RAP:PUBLIC (2024) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
(This video contains explicit language.)
A secluded space, mysterious and unknown to the outside world.
This is the first society where only the sole survivor reigns,
RAP:PUBLIC.
In this place, where cooperation and competition coexist,
they can only decide their fate through a game
that uses rap as a weapon.
Here, those who have vowed
to take over RAP:PUBLIC have gathered.
Now, let me introduce the 60 members of RAP:PUBLIC.
This is a show where all contestants are crazy about rap.
Then I'll be the strongest. I'm glad that I'm here.
I think I'm the best among the newbies.
I don't care who my opponents are.
I'll end all of them.
I'll definitely turn this place into my darn world.
Hey, get lost.
You provoked me first.
I didn't provoke you, okay? For goodness' sake.
Just make a diss track.
I'm down with that.
To be honest, I don't trust you.
Politics, betrayal, scheme, and strategy.
Avoiding what that team is good at would be the best choice.
I think I raised a snake.
I think there'll be an insane betrayal.
I hate
Politics
and betrayal aren't accepted in the hip-hop scene.
Is it you?
It's my team. What a joke.
What a little snake.
You punk, I looked after you.
I want to let my emotions take over and beat him up.
Curl up your fist
- Go right ahead. - No!
No!
I have no choice but to do it. I need to save the team.
I gained a family here.
I was the one who messed up.
Why do they need to leave when I was the one who messed up?
All of us survived, for goodness' sake!
That's right.
What's wrong?
Don't cry.
Isn't this too much?
Darn it.
I really can't do this anymore.
This is really insane.
The rules are bleeding us dry. Seriously.
For them, only three rules are given.
First, form your own faction, the block.
Second, eliminate the other blocks and protect your own.
And third, the one and only goal.
Be the last block to survive and take over RAP:PUBLIC.
Please keep watching to see
what fate awaits them in the very end,
who'll be the last block to survive and be the winner.
Now, let us begin the game.
(RAP:PUBLIC)
This is the one and only society you establish with rap.
Welcome to RAP:PUBLIC.
This is a place where you'll survive using rap as your weapon
and a new society where your backgrounds will be reset.
In this society, you can protect yourself and your block
by attacking and defending by rap.
Strategies such as alliances and betrayals are allowed.
I guess being good at rapping isn't the only solution.
Someone could backstab me.
I was the one behind the first betrayal.
I didn't know that I'd get betrayed right away.
Backstabbing jerks need to be eliminated.
- I mean - Go back!
- Be quiet and go back. - He moved like a snake.
I'm here to take out a snake, for goodness' sake.
This wasn't the picture I had in mind.
I'll take him out next time.
I'll never go down.
Do you feel like the boss now you got an offer to join?
I'm getting a dopamine rush.
One block that survives through unity and competition
will receive the prize of 300,000 dollars
and become the first owner of RAP:PUBLIC.
Three hundred thousand dollars?
Three hundred thousand dollars? Okay.
Thank you for the prize.
I'll need to eliminate all the rapper behind me.
The process of individuals forming power
and gaining authority in society
begins by checking each other's skills.
Thus, we prepared this.
Are we starting right away?
We're jumping in without so much as a warning.
Why are there two microphones?
Most shows don't have a battle from the very start.
This is the first step of becoming a member of RAP:PUBLIC,
Mask Off.
During Mask Off,
you'll let go of any prejudices such as age, popularity, and gender.
You'll check each other's weapons and test the waters during a battle.
We let go of our popularity in society
and only compete with our skills in this system.
That means we can really be judged for our raps.
The rules are as follows.
The rapper who wants to start will take the stage
and accept another rapper's challenge.
When a rapper who wants to oppose the starter
comes up the stage, the battle will begin.
If you're like me right now
Ask me and find out
The result will be decided by the other rappers' votes
after the starter and opposer's performances end.
(The result will be decided by the other rappers' votes.)
Afterward, the winner
will receive the powerful authority to take off
the loser's mask.
It'll be the first authority
only the winners can enjoy.
This is getting interesting.
I'm beginning to get the picture.
I'll step on the others and advance.
Now, Mask Off will begin.
If you want to be the starter,
please come up to the stage.
He went up the stage right away.
What? Hey.
That's insanely cool. How did he go up right away?
Isn't he nervous?
He has guts.
Come on up.
- Gosh. - Yes.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
Good luck.
How cool.
Now, the battle will begin.
I'll rip off his mask.
I'll be the winner anyway.
I'm confident.
Ready.
Start.
All right.
What?
Roll on my cash, I dash forward without looking
I throw on an outfit and it has the style of Milano
We don't bow to the fakes, we open accounts instead
I'm Messi before the ball, so start recording without a word
Back in the day, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror
After wandering in the maze, I raise the white flag
Rap and push over the wall like a domino
Born to be a big man, I feel like Cobain
- Everyone was keeping quiet. - Eighty-two
- Was everyone still asleep? - Half of my line
Tattoo on my wrist
E style, my tobacco
Spanish talker, and estoy loco
Yes.
I'll go right away.
Hop out of the Genesis Coupe
It's time to move on, I know what to do
This alley continues to be dark and dirty
It's like the redevelopment block
I'll sweep everything off so that no one comes back
Don't you dare to come after me I'll knock out your breath
I used to be on the run
But I crush everything now I'm sipping it like juice
- Yes! - All right.
How did he get the rhythm so perfect?
Yes. Shout it out.
What is it? Yes.
Gotta go, put in that sweat
Gotta go, make it wave
Gotta go, make it rain
Because of the money that made me a savage
My life is still a race
I run like Tay-K, Ain't nothing safe here
Feel like I'm Tyreek, I aim for a touchdown
When I move, that's a hot place
The review mirror is still full
Their lights try to stop me
They can't even put a dent, rats are their nicknames
The most you can do is rap
You flinch, that's the reality
I don't even need to look because he's fake
That's why success is my thing
Just live like that, I'll check on my wrist
I'm the one, I'm the one, you're going to pass the crowd
I run for 24 hours like I'm Kobe Bryant
I was stuck in the mud, I'm going to take the spot
He said, "What are you going to do? Set the game this time"
Yes.
Let's go.
It's obvious who the winner is.
The battle has ended.
(The battle between Starter 2 and Opposer 43 ends.)
We will now begin the vote.
Please stand behind the rapper who has done better
in your opinion.
The vote begins now.
(The voting begins.)
The vote is now closed.
- Oh, no. - What?
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter loses with 2 votes. Opposer wins with 56 votes.)
(Opposer, number 43 wins.)
There's no one behind me.
(My goodness)
The rappers behind me split like the Red Sea.
It was cruel.
The starker the difference is between the skills,
the more cruel the picture will become.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper Two's mask.
(gamma)
(Lose: gamma)
It's gamma.
Gosh, it was so disappointing.
I didn't expect such a big difference
between the votes.
If I get another chance, I can slice him up.
I'd like to take off my own mask.
It's humiliating
to have someone else take off my mask.
I really don't want to lose.
The winning rapper, Rapper 43.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 43)
Take off your mask.
As soon as I heard his rap, I thought that he might be
(KHAN)
(Win: KHAN)
I could tell from his hairstyle.
Mask Off.
I won the battle with a score of 56 to 2.
I'm not nervous yet.
My goal is victory.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
If you want to be the starter, please come up to the stage.
Gosh, he was very fast.
Come on up, you losers.
What?
For goodness' sake.
He swore at us.
He swore right away.
His confidence is insane.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
I won't keep it long. I'll send you home.
Fight.
He swore at us. He called us losers.
It'd be strange to hear that and stand still.
I decided to destroy him.
It'll be fun. It'll be electrifying.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
You loser.
Your eyes tell me that you can't rap even if your life depended on it.
What a loser.
He began by swearing.
We have a pottymouth.
This is stressing me out.
I hope hip-hop will go under
All the rappers in Korea are doomed
They write comments with their faces covered
Because of this punk's mom joke, I lost all my upvotes
Korean hip-hop musicians are fighting on Instagram again
I'll go scratch them up, Let's go and attack them
Why would a rapper talk so much? This punk is all serious again
Say what you want with rap, you punk You get offended
Like a loser
- You get offended like a loser - He knows how to annoy someone.
Hip-hop losers, pipe down
Lee Chan Hyuk got you wiping down, Men's Tear got you wiping down
Keep going, fight now A traditionalist should shut it
Gosh, my comment is at the top What a dopamine rush
Hip-hop? I don't know Why should I care?
Just die, you know that's the only way to end this
My dopamine level is recharged I'll sleep with my feet stretched
Do I feel guilty? These punks can't see me anyway
All right.
- That was intense. - He's good.
I'll rip him apart.
Drop the beat.
What are you saying?
Do I look like a loser? Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
I won't keep it long You need more years of aging
Tone, lifestyle, rhyme The things you squeezed out
You're busy figuring out what's superior like the past me
You self-disrespect without knowing what's happening
I won't keep it long
- This is interesting. - I need more achievements
- It isn't because I'm good - He's taunting the opposer.
I live in an unjust society
I know that talent and success are two different things
I catch up with the tog dogs even if I must rip my legs
Let me be honest with you
You seem to be far from the truth
Your fake lyrics and jewelry get on my nerve
No, I simply accept what I can't change
Know that your antics won't work, my friend
But I know rap is still beautiful
Although I was born a nerd, I got the artisan groove
Move, if it gets on your nerve
If it gets on your nerve
Don't trust the faulty goods who pretend to be rappers
I won't keep it long Show me your limits
You can't beat me anyway
(The battle between Starter 1 and Opposer 31 ends.)
You know, the starter's laugh was too strong.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
The music needed confidence, but he got intimidated.
My opponent messed up a bit.
I think I'll win.
The vote is now closed.
(Starter wins with 41 votes. Opposer loses with 17 votes.)
(Starter, number 1 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 31's mask.
(O'Domar)
(Lose: O'Domar)
It's O'Domar.
It's O'Domar.
It's O'Domar.
The winning rapper, Rapper One. Take off your mask.
Who is it?
I had my eyes on him. I'm so curious about his identity.
(Kaogaii)
(Win: Kaogaii)
Kaogaii!
Kaogaii.
He rapped well with confidence.
He rapped with ease. It was no joke.
Spirit. Kaogaii has the spirit.
I'm Kaogaii,
and I'm here to take over RAP:PUBLIC.
My performance was very fresh. That's all.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
I want to perform early on, but I'm a bit nervous.
I'm thinking about performing early on.
If you want to be the starter, please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
He can jump well.
I didn't feel nervous at all when I got here.
I thought, "It'll be fun."
Hello.
Who wants to compete against me?
Please come on up.
It's Roh Yun Ha.
It's Yun Ha.
Roh Yun Ha.
Hello, everyone.
I'm here to crush the old rappers.
I'm Roh Yun Ha. It's nice to meet you.
(He placed 2nd on "High School Rapper 4.")
(He's the best among those who were on "High School Rapper.")
(He'll take over the Korean hip-hop scene.)
(He entered the semifinal of "Show Me the Money 11.")
(The monster rapper of the survival shows, Roh Yun Ha)
I have an advantage when it comes to rap battles.
It'll be embarrassing if I lose.
If you want to be the opposer, please come up to the stage.
He's too talented.
He's a bit of a scary opponent.
- My goodness. - Who could he be?
That's cool. That's really cool.
Everyone is brave.
I wasn't going to do this early on,
but my body took me here.
I heard his voice and recognized him as Roh Yun Ha.
Then I thought, "No one is going up the stage."
"If I beat him,"
"it'll be fun for the onlookers."
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's Roh Yun Ha.
Yes.
Twenty-twenty-four, it's on the season.
I can feel it, now, it's my time
Why? Punk, I always do well
Don't come at me, you'll be knocked down
Yes.
Press down, how you doin?
A greeting is a trick, a lot of fakes out
What do you want me to do? These punks sure talk a lot
Blah, blah, they always blame the system
Your rap tells me why this place is going down
Even when I put on a mask, people figure out who I am
You know how my flow goes, the source is clearly clear
Baby, I'm not a clone All of my words are stunning
The choice is yours, I'll cater to you if you want it
Yes
Don't waste it, I'm making money I need more commas, so tasty
I act like Hollywood, probably even stretching
Because it's my dream to be the GOAT It won't be easy
Fresh all the time, always giggling
I'm still 22, ain't no creaky
I make a move
- I'm like a bouncer - He's good.
This is my type, move out of the way if you know
It's game over if your rap makes people dance.
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time, I'm done
Roh Yun Ha!
He's really good.
He's energetic.
Give me the beat right away.
Yes.
Now, getting my hair dyed costs one percent of my monthly salary
All I need is one microphone Even if I win the lottery
Like Nucksal of 2015
The pessimistic and nerdy guy You envy my chromosomes
After my album became a hit, pressure built up deep in my heart
I'm going through a slump, but that's my catalyst
Who am I? I'm a blade that becomes sharp before death
Those who got defeated by us call me bad
AI can replace you Your chain is rusty, take that
Have an emergency meeting with Auto-Tune
Use meditation instead of pills from a psychiatrist
The game changer with the third eye
Please don't cry Your hands and feet are tied
Break the peace, if this is a movie, we're only at the trailer
I'll be on Wikipedia as the leader of the seventh-generation hip-hop
- Yes. - Take that
(The battle between Starter 10 and Opposer 28 ends.)
It was so cool.
He did really well.
It was neck-and-neck.
We will now begin the vote.
I don't know which one to choose.
Both of them did well.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
Is it a tie?
I think we'll see a tie for the first time.
No way. More people are on that side.
More people are on that side. Maybe I'm wrong.
(Starter wins with 35 votes. Opposer loses with 23 votes.)
(Starter, number 10 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 28's mask.
(skyminhyuk)
(Lose: skyminhyuk)
He's incredibly talented.
(With his album, "Liberation," skyminhyuk became a rising star.)
Had I done better
Had six more people come to my side
The winning rapper, Rapper Ten.
Take off your mask.
(Roh Yun Ha)
(Win: Roh Yun Ha)
I headbutted my opponent like the bull of Red Bull and won today.
I'll headbutt my opponent like a bull and win next time as well.
Yes.
(Mask Off continues on.)
Here's a big one.
He's so big.
He's the size of a fridge.
Don't play around with me, you bastard
Get some bangs and be pretty
I didn't even carry a backpack in my school days
But my account balance shows so many zeroes
Teachers asked me, "What will you do if you don't study?"
Come on out now
They looked at me and frowned
What?
For goodness' sake.
Turn off the beat.
What was that?
He did it again.
(Polodared)
He's well-known for it.
He was rapping on "Show Me the Money."
"For goodness' sake. Turn off the beat."
(His appearance on "Show Me the Money 10" went viral.)
(Turn off the beat!)
There's one thing in common, I say
To my side thing and my oppositions, "Drop yo' location"
Even if you guys know it, you can't copy and paste it
You can't even be my imitation
I'm going to knock one of you out and tuck you tight
- What? He's so good. - Good night, I be cooking so heavy
Somebody go and get me some Michelin stars
(Yang Kyle)
- Was he the winner of "RAPCUP?" - Yes.
They're going to find out who's a real rookie
Everyone's attention is on the rising star
The themed stocks are getting wiped out
But I'm keeping my balance
I've never taken a break, I've always been moving
Everyone became a sage like Rick Rubin
- My landlord, I swear - He's so good.
(Marv)
Marv.
You're cool.
I'm like a boxer because I need the hunnid round
- He was so good. I was shocked. - I'm like Lee Bong Ju
Because I always walk them down
- My songs are like a coup d'etat - He's good.
They make the whole town rise
I'm a controversial rapper, everyone falls for me
It was unbelievable.
- Yes. - I haven't seen him before.
They went, "He's on the rise these days."
(Tray B)
Tray B.
So there are talented rookies I don't know about.
(Lose: BBULKUP)
- BBULKUP. - BBULKUP?
BBULKUP?
- Isn't he a YouTuber? - Is he a YouTuber?
I think he is.
JOONIE?
JOONIE.
She's pretty.
- I think she's an idol. - She's pretty.
There was a variety of people.
Was she a foreigner?
(Drain K, JP)
(James An)
(DAMINI)
(Kang Hyuk)
(Kim Ga Yeon)
(VIIN)
VIIN.
- Kim Ryul. - Kim Ryul.
He's handsome.
There are so many rappers from various genres.
It'll be fun.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
If you want to be the starter,
please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
He took the stage right away.
Come up and beat me.
What?
What? Is it a provocation?
His spirit is impressive. Okay.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
He's built like a warrior.
Who could he be?
Don't get tight.
What?
I'm curious.
I knew that I was going to win
because nobody raps like me.
