3 artists are involved for the track: Jessi, from the 3-membered group of Lucky J, Cheetah, a vicious animal with rapping, and Kangnam, a member from M.I.B. Both Jessi and Cheetah are participants of “Unpretty Rapstars.” Although my review structure, as discussed in my previous review of BESTie’s “I Need You,” is calibrated for solely K-Pop songs, I will experiment with K-Hip Hop. From mentally processing it, I expect it to work well, but I will leave a disclaimer of how it may not smoothly work out. Despite the risks, however, “My Type” is a solid song that showcases rapping and singing of a high standard, and for many readers, a new genre on the blog is welcoming.

With that said, while “My Type” is Jessi, an incredible singer and rapper with an amazing voice and attitude may be one of the rappers from the rap show, readers will always remain “My Type” for who I truly and dearly love the most.

Song Score: 7/10 (7.2/10 raw score) – “Above average”

– Vocals: 8/10 – Beginning with the rappers, both Cheetah and Jessi deliver infatuating vocals. Though their vocals are in the form of rapping, many appealing aspects still hold: a flowing, diverse melody, and most promisingly, both power and pacing constantly fluctuating, arguably due to the benefit of rapping form. In focus of the power and pacing, Cheetah and Jessi’s rap presented welcoming variation; every rap section possesses its own scale of power or pacing, and even inside a single rap section itself, both aspects remain diverse and commonly altering. With Cheetah and Jessi continually modifying miniscule factors, be it their rate of rapping or exerted strength per line, their vocals retain high appeal throughout the song. Transitioning to Kangnam, although his form of vocals is standard singing, like the rappers, his vocals still remain admirable. Homogenous to the ladies, Kangnam’s singing remains highly alluring in regard to melody as various notes are used. Furthermore, although his pacing and power remain relatively unchanging, with the style of the song, the instrumental, and even the vocals from Jessi and Cheetah, lacking in those categories is miniscule as other factors compensate. Therefore, with Kangnam prioritizing his tune, for “My Type” as a whole, multiple layers to enticing vocals are covered.

An 8 will be the rating. Solid vocals exist individually, but for what matters the most, in unison, the vocals are impressive.    

– Sections: 7/10 (7/10 raw score)

Introduction, Chorus (Half), Rap, Chorus, Rap, Chorus, Rap, Conclusion (Half Chorus)

1. Introduction: 7/10 – Though a more accurate breakdown of the song would be to label each rap section separately, for the purpose of consistency between reviews, I will unfortunately have to mesh the raps as one overarching section. That said, this does reiterate and prove how my review structure mainly suits K-Pop. In terms of the introduction for”My Type,” Jessi handles it.

Structurally, though quite short, the introduction accomplishes its purpose effectively and efficiently. Firstly, glancing at the instrumental, with the main, heaviest bass and the twinkling, lightest sound being the sole two components used, many benefits are gleaned: the tone and style is set, a point of easy transition and progression exists, and ultimately, a grasping effect as the soundtrack is appealing enough yet not overly revealing. Additionally, addressing the section’s structure on the vocals level, the typical K-Hip Hop style appears: Jessi offering statements versus rapping or singing. Though the mechanical aspect will be addressed, structurally, identical to the instrumental, preserving true singing or rapping further amplifies the introduction’s grasping aspect; genuine singing/rapping has yet to occur, and thus, luring in listeners becomes an outcome, a desired one as the main purpose of a song’s introduction is such.

On the mechanical side of the section, despite being moreover conserved, the section still proves to be sonically pleasing. The soundtrack showcases a catchy, soothing bass line along with a lighter sound, and though both are individually respectable, the real beauty resides with their contrast; the deeper, heavier bass sharpens the lighter sound, and expectedly, the opposite holds true with the lighter sound emphasizing the warmer, vibrating bass. In terms of the vocals, with being simple statements, they do slightly falter. Nevertheless, her voice remains energetic to promote some appeal.

Above average will be the rating for the introduction. The structure remains exceptionally impressive as preservation of both vocals and instrumental create anticipation, but sonically, the introduction does slightly languish due to the vocals being regular speech.

2. Chorus: 6/10 – Kangnam is responsible for all the choruses.

Diving into the stronger aspects of the choruses, from a sonic perspective, the choruses are solid. Kangnam’s singing individually remains captivating due to its melody, but once accounting for the instrumental, the choruses as a whole become even more pleasing. The rhythm that emanates from the instrumental is reflected in the vocals as Kangnam’s pacing follows a similar pattern. Furthermore, though little deviation occurs in terms of Kangnam’s singing, due to following the smooth, rhymatic trend of “My Type,” despite the lack of variety, his vocals hold well as complementing the instrumental’s flow augments the overall singing.

