@@andei917 I am aware of that, but I meant my question rhetorically. Here, it sounds like he intentionally make it sound more like the n word (which if youre not Black, you should be using "n-word") than 니가. There is subtle difference in pronunciation but too often, especially in Korean rap since it is emulating Black American rap they get away with saying the n-word disguised (but not well) as 니가. 니가 = nee-ga, nae-ga n-word= nih-ga listen again and you will hear the difference. although most people don't care that it's disrespectful...
@@jayzee7867 First, you've just said that most people don't care bout it. Then it manifests that this is not a such serious thing. This is the problem among languages. According to your insistence, every people in KR can't use '니가'(which doesn't related to N word at all, just Korean)because it makes black people feel uncomfortable. Second, this can BE a problem if he used '니가' intentionally as you said, but considering the lyrical context, your insistence that this sounds like he intentionally make it sounds more like the N word doesn't make sense at all. "Never ever, never ever judge a book by the cover 또 '니가' 가기로 한 길은 똑바로 걸어" which means 'Don't judge the things by their appearance and walk the road directly which 'you' decided to hit' I'm sorry but I can't find out any connection point between N word and '니가' in that passage. He totally used '니가' as a K language. "When I be on the mic, I spit like BIG, 선입견을 깨 비록 내 머리는 대머린 아니지만 rap 할 땐 흑인처럼 해" (When I be on the mic, I spit like BIG, I break the prejudice. Although I'm not bold but 'when I rap, it's like black') In this passage, he is mentioning about black people, but it's because he wanted to shout out the black rap('when I rap, it's like black') as this song sampled Big L. In addition, he's directly mentioning the Biggie to say respect. In conclusion, if you respect the language difference and don't cling to find something do not make sense, Korean rap won't make you feel like insulted. At first, Needless to say, regardless of whether you're rapper or not, it's forbiddened to say something discriminative in Korea of course. We're all aware about the racial discrimination is pervasive, and trying hard to vanish it.
@@Lord_Kanaloa Firstly, it does not follow that if "most" people do not care about something then it is not a serious matter. Do you even hear how that sounds? And who is arguing people in KR should not use their language? I never even implied that. It's just interesting that there is so much respect for Black music (artists) but all the respect appears to vanish once it comes to this issue that many Black people have voiced about. It is willful ignorance and disregard for a culture that is supposedly respected to not see or even empathize at all with the instances of people taking issue with KR rappers using 니가 conveniently to sound like the n word. The similarity between a 니가 and a terrible racial slur is an unfortunate coincidence, but given how much influence Black culture has there, it is a shame that the issue cannot be treated with tenderness instead of belittlement and treating it as nonsense. Please remember, that language respect goes both ways. But it can only be taken seriously if racism and concerns of marginalized people are taken seriously. And this is not case, except for maybe in words. Additionally, I believe when you say that it is forbidden to say discriminatory things but unfortunately that has not stopped so many people from saying and doing discriminatory things...have you seen the news and heard peoples' experiences? And by what measure is racial discrimination trying to be erased? I am not convinced given what lived experiences have show, but still, I deeply hope it can in fact be one day be the case. Thank you for engaging, hope you can be well.
@@jayzee7867 Yeah, I got It , but I think there's some misunderstanding. first, the opinion about the majority, of course we have to respect the minority, however you must reconsider if there are a lot of people who don't care bout that. I didn't say at all that the minority should be disregarded. So then, it DOESN'T POSE A ACTUAL PROBLEM. I'm repeatedly insisting that KR rappers DON'T USE N WORDS INTENTIONALLY because as a 'rapper', who respects the black culture, if they use it intentionally, they fucked up. And you said like "It is willful ignorance and disregard for a culture that is supposedly respected to not see or even empathize at all with the instances of people taking issue with KR rappers using 니가 conveniently to sound like the n word." THEY DON'T USE 니가 CONVENIENTLY TO SOUND LIKE THE N WORD. I suggest you to concentrate on something else instead of pinpointing at the KR rapper. You may wonder why the perspective about racial discrimination in KR is that tight, guess what. It's because we're Asian. We are also afflicted with the racial discrimination whole lotta time. I remember that language respect goes both ways, but "Do you even hear how that sounds" ? you acknowledge that it's a coincidence, and you say like "Do you even hear how that sounds" ? "who is arguing people in KR should not use their language?" it's you. that sounds same as that "KR word 니가, which means just 'you', it's pronounciation is same as the terrible discrimative word because of coincidence. but even though it doesn't mean like that, you should not use it because i feel bad about it!". Hey, of course, we don't use '니가' at Compton or somewhere else where they lives. Even if it's KR, it's a shame that we praise '니가' at their face. Same, you don't have right to argue about '니가' by KR rapper at the opposite side of Earth. and "It's just interesting that there is so much respect for Black music (artists) but all the respect appears to vanish once it comes to this issue that many Black people have voiced about." please give me some examples that black people voice about KR rapper's '니가'. Plus, when we apply the logic of majority, you must be skeptical if the minority (which maybe kinda radical) talks bout it. "I believe when you say that it is forbidden to say discriminatory things but unfortunately that has not stopped so many people from saying and doing discriminatory things...have you seen the news and heard peoples' experiences?" You're right. in fact in KR there's not that much problem about racial discrimination aobut the black people as i said but i guess, there's still some people in this Earth who don't stop their discriminative behavior. I wrote a column about George Floyd last month. I love Kanye West even though he's kinda maniac and have listened his all album. So, what i want to say is, just take it easy. As you said, there's lotta racial problem even it's not about KR rapper. I suggest you to hang on something else except this one, cuz i'm sorry but your insistence about '니가' is like...delusional. '니가' maybe sounds kinda aggressive , but i think it can't be a reason to blame. If i misunderstanded your stance please send a reply once more and thank you for reading.