Now, the battle will begin.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Yo, everything dead, I'm smoking your fam
BIG YEL, we keep clicking
Yo, everything dead, I'm smoking your fam
BIG YEL, we keep clicking
Like a loser, you asked your friend if he knew Fleeky
CRAY and KAY, I hate oldies
I wonder you're dead, like I'm Stevie
No one can deny it, B, A, N, G, O, A, T, feel like Keke
I'll send all these rappers home
Hurry up and call the taxis like Jay Park
They said I wouldn't survive, but I show them my Day-Date
Hope out the V, hurry up and rob me if you can
You can't copy my swag, your album is a copy of mine
You keep falling and I keep rising
Feeling like I'm Kobe, 24, ain't no stopping
Celine and Prada and Fendi, I'm rocking
I never have beef with beggars
You can't reach my level
Like Jack Harlow, What's popping?
Everything dead, everything dead
Everyone's dead except for BIG YEL
KAY G, RUNNER, my boys, facts
I see an opp, CRAY, go blast
Fashion killer like Rocky, I have a party every night
You're 30 and broke
So you live with your mom, you're not Coogie
Losers, don't listen to my music Same goes for the oldies
Wipe your keyboard and mouse, you punk
You ended up that way because of your mom
He's good.
He changed, "Gang, gang, gang."
How did he hold it in?
He was good.
I thought that he'd win.
I don't know who he is.
Who is he?
I'm going to show you the real gang, gang.
Same number, who this?
My designer items are never fake My chopper is shiny
If I see you, then I really got you
Hold up, one minute, wait
You know you're a side piece like a side dish
Just one shot, one glass My chain looks like an apple
With my chopsticks, I eat you like soy sauce
Trap, car, honk, honk, honk
My chopper sings well, noraebang, bang, bang
Don't do it, you not a stepper, Don't go
Whip the work like kimchi, Like a middle-aged woman
Bro, sit down, sit down
I got the fire, I can start anything
Running down, there goes my gun
And if I want it, then I take it
That was so fresh.
Yes, sir.
(The battle between Starter 51 and Opposer 13 ends.)
Now, that was some real gangster rap, for real.
I thought it was crazy.
Should I say it was original? I liked his spirit.
We will now begin the vote.
My gosh, this is a close one.
Please proceed with voting.
(The voting begins.)
I don't know whom to pick this time.
What?
My gosh, this one is neck and neck.
This one will come down to the wire.
(The vote is now closed.)
(Starter: 25 votes, Opposer: 33 votes)
(Opposer 13 wins.)
Honk!
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 51's mask.
(Remove the mask from the losing rapper, Rapper 51.)
(Fleeky Bang)
(Fleeky Bang)
(His gang-gang-gang meme went viral among teenagers.)
(This rapper established himself in the scene with his own style.)
(He's the future of the Korean hip-hop scene.)
(His album is incredible. I can't believe he's only a rookie.)
- The winning rapper, Rapper 13. - Gosh.
Rapper 13. Take off your mask.
A rapping guru showed up at the battle.
Was he an evil grandpa or something?
It was like he was spitting out evil spells.
Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 13, takes off his mask.)
(Double Down)
(Double Down)
My name is Double Down.
My occupation is a rap star.
I'm from TSP. Top Shelf Product is my label.
We're based out in New York.
And they're here with me now in Korea.
I'm with Nosun and Foggyatthebottom.
Double Down?
That explains why he didn't understand Korean that well.
It was really unexpected that Fleeky Bang lost.
Fleeky Bang is quite popular.
To put it simply, no one saw it coming.
Well, I'll make sure to win if I get to go up against him again.
Anybody can get it.
I think it will be hard to top me.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Let's go.
Why don't we lighten the mood? What do you say?
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper, please come up
Please come up to the stage.
- Gosh. - Oh, shoot!
He backed off.
Bless. Let's have a good one.
I didn't have a particular reason behind choosing him.
I thought I should perform soon
before I lost any more energy in order to win the battle.
Ready.
- Start. - Let's get it.
Yes, let's go.
I hop on a coupe, they all call me a baller
Looking at you makes me pity you, I'll make you my daughter
I won't stop, I'm flowing like water
She's making me sweat, and she's making me hotter
The moment I open my eyes, my thoughts swarm in
The chains around my neck all freeze up
- Who is that? - Come at me, I'm always ready
To slaughter, you have it tough, trying to act
My movements are low-key, I'm witty like Manu Ginobli
My girl gives you a nosebleed
But don't be a fool because you're not my Brodie
Where the fun are my medals and trophies
I'll bang you in the head, I stole and copied that boy
Okay.
He just went for it.
My gosh.
DJ, drop the beat!
After hearing his flow, I thought his rap was weak.
I thought I had an 80 percent chance that I would beat him.
Gold
Let's go.
- Gold - Gosh, this one will be intense.
The captain gold, I'm on that captain gold
Dollar bills rain down, straight to my account
I stand at the starting line
I begin again for the hall of fame
Tell them, I'm trying to eat
I'll eat everything up like in the eating show
So I've got to say
- My gosh. - Oh, shoot!
Hey, you there, you know how it goes
Hey, you, there it goes
There it goes
Oh, shoot.
Oh, my.
He must have been really nervous.
Hey, 100 in 1 day, she was great
Now, I'll be munching at the Chinese buffet
You come to
(Rapper 4 continues rapping without the music.)
I've got it bad, shop for my meal, and talk about
What?
And talk about
(The battle between Starter 33 and Opposer 4 ends.)
- Oh, shoot. - Oh, shoot.
(Sighing)
I totally bombed it.
I'm too good to mess up this early on.
He totally bombed it. This is so bad.
My head just went blank.
We will now begin the vote.
My gosh, it's a pity that number four totally bombed it.
He was even wearing gloves. His hands must be sweating.
There's nothing I can do.
- Oh, my. - He didn't get a single vote?
(Starter: 56 votes, Opposer: 2 votes)
(Starter 33 wins.)
Goodness.
Seeing a lot of people on this side
when you're on the stage must make you so angry.
It was humiliating.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper Four's mask.
It was so disappointing and sad.
It was humiliating.
I totally bombed it. I couldn't bounce back from it.
I have no idea who number four is.
- My gosh. Seriously? - Goodness.
Everyone is shocked.
(GOLDBUUDA)
(GOLDBUUDA)
- It was GOLDBUUDA? - It was GOLDBUUDA.
It really is him.
Yes, sir. I'm New Wave Dangun.
GB, the One Love. Hello, I'm GOLDBUUDA.
(Lil Cherry and GOLDBUUDA, the siblings are beloved)
(for their unique style.)
It was unexpected.
I never imagined that I would see him on RAP:PUBLIC.
I wanted to compete on RAP:PUBLIC for a reason.
So far, I've been performing with Lil Cherry as a duo.
I don't want to be seen as just Lil Cherry's brother.
I wanted to branch out on my own
and be acknowledged as a solo rapper.
That's why I'm here.
Number 33. Take off your mask.
(XWALLY)
- It's XWALLY. - It's XWALLY.
GOLDBUUDA has been in this industry for a long time.
He's a very talented rapper, actually.
But his rap was so weird.
My gosh, it has to be the most embarrassing moment of my career.
- It's great to see you here. - Hey.
- You did well. - It's okay.
Oh, dear. I was so nervous.
It'd be great if you could cut out the losing rappers' performances.
Please.
Do you want to take off the mask?
But so many people are trying to grab the microphone.
I just want to take off my mask now.
It's so stuffy to have it on.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
All right. Let's have fun with it.
My gosh, this is going to be a fun one.
Go for it.
I had to come up after hearing her voice.
- Who is that? - Who is it?
His voice sounds familiar.
Ready.
Start.
Okay, let's go.
I climbed up the ladder, one step at a time
After my album, the mainstream media is my next step
People thought I would get eliminated early on
But I showed them how it was done and got my sweet revenge
Hundreds of thousands of dollars hit my bank account
I put out an album along with several tapes
But they still follow the gossip, so I do another pull-up
I must raise my pay again, so I came back
She's good.
Who says I'm overplaying my image when I haven't shown anyone my butt
You'll be the first to follow me
Saying you're my fans, so don't act so innocent
She's good.
Music is what I want to sell first, and the rest is a side hustle
I just get paid for my rap
I'll break down this wall
- Even if it breaks my head - She's too good.
Timing is on my side
Those who claim the scene is dead
- And have no faith should get lost - I love it.
Being certain in the uncertain times is the real deal
Before you complain about the cap, find yourself first
I want a lot of money, and so do you
But you can't be like me
Here's why, it's not about your age or looks
It's because
- You're not as good as me, so what? - She's so ballsy.
So what?
- Oh, shoot. Oh, my. - Yes!
- Gosh, she killed it. - Yes!
- Let's go, my brother. - My gosh.
I don't know who she is, but she's incredible.
Hey, what the heck!
- She's so good. - That was so cool.
She's a warrior.
Her vocalization was so good.
I was really impressed.
Let's have a blast.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Let's get it.
Even his beat is getting me excited.
- Isn't this Hangzoo? No? - Put your hands up.
Hey!
Pay attention, look at my stuff, look at my team
I see red
With the funky rhythm, I'll be kicking with tension
A drunk dog
Gets the party started, Akaraka
I don't know what people say, I just let it happen
These sorry rappers from tonight, they're just all talk
The king has come to RAP:PUBLIC
- She crushed him. - Like Einstein taking a school exam
The chemistry of different classes with the Ngannou Punch
A drunk dog
Gets the party started, Akaraka
(The battle between Starter 29 and Opposer 40 ends.)
We will now begin the vote.
Yes, 29 went crazy.
The lady killed it.
My gosh, she was way too good.
(What's the result of their battle?)
(Starter: 56 votes, Opposer: 2 votes)
She won by a landslide.
Oh, my.
(Starter 29 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 40's mask.
- Be bold. - Go.
Go ahead.
- It's Geegooin. - What?
(Geegooin)
(Geegooin)
The winning rapper, Rapper 29.
Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 29, takes off her mask.)
(SINCE)
(SINCE)
It was SINCE.
(She left a strong impression after winning second place)
(on "Show Me the Money 10.")
(She was the first female rapper)
(to win the New Artist of the Year in 2022.)
What?
Were they on different teams?
- On "Show Me the Money 10?" - They had a thing.
Yes, right!
- No way. - Will that continue here?
(They met on "Show Me the Money 10.")
(And he surprised her with a love confession.)
That's why I bombed it.
- Gosh. - You killed it.
I had no idea you would be here.
Then how many contestants from "Show Me the Money" are here?
I knew people from "Show Me the Money" would be here.
Smoke in my mouth, I'm riding to the airport
It takes 4.1 seconds to hit 100km per hour
I'm a VVIP in whatever city I'm in
Pick up the phone right now
That's Seong Kyung, right?
Boi B.
(Boi B wins.)
It rained until yesterday
I go to the top, look down, and laugh
I go to the top and have my city at my feet
It's Mckdaddy.
I watched "Show Me the Money" a lot.
I was quite surprised.
Now I'm chilling and high like palm trees
I'm ready to take flight again when you're blinded by jealousy
That's why some guys avoid me even more
Failures are great for success
And I believe in myself
(Reddy)
- That's Reddy? - No wonder.
I had no idea.
No, the dollar bills are my dopamine
Piles of them give me orgasm like cocaine
What do you want to gain from this game?
There are things that are better than money
The moment I heard his voice, I had a feeling it was Jo Gwang Il.
It was Jo Gwang Il.
(Jo Gwang Il)
He was the winner of "Show Me the Money 10."
I thought the lineup for this show was just insane.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first,
- please come up to the stage. - Oh, my.
- Please come up to the stage. - Oh, my.
Shoot. That was too fast.
Hey, watch out.
Darn it. I should've learned how to run first.
If you think you're the best, come up.
Oh, my.
He seems so intense.
I'm glad I didn't go up.
You asked for me, so I'm here.
You asked for me, so I'm here.
You might have made a mistake.
That was savage.
He's pretty cool.
You know, that guy. Number eight.
Who do you think he is? Check out his posture.
The way he was standing up
I've seen it somewhere.
I've seen him stand like that.
It's him.
You're right.
Ready.
Start.
Drop the beat.
Hey, this is me, 59.
Listen.
Cheer three times right on time
I'll sing a Korean song
Look at that fine lady, but you're still as arrogant as ever
Tell her you can't make it
I, born in 2005, am making my way back
I undid the leash on Pavlov's dog
I'm dodging stones, even the ones meant to fly
F-I-V-E-L-I-N-E-S, it's time to rise
It's a rare beautiful day
Hello, ladies, I'm the young master of the 21st century
I tend to leave the mistakes of the past far behind me
When people pretend to be mentally ill in this scene
It was some kid stuff, that was back in the day
I got pens and notebooks, I was only 14
There were desks all around me
But you got no color even with that big head of yours
See if you can dance like me, you punk
You got no sense of rhythm, so you can't pull this off
See if you can dance like me, you punk
You got no sense of rhythm, so you can't pull this off
Even your vocabulary is subpar and pathetic
Now bring me a coffee without the syrup
My gosh, he was about to kiss number eight.
Cute.
Okay. I liked the dance, though.
I thought he was on fire.
I loved it.
When he rapped, I could feel his aura too.
Let's go, DJ.
His vocalization is insane. He's got a booming voice.
The deity blessed me with nothing but the best
- It's him, right? - Yes.
It's him, right?
I'm leading the orchestra with my natural finesse
This accent has been with me since I was in middle school
Why do I need advice?
- His vocalization is so clear! - I didn't need anything else
So I'm reaching nirvana and dunking my desires in the Nile
He's much better.
These fools think I'm angry, but I turn my rage into art
- Who is that? He's rocking it. - I know
How to handle drama in my life just like a movie director
Everything is under control, cameras are rolling
This will be another memory, Obviously, it'll be a hit again
I'm no murderer, but I kill it every time
I'm killing this beat, and this is all real
Since I was a rookie, I've stood shoulder to shoulder
They never put me down just because I'm young
- He's on fire. - I walk weird and am out of line
They say I slur my words on purpose just like this
Manifest it all, hardships or whatever, now I want it all
I don't care if it's pain or gains, I'll grab my backpack
I'm a traveler, ready to go anywhere in the world
I'm even ready to pick up whatever comes my way
I have my eyes on the throne
- I know who he is. - I've got nothing to fear
It's him, right?
I have my eyes on the throne
I've got nothing to fear
- I'm a gem in the dark - They're fighting.
They're fighting.
Wait, they won't.
I like number eight more.
What was that? That was wild.
He's so good.
It was overwhelming.
The real deal has come.
The battle has ended.
He did better than me on my beat.
But number 59 had more to show.
(The voting begins.)
I like it here.
What's going on? This is the right side.
I think his showmanship on the stage was better.
I was hooked on his rap.
(The vote is now closed.)
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 19 votes, Opposer: 39 votes)
(The opposer, number 8, wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 59's mask.
- OSUN. - OSUN.
OSUN.
Five Lines.
He was on "High School Rapper," right?
He lost a lot of weight.
The winning rapper,
number eight. Take off your mask.
(HAON)
(HAON)
Gosh, this is unexpected.
I had a feeling it might be him.
- I was right. - What?
- Is he in a bad mood? - What?
No, he's been like that the whole day.
Hello.
It's been six years
since I starred in "High School Rapper 2."
My name is HAON.
Hi, let me introduce myself
(He drew attention early on with his one-of-a-kind style.)
(With his unparalleled rap skills, he was constantly in the limelight.)
(Then he won the competition.)
I'll continue to impress you
and bring something new to the table.
Let's see, bozo
(He released his 1st full-length album 6 years since debut.)
(- HAON is the future. - HAON, you don't need to meditate.)
(- This is the flow of the year. - His new style rocks.)
(He made his return, gaining praise for his improved talent.)
I looked at the screen and saw his name there. I was like,
"What? Really?"
I didn't see it coming.
I had no idea he would be here.
"He's on the show too?" That's how I felt.
I started to write lyrics because I was motivated
by HAON.
I thought, "Gosh, we were meant to meet."
If I get a chance to battle him again,
I'm going to get back at him for this.
Honestly, I'm furious.
You already gave up.
It's not that I gave up. I'm going with plan B.
You're aware that
your decision pushed us closer to the worst-case scenario, right?
Well, right.
All right. That's all I needed to hear.
I'm off.
- He's angry. - Of course, he is.
(Meanwhile, the battles have been going on for a long time.)
(This rapper is enjoying all the battles without a break.)
What do you call that? The nail extensions.
The one with the nail extensions.
The one with nail extensions as long as fingers.
Her nails were as long as this.
She couldn't stay still when other people were rapping.
I was really curious about this rapper.
I was like, "Who is this girl?"
What are those? Are those Wolverine nails?