For the structure, with somewhat linear singing and a rather lengthy duration for a chorus, dullness would seemingly be an issue. However, as a slight remedy, certain details are added as attempts to prevent that. A prime example would be the addition of background vocals; throughout the choruses, the voices of Jessi and even Kangnam are heard in order to create some layering, and thus, some variety for the somewhat undeviating structure. Overall, unfortunately, the structure does remain highly stagnant. Though the lengthier duration may be the most prominent factor to blame, with “My Type” being K-Hip Hop, a rhymatic, consistent flow is the standard style, and with that mindset, the structure does perfectly suit.

Slightly above average, due to consistency of reviews, will have to be the score. But, bearing in mind “My Type” is a K-Hip Hop song, the structure is excellent as it remains constant, and as a result, effective for allowing the song to deliver its rhythmic flow.

3. Rap: 8/10 – Both Cheetah and Jessi rap, and rather than gauging them individually, I will combine both of their rapping for reviewing.

After watching multiple performances from these artists, their excellence in “My Type” is of no surprise. Also, for those curious and, hopefully, without spoiling anything for those who have yet to find out, one of these ladies did win the show. Focusing on the song, mechanically, the rap sections are phenomenal. The raps remain, unlike the choruses, diverse with multiple aspects. For one, the pacing shifts around from slower to average for both Jessi and Cheetah. Different portions of their raps change in pacing, and through that, high appeal is kept as the flow continually transforms. Additionally, the rappers’ melody are equally delightful. The tune of their raps reflect the rhythm of the instrumental, and furthermore, the power placed in fluctuates when emphasis is necessary, such as with Cheetah’s parts.

Switching to the raps’ structure, being a rap, the sections remain privileged with automatically being impressive and fresh; with rapping following beats and rhythm moreover than tune, flexibility is gained and thus, every section has the potential to not be akin to a previous rap. In “My Type,” that holds true. An example: Jessi’s rapping significantly differed from Cheetah’s; Jessi’s rap followed a slower, lower noted style than Cheetah’s which was prioritizing pacing and the fluctuation of such. Nevertheless, each rapping sections remain different from the rest, and on the individual level of every rap itself, practically every group of lines hold their own unique traits.

An 8 will be given. Solid rapping exists in “My Type,” as expected considering the talent of the rappers.  

4. Conclusion (Half Chorus): 7/10 – With half of a chorus finishing out the song, Kangnam is in charge.

Mechanically, the same points as mentioned earlier translate over. Therefore, rather than extensively focusing on the sonic component, peering at the structural piece will be what occurs. With that, the conclusion for “My Type” is highly suiting. Firstly, cutting the chorus and utilizing the second half is highly beneficial; the full chorus would have been too lengthy and counteractive to concluding as it would be elongating. Secondly, using the chorus versus a rap as the closing section is vastly more suiting. With the rap sections, spikes and fluctuation occurs commonly, and though that is enticing, it does not grant the same concluding effect as the chorus does; the chorus follows a linear, calmer path, and as such, it naturally holds as a desirable end. Furthermore, with the final lines involving “My Type” as lines, a final, lasting impression is left.

Above average will hold as the score. Mechanically, the final chorus is decent, and structurally, highly respectable.

– Line Distribution: 7/10 – With solely 3 members involved, a free 10 might be given.

Jessi’s part involved the introduction and two rap sections. 3 sections will be her total quantity, and considering her spotlight is sufficient, no issues should exist.

Cheetah follows a similar amount, but unlike Jessi, she lacks the introduction. 2 sections is her count, and while that is seemingly low, accounting for the length of her raps, adequate time is granted.

Lastly, for Kangnam, concerns do exist. In terms of the number of sections, 4 sections is the total as there were 4 choruses. Furthermore, with the full choruses being rather long, excessive time does become apparent.

With Kangnam slightly possessing additional time than the rest, a 10 will not be earned. If the choruses were reduced down to the half versions, this issue would be miniscule. Above average will be the score due to the disparities that exist. The distribution is not entirely bad, but the current issues could certainly be alleviated.  

– Instrumental: 7/10 – As noted throughout the Sections section, the instrumental possesses a significant role for “My Type.” The flow and rhythm of the song derives from the instrumental, and the vocals rely upon it. The singing that occurs follows the flow given by the instrumental, for example, and the rapping follows suit with pacings and even emphasis matching accordingly to the instrumental. Mechanically, the soundtrack on its own proves to be decent. The bass line and beats are catchy and soothing, and once complemented with the vocals, even more so. The instrumental, overall, serves as a foundation for both the structure and sonic components; the overarching tone and tune of “My Type” stems from the instrumental.

