Unpopular opinion: G-Dragon is overhyped as a rapper

Very very unpopular

SAY IT LOUDER

i disagree but each to their own...

i'm not going to hate you just because you liked or disliked someone's rap

Quote from yeet-me

Don't kill me

can I yeet you instead?

I love him idc

It's not an unpopular opinion though, it's been said about him since forever

I disagree

big bang as a whole is overhyped af. i never saw the crazy stage presence their fans claim they have. screaming into the mic is not stage presence. neither gd nor top are that much better than most idol rappers, though they might win out is lyricism, i don't know enough about their work to critique them there.

Quote from Versatile

Gdragon raps very well and always has.

People just suddenly like it when rappers go overboard. And over exhaust their voice

Gdragon is a good ballance. He aint overrated he is underrated ever since this new era of tryhard rap has come in.

This is the statement I agree with :)

both his rapping and his singing are overrated

Stage presence is subjective, but they do a hell of a lot more than screaming into the mic. And if you think T.O.P. and gd are the same as many idol rappers than you have either never listened to most idol rappers, or you haven’t listened to them.

I vote for Ree because I don't know what Ree is but I love GD as an Artist/Idol he was born to be on stage.

i used to be a big bang stan in 2012 and i have listened to releases from many bottom tier to top tier groups from 2nd gen onwards. its factual that there isn't much that makes gdtop that much better than most idol rappers. i never said they were bad, and i also don't think every idol rapper is straight up bad. i mean, especially not when there are idol rappers like bts' rappers. flow, diction, tone. neither top nor gd particularly excel in any of these things for me to place them on any sort of pedestal above most idol rappers. idol rappers who are just absolutely terrible are a different story. but that is kind of a rare case imo. most boy groups especially these days have rappers who actually enjoy rapping to some degree and are not completely skilless.

I don't think he is overhyped as a rapper. He has a unique style of rapping and he executes it really well. No one is claiming he is the greatest rapper, but the way he performs his raps is what really draws people to him.

I agree, absolutely nothing differentiates them from “risky risky wiggy wiggy” and “Shawty imma party to the sundown”. In fact, I would argue that the pure joy I get listening to those lines negates anything gdtop do for me. And before you argue those are anomalies in kpop, I think you’ll find that in fact, that is the norm in kpop. There are some better rappers yeah, but bts is not the norm for rapping, just like exo and b1a4 are not the norm for singing.

huh? didn't i already say i wouldnt say anything about their lyricism..? i was talking about rap SKILL, hon. and if you have nothing to say in regards to that it just proves my point. and gdtop have plenty of cringey lines too so whats your point exactly??

this is a very popular opinion, not unpopular at all