She put swords on her nails.
If there's anything you would like to say, go ahead.
Nice to meet you all. Let's go.
Me! Please let me do it.
Ms. Wolverine has been wanting to battle it out for some time.
Gosh, I really want to battle it out.
Please come up to the stage.
- Please come up to the stage. - Darn it.
When will I get to do it?
So how is she going to grab the microphone?
I don't think she can do it because of her nails.
Me! Please let me do it.
Let her do it. She's so desperate.
Yes!
(Rapper 45 finally gets on the stage after a long wait.)
Let's go, Nails!
My biggest curiosity was how she would handle the microphone.
Ms. Wolverine. Hey, she did it.
Hello. Is it working? Yes.
Her nails were super long. And she was missing three nails.
The battle begins now.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I'm spitting out another verse, move it, if you don't, you'll crash
Time's flown by
But how could I forget my past?
I get one shot at a life
The genre of my theme song is an adventure
This fool's no good, she's a joke, straight up
Look me in the eyes, speak the truth
You say I need to get a grip, but what are you on?
You stupid head, get lost
Even I think I'm too fly
And that's my problem
I'll be banging and go out with a bang, no doubt
There will be a big bang after I'm gone
A pretty girl calls me up
It goes off all night long, but I won't answer it
I'm sorry, I'm busy
What am I up to? I'm popping another one
Yes.
Respect.
He's skilled indeed.
All right. Here I go.
I'm looking forward to this. I hope she does well.
I'm so curious about her rap.
Okay.
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out, and it hurt
- I got my wisdom tooth out - What did she say?
- Yes, it's out, and it hurt - She got her wisdom tooth out?
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - Okay.
It hurt like crazy once I got my wisdom tooth out
The anesthesia wears off, and the pain doubles and triples
Doc, do something, what am I going to do?
I can't eat spicy or salty food
What? How am I going to live now?
But now that it's gone, it feels nice
I don't know why I got scared then
- I pulled out every rotten tooth - Who is that?
That put me in pain, out like that
Oh, my wisdom tooth
Get rid of the bad memory
Toss the tooth away
- Toss it aside with my depression - What is this?
Just like the wisdom tooth that was irritated and rotten,
Self blame was only taking up space in my head
So erase it from my mind right away
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
- I got my wisdom tooth out - I got my wisdom tooth out
- Yes, it's out - Yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
- I took out my wisdom - I can totally feel it.
And it hurt
I took out my wisdom
- And it hurt - She's a great performer, though.
I took out my wisdom
- And it hurt, I took out - I can't stop dancing to it.
I took out my wisdom, and it hurt
(The battle between Starter 34 and Opposer 45 ends.)
I'll vote for her.
It was so catchy.
I'll remember her performance for at least three years.
It hurts like crazy when you get your wisdom tooth out.
I want her to get one more wisdom tooth out.
So she can perform one more time.
She gave it all.
You were in a lot of pain.
The battle has ended.
You were in a lot of pain.
- Oh, shoot. Gosh. - My gosh.
Did it hurt?
Your nails are dropping like flies.
What? They're disposable after one use. Where are they?
Thank you.
We will now begin the vote.
Gosh, I don't know.
- The fun one ought to win. - I'm not sure.
I'll go to the wisdom tooth girl.
Her style is so unique.
It was the first time people started to sing along.
People were quite responsive when she rapped.
So I was a bit worried.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 41 votes, Opposer: 17 votes)
(Starter 34 wins.)
She lost, but she put up a good fight.
But clearly, he was a better rapper.
She doesn't seem serious about rapping like other people.
If she was in pain because she got her wisdom tooth out,
she should go to a dental clinic.
I think she came to the wrong place.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 45's mask.
Hello.
Who is she?
I can't wait to find out who she is.
Who is that?
(COCONA)
(COCONA)
- COCONA? - COCONA?
- Do you know her? - No.
Thank you.
Hello.
I'm an optimistic musician
who stays true to her music. My name is COCONA.
The winning rapper, 34. Take off your mask.
(ZENE THE ZILLA)
- ZENE THE ZILLA. - Hello.
(ZENE THE ZILLA)
She took out her wisdom tooth? I wonder how much pain she was in.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
Oh, no.
Gosh, he looks like a bear.
- There he is. - Gosh.
He looks big.
My gosh.
- What? - What?
Well, this is a nerve-racking moment.
What? I think I know who this is.
I think it's Mills.
It was impossible not to recognize him.
Every rapper must be able to.
How could anyone not recognize him?
- That must be Don Mills, right? - Yes.
Given the build, it has to be Don Mills.
It's Don Mills, right?
Hello, I'm Don Mills.
Nice to meet you, everyone.
(This talented rapper)
(with tons of experience dominated the scene.)
(The master of infectious hooks is famous for his cheerful vibe.)
My identity is a secret.
My gosh. Come on.
I didn't want my identity to be revealed.
So I tried to hide it.
But I couldn't help it. I spoke like my usual self.
I'm envious. Everyone recognizes his voice.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
That's so cool.
It was clear to everyone that it was Don Mills.
Despite knowing that, he still went for it. How confident.
I love his fighting spirit.
Actually, I'm a huge fan.
Thank you.
Let's have a good one.
Let's go!
- Let's go! - Gosh, he's got a nice attitude.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hey, let's go.
What?
What did you do when I was on the move?
- What? - Okay.
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
Clickety-clack, you were holed up at home all day
Your fingers are busy, flying on the keyboard
For me, I've been stuck in reality, paying off my loan
I'd rather forget unfamiliar words like rent and credit scores
They say starting is half the battle
But it's been over ten years I've been playing this game
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
This makes no sense
People say it'll work out, but who are they kidding?
Money is flowing out like the water from a broken jar
No one's to blame but yourself, What a fool you are
This mindset won't get you paid
You'll chase away the success even when you get close.
Are you scared? Just do something and get over it
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
Hey.
- Mills is going to do it. - What was that?
- Mills is going to do it. - What was that?
- What? - Hey.
- Mills is going to do it. - What did you say?
Hey.
Thank you.
He has no intention of hiding his identity.
He must find it funny too.
"Mills is going to do it?"
He made it so obvious.
Gosh, I have no idea who he is.
I thought that he was losing it.
All right, give me the beat.
Let's go.
What?
You guys keep asking me, so who's stepping up first?
With one shot, your mind goes blank
- Don Mills might lose. - Know your place
I'm grinding like a dog
Every step I took has put me on the right path
- I've never lost my way, so what? - He's crushing it.
Your future is bleak, you're stepping on thin ice
You can't gauge the depth below
Darkness fills your eyes under your feet
I'm balling like Embiid from Philly, that's how I'm feeling
It's too late, defeat suits you
Oh, man, I get the hotheads to sit down
I baptize them in flames with oil over their heads
When you complain, I keep stoking the fire
- Who is that? - I have no idea.
Everything splits in two, XO just like tic-tac-toe.
You can't be my opponent
- You'd better say my name right - Okay.
Fight, keep it on sight, come at me
This is the highlight, double time it, keep the rhyme tight
If you come at me thinking we're equal
- Here's what I'll say to you, bye - Don Mills is in big trouble.
Your future is bleak, you're stepping on thin ice
They don't want me, but I'm stunning, man
They don't want me, but I'm stunning
- Oh, my. - My gosh.
Sorry, Don Mills.
Good work.
The battle has ended.
Don Mills is famous, and everyone knows him.
But he leaned on Don Mills
while doing his own thing.
I thought number 11 was gutsy.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
My gosh, this one is hard.
I'm kind of torn.
- I don't know whom to vote. - Right.
There's nothing I can do.
I still think Don Mills did a bit better.
It would've been better if he didn't mess up.
The 1st part was great, but the 2nd part was a bit lacking.
The vote is now closed.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
What? He lost?
(Starter: 24 votes, Opposer: 34 votes)
His mistake must have affected the result.
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 14's mask.
- Good work. - Good work.
Thank you.
(Don Mills)
- Oh, no. Don Mills! - Thank you.
I think I'm off to a great start.
My performances will improve as the show goes on.
I'll end up winning the whole thing.
That's my big picture.
The winning rapper, 11.
Take off your mask.
Who is this?
Who's he?
Who is he?
(Daniel Jikal)
(Daniel Jikal)
- Daniel Jikal. - I see.
Daniel Jikal?
You know him?
I've never seen him before.
Daniel Jikal.
My head went blank.
I don't remember his name.
Jack Kiri.. Or something.
Oh, no.
Hello. I'm from the States.
I'm with P NATION, which is run by PSY.
I'm a rookie artist, Daniel Jikal. Nice to meet you.
Wait. Isn't he from P NATION?
P NATION.
A solo artist from P NATION.
- A solo artist? - Yes.
I'm seeing many new faces.
Actually,
I thought
he was Swings.
(Actually, I'm a huge fan.)
(He exchanged greetings while mistaking the identity.)
But he wasn't Swings.
I think everyone here is quite objective.
They're only judging based on the performances.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
(Rapper 23 is the starter this time.)
Let's go.
Before accepting a challenger,
you can address the group.
Well,
I'm looking for someone who will make a beautiful memory with me.
I'm looking for someone who will make a beautiful memory with me.
(Bowing)
(Ignoring)
Who is that?
I don't like him.
You may address the starting rapper.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
- My gosh. - He doesn't want to.
- The battle - Oh, my.
will begin now.
I've been watching him.
I'm really curious.
- He acts so cool. - Ready.
I'm serious.
Ready.
Start.
Okay. Let's go.
Yes, I'm smoking a pack too much
I'm walking outside, don't be playing
I'm winning all games, going crazy
My money is the greenest salad
These fools all come from the same package
They're all the same
Don't waste my time, I've got missions
I'm high up on the chain, at the highest with two million
Yes, I'm back on the street
These fools keep talking about stupid stuff
You keep chasing the money
Just no one will stick with you
Just no one will stand by you
You'll have to ask her to stay
You'll have to make something of yourself
But I don't need to buy the lotto
You, L-B-A-K, we're going right now
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - His vibe was cool.
It was hip.
That was weak, for real.
That was weak, for real.
Let's go.
What?
What?
Life is too short, I'm going to give it my best
So I won't have any regrets even if I die
I've got to keep my soul, I can't sell my soul
I sold everything but my soul
This is the life I chose, it was my call
I changed a lot after I failed high school
I've got to take the risk, I've got to flick the wrist
To make big money, I can't play by the rules
She wants my wood, her name is Vivian
She tells me not to leave yet
She tells me not to leave yet
I tell her what's up because I have to make it big
It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do
I don't want to be on TV
Because people will see my face
I only want to do whatever I want
I pop some Zs, just so I can sleep
White teeth ain't no
Time, that's all I need
Or witch, hold my microphone
You guys are just wannabes
My life is about to get good
I'm a little boy with some big dreams
I just want to get geeked
My bad like Mona Lisa
I want a neck piece from nature that's more expensive than yours
The whole body turns into a freezer, cocaine and Nike on my feet
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
(The battle between Starter 23 and Opposer 27 ends.)
To be honest, I was furious.
He didn't even know me. How could he put his hand on me?
It was really annoying.
We will now begin the vote.
Let's go.
I don't know whom to vote for.
It's harder to vote as we continue.
- That's right. - Right?
The voting is now closed.
This looks even.
- It looks even, right? - Seven, eight
It does.
When I saw how many people were standing behind him,
I thought it wouldn't be easy.
I was confused.
I think it may be a tie or I could turn the table around.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 26 votes, Opposer: 32 votes)
(Opposer 27 wins.)
Having good manners is really important.
I really hated how number 23 touched number 27 at the end.
Why did he act so recklessly like that?
That was disappointing.
Take off
Rapper 23's mask.
(Remove the losing rapper, Rapper 23's mask.)
(MASON HOME)
(MASON HOME)
- Who's that? - MASON HOME.
- He belongs to a hip-hop team. - I don't know him.
Everyone from OKASHII is here.
The whole crew is here.
(OKASHII is currently the most popular hip-hop crew)
(for their trendy tracks.)
I was surprised that OKASHII came.
They're really hot right now.
He wasn't so good.
I didn't know who he was
even after taking off his mask.
So I thought I picked the right opponent.
The winning rapper, 27. Take off your mask.
Shy.
(ShyboiiTobii)
Hey, shy, ShyboiiTobii.
He was ShyboiiTobii.
Oh, shoot.
Hello, I won the Rookie Award in Korean Hip-hop Awards this year.
I'm ShyboiiTobii. It's nice to meet you.
(XWALLY, ShyboiiTobii, and Tray B were nominated for the award.)
(ShyboiiTobii beat the contenders and won the Rookie Award.)
(He's a crazy rookie. I look forward to his album.)
(He's really good. I can't say anything else.)
(This is real hip-hop. I've been waiting for a day like this.)
ShyboiiTobii is the leader of rappers these days.
I'm surprised to see that he tries new things that way.
He's kind of on another level.
He's really good.
Please stay in your position.
ShyboiiTobii lied that he wasn't participating.
He asked ShyboiiTobii, and he said he wasn't.
- Really? - Yes.
Honestly, I can't trust you.
What do you mean? Do you think I'd diss you?
Yes, I do.
I said I wouldn't.
Darn it. He doesn't get it at all.
The beef challenge starts soon.
The selected rapper is ShyboiiTobii.
- Is ShyboiiTobii crying? - Yes.
He's so young.
The lineup is so outstanding.
I know. Most of them are named rappers.
Let's go
Everybody kings and queens
But guess I'm going to have to step in the ring
The ring doesn't suit you
- Your song doesn't have any meaning - It's him.
I'll have to teach a thing or two
Everybody's on the same stuff
The boring flow and lyrics
You better cover your flows
You hide you're clumsy and stuff a fancy painting in the song paper
You pay attention to choreography only and lose the musical value
If the song only has a vibe not content, it's no use
You prick up yourself with clothes that don't fit
The fit matters more than what's inside
What's wrong with this world?
What's wrong with you? Me?
Rather than answering the question, show me my many mistakes
I know I'm not good enough, I make you feel tired
You're perfect and on the top tier
I don't need such greed
I only need a family
Well done.
He definitely has a good tone.
- Right. It's him. - That was great.
Anyone can tell.
The winning rapper, 32. Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper 32 takes off his mask.)
Owen.
Owen.
- Yes! - Owen.
I can recognize Owen only from his voice.
- He has an ID on his neck. - He's unrivaled.
Owen's rap was good, as expected.
(Rapper 46 goes on to the stage.)
DJ, beat drop.
- Look - Let's go.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show
He's different.
Sit back, relax, and look
It's him, right?
Might just be another problem here
Everyone shows cheezy acting that seems so familiar
There's an atelier with a different spark in Mangwon
It surely creates the best quality from South Korea
Everyone is bling or pretends to be bling
He's skillful.
Wipe off all the nonsense, bus comp
You're a rock star who needs the camera on
You're a fake DJ with the line not connected
He's darn good.
You're Jacks of all trades, You pretend to adopt
You're not good at rap, You're not good at singing
Although your looks bloom, it will soon fall like cherry blossoms
But I explode like Mount Vesuvius
Although I'm a bit slow, the structure is Fantastic Four
If you only think of collateral benefits, stop it now
Not many riches in the world and even less among creators
Darn it
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show
He's good.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the darn show
Darn.
- Gosh. - He's strong.
He's amazing.
Sexy rap.
He's darn good.
The winning rapper, 46. Take off your mask.
That's him.
Right, Khundi Panda.
- Panda. - Khundi Panda.
Of all the opponents, Khundai Panda. Darn it.
I say the best verse was from Khundi Panda.
It's legendary.
The show will hit the jackpot.
The production crew cast strong ones.
I can't believe all these rappers are here.
There were still so many rappers with a mask on.
Then how many good rappers are there?
I'm doomed.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first,
please come up to the stage.
Let's go.
It's nice to meet you, losers.
(It's nice to meet you, losers.)
Goodness.
Oh, my.
Can I perform one more time?
Don't stop me. Darn it. I'm going to go on the stage.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper, please come up to the stage.
I guess you're feeling hot. I'll take off your mask.
Darn.
This is fun.
- Nice. - Darn.
I'm curious. I'll slay you.
Ready.
- It's going to be fun. - All right. Let's see.
Start.
DJ run that stuff up
It's messed up, brother, ride or die
You dig
This man does it for free, it's free
I dress up like Uijeongbu High, I'm darn trendy
I'm immature, I'm like a little kid
I'm the bomb, and I'm about to blow up
I'm a human landmine Call me D.I.L.F Dad I love to
Darn it, Set a yacht afloat on the Soyang Dam, homie
I ain't playing no games with you, I don't recommend making friends
Our relationship is cold and brutal I'm highly enriched uranium
My hobby is launching nuclear missiles, I'm from Baekdu bloodline
Drop the bomb in this world
I'm going to beat everyone in Seoul and Pyeongyang
I'm going to empty the folders in your computers
If we fail, it's treason, if we succeed, it's revolution
I'm an older brother since I was young
I'm a king, I'm the boss, Lee Kyoung Young
A lot of zeros in my account, I mark a dot under my eye like BIBI
My chestnut jelly, Make fake gang, Kill them all
One, two, all right
One, two, all right
Darn it. This is insane.