Above average will be the score as the instrumental is both solid on its own and vital for the features it provides for the song.

– Meaning: 7/10 – “My Type” instills thoughts of a flirtatious story; after all, it seems to be that a lover has found “[their] type.” To compare current assumptions to what is depicted, these Korean-to-English translated lyrics will, hopefully, provide a check. As always, the lyrics are not 100% accurate:

Unpretty Rapstars
Let me ask you all a question
What’s yo’ type baby, come on

I like it when you’re specific, tell me everything
You can be mean, it’s alright, it’s alright girl
The speed when we’re walking together,
clothes that you don’t want me to wear
Tell me without leaving anything out, girl every little thing
I’m confident enough

What I need, man? A big balle’
Boss man? Dude is shot calle’
I need a smooth ride, a stallion
My blood is rushing
The temperature has risen
Obedience, come here and kiss me
My neck and my legs,
softly touch me
I’m the queen
Treat me well tonight
Put it on my dry back, baby lotion

I like it when you’re specific, tell me everything
You can be mean, it’s alright, it’s alright girl
The speed when we’re walking together,
clothes that you don’t want me to wear
Tell me without leaving anything out, girl every little thing
I’m confident enough
‘cause I’m your type
I’m different from other guys
I know what you want
more than anyone else you know
Even your smallest preferences, so give me a chance
Give me a chance right now
You are my type,
my type, my type, my type
And I’ll be your type

My ideal type is someone with more sex appeal than me
Even if I don’t say it, a guy who shows me through actions
Rather than the bas****s who are all about talk,
like a bas**** who pulls my hair so I can’t even look at other guys
You wanna check it?
I’ll raise my white flag to a guy like that
My hobby is stealing boys who don’t even know this is about them,
who are next to strict girls

I like it when you’re specific, tell me everything
You can be mean, it’s alright, it’s alright girl
The speed when we’re walking together,
clothes that you don’t want me to wear
Tell me without leaving anything out, girl every little thing
I’m confident enough
‘cause I’m your type
I’m different from other guys
I know what you want,
more than anyone else you know
Even your smallest preferences, so give me a chance
Give me a chance right now
You are my type,
my type, my type, my type
And I’ll be your type

Even without NASA/nails, with his own power, regardless of day or night,
someone to take me to space
I’m not talking about nails that you tighten or loosen, that’s what I do
Don’t worry
Now put your guns up no more frontin’
Show me baby let me see what you packin’
Body language, body body language,
call my body, get rid of the other b****

‘Cause I’m your type
I’m different from other guys
I know what you want,
more than anyone else you know
Even your smallest preferences, so give me a chance
Give me a chance right now
You are my type,
my type, my type, my type
And I’ll be your type

Correctly predicted, a romantic story is unveiled. A man and a lady are interested in one another, but also, perhaps not interested in one another. Offering my interpretation of the story, a man and a lady are, assumingly, flirting with one another. The man claims he is “confident enough” to receive feedback from her and likes “it when [the love-interest] is specific.” In fact, he is willing to even tolerate her being “mean” as “it’s alright.” As for why he is willing to have the love-interest make remarks on “the speed” of them “walking together” or even his “clothes that” the love-interest loathes, it is due to desiring her to “give [him] a chance” as she is his “type.” Swapping to the lady’s point of view, she offers her type: a “shot calle.’ “ She desires a boy who will be worthy like a “smooth ride,” and though she desires someone who has the confidence and such to be a “shot caller,” “obedience” to her is necessary as she is “the queen.” Additionally, other details are expressed in regard to her “ideal type,” such as it being “someone with more sex appeal than [her]” and a boy who shows “through actions” than words.

Though the concept of the lyrics is not necessarily intriguing, the amount of details implemented compensates. Above average will be the score. The overall story still simply reflects a standard flirtatious one, but with multiple details stemming from predominantly the first two raps and first half of the choruses, it becomes engrossing.

– “Critical Corner”: While the lyrics may be highly romantic, places worthy of critically deconstructing still exist. From memory, as discussed in multiple reviews (I have lost track of specific ones), the choice of entirely personally changing to accommodate someone is not wise. In “My Type” ‘s story, the male may be sweet, but simultaneously, is overly investing himself into his love-interest, which, in the long term, could prove to be destructive for their relationship. Simply put, it is better for someone to be hated on the premise of who they are than to be loved on the premise of who they are not. Therefore, in this song’s situation, the man, while he should be willing to adjust for his love-interest, should not overly change his entire being in order to suit her preferences.