His rap has so many punchlines.
It's full of wits.
I'll start right away.
(I'll start right away.)
The beat sounds nice.
I represent my city, My hometown is on the beat
I police the punks that ruin the ecosystem
Press F at the moment you're caught
I find your location right away
I'm already waiting with my aim fixed
I know the flow of your movement
I'm calm like a captain, This is my passive
Although I fight alone the cost of life is high like AP
Who is she? She's good.
Better let up on me
I have accustomed moves The counterattack changes the angle
I stick to not riding although they treat me as a rebel
Even if you push your way
- You're just a loser to me - She's good.
So even if you intervene I will step on it
You might know my ID but you can't trace my IP
I squeeze through a gap when there's no chance of living
You have no idea I turn the tables without a device, All Mighty
I turn the tables, All Mighty
She's good.
Thank you.
- This is fun. - I like it.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
I can't decide. They were both good.
- The vote begins. - They were both really good.
I can't decide.
It was a battle between two spears.
It depends on your taste, I guess.
I thought hard when I chose one.
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
It's a close match.
(The vote is now closed.)
I guess it's half and half.
A tie? Is it our first tie?
The vote result was neck and neck this time.
(The vote result was neck and neck this time.)
I guess it's half and half. He said it was neck and neck.
- Is it a draw? - Who won?
(Starter 30 votes, opposer 28 votes)
(The starter rapper, 41 wins.)
I think it's a 1 or 2 vote difference.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 18's mask.
Who's the female rapper? Is it someone I don't know?
Let's see who she is.
(Luci Gang)
It's Luci Gang.
- Luci Gang. - Luci Gang!
- It's someone you like. - Gang.
- Luci Gang's good. - You're right. She's good.
Hi.
Everyone in the underground knows me.
It's me, Luci Gang.
Luci Gang is amazing. Even her live singing is good.
She's an artist with a strong personal color.
Darn it. I should've done better.
Rapper 41. Take off your mask.
- Do you know him? - The winning rapper,
- Do you know 41? - forty-one.
(Chaboom)
- I'm his fan. - Chaboom!
My goodness.
(Chaboom)
- Let's go! - Chaboom!
It's Chaboom.
Darn, what the heck?
(The center of attention)
(for Korean-style gangster rap, Rapper Chaboom)
I had no idea he was Chaboom.
Chaboom is a participant I didn't expect to see.
It left a big impression.
Isn't it exciting to be able to
attack someone right away
with what I've got?
(Mostly all of the rappers' identities have been revealed.)
Are there four left?
Or five?
We'll proceed with the next battle.
(Rapper 53 wants to rap first.)
Wait. That tattoo looks familiar.
Anyone can come up to battle.
Let's wrap it up well and take the mask off quickly.
She has a cool voice.
With that voice, she must be good.
Cool. I like fights.
Rapper 54 is a woman, but she's taller.
Don't say things like that.
Ready.
Start.
I'll start right away. Give me the beat.
Let's go.
I'm killing brown deer, I never drive, It was like cardio
It might not reach you, You know there's no negotiation here
Keep your eyes open or you'll get run over
And you'll wish for it
Being blinded by the flash of light means that's the light of ambition
Cheese with the evil, I will bloom dark
Who can resist? Apples with Adam and Eve
Borrow a 100,000 dollars, you're still a commoner
Borrow one million dollars, you're a criminal
Borrow ten million dollars, and what are you?
I dream again, The cause of my narcolepsy was this
And it messed up the place, I don't even need to analyze
Don't be considerate of me, That's better manners
Go back to when I was a student and tell myself,
"Like prince, that is an elephant"
Yes, everything is the same
Everyone is living with a mask on, I'm No Face
Hiding is comfortable like a fool
I bite and tear you apart first, It's already an apocalypse
Nothing can be done in this era of hatred
Who is the villain?
Swim down and bury them at the bottom of the deep sea
Leave them and swim up
There's no change in the future
His body identified who he was.
He's iconic.
- That was clean. - How peaceful.
He was the definition of clean.
Give me the beat.
I say
It's Lee Young Ji.
Isn't this a tanghulu-type beat?
Party is over
You've got no more customers, so go catch the flies
Rather than being caught in love I can't buy
I smoke a lot like I've got a hundred lungs
I've come, and all the jerks are in trouble
A debauchee who has never performed on an underground stage
How they act with the rookie spotlight makes me laugh
- I drive it into them - Nice.
I shoot a bullet into their tongue
It might be better breathing heated air
I suck in the familiar air
It's crazy, emitting smoke
It's crazy, emitting smoke
My fuel efficiency is great, always full of gas
- I'm stuffed - What?
With the artist's drinking table
A fairy glass is in my hand before I know it
My camouflage covers up popular music
Please fix yourself up
Your inside and outside are different from mine
The media field is stinking with rotting corpses
I've got latta, my artistic framework
Do you have money ready? Shoulder the cost of my strong will
We won't put up with it
One hundred thousand dollars per capita isn't enough
The seller sets the price, but nobody wants me
The TV show that disgusted you yesterday
Becomes tasty when it becomes my business, come mucho
- Yes. - "Come mucho."
I'm going to that side.
That was the bomb.
She made some sexy music. I like that.
I like that too.
Who is she?
Do you know her?
Do you know her?
Gosh, I got captivated.
Someone rapping like her was new.
We will now begin the vote.
Rapper 53 had better techniques,
but Rapper 54 was more interesting.
She's good.
Low-key.
I was kind of fired up.
She made the sound sticky-icky.
(Starter loses with 19 votes. Opposer wins with 39 votes.)
(Opposer, Rapper 54, wins.)
Good.
She was bound to get more votes.
It's the difference in style.
I'm not saying Rapper 53 was bad.
Rapper 54 prepared something that grabbed
people's attention.
It was inevitable.
Rapper 54 was great.
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 53's mask.
(Hash Swan)
- Gosh. - Hash.
He still looks very young.
Hash Swan. Right.
It's him.
I love Hash Swan.
He's an artist I like.
I was happy to see him.
The winning rapper, 54. Take off your mask.
I'm curious. I want to know who she is.
Who is she?
Who is it?
(Hippie Kunda)
Hippie Kunda?
(Hippie Kunda)
- Hippie Kunda? - Hippie Kunda?
- Hippie Kunda? - Is it like Khundi Panda?
- Hippie Kunda. - Hippie Kunda.
Her name is similar to Khundi Panda.
- Do you know her? - What?
- Do you know her? - No.
Who is she?
I don't know. I've never seen her before.
Hi. I'm Hippie Kunda who is in charge of the rap and artwork
for Korea's mixed hip-hop duo 99' Nasty Kidz.
She's someone who knows how to rap instinctively.
It's my first time meeting Hippie Kunda.
She shocked me.
I bet she'll be good at music.
Hippie Kunda the dark horse.
She's a new face.
Totally. Nice.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
(After a long wait,)
(Rapper 19 takes the stage.)
Before accepting the challenge, please say a word.
He should've turned his thumb down,
even if it was obvious. Right?
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
I want to take off the mask and become comfortable.
Let's do this.
I get him.
We'll proceed with the battle.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Bring the volume up.
I don't feel anything, I've been full of anger recently
Be more honest
Just say the only reason is for money
That jerk is a hypocrite and a liar
Get caught, and you're dead
I take my faith piece off my neck
And toss it away in hopes you'll listen to me
Not you, jerk, you're to rest in peace
Eat this even if you die
Rockstar life, I wear your pants down
My Amiri is from Beverly
Those who are bothered, remember this
- We have someone good. - I'll show you I'm speedy
There's no peace here, you stupid
To realize just now that I'm crazy
It's no cartoon or Disney
It's plain obvious you are all geeking
I did it for the team and my twin
I learned the K-town Street late
Not for the meme, no need for scheming
Keep it 100, you know what I mean
I wear several rings and miss none
Just leave, there is no goodbye or kissing
Working more and more with no weekend
That was clean and amazing.
- It was tight. - Yes.
- That was intense. - It was no joke.
Give me the beat.
Take a sip drip bish, Yes, I'm on the way
I don't need it, shut it up Who dare judge me?
Even your mother wants to see me
Light a cigarette and drink another glass
Yes, I'm back, I went astray, but wait
I need an oxygen tank, I'll soon leave, I faded it
Get drunk, get lost, and Jack Daniel's
It kills my brain, Take my card before paying
Every single one wants me to dance as they want
But I don't know, the evil being talks to me through the mirror
What are you talking about? My head is swimming
I can't hear you
The ceiling is spinning, the walls are tightening in
It's not bad
Take it all out
Stack on my dizzy head
There's spit on the ground, so dodge it on your own
I don't know, I'm faded it
Okay, get lost, move aside, and straighten up
Yes, I don't need any friends
Okay, get lost, move aside
Eat them all, stack on stack
What a shame.
Thank you.
The battle has ended.
Please stand behind the rapper who has done better
in your opinion.
(The voting begins.)
Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, no. That's - What now?
- What's he going to do? - That's bad.
Isn't this the lowest ever?
Only one?
I think it's the biggest difference.
He must feel
Earlier, I realized
if my opponent has overwhelmingly many behind him,
- it's humiliating. - Right.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
He won.
(Starter 19 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 48's mask.
- Who is it? - I wonder who it is.
I have no idea.
Oh, my What?
No way.
- No way. - I can't believe it.
(The losing rapper, 48, takes off his mask.)
Oh, my What?
- It's PUNCHNELLO. - PUNCHNELLO is here too.
(PUNCHNELLO)
(With his flashy rap skills and overwhelming stage presence,)
(he became the winner of "Show Me the Money 8.")
(The skilled rapper PUNCHNELLO)
Oh, my. What?
What?
I can't believe this.
PUNCHNELLO got only one vote.
That makes no sense.
- This is shocking. - I know.
Honestly, it was shocking.
I believe PUNCHNELLO has
what it takes to get more votes.
He was a winner of a hip-hop survival show.
But it's merciless here.
No way.
The winning rapper, 19. Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, 19, takes off his mask.)
It's him, right?
Probably.
(Loopy)
- Who is it? - Loopy.
(Loopy)
(With his unique tone and flow,)
(he stamped his presence on the domestic hip-hop scene.)
Even before the first line,
I knew it was Loopy.
He was clearly on another level.
- Who is it? - Loopy.
Loopy won.
Loopy is here too.
But Owen and Loopy
I didn't expect to see Loopy here today.
I haven't met Loopy for two years.
Owen and I
When I first began my career
as a rapper in Korea,
we began together.
(Loopy and Owen relied on each other in the same crew.)
(I hope you listen to our music more.)
(Everyone's music in my agency.)
After a series of events,
he said it was time
to create his own world.
(Owen decided to be independent)
(after spending a long time with Loopy.)
After that moment,
I stopped keeping in touch with anyone in the crew.
I focused on my own fight.
(So the two took different paths after drifting apart.)
(2 years later, today)
(Loopy and Owen recognized each other)
(solely based on their voices.)
Let's see. I want to sit down.
Good job.
It was Loopy.
I didn't know.
I didn't know either.
- No? - No.
It was orange.
The color was orange when we had a hug.
It was orange.
(It was orange.)
As we continue the missions,
if we make any musical exchanges,
I'll be glad.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I get it.
- Isn't this the last battle? - The real last battle.
I wonder how they survived until the end.
- It must be really tough. - For real.
The last battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
Go.
He's the main character.
I respect hip-hop culture,
and I love hip-hop so much.
I respect hip-hop artists.
Yes!
I recognize that voice.
- Who is it? - What?
- Who is it? - I'm not telling you.
Masta Wu?
No? Okay.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
I wonder who it is.
He came up last.
He waited and waited.
Who came up last?
Say a word to the starter.
What?
- A dog? - It's a puppy.
- A dog? - It's a puppy.
- Big dog. - It's a puppy.
What's going on?
- How did he wait until the end? - I know.
What was that about? To bark like that
He remained to the end like he was in the lead
just to bark?
The battle will begin now.
Ready.
I hope he does well.
- Start. - DJ, you know what to do.
Hey. Let's go!
Hip-hop hooray hoo
- Ray hoo - Ray hoo
- Hip-hop hooray hoo - Who is it?
- Ray - I see.
Gosh.
I'd never given up, I don't do that
I move on and get back on my feet
- The voice sounds familiar. - I've thought about it
- I love his rap. - Two or three times
But I never said it before
I take it as karma and take it to the end
I really do this for do or die
I don't have the answer so ask someone else
I force myself because I don't want to lose this
It's simple if you settle it because that's how I made it
Mayday
My voice celebrates my payday
Until tomorrow becomes today, I work hard for this, man
I'm being tested Every moment is an audition
I can't help but be myself
But where are you looking for me with a bitter smile?
Kkakdugi with a glass of soju, Life is not a big deal
Hip-hop, I'm loving it
Experienced showmanship.
- I think it's OG. - I know.
That was darn nice.
The dog?
- It's the dog. - Yes.
Who on earth is he?
He wants the beat on.
What if he keeps barking?
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild, bark like lunatics
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
Oh, what?
One, two, three
- What the heck is going to happen? - I think I know who it is.
We gone wild, bark like lunatics
For real?
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back, never give up
I do my dance, My pants are hanging on my butt
Hold the crotch and massage the leg
When she sees it, she says oh, my gosh
Then I approach her
Nice to meet you, Hi, honey
My mic is a long and big eggplant
It's thick like the bottom of a tree
I'm from Busan I'm so heated up, so don't stop me
I'm from Busan
- I'm so heated up, so don't stop me - Right?
I'm smoking like the king beggar, Need oxygen for spicy respirator
Gas, what I spit, Serious coughing in this
Mr. Lee coming straight from the street
Stamp on everything Me, Northfacegawd
Lob, we triple trouble
Take them to the corner
Steal everything I find in you
Welcome to my life, This is concrete jungle I live in
Yes I'm living in the wild, I'm a hungry wild animal
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
- We gone wild, bark like lunatics - So cool.
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild bark like lunatics
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
That was crazy. Do you know him?
- You don't know him? - No.
Amazing.
Shoot.
That was darn crazy.
I can't believe he's here.
Why did the barking sound so cool at the end?
I know.
Did I call that man a dog?
- Yes. - Darn. I'm sorry.
The battle has ended.
That was the main stage. It was awesome.
That was insane.
To me, it wasn't a battle.
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
I was in a concert hall as the member of an audience.
Like magic, I got sucked into it.
I felt like I was bewitched and returned to earth.
We will now begin the vote.
- I can't help it. - Please
stand behind the rapper who has done better
- in your opinion. - Go with the energy?
I have no choice.
- We will proceed with voting. - His performance was insane.
He was good too, but
I don't remember his performance.
Gosh, that was
- No luck with the battle? - Exactly.
Rapper 25 did a good job too.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter loses with 3 votes. Opposer wins with 55 votes.)
His performance deserved more than three votes.
(Opposer 35 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 25's mask.
He did a good job too.
I think he's either the first generation rapper or a veteran.
I can never guess it.
Oh, my gosh.
Amazing.
That's crazy.
(Bizzy)
- Amazing. - That's crazy.
(Bizzy)
Hello. I'm Bizzy Bee.
A dreamer who never stops trying.
(17 years of experience)
(The leader of Korean hip-hop culture)
(The 1st generation rapper, Bizzy continues to try something new.)
So cool.
I could feel his love for hip-hop.
I grew up with his influence.
I began hip-hop after listening to his music.
I even have his album "Bizzionary" at home.
He appeared as a producer in another competition before.
(He appeared as a producer with Tiger JK.)
I was surprised.
The winning rapper, 35.
So darn cool.
He's darn tall.
He's the rapper of rappers.
Take off your mask.
This is awesome.
He's probably
a hero to my generation.
He's like a dragon.
This person is someone I'd never get to meet in person.
He's out of this world.
You don't see him on hip-hop shows.
Take off your mask.
This is unbelievable.
- Hey. - Yes.
A secluded space, mysterious and unknown to the outside world.
This is the first society where only the sole survivor reigns,
RAP:PUBLIC.
In this place, where cooperation and competition coexist,
they can only decide their fate through a game
that uses rap as a weapon.
Here, those who have vowed
to take over RAP:PUBLIC have gathered.
Now, let me introduce the 60 members of RAP:PUBLIC.