For another subject, and one that would be highly absorbing, with the song’s related idea of flirting, gender roles has come across my mind. More in-depth discussion will take place in my next review, and once published, many will understand why such a discussion would exist, but as for now, to digress upon this topic and to relate it to flirtatious topics, gender roles should not dictate how flirtatious or dating scenarios are conducted. For a very simplistic example, the concept of who should initiate first, whether it is for proposing or paying, should not come down to gender. Though I am yearning to discuss more deeply, to leave an overarching idea, the issue with gender roles is they are not natural.

Now, a reader may bring up the “alpha male” argument, but I will offer my rebuttal of how humans are the least natural creatures ever. Furthermore, by utilizing the “alpha male” argument, it is belittling humanity to exactly such: creatures; the “males naturally take lead in the wild” idea places an assumption that humans are not yet past surviving, natural instincts when we certainly are. After all, for those who are reading this, I will reassure readers that no animal in the wild reads off a technological screen. The idea of “natural” is simply utilized to reinforce current, unfair beliefs in society, be it preventing females from obtaining a high position, perpetuating emphasis on physical beauty (a discussion on physical beauty and “naturalness” would be fascinating; I will save this for another time if I recall to), and more.

With this explanation proving why gender roles are incredibly unnatural, and instead, created by society, my next point will remain more clear and concise. With gender roles being concepts that humans have been socialized with, it means gender roles must be obtained and strived for. However, blatantly, gender roles are not necessarily friendly and leave people rather prone to feeling dissatisfaction. For example, males that are incapable of paying or initiating first suddenly feel “less of a man,” and for females, those incapable of remaining neat feel “less of a woman.” Now of course it is another topic to discuss in terms of why certain traits or behaviors have been socialized with a certain gender, but sticking to the current point, humans are diverse with behavior and traits. Gender roles are simply funnels for those diverse traits, and quite obviously, there are those who do not fit the established roles or do not desire to fit those established roles. This is where gender roles is harmful; forcing people to accept, and become, what society deems fit does not suit the reality of how every person is unique.

Cutting off the discussion here, as a final message to readers who read this portion of the review, conducting behavior on the sole basis of gender should not occur. Rather than paying for a meal due to being a male, paying due to being kind should be the mindset. And of course, for the female, paying for the meal should not be repulsive due to the idea of gender roles, and thus, being willing to do so due to being friendly should be in mind. Once more, my next review, assuming I follow my current schedule, will, hopefully, cover this topic more deeply.

_______________________________________________________

Choreography Score: X/10 – Being a rap and an OST, a dance is not expected. As a result, there is no choreography for “My Type.”

_______________________________________________________

Overall Score: 7/10 (7/10 raw score) – With the Song Score averaging out a 7, “My Type” by the trio of Cheetah, Jessi, and Kangnam finishes with a rating of “above average.” I entirely agree to the rating. The rapping is phenomenal and the singing is equally impressive. The main issue lies with the choruses becoming mundane after multiple playbacks. Nevertheless, “My Type” is a decent K-Hip Hop song.

As always, thank you very much for reading. This review did take only two days miraculously, perhaps in credit to writing for only 4 sections versus the usual 7 or 8. I have been highly slacking with reviews, even with extra free time. Schoolwork is currently where I allocate extra time, though I will do my best to ensure that reviews are improving in terms of their rate. Thank you very much for reading nonetheless, and for being patient.

For upcoming reviews, plenty are in mind but the next one will be one on an artist who went on her first solo: Minah, from Girl’s Day, with “I Am A Woman Too.” Readers may perhaps now understand why my digression above would relate to Minah’s song. After that review, a few male groups are in mind, and before I receive complaints as in the past (refer to my review on Dal Shabet’s “B.B.B”), I will cover them so that the blog remains diverse with groups. Another review that I will certainly cover, however, will be one on T-ARA’s Eunjung upcoming solo. Though no additional details have been disclosed, Eunjung will be returning with a solo which is highly exhilarating as, ignoring how T-ARA is one of my favorite groups and are ladies I incredibly admire, her singing carries a lot of potential for solo songs.

With this being the end, thank you once more for reading. I will attempt to improve my rate once work is cleared. Stay tuned and keep checking back for a review on Minah’s “I Am A Woman Too.” Despite how my writing may be mediocre, “give me a chance right now” since “you are my type” and reader.