This is a show where all contestants are crazy about rap.
Then I'll be the strongest. I'm glad that I'm here.
I think I'm the best among the newbies.
I don't care who my opponents are.
I'll end all of them.
I'll definitely turn this place into my darn world.
Hey, get lost.
You provoked me first.
I didn't provoke you, okay? For goodness' sake.
Just make a diss track.
I'm down with that.
To be honest, I don't trust you.
Politics, betrayal, scheme, and strategy.
Avoiding what that team is good at would be the best choice.
I think I raised a snake.
I think there'll be an insane betrayal.
I hate
Politics
and betrayal aren't accepted in the hip-hop scene.
Is it you?
It's my team. What a joke.
What a little snake.
You punk, I looked after you.
I want to let my emotions take over and beat him up.
Curl up your fist
- Go right ahead. - No!
No!
I have no choice but to do it. I need to save the team.
I gained a family here.
I was the one who messed up.
Why do they need to leave when I was the one who messed up?
All of us survived, for goodness' sake!
That's right.
What's wrong?
Don't cry.
Isn't this too much?
Darn it.
I really can't do this anymore.
This is really insane.
The rules are bleeding us dry. Seriously.
For them, only three rules are given.
First, form your own faction, the block.
Second, eliminate the other blocks and protect your own.
And third, the one and only goal.
Be the last block to survive and take over RAP:PUBLIC.
Please keep watching to see
what fate awaits them in the very end,
who'll be the last block to survive and be the winner.
Now, let us begin the game.
(RAP:PUBLIC)
This is the one and only society you establish with rap.
Welcome to RAP:PUBLIC.
This is a place where you'll survive using rap as your weapon
and a new society where your backgrounds will be reset.
In this society, you can protect yourself and your block
by attacking and defending by rap.
Strategies such as alliances and betrayals are allowed.
I guess being good at rapping isn't the only solution.
Someone could backstab me.
I was the one behind the first betrayal.
I didn't know that I'd get betrayed right away.
Backstabbing jerks need to be eliminated.
- I mean - Go back!
- Be quiet and go back. - He moved like a snake.
I'm here to take out a snake, for goodness' sake.
This wasn't the picture I had in mind.
I'll take him out next time.
I'll never go down.
Do you feel like the boss now you got an offer to join?
I'm getting a dopamine rush.
One block that survives through unity and competition
will receive the prize of 300,000 dollars
and become the first owner of RAP:PUBLIC.
Three hundred thousand dollars?
Three hundred thousand dollars? Okay.
Thank you for the prize.
I'll need to eliminate all the rapper behind me.
The process of individuals forming power
and gaining authority in society
begins by checking each other's skills.
Thus, we prepared this.
Are we starting right away?
We're jumping in without so much as a warning.
Why are there two microphones?
Most shows don't have a battle from the very start.
This is the first step of becoming a member of RAP:PUBLIC,
Mask Off.
During Mask Off,
you'll let go of any prejudices such as age, popularity, and gender.
You'll check each other's weapons and test the waters during a battle.
We let go of our popularity in society
and only compete with our skills in this system.
That means we can really be judged for our raps.
The rules are as follows.
The rapper who wants to start will take the stage
and accept another rapper's challenge.
When a rapper who wants to oppose the starter
comes up the stage, the battle will begin.
If you're like me right now
Ask me and find out
The result will be decided by the other rappers' votes
after the starter and opposer's performances end.
(The result will be decided by the other rappers' votes.)
Afterward, the winner
will receive the powerful authority to take off
the loser's mask.
It'll be the first authority
only the winners can enjoy.
This is getting interesting.
I'm beginning to get the picture.
I'll step on the others and advance.
Now, Mask Off will begin.
If you want to be the starter,
please come up to the stage.
He went up the stage right away.
What? Hey.
That's insanely cool. How did he go up right away?
Isn't he nervous?
He has guts.
Come on up.
- Gosh. - Yes.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
Good luck.
How cool.
Now, the battle will begin.
I'll rip off his mask.
I'll be the winner anyway.
I'm confident.
Ready.
Start.
All right.
What?
Roll on my cash, I dash forward without looking
I throw on an outfit and it has the style of Milano
We don't bow to the fakes, we open accounts instead
I'm Messi before the ball, so start recording without a word
Back in the day, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror
After wandering in the maze, I raise the white flag
Rap and push over the wall like a domino
Born to be a big man, I feel like Cobain
- Everyone was keeping quiet. - Eighty-two
- Was everyone still asleep? - Half of my line
Tattoo on my wrist
E style, my tobacco
Spanish talker, and estoy loco
Yes.
I'll go right away.
Hop out of the Genesis Coupe
It's time to move on, I know what to do
This alley continues to be dark and dirty
It's like the redevelopment block
I'll sweep everything off so that no one comes back
Don't you dare to come after me I'll knock out your breath
I used to be on the run
But I crush everything now I'm sipping it like juice
- Yes! - All right.
How did he get the rhythm so perfect?
Yes. Shout it out.
What is it? Yes.
Gotta go, put in that sweat
Gotta go, make it wave
Gotta go, make it rain
Because of the money that made me a savage
My life is still a race
I run like Tay-K, Ain't nothing safe here
Feel like I'm Tyreek, I aim for a touchdown
When I move, that's a hot place
The review mirror is still full
Their lights try to stop me
They can't even put a dent, rats are their nicknames
The most you can do is rap
You flinch, that's the reality
I don't even need to look because he's fake
That's why success is my thing
Just live like that, I'll check on my wrist
I'm the one, I'm the one, you're going to pass the crowd
I run for 24 hours like I'm Kobe Bryant
I was stuck in the mud, I'm going to take the spot
He said, "What are you going to do? Set the game this time"
Yes.
Let's go.
It's obvious who the winner is.
The battle has ended.
(The battle between Starter 2 and Opposer 43 ends.)
We will now begin the vote.
Please stand behind the rapper who has done better
in your opinion.
The vote begins now.
(The voting begins.)
The vote is now closed.
- Oh, no. - What?
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter loses with 2 votes. Opposer wins with 56 votes.)
(Opposer, number 43 wins.)
There's no one behind me.
(My goodness)
The rappers behind me split like the Red Sea.
It was cruel.
The starker the difference is between the skills,
the more cruel the picture will become.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper Two's mask.
(gamma)
(Lose: gamma)
It's gamma.
Gosh, it was so disappointing.
I didn't expect such a big difference
between the votes.
If I get another chance, I can slice him up.
I'd like to take off my own mask.
It's humiliating
to have someone else take off my mask.
I really don't want to lose.
The winning rapper, Rapper 43.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 43)
Take off your mask.
As soon as I heard his rap, I thought that he might be
(KHAN)
(Win: KHAN)
I could tell from his hairstyle.
Mask Off.
I won the battle with a score of 56 to 2.
I'm not nervous yet.
My goal is victory.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
If you want to be the starter, please come up to the stage.
Gosh, he was very fast.
Come on up, you losers.
What?
For goodness' sake.
He swore at us.
He swore right away.
His confidence is insane.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
I won't keep it long. I'll send you home.
Fight.
He swore at us. He called us losers.
It'd be strange to hear that and stand still.
I decided to destroy him.
It'll be fun. It'll be electrifying.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
You loser.
Your eyes tell me that you can't rap even if your life depended on it.
What a loser.
He began by swearing.
We have a pottymouth.
This is stressing me out.
I hope hip-hop will go under
All the rappers in Korea are doomed
They write comments with their faces covered
Because of this punk's mom joke, I lost all my upvotes
Korean hip-hop musicians are fighting on Instagram again
I'll go scratch them up, Let's go and attack them
Why would a rapper talk so much? This punk is all serious again
Say what you want with rap, you punk You get offended
Like a loser
- You get offended like a loser - He knows how to annoy someone.
Hip-hop losers, pipe down
Lee Chan Hyuk got you wiping down, Men's Tear got you wiping down
Keep going, fight now A traditionalist should shut it
Gosh, my comment is at the top What a dopamine rush
Hip-hop? I don't know Why should I care?
Just die, you know that's the only way to end this
My dopamine level is recharged I'll sleep with my feet stretched
Do I feel guilty? These punks can't see me anyway
All right.
- That was intense. - He's good.
I'll rip him apart.
Drop the beat.
What are you saying?
Do I look like a loser? Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
I won't keep it long You need more years of aging
Tone, lifestyle, rhyme The things you squeezed out
You're busy figuring out what's superior like the past me
You self-disrespect without knowing what's happening
I won't keep it long
- This is interesting. - I need more achievements
- It isn't because I'm good - He's taunting the opposer.
I live in an unjust society
I know that talent and success are two different things
I catch up with the tog dogs even if I must rip my legs
Let me be honest with you
You seem to be far from the truth
Your fake lyrics and jewelry get on my nerve
No, I simply accept what I can't change
Know that your antics won't work, my friend
But I know rap is still beautiful
Although I was born a nerd, I got the artisan groove
Move, if it gets on your nerve
If it gets on your nerve
Don't trust the faulty goods who pretend to be rappers
I won't keep it long Show me your limits
You can't beat me anyway
(The battle between Starter 1 and Opposer 31 ends.)
You know, the starter's laugh was too strong.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
The music needed confidence, but he got intimidated.
My opponent messed up a bit.
I think I'll win.
The vote is now closed.
(Starter wins with 41 votes. Opposer loses with 17 votes.)
(Starter, number 1 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 31's mask.
(O'Domar)
(Lose: O'Domar)
It's O'Domar.
It's O'Domar.
It's O'Domar.
The winning rapper, Rapper One. Take off your mask.
Who is it?
I had my eyes on him. I'm so curious about his identity.
(Kaogaii)
(Win: Kaogaii)
Kaogaii!
Kaogaii.
He rapped well with confidence.
He rapped with ease. It was no joke.
Spirit. Kaogaii has the spirit.
I'm Kaogaii,
and I'm here to take over RAP:PUBLIC.
My performance was very fresh. That's all.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
I want to perform early on, but I'm a bit nervous.
I'm thinking about performing early on.
If you want to be the starter, please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
He can jump well.
I didn't feel nervous at all when I got here.
I thought, "It'll be fun."
Hello.
Who wants to compete against me?
Please come on up.
It's Roh Yun Ha.
It's Yun Ha.
Roh Yun Ha.
Hello, everyone.
I'm here to crush the old rappers.
I'm Roh Yun Ha. It's nice to meet you.
(He placed 2nd on "High School Rapper 4.")
(He's the best among those who were on "High School Rapper.")
(He'll take over the Korean hip-hop scene.)
(He entered the semifinal of "Show Me the Money 11.")
(The monster rapper of the survival shows, Roh Yun Ha)
I have an advantage when it comes to rap battles.
It'll be embarrassing if I lose.
If you want to be the opposer, please come up to the stage.
He's too talented.
He's a bit of a scary opponent.
- My goodness. - Who could he be?
That's cool. That's really cool.
Everyone is brave.
I wasn't going to do this early on,
but my body took me here.
I heard his voice and recognized him as Roh Yun Ha.
Then I thought, "No one is going up the stage."
"If I beat him,"
"it'll be fun for the onlookers."
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's Roh Yun Ha.
Yes.
Twenty-twenty-four, it's on the season.
I can feel it, now, it's my time
Why? Punk, I always do well
Don't come at me, you'll be knocked down
Yes.
Press down, how you doin?
A greeting is a trick, a lot of fakes out
What do you want me to do? These punks sure talk a lot
Blah, blah, they always blame the system
Your rap tells me why this place is going down
Even when I put on a mask, people figure out who I am
You know how my flow goes, the source is clearly clear
Baby, I'm not a clone All of my words are stunning
The choice is yours, I'll cater to you if you want it
Yes
Don't waste it, I'm making money I need more commas, so tasty
I act like Hollywood, probably even stretching
Because it's my dream to be the GOAT It won't be easy
Fresh all the time, always giggling
I'm still 22, ain't no creaky
I make a move
- I'm like a bouncer - He's good.
This is my type, move out of the way if you know
It's game over if your rap makes people dance.
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time, I'm done
Roh Yun Ha!
He's really good.
He's energetic.
Give me the beat right away.
Yes.
Now, getting my hair dyed costs one percent of my monthly salary
All I need is one microphone Even if I win the lottery
Like Nucksal of 2015
The pessimistic and nerdy guy You envy my chromosomes
After my album became a hit, pressure built up deep in my heart
I'm going through a slump, but that's my catalyst
Who am I? I'm a blade that becomes sharp before death
Those who got defeated by us call me bad
AI can replace you Your chain is rusty, take that
Have an emergency meeting with Auto-Tune
Use meditation instead of pills from a psychiatrist
The game changer with the third eye
Please don't cry Your hands and feet are tied
Break the peace, if this is a movie, we're only at the trailer
I'll be on Wikipedia as the leader of the seventh-generation hip-hop
- Yes. - Take that
(The battle between Starter 10 and Opposer 28 ends.)
It was so cool.
He did really well.
It was neck-and-neck.
We will now begin the vote.
I don't know which one to choose.
Both of them did well.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
Is it a tie?
I think we'll see a tie for the first time.
No way. More people are on that side.
More people are on that side. Maybe I'm wrong.
(Starter wins with 35 votes. Opposer loses with 23 votes.)
(Starter, number 10 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 28's mask.
(skyminhyuk)
(Lose: skyminhyuk)
He's incredibly talented.
(With his album, "Liberation," skyminhyuk became a rising star.)
Had I done better
Had six more people come to my side
The winning rapper, Rapper Ten.
Take off your mask.
(Roh Yun Ha)
(Win: Roh Yun Ha)
I headbutted my opponent like the bull of Red Bull and won today.
I'll headbutt my opponent like a bull and win next time as well.
Yes.
(Mask Off continues on.)
Here's a big one.
He's so big.
He's the size of a fridge.
Don't play around with me, you bastard
Get some bangs and be pretty
I didn't even carry a backpack in my school days
But my account balance shows so many zeroes
Teachers asked me, "What will you do if you don't study?"
Come on out now
They looked at me and frowned
What?
For goodness' sake.
Turn off the beat.
What was that?
He did it again.
(Polodared)
He's well-known for it.
He was rapping on "Show Me the Money."
"For goodness' sake. Turn off the beat."
(His appearance on "Show Me the Money 10" went viral.)
(Turn off the beat!)
There's one thing in common, I say
To my side thing and my oppositions, "Drop yo' location"
Even if you guys know it, you can't copy and paste it
You can't even be my imitation
I'm going to knock one of you out and tuck you tight
- What? He's so good. - Good night, I be cooking so heavy
Somebody go and get me some Michelin stars
(Yang Kyle)
- Was he the winner of "RAPCUP?" - Yes.
They're going to find out who's a real rookie
Everyone's attention is on the rising star
The themed stocks are getting wiped out
But I'm keeping my balance
I've never taken a break, I've always been moving
Everyone became a sage like Rick Rubin
- My landlord, I swear - He's so good.
(Marv)
Marv.
You're cool.
I'm like a boxer because I need the hunnid round
- He was so good. I was shocked. - I'm like Lee Bong Ju
Because I always walk them down
- My songs are like a coup d'etat - He's good.
They make the whole town rise
I'm a controversial rapper, everyone falls for me
It was unbelievable.
- Yes. - I haven't seen him before.
They went, "He's on the rise these days."
(Tray B)
Tray B.
So there are talented rookies I don't know about.
(Lose: BBULKUP)
- BBULKUP. - BBULKUP?
BBULKUP?
- Isn't he a YouTuber? - Is he a YouTuber?
I think he is.
JOONIE?
JOONIE.
She's pretty.
- I think she's an idol. - She's pretty.
There was a variety of people.
Was she a foreigner?
(Drain K, JP)
(James An)
(DAMINI)
(Kang Hyuk)
(Kim Ga Yeon)
(VIIN)
VIIN.
- Kim Ryul. - Kim Ryul.
He's handsome.
There are so many rappers from various genres.
It'll be fun.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
If you want to be the starter,
please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
He took the stage right away.
Come up and beat me.
What?
What? Is it a provocation?
His spirit is impressive. Okay.
If you want to be the opposer,
please come up to the stage.
He's built like a warrior.
Who could he be?
Don't get tight.
What?
I'm curious.
I knew that I was going to win
because nobody raps like me.
Now, the battle will begin.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Yo, everything dead, I'm smoking your fam
BIG YEL, we keep clicking
Yo, everything dead, I'm smoking your fam
BIG YEL, we keep clicking
Like a loser, you asked your friend if he knew Fleeky
CRAY and KAY, I hate oldies
I wonder you're dead, like I'm Stevie
No one can deny it, B, A, N, G, O, A, T, feel like Keke
I'll send all these rappers home
Hurry up and call the taxis like Jay Park
They said I wouldn't survive, but I show them my Day-Date
Hope out the V, hurry up and rob me if you can
You can't copy my swag, your album is a copy of mine
You keep falling and I keep rising
Feeling like I'm Kobe, 24, ain't no stopping
Celine and Prada and Fendi, I'm rocking
I never have beef with beggars
You can't reach my level
Like Jack Harlow, What's popping?
Everything dead, everything dead
Everyone's dead except for BIG YEL
KAY G, RUNNER, my boys, facts
I see an opp, CRAY, go blast
Fashion killer like Rocky, I have a party every night
You're 30 and broke
So you live with your mom, you're not Coogie
Losers, don't listen to my music Same goes for the oldies
Wipe your keyboard and mouse, you punk
You ended up that way because of your mom
He's good.
He changed, "Gang, gang, gang."
How did he hold it in?
He was good.
I thought that he'd win.
I don't know who he is.
Who is he?
I'm going to show you the real gang, gang.
Same number, who this?
My designer items are never fake My chopper is shiny
If I see you, then I really got you
Hold up, one minute, wait
You know you're a side piece like a side dish
Just one shot, one glass My chain looks like an apple
With my chopsticks, I eat you like soy sauce
Trap, car, honk, honk, honk
My chopper sings well, noraebang, bang, bang
Don't do it, you not a stepper, Don't go
Whip the work like kimchi, Like a middle-aged woman
Bro, sit down, sit down
I got the fire, I can start anything
Running down, there goes my gun
And if I want it, then I take it
That was so fresh.
Yes, sir.
(The battle between Starter 51 and Opposer 13 ends.)
Now, that was some real gangster rap, for real.
I thought it was crazy.
Should I say it was original? I liked his spirit.
We will now begin the vote.
My gosh, this is a close one.
Please proceed with voting.
(The voting begins.)
I don't know whom to pick this time.
What?
My gosh, this one is neck and neck.
This one will come down to the wire.
(The vote is now closed.)
(Starter: 25 votes, Opposer: 33 votes)
(Opposer 13 wins.)
Honk!
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 51's mask.
(Remove the mask from the losing rapper, Rapper 51.)
(Fleeky Bang)
(Fleeky Bang)
(His gang-gang-gang meme went viral among teenagers.)
(This rapper established himself in the scene with his own style.)
(He's the future of the Korean hip-hop scene.)
(His album is incredible. I can't believe he's only a rookie.)
- The winning rapper, Rapper 13. - Gosh.
Rapper 13. Take off your mask.
A rapping guru showed up at the battle.
Was he an evil grandpa or something?
It was like he was spitting out evil spells.
Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 13, takes off his mask.)
(Double Down)
(Double Down)
My name is Double Down.
My occupation is a rap star.
I'm from TSP. Top Shelf Product is my label.
We're based out in New York.
And they're here with me now in Korea.
I'm with Nosun and Foggyatthebottom.
Double Down?
That explains why he didn't understand Korean that well.
It was really unexpected that Fleeky Bang lost.
Fleeky Bang is quite popular.
To put it simply, no one saw it coming.
Well, I'll make sure to win if I get to go up against him again.
Anybody can get it.
I think it will be hard to top me.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Let's go.
Why don't we lighten the mood? What do you say?
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper, please come up
Please come up to the stage.
- Gosh. - Oh, shoot!
He backed off.
Bless. Let's have a good one.
I didn't have a particular reason behind choosing him.
I thought I should perform soon
before I lost any more energy in order to win the battle.
Ready.
- Start. - Let's get it.
Yes, let's go.
I hop on a coupe, they all call me a baller
Looking at you makes me pity you, I'll make you my daughter
I won't stop, I'm flowing like water
She's making me sweat, and she's making me hotter
The moment I open my eyes, my thoughts swarm in
The chains around my neck all freeze up
- Who is that? - Come at me, I'm always ready
To slaughter, you have it tough, trying to act
My movements are low-key, I'm witty like Manu Ginobli
My girl gives you a nosebleed
But don't be a fool because you're not my Brodie
Where the fun are my medals and trophies
I'll bang you in the head, I stole and copied that boy
Okay.
He just went for it.
My gosh.
DJ, drop the beat!
After hearing his flow, I thought his rap was weak.
I thought I had an 80 percent chance that I would beat him.
Gold
Let's go.
- Gold - Gosh, this one will be intense.
The captain gold, I'm on that captain gold
Dollar bills rain down, straight to my account
I stand at the starting line
I begin again for the hall of fame
Tell them, I'm trying to eat
I'll eat everything up like in the eating show
So I've got to say
- My gosh. - Oh, shoot!
Hey, you there, you know how it goes
Hey, you, there it goes
There it goes
Oh, shoot.
Oh, my.
He must have been really nervous.
Hey, 100 in 1 day, she was great
Now, I'll be munching at the Chinese buffet
You come to
(Rapper 4 continues rapping without the music.)
I've got it bad, shop for my meal, and talk about
What?
And talk about
(The battle between Starter 33 and Opposer 4 ends.)
- Oh, shoot. - Oh, shoot.
(Sighing)
I totally bombed it.
I'm too good to mess up this early on.
He totally bombed it. This is so bad.
My head just went blank.
We will now begin the vote.
My gosh, it's a pity that number four totally bombed it.
He was even wearing gloves. His hands must be sweating.
There's nothing I can do.
- Oh, my. - He didn't get a single vote?
(Starter: 56 votes, Opposer: 2 votes)
(Starter 33 wins.)
Goodness.
Seeing a lot of people on this side
when you're on the stage must make you so angry.
It was humiliating.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper Four's mask.
It was so disappointing and sad.
It was humiliating.
I totally bombed it. I couldn't bounce back from it.
I have no idea who number four is.
- My gosh. Seriously? - Goodness.
Everyone is shocked.
(GOLDBUUDA)
(GOLDBUUDA)
- It was GOLDBUUDA? - It was GOLDBUUDA.
It really is him.
Yes, sir. I'm New Wave Dangun.
GB, the One Love. Hello, I'm GOLDBUUDA.
(Lil Cherry and GOLDBUUDA, the siblings are beloved)
(for their unique style.)
It was unexpected.
I never imagined that I would see him on RAP:PUBLIC.
I wanted to compete on RAP:PUBLIC for a reason.
So far, I've been performing with Lil Cherry as a duo.
I don't want to be seen as just Lil Cherry's brother.
I wanted to branch out on my own
and be acknowledged as a solo rapper.
That's why I'm here.
Number 33. Take off your mask.
(XWALLY)
- It's XWALLY. - It's XWALLY.
GOLDBUUDA has been in this industry for a long time.
He's a very talented rapper, actually.
But his rap was so weird.
My gosh, it has to be the most embarrassing moment of my career.
- It's great to see you here. - Hey.
- You did well. - It's okay.
Oh, dear. I was so nervous.
It'd be great if you could cut out the losing rappers' performances.
Please.
Do you want to take off the mask?
But so many people are trying to grab the microphone.
I just want to take off my mask now.
It's so stuffy to have it on.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
All right. Let's have fun with it.
My gosh, this is going to be a fun one.
Go for it.
I had to come up after hearing her voice.
- Who is that? - Who is it?
His voice sounds familiar.
Ready.
Start.
Okay, let's go.
I climbed up the ladder, one step at a time
After my album, the mainstream media is my next step
People thought I would get eliminated early on
But I showed them how it was done and got my sweet revenge
Hundreds of thousands of dollars hit my bank account
I put out an album along with several tapes
But they still follow the gossip, so I do another pull-up
I must raise my pay again, so I came back
She's good.
Who says I'm overplaying my image when I haven't shown anyone my butt
You'll be the first to follow me
Saying you're my fans, so don't act so innocent
She's good.
Music is what I want to sell first, and the rest is a side hustle
I just get paid for my rap
I'll break down this wall
- Even if it breaks my head - She's too good.
Timing is on my side
Those who claim the scene is dead
- And have no faith should get lost - I love it.
Being certain in the uncertain times is the real deal
Before you complain about the cap, find yourself first
I want a lot of money, and so do you
But you can't be like me
Here's why, it's not about your age or looks
It's because
- You're not as good as me, so what? - She's so ballsy.
So what?
- Oh, shoot. Oh, my. - Yes!
- Gosh, she killed it. - Yes!
- Let's go, my brother. - My gosh.
I don't know who she is, but she's incredible.
Hey, what the heck!
- She's so good. - That was so cool.
She's a warrior.
Her vocalization was so good.
I was really impressed.
Let's have a blast.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Let's get it.
Even his beat is getting me excited.
- Isn't this Hangzoo? No? - Put your hands up.
Hey!
Pay attention, look at my stuff, look at my team
I see red
With the funky rhythm, I'll be kicking with tension
A drunk dog
Gets the party started, Akaraka
I don't know what people say, I just let it happen
These sorry rappers from tonight, they're just all talk
The king has come to RAP:PUBLIC
- She crushed him. - Like Einstein taking a school exam
The chemistry of different classes with the Ngannou Punch
A drunk dog
Gets the party started, Akaraka
(The battle between Starter 29 and Opposer 40 ends.)
We will now begin the vote.
Yes, 29 went crazy.
The lady killed it.
My gosh, she was way too good.
(What's the result of their battle?)
(Starter: 56 votes, Opposer: 2 votes)
She won by a landslide.
Oh, my.
(Starter 29 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 40's mask.
- Be bold. - Go.
Go ahead.
- It's Geegooin. - What?
(Geegooin)
(Geegooin)
The winning rapper, Rapper 29.
Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, Rapper 29, takes off her mask.)
(SINCE)
(SINCE)
It was SINCE.
(She left a strong impression after winning second place)
(on "Show Me the Money 10.")
(She was the first female rapper)
(to win the New Artist of the Year in 2022.)
What?
Were they on different teams?
- On "Show Me the Money 10?" - They had a thing.
Yes, right!
- No way. - Will that continue here?
(They met on "Show Me the Money 10.")
(And he surprised her with a love confession.)
That's why I bombed it.
- Gosh. - You killed it.
I had no idea you would be here.
Then how many contestants from "Show Me the Money" are here?
I knew people from "Show Me the Money" would be here.
Smoke in my mouth, I'm riding to the airport
It takes 4.1 seconds to hit 100km per hour
I'm a VVIP in whatever city I'm in
Pick up the phone right now
That's Seong Kyung, right?
Boi B.
(Boi B wins.)
It rained until yesterday
I go to the top, look down, and laugh
I go to the top and have my city at my feet
It's Mckdaddy.
I watched "Show Me the Money" a lot.
I was quite surprised.
Now I'm chilling and high like palm trees
I'm ready to take flight again when you're blinded by jealousy
That's why some guys avoid me even more
Failures are great for success
And I believe in myself
(Reddy)
- That's Reddy? - No wonder.
I had no idea.
No, the dollar bills are my dopamine
Piles of them give me orgasm like cocaine
What do you want to gain from this game?
There are things that are better than money
The moment I heard his voice, I had a feeling it was Jo Gwang Il.
It was Jo Gwang Il.
(Jo Gwang Il)
He was the winner of "Show Me the Money 10."
I thought the lineup for this show was just insane.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first,
- please come up to the stage. - Oh, my.
- Please come up to the stage. - Oh, my.
Shoot. That was too fast.
Hey, watch out.
Darn it. I should've learned how to run first.
If you think you're the best, come up.
Oh, my.
He seems so intense.
I'm glad I didn't go up.
You asked for me, so I'm here.
You asked for me, so I'm here.
You might have made a mistake.
That was savage.
He's pretty cool.
You know, that guy. Number eight.
Who do you think he is? Check out his posture.
The way he was standing up
I've seen it somewhere.
I've seen him stand like that.
It's him.
You're right.
Ready.
Start.
Drop the beat.
Hey, this is me, 59.
Listen.
Cheer three times right on time
I'll sing a Korean song
Look at that fine lady, but you're still as arrogant as ever
Tell her you can't make it
I, born in 2005, am making my way back
I undid the leash on Pavlov's dog
I'm dodging stones, even the ones meant to fly
F-I-V-E-L-I-N-E-S, it's time to rise
It's a rare beautiful day
Hello, ladies, I'm the young master of the 21st century
I tend to leave the mistakes of the past far behind me
When people pretend to be mentally ill in this scene
It was some kid stuff, that was back in the day
I got pens and notebooks, I was only 14
There were desks all around me
But you got no color even with that big head of yours
See if you can dance like me, you punk
You got no sense of rhythm, so you can't pull this off
See if you can dance like me, you punk
You got no sense of rhythm, so you can't pull this off
Even your vocabulary is subpar and pathetic
Now bring me a coffee without the syrup
My gosh, he was about to kiss number eight.
Cute.
Okay. I liked the dance, though.
I thought he was on fire.
I loved it.
When he rapped, I could feel his aura too.
Let's go, DJ.
His vocalization is insane. He's got a booming voice.
The deity blessed me with nothing but the best
- It's him, right? - Yes.
It's him, right?
I'm leading the orchestra with my natural finesse
This accent has been with me since I was in middle school
Why do I need advice?
- His vocalization is so clear! - I didn't need anything else
So I'm reaching nirvana and dunking my desires in the Nile
He's much better.
These fools think I'm angry, but I turn my rage into art
- Who is that? He's rocking it. - I know
How to handle drama in my life just like a movie director
Everything is under control, cameras are rolling
This will be another memory, Obviously, it'll be a hit again
I'm no murderer, but I kill it every time
I'm killing this beat, and this is all real
Since I was a rookie, I've stood shoulder to shoulder
They never put me down just because I'm young
- He's on fire. - I walk weird and am out of line
They say I slur my words on purpose just like this
Manifest it all, hardships or whatever, now I want it all
I don't care if it's pain or gains, I'll grab my backpack
I'm a traveler, ready to go anywhere in the world
I'm even ready to pick up whatever comes my way
I have my eyes on the throne
- I know who he is. - I've got nothing to fear
It's him, right?
I have my eyes on the throne
I've got nothing to fear
- I'm a gem in the dark - They're fighting.
They're fighting.
Wait, they won't.
I like number eight more.
What was that? That was wild.
He's so good.
It was overwhelming.
The real deal has come.
The battle has ended.
He did better than me on my beat.
But number 59 had more to show.
(The voting begins.)
I like it here.
What's going on? This is the right side.
I think his showmanship on the stage was better.
I was hooked on his rap.
(The vote is now closed.)
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 19 votes, Opposer: 39 votes)
(The opposer, number 8, wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 59's mask.
- OSUN. - OSUN.
OSUN.
Five Lines.
He was on "High School Rapper," right?
He lost a lot of weight.
The winning rapper,
number eight. Take off your mask.
(HAON)
(HAON)
Gosh, this is unexpected.
I had a feeling it might be him.
- I was right. - What?
- Is he in a bad mood? - What?
No, he's been like that the whole day.
Hello.
It's been six years
since I starred in "High School Rapper 2."
My name is HAON.
Hi, let me introduce myself
(He drew attention early on with his one-of-a-kind style.)
(With his unparalleled rap skills, he was constantly in the limelight.)
(Then he won the competition.)
I'll continue to impress you
and bring something new to the table.
Let's see, bozo
(He released his 1st full-length album 6 years since debut.)
(- HAON is the future. - HAON, you don't need to meditate.)
(- This is the flow of the year. - His new style rocks.)
(He made his return, gaining praise for his improved talent.)
I looked at the screen and saw his name there. I was like,
"What? Really?"
I didn't see it coming.
I had no idea he would be here.
"He's on the show too?" That's how I felt.
I started to write lyrics because I was motivated
by HAON.
I thought, "Gosh, we were meant to meet."
If I get a chance to battle him again,
I'm going to get back at him for this.
Honestly, I'm furious.
You already gave up.
It's not that I gave up. I'm going with plan B.
You're aware that
your decision pushed us closer to the worst-case scenario, right?
Well, right.
All right. That's all I needed to hear.
I'm off.
- He's angry. - Of course, he is.
(Meanwhile, the battles have been going on for a long time.)
(This rapper is enjoying all the battles without a break.)
What do you call that? The nail extensions.
The one with the nail extensions.
The one with nail extensions as long as fingers.
Her nails were as long as this.
She couldn't stay still when other people were rapping.
I was really curious about this rapper.
I was like, "Who is this girl?"
What are those? Are those Wolverine nails?
She put swords on her nails.
If there's anything you would like to say, go ahead.
Nice to meet you all. Let's go.
Me! Please let me do it.
Ms. Wolverine has been wanting to battle it out for some time.
Gosh, I really want to battle it out.
Please come up to the stage.
- Please come up to the stage. - Darn it.
When will I get to do it?
So how is she going to grab the microphone?
I don't think she can do it because of her nails.
Me! Please let me do it.
Let her do it. She's so desperate.
Yes!
(Rapper 45 finally gets on the stage after a long wait.)
Let's go, Nails!
My biggest curiosity was how she would handle the microphone.
Ms. Wolverine. Hey, she did it.
Hello. Is it working? Yes.
Her nails were super long. And she was missing three nails.
The battle begins now.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I'm spitting out another verse, move it, if you don't, you'll crash
Time's flown by
But how could I forget my past?
I get one shot at a life
The genre of my theme song is an adventure
This fool's no good, she's a joke, straight up
Look me in the eyes, speak the truth
You say I need to get a grip, but what are you on?
You stupid head, get lost
Even I think I'm too fly
And that's my problem
I'll be banging and go out with a bang, no doubt
There will be a big bang after I'm gone
A pretty girl calls me up
It goes off all night long, but I won't answer it
I'm sorry, I'm busy
What am I up to? I'm popping another one
Yes.
Respect.
He's skilled indeed.
All right. Here I go.
I'm looking forward to this. I hope she does well.
I'm so curious about her rap.
Okay.
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out, and it hurt
- I got my wisdom tooth out - What did she say?
- Yes, it's out, and it hurt - She got her wisdom tooth out?
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - Okay.
It hurt like crazy once I got my wisdom tooth out
The anesthesia wears off, and the pain doubles and triples
Doc, do something, what am I going to do?
I can't eat spicy or salty food
What? How am I going to live now?
But now that it's gone, it feels nice
I don't know why I got scared then
- I pulled out every rotten tooth - Who is that?
That put me in pain, out like that
Oh, my wisdom tooth
Get rid of the bad memory
Toss the tooth away
- Toss it aside with my depression - What is this?
Just like the wisdom tooth that was irritated and rotten,
Self blame was only taking up space in my head
So erase it from my mind right away
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
- I got my wisdom tooth out - I got my wisdom tooth out
- Yes, it's out - Yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
I got my wisdom tooth out, yes, it's out
- And it hurt - And it hurt
- I took out my wisdom - I can totally feel it.
And it hurt
I took out my wisdom
- And it hurt - She's a great performer, though.
I took out my wisdom
- And it hurt, I took out - I can't stop dancing to it.
I took out my wisdom, and it hurt
(The battle between Starter 34 and Opposer 45 ends.)
I'll vote for her.
It was so catchy.
I'll remember her performance for at least three years.
It hurts like crazy when you get your wisdom tooth out.
I want her to get one more wisdom tooth out.
So she can perform one more time.
She gave it all.
You were in a lot of pain.
The battle has ended.
You were in a lot of pain.
- Oh, shoot. Gosh. - My gosh.
Did it hurt?
Your nails are dropping like flies.
What? They're disposable after one use. Where are they?
Thank you.
We will now begin the vote.
Gosh, I don't know.
- The fun one ought to win. - I'm not sure.
I'll go to the wisdom tooth girl.
Her style is so unique.
It was the first time people started to sing along.
People were quite responsive when she rapped.
So I was a bit worried.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 41 votes, Opposer: 17 votes)
(Starter 34 wins.)
She lost, but she put up a good fight.
But clearly, he was a better rapper.
She doesn't seem serious about rapping like other people.
If she was in pain because she got her wisdom tooth out,
she should go to a dental clinic.
I think she came to the wrong place.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 45's mask.
Hello.
Who is she?
I can't wait to find out who she is.
Who is that?
(COCONA)
(COCONA)
- COCONA? - COCONA?
- Do you know her? - No.
Thank you.
Hello.
I'm an optimistic musician
who stays true to her music. My name is COCONA.
The winning rapper, 34. Take off your mask.
(ZENE THE ZILLA)
- ZENE THE ZILLA. - Hello.
(ZENE THE ZILLA)
She took out her wisdom tooth? I wonder how much pain she was in.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
Please come up to the stage.
Oh, no.
Gosh, he looks like a bear.
- There he is. - Gosh.
He looks big.
My gosh.
- What? - What?
Well, this is a nerve-racking moment.
What? I think I know who this is.
I think it's Mills.
It was impossible not to recognize him.
Every rapper must be able to.
How could anyone not recognize him?
- That must be Don Mills, right? - Yes.
Given the build, it has to be Don Mills.
It's Don Mills, right?
Hello, I'm Don Mills.
Nice to meet you, everyone.
(This talented rapper)
(with tons of experience dominated the scene.)
(The master of infectious hooks is famous for his cheerful vibe.)
My identity is a secret.
My gosh. Come on.
I didn't want my identity to be revealed.
So I tried to hide it.
But I couldn't help it. I spoke like my usual self.
I'm envious. Everyone recognizes his voice.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
That's so cool.
It was clear to everyone that it was Don Mills.
Despite knowing that, he still went for it. How confident.
I love his fighting spirit.
Actually, I'm a huge fan.
Thank you.
Let's have a good one.
Let's go!
- Let's go! - Gosh, he's got a nice attitude.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hey, let's go.
What?
What did you do when I was on the move?
- What? - Okay.
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
Clickety-clack, you were holed up at home all day
Your fingers are busy, flying on the keyboard
For me, I've been stuck in reality, paying off my loan
I'd rather forget unfamiliar words like rent and credit scores
They say starting is half the battle
But it's been over ten years I've been playing this game
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
My monthly royalties? They just make me sigh
This makes no sense
People say it'll work out, but who are they kidding?
Money is flowing out like the water from a broken jar
No one's to blame but yourself, What a fool you are
This mindset won't get you paid
You'll chase away the success even when you get close.
Are you scared? Just do something and get over it
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
What did you do when I was on the move?
Hey.
- Mills is going to do it. - What was that?
- Mills is going to do it. - What was that?
- What? - Hey.
- Mills is going to do it. - What did you say?
Hey.
Thank you.
He has no intention of hiding his identity.
He must find it funny too.
"Mills is going to do it?"
He made it so obvious.
Gosh, I have no idea who he is.
I thought that he was losing it.
All right, give me the beat.
Let's go.
What?
You guys keep asking me, so who's stepping up first?
With one shot, your mind goes blank
- Don Mills might lose. - Know your place
I'm grinding like a dog
Every step I took has put me on the right path
- I've never lost my way, so what? - He's crushing it.
Your future is bleak, you're stepping on thin ice
You can't gauge the depth below
Darkness fills your eyes under your feet
I'm balling like Embiid from Philly, that's how I'm feeling
It's too late, defeat suits you
Oh, man, I get the hotheads to sit down
I baptize them in flames with oil over their heads
When you complain, I keep stoking the fire
- Who is that? - I have no idea.
Everything splits in two, XO just like tic-tac-toe.
You can't be my opponent
- You'd better say my name right - Okay.
Fight, keep it on sight, come at me
This is the highlight, double time it, keep the rhyme tight
If you come at me thinking we're equal
- Here's what I'll say to you, bye - Don Mills is in big trouble.
Your future is bleak, you're stepping on thin ice
They don't want me, but I'm stunning, man
They don't want me, but I'm stunning
- Oh, my. - My gosh.
Sorry, Don Mills.
Good work.
The battle has ended.
Don Mills is famous, and everyone knows him.
But he leaned on Don Mills
while doing his own thing.
I thought number 11 was gutsy.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
My gosh, this one is hard.
I'm kind of torn.
- I don't know whom to vote. - Right.
There's nothing I can do.
I still think Don Mills did a bit better.
It would've been better if he didn't mess up.
The 1st part was great, but the 2nd part was a bit lacking.
The vote is now closed.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
What? He lost?
(Starter: 24 votes, Opposer: 34 votes)
His mistake must have affected the result.
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 14's mask.
- Good work. - Good work.
Thank you.
(Don Mills)
- Oh, no. Don Mills! - Thank you.
I think I'm off to a great start.
My performances will improve as the show goes on.
I'll end up winning the whole thing.
That's my big picture.
The winning rapper, 11.
Take off your mask.
Who is this?
Who's he?
Who is he?
(Daniel Jikal)
(Daniel Jikal)
- Daniel Jikal. - I see.
Daniel Jikal?
You know him?
I've never seen him before.
Daniel Jikal.
My head went blank.
I don't remember his name.
Jack Kiri.. Or something.
Oh, no.
Hello. I'm from the States.
I'm with P NATION, which is run by PSY.
I'm a rookie artist, Daniel Jikal. Nice to meet you.
Wait. Isn't he from P NATION?
P NATION.
A solo artist from P NATION.
- A solo artist? - Yes.
I'm seeing many new faces.
Actually,
I thought
he was Swings.
(Actually, I'm a huge fan.)
(He exchanged greetings while mistaking the identity.)
But he wasn't Swings.
I think everyone here is quite objective.
They're only judging based on the performances.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
(Rapper 23 is the starter this time.)
Let's go.
Before accepting a challenger,
you can address the group.
Well,
I'm looking for someone who will make a beautiful memory with me.
I'm looking for someone who will make a beautiful memory with me.
(Bowing)
(Ignoring)
Who is that?
I don't like him.
You may address the starting rapper.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
- My gosh. - He doesn't want to.
- The battle - Oh, my.
will begin now.
I've been watching him.
I'm really curious.
- He acts so cool. - Ready.
I'm serious.
Ready.
Start.
Okay. Let's go.
Yes, I'm smoking a pack too much
I'm walking outside, don't be playing
I'm winning all games, going crazy
My money is the greenest salad
These fools all come from the same package
They're all the same
Don't waste my time, I've got missions
I'm high up on the chain, at the highest with two million
Yes, I'm back on the street
These fools keep talking about stupid stuff
You keep chasing the money
Just no one will stick with you
Just no one will stand by you
You'll have to ask her to stay
You'll have to make something of yourself
But I don't need to buy the lotto
You, L-B-A-K, we're going right now
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - His vibe was cool.
It was hip.
That was weak, for real.
That was weak, for real.
Let's go.
What?
What?
Life is too short, I'm going to give it my best
So I won't have any regrets even if I die
I've got to keep my soul, I can't sell my soul
I sold everything but my soul
This is the life I chose, it was my call
I changed a lot after I failed high school
I've got to take the risk, I've got to flick the wrist
To make big money, I can't play by the rules
She wants my wood, her name is Vivian
She tells me not to leave yet
She tells me not to leave yet
I tell her what's up because I have to make it big
It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do
I don't want to be on TV
Because people will see my face
I only want to do whatever I want
I pop some Zs, just so I can sleep
White teeth ain't no
Time, that's all I need
Or witch, hold my microphone
You guys are just wannabes
My life is about to get good
I'm a little boy with some big dreams
I just want to get geeked
My bad like Mona Lisa
I want a neck piece from nature that's more expensive than yours
The whole body turns into a freezer, cocaine and Nike on my feet
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
Step on the blood with my fresh kicks
(The battle between Starter 23 and Opposer 27 ends.)
To be honest, I was furious.
He didn't even know me. How could he put his hand on me?
It was really annoying.
We will now begin the vote.
Let's go.
I don't know whom to vote for.
It's harder to vote as we continue.
- That's right. - Right?
The voting is now closed.
This looks even.
- It looks even, right? - Seven, eight
It does.
When I saw how many people were standing behind him,
I thought it wouldn't be easy.
I was confused.
I think it may be a tie or I could turn the table around.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter: 26 votes, Opposer: 32 votes)
(Opposer 27 wins.)
Having good manners is really important.
I really hated how number 23 touched number 27 at the end.
Why did he act so recklessly like that?
That was disappointing.
Take off
Rapper 23's mask.
(Remove the losing rapper, Rapper 23's mask.)
(MASON HOME)
(MASON HOME)
- Who's that? - MASON HOME.
- He belongs to a hip-hop team. - I don't know him.
Everyone from OKASHII is here.
The whole crew is here.
(OKASHII is currently the most popular hip-hop crew)
(for their trendy tracks.)
I was surprised that OKASHII came.
They're really hot right now.
He wasn't so good.
I didn't know who he was
even after taking off his mask.
So I thought I picked the right opponent.
The winning rapper, 27. Take off your mask.
Shy.
(ShyboiiTobii)
Hey, shy, ShyboiiTobii.
He was ShyboiiTobii.
Oh, shoot.
Hello, I won the Rookie Award in Korean Hip-hop Awards this year.
I'm ShyboiiTobii. It's nice to meet you.
(XWALLY, ShyboiiTobii, and Tray B were nominated for the award.)
(ShyboiiTobii beat the contenders and won the Rookie Award.)
(He's a crazy rookie. I look forward to his album.)
(He's really good. I can't say anything else.)
(This is real hip-hop. I've been waiting for a day like this.)
ShyboiiTobii is the leader of rappers these days.
I'm surprised to see that he tries new things that way.
He's kind of on another level.
He's really good.
Please stay in your position.
ShyboiiTobii lied that he wasn't participating.
He asked ShyboiiTobii, and he said he wasn't.
- Really? - Yes.
Honestly, I can't trust you.
What do you mean? Do you think I'd diss you?
Yes, I do.
I said I wouldn't.
Darn it. He doesn't get it at all.
The beef challenge starts soon.
The selected rapper is ShyboiiTobii.
- Is ShyboiiTobii crying? - Yes.
He's so young.
The lineup is so outstanding.
I know. Most of them are named rappers.
Let's go
Everybody kings and queens
But guess I'm going to have to step in the ring
The ring doesn't suit you
- Your song doesn't have any meaning - It's him.
I'll have to teach a thing or two
Everybody's on the same stuff
The boring flow and lyrics
You better cover your flows
You hide you're clumsy and stuff a fancy painting in the song paper
You pay attention to choreography only and lose the musical value
If the song only has a vibe not content, it's no use
You prick up yourself with clothes that don't fit
The fit matters more than what's inside
What's wrong with this world?
What's wrong with you? Me?
Rather than answering the question, show me my many mistakes
I know I'm not good enough, I make you feel tired
You're perfect and on the top tier
I don't need such greed
I only need a family
Well done.
He definitely has a good tone.
- Right. It's him. - That was great.
Anyone can tell.
The winning rapper, 32. Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper 32 takes off his mask.)
Owen.
Owen.
- Yes! - Owen.
I can recognize Owen only from his voice.
- He has an ID on his neck. - He's unrivaled.
Owen's rap was good, as expected.
(Rapper 46 goes on to the stage.)
DJ, beat drop.
- Look - Let's go.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show
He's different.
Sit back, relax, and look
It's him, right?
Might just be another problem here
Everyone shows cheezy acting that seems so familiar
There's an atelier with a different spark in Mangwon
It surely creates the best quality from South Korea
Everyone is bling or pretends to be bling
He's skillful.
Wipe off all the nonsense, bus comp
You're a rock star who needs the camera on
You're a fake DJ with the line not connected
He's darn good.
You're Jacks of all trades, You pretend to adopt
You're not good at rap, You're not good at singing
Although your looks bloom, it will soon fall like cherry blossoms
But I explode like Mount Vesuvius
Although I'm a bit slow, the structure is Fantastic Four
If you only think of collateral benefits, stop it now
Not many riches in the world and even less among creators
Darn it
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show
He's good.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the darn show
Darn.
- Gosh. - He's strong.
He's amazing.
Sexy rap.
He's darn good.
The winning rapper, 46. Take off your mask.
That's him.
Right, Khundi Panda.
- Panda. - Khundi Panda.
Of all the opponents, Khundai Panda. Darn it.
I say the best verse was from Khundi Panda.
It's legendary.
The show will hit the jackpot.
The production crew cast strong ones.
I can't believe all these rappers are here.
There were still so many rappers with a mask on.
Then how many good rappers are there?
I'm doomed.
We'll proceed with the next battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first,
please come up to the stage.
Let's go.
It's nice to meet you, losers.
(It's nice to meet you, losers.)
Goodness.
Oh, my.
Can I perform one more time?
Don't stop me. Darn it. I'm going to go on the stage.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper, please come up to the stage.
I guess you're feeling hot. I'll take off your mask.
Darn.
This is fun.
- Nice. - Darn.
I'm curious. I'll slay you.
Ready.
- It's going to be fun. - All right. Let's see.
Start.
DJ run that stuff up
It's messed up, brother, ride or die
You dig
This man does it for free, it's free
I dress up like Uijeongbu High, I'm darn trendy
I'm immature, I'm like a little kid
I'm the bomb, and I'm about to blow up
I'm a human landmine Call me D.I.L.F Dad I love to
Darn it, Set a yacht afloat on the Soyang Dam, homie
I ain't playing no games with you, I don't recommend making friends
Our relationship is cold and brutal I'm highly enriched uranium
My hobby is launching nuclear missiles, I'm from Baekdu bloodline
Drop the bomb in this world
I'm going to beat everyone in Seoul and Pyeongyang
I'm going to empty the folders in your computers
If we fail, it's treason, if we succeed, it's revolution
I'm an older brother since I was young
I'm a king, I'm the boss, Lee Kyoung Young
A lot of zeros in my account, I mark a dot under my eye like BIBI
My chestnut jelly, Make fake gang, Kill them all
One, two, all right
One, two, all right
Darn it. This is insane.
His rap has so many punchlines.
It's full of wits.
I'll start right away.
(I'll start right away.)
The beat sounds nice.
I represent my city, My hometown is on the beat
I police the punks that ruin the ecosystem
Press F at the moment you're caught
I find your location right away
I'm already waiting with my aim fixed
I know the flow of your movement
I'm calm like a captain, This is my passive
Although I fight alone the cost of life is high like AP
Who is she? She's good.
Better let up on me
I have accustomed moves The counterattack changes the angle
I stick to not riding although they treat me as a rebel
Even if you push your way
- You're just a loser to me - She's good.
So even if you intervene I will step on it
You might know my ID but you can't trace my IP
I squeeze through a gap when there's no chance of living
You have no idea I turn the tables without a device, All Mighty
I turn the tables, All Mighty
She's good.
Thank you.
- This is fun. - I like it.
We will now begin the vote.
(The voting begins.)
I can't decide. They were both good.
- The vote begins. - They were both really good.
I can't decide.
It was a battle between two spears.
It depends on your taste, I guess.
I thought hard when I chose one.
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
It's a close match.
(The vote is now closed.)
I guess it's half and half.
A tie? Is it our first tie?
The vote result was neck and neck this time.
(The vote result was neck and neck this time.)
I guess it's half and half. He said it was neck and neck.
- Is it a draw? - Who won?
(Starter 30 votes, opposer 28 votes)
(The starter rapper, 41 wins.)
I think it's a 1 or 2 vote difference.
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 18's mask.
Who's the female rapper? Is it someone I don't know?
Let's see who she is.
(Luci Gang)
It's Luci Gang.
- Luci Gang. - Luci Gang!
- It's someone you like. - Gang.
- Luci Gang's good. - You're right. She's good.
Hi.
Everyone in the underground knows me.
It's me, Luci Gang.
Luci Gang is amazing. Even her live singing is good.
She's an artist with a strong personal color.
Darn it. I should've done better.
Rapper 41. Take off your mask.
- Do you know him? - The winning rapper,
- Do you know 41? - forty-one.
(Chaboom)
- I'm his fan. - Chaboom!
My goodness.
(Chaboom)
- Let's go! - Chaboom!
It's Chaboom.
Darn, what the heck?
(The center of attention)
(for Korean-style gangster rap, Rapper Chaboom)
I had no idea he was Chaboom.
Chaboom is a participant I didn't expect to see.
It left a big impression.
Isn't it exciting to be able to
attack someone right away
with what I've got?
(Mostly all of the rappers' identities have been revealed.)
Are there four left?
Or five?
We'll proceed with the next battle.
(Rapper 53 wants to rap first.)
Wait. That tattoo looks familiar.
Anyone can come up to battle.
Let's wrap it up well and take the mask off quickly.
She has a cool voice.
With that voice, she must be good.
Cool. I like fights.
Rapper 54 is a woman, but she's taller.
Don't say things like that.
Ready.
Start.
I'll start right away. Give me the beat.
Let's go.
I'm killing brown deer, I never drive, It was like cardio
It might not reach you, You know there's no negotiation here
Keep your eyes open or you'll get run over
And you'll wish for it
Being blinded by the flash of light means that's the light of ambition
Cheese with the evil, I will bloom dark
Who can resist? Apples with Adam and Eve
Borrow a 100,000 dollars, you're still a commoner
Borrow one million dollars, you're a criminal
Borrow ten million dollars, and what are you?
I dream again, The cause of my narcolepsy was this
And it messed up the place, I don't even need to analyze
Don't be considerate of me, That's better manners
Go back to when I was a student and tell myself,
"Like prince, that is an elephant"
Yes, everything is the same
Everyone is living with a mask on, I'm No Face
Hiding is comfortable like a fool
I bite and tear you apart first, It's already an apocalypse
Nothing can be done in this era of hatred
Who is the villain?
Swim down and bury them at the bottom of the deep sea
Leave them and swim up
There's no change in the future
His body identified who he was.
He's iconic.
- That was clean. - How peaceful.
He was the definition of clean.
Give me the beat.
I say
It's Lee Young Ji.
Isn't this a tanghulu-type beat?
Party is over
You've got no more customers, so go catch the flies
Rather than being caught in love I can't buy
I smoke a lot like I've got a hundred lungs
I've come, and all the jerks are in trouble
A debauchee who has never performed on an underground stage
How they act with the rookie spotlight makes me laugh
- I drive it into them - Nice.
I shoot a bullet into their tongue
It might be better breathing heated air
I suck in the familiar air
It's crazy, emitting smoke
It's crazy, emitting smoke
My fuel efficiency is great, always full of gas
- I'm stuffed - What?
With the artist's drinking table
A fairy glass is in my hand before I know it
My camouflage covers up popular music
Please fix yourself up
Your inside and outside are different from mine
The media field is stinking with rotting corpses
I've got latta, my artistic framework
Do you have money ready? Shoulder the cost of my strong will
We won't put up with it
One hundred thousand dollars per capita isn't enough
The seller sets the price, but nobody wants me
The TV show that disgusted you yesterday
Becomes tasty when it becomes my business, come mucho
- Yes. - "Come mucho."
I'm going to that side.
That was the bomb.
She made some sexy music. I like that.
I like that too.
Who is she?
Do you know her?
Do you know her?
Gosh, I got captivated.
Someone rapping like her was new.
We will now begin the vote.
Rapper 53 had better techniques,
but Rapper 54 was more interesting.
She's good.
Low-key.
I was kind of fired up.
She made the sound sticky-icky.
(Starter loses with 19 votes. Opposer wins with 39 votes.)
(Opposer, Rapper 54, wins.)
Good.
She was bound to get more votes.
It's the difference in style.
I'm not saying Rapper 53 was bad.
Rapper 54 prepared something that grabbed
people's attention.
It was inevitable.
Rapper 54 was great.
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 53's mask.
(Hash Swan)
- Gosh. - Hash.
He still looks very young.
Hash Swan. Right.
It's him.
I love Hash Swan.
He's an artist I like.
I was happy to see him.
The winning rapper, 54. Take off your mask.
I'm curious. I want to know who she is.
Who is she?
Who is it?
(Hippie Kunda)
Hippie Kunda?
(Hippie Kunda)
- Hippie Kunda? - Hippie Kunda?
- Hippie Kunda? - Is it like Khundi Panda?
- Hippie Kunda. - Hippie Kunda.
Her name is similar to Khundi Panda.
- Do you know her? - What?
- Do you know her? - No.
Who is she?
I don't know. I've never seen her before.
Hi. I'm Hippie Kunda who is in charge of the rap and artwork
for Korea's mixed hip-hop duo 99' Nasty Kidz.
She's someone who knows how to rap instinctively.
It's my first time meeting Hippie Kunda.
She shocked me.
I bet she'll be good at music.
Hippie Kunda the dark horse.
She's a new face.
Totally. Nice.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
(After a long wait,)
(Rapper 19 takes the stage.)
Before accepting the challenge, please say a word.
He should've turned his thumb down,
even if it was obvious. Right?
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
I want to take off the mask and become comfortable.
Let's do this.
I get him.
We'll proceed with the battle.
Ready.
Start.
Let's go.
Bring the volume up.
I don't feel anything, I've been full of anger recently
Be more honest
Just say the only reason is for money
That jerk is a hypocrite and a liar
Get caught, and you're dead
I take my faith piece off my neck
And toss it away in hopes you'll listen to me
Not you, jerk, you're to rest in peace
Eat this even if you die
Rockstar life, I wear your pants down
My Amiri is from Beverly
Those who are bothered, remember this
- We have someone good. - I'll show you I'm speedy
There's no peace here, you stupid
To realize just now that I'm crazy
It's no cartoon or Disney
It's plain obvious you are all geeking
I did it for the team and my twin
I learned the K-town Street late
Not for the meme, no need for scheming
Keep it 100, you know what I mean
I wear several rings and miss none
Just leave, there is no goodbye or kissing
Working more and more with no weekend
That was clean and amazing.
- It was tight. - Yes.
- That was intense. - It was no joke.
Give me the beat.
Take a sip drip bish, Yes, I'm on the way
I don't need it, shut it up Who dare judge me?
Even your mother wants to see me
Light a cigarette and drink another glass
Yes, I'm back, I went astray, but wait
I need an oxygen tank, I'll soon leave, I faded it
Get drunk, get lost, and Jack Daniel's
It kills my brain, Take my card before paying
Every single one wants me to dance as they want
But I don't know, the evil being talks to me through the mirror
What are you talking about? My head is swimming
I can't hear you
The ceiling is spinning, the walls are tightening in
It's not bad
Take it all out
Stack on my dizzy head
There's spit on the ground, so dodge it on your own
I don't know, I'm faded it
Okay, get lost, move aside, and straighten up
Yes, I don't need any friends
Okay, get lost, move aside
Eat them all, stack on stack
What a shame.
Thank you.
The battle has ended.
Please stand behind the rapper who has done better
in your opinion.
(The voting begins.)
Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, no. That's - What now?
- What's he going to do? - That's bad.
Isn't this the lowest ever?
Only one?
I think it's the biggest difference.
He must feel
Earlier, I realized
if my opponent has overwhelmingly many behind him,
- it's humiliating. - Right.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
He won.
(Starter 19 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper, Rapper 48's mask.
- Who is it? - I wonder who it is.
I have no idea.
Oh, my What?
No way.
- No way. - I can't believe it.
(The losing rapper, 48, takes off his mask.)
Oh, my What?
- It's PUNCHNELLO. - PUNCHNELLO is here too.
(PUNCHNELLO)
(With his flashy rap skills and overwhelming stage presence,)
(he became the winner of "Show Me the Money 8.")
(The skilled rapper PUNCHNELLO)
Oh, my. What?
What?
I can't believe this.
PUNCHNELLO got only one vote.
That makes no sense.
- This is shocking. - I know.
Honestly, it was shocking.
I believe PUNCHNELLO has
what it takes to get more votes.
He was a winner of a hip-hop survival show.
But it's merciless here.
No way.
The winning rapper, 19. Take off your mask.
(The winning rapper, 19, takes off his mask.)
It's him, right?
Probably.
(Loopy)
- Who is it? - Loopy.
(Loopy)
(With his unique tone and flow,)
(he stamped his presence on the domestic hip-hop scene.)
Even before the first line,
I knew it was Loopy.
He was clearly on another level.
- Who is it? - Loopy.
Loopy won.
Loopy is here too.
But Owen and Loopy
I didn't expect to see Loopy here today.
I haven't met Loopy for two years.
Owen and I
When I first began my career
as a rapper in Korea,
we began together.
(Loopy and Owen relied on each other in the same crew.)
(I hope you listen to our music more.)
(Everyone's music in my agency.)
After a series of events,
he said it was time
to create his own world.
(Owen decided to be independent)
(after spending a long time with Loopy.)
After that moment,
I stopped keeping in touch with anyone in the crew.
I focused on my own fight.
(So the two took different paths after drifting apart.)
(2 years later, today)
(Loopy and Owen recognized each other)
(solely based on their voices.)
Let's see. I want to sit down.
Good job.
It was Loopy.
I didn't know.
I didn't know either.
- No? - No.
It was orange.
The color was orange when we had a hug.
It was orange.
(It was orange.)
As we continue the missions,
if we make any musical exchanges,
I'll be glad.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I get it.
- Isn't this the last battle? - The real last battle.
I wonder how they survived until the end.
- It must be really tough. - For real.
The last battle.
Anyone who wants to rap first, please come up to the stage.
Go.
He's the main character.
I respect hip-hop culture,
and I love hip-hop so much.
I respect hip-hop artists.
Yes!
I recognize that voice.
- Who is it? - What?
- Who is it? - I'm not telling you.
Masta Wu?
No? Okay.
Anyone who wants to challenge this rapper,
please come up to the stage.
I wonder who it is.
He came up last.
He waited and waited.
Who came up last?
Say a word to the starter.
What?
- A dog? - It's a puppy.
- A dog? - It's a puppy.
- Big dog. - It's a puppy.
What's going on?
- How did he wait until the end? - I know.
What was that about? To bark like that
He remained to the end like he was in the lead
just to bark?
The battle will begin now.
Ready.
I hope he does well.
- Start. - DJ, you know what to do.
Hey. Let's go!
Hip-hop hooray hoo
- Ray hoo - Ray hoo
- Hip-hop hooray hoo - Who is it?
- Ray - I see.
Gosh.
I'd never given up, I don't do that
I move on and get back on my feet
- The voice sounds familiar. - I've thought about it
- I love his rap. - Two or three times
But I never said it before
I take it as karma and take it to the end
I really do this for do or die
I don't have the answer so ask someone else
I force myself because I don't want to lose this
It's simple if you settle it because that's how I made it
Mayday
My voice celebrates my payday
Until tomorrow becomes today, I work hard for this, man
I'm being tested Every moment is an audition
I can't help but be myself
But where are you looking for me with a bitter smile?
Kkakdugi with a glass of soju, Life is not a big deal
Hip-hop, I'm loving it
Experienced showmanship.
- I think it's OG. - I know.
That was darn nice.
The dog?
- It's the dog. - Yes.
Who on earth is he?
He wants the beat on.
What if he keeps barking?
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild, bark like lunatics
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
Oh, what?
One, two, three
- What the heck is going to happen? - I think I know who it is.
We gone wild, bark like lunatics
For real?
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back, never give up
I do my dance, My pants are hanging on my butt
Hold the crotch and massage the leg
When she sees it, she says oh, my gosh
Then I approach her
Nice to meet you, Hi, honey
My mic is a long and big eggplant
It's thick like the bottom of a tree
I'm from Busan I'm so heated up, so don't stop me
I'm from Busan
- I'm so heated up, so don't stop me - Right?
I'm smoking like the king beggar, Need oxygen for spicy respirator
Gas, what I spit, Serious coughing in this
Mr. Lee coming straight from the street
Stamp on everything Me, Northfacegawd
Lob, we triple trouble
Take them to the corner
Steal everything I find in you
Welcome to my life, This is concrete jungle I live in
Yes I'm living in the wild, I'm a hungry wild animal
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
- We gone wild, bark like lunatics - So cool.
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild bark like lunatics
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
We gone wild
Four, five, six, we just go, push it
Don't look back never give up
That was crazy. Do you know him?
- You don't know him? - No.
Amazing.
Shoot.
That was darn crazy.
I can't believe he's here.
Why did the barking sound so cool at the end?
I know.
Did I call that man a dog?
- Yes. - Darn. I'm sorry.
The battle has ended.
That was the main stage. It was awesome.
That was insane.
To me, it wasn't a battle.
One, two, three, what the heck is going to happen?
I was in a concert hall as the member of an audience.
Like magic, I got sucked into it.
I felt like I was bewitched and returned to earth.
We will now begin the vote.
- I can't help it. - Please
stand behind the rapper who has done better
- in your opinion. - Go with the energy?
I have no choice.
- We will proceed with voting. - His performance was insane.
He was good too, but
I don't remember his performance.
Gosh, that was
- No luck with the battle? - Exactly.
Rapper 25 did a good job too.
The result of the vote will be revealed.
(Starter loses with 3 votes. Opposer wins with 55 votes.)
His performance deserved more than three votes.
(Opposer 35 wins.)
Take off the losing rapper,
Rapper 25's mask.
He did a good job too.
I think he's either the first generation rapper or a veteran.
I can never guess it.
Oh, my gosh.
Amazing.
That's crazy.
(Bizzy)
- Amazing. - That's crazy.
(Bizzy)
Hello. I'm Bizzy Bee.
A dreamer who never stops trying.
(17 years of experience)
(The leader of Korean hip-hop culture)
(The 1st generation rapper, Bizzy continues to try something new.)
So cool.
I could feel his love for hip-hop.
I grew up with his influence.
I began hip-hop after listening to his music.
I even have his album "Bizzionary" at home.
He appeared as a producer in another competition before.
(He appeared as a producer with Tiger JK.)
I was surprised.
The winning rapper, 35.
So darn cool.
He's darn tall.
He's the rapper of rappers.
Take off your mask.
This is awesome.
He's probably
a hero to my generation.
He's like a dragon.
This person is someone I'd never get to meet in person.
He's out of this world.
You don't see him on hip-hop shows.
Take off your mask.
This is unbelievable.
- Hey. - Yes.
