[MV Review] BLACKPINK - "Playing With Fire"



The second song to be released from their new set, and their best song overall. One of the best of the year to be honest.


Remember the theory that if Teddy and Han Ye Seul broke up then YG songs would get better? Well a few days before this was released they announced to have officially broken up, so either this had been going on for some time or Teddy wrote and produced this song overnight because this song is really fucking good.


Again, I love everything about Lisa's presence in the MV.



This is the upbeat electro-pop song 2NE1 should have released a long time ago. What makes "Playing With Fire" work is that it's not sloppy and trying to be something so hard that it adds in extra bells and whistles which in the end wind up making and worse song, not a better one. The song has one pleasant melody, good usage or rapping and instruments, a really nice pace (not to fast, not to slow) and makes use of a good beat without over-trapping it. The song stands out among other releases, not just with YG but also with releases over the entire year, and this coming from someone who hasn't been disappointed with 2016 releases in a general sense.


Jennie's ridiculously pretty.

Side note - people have been comparing Lisa's rapping to Hyuna's. I honestly don't hear it, if anything she sounds like AOAs Jimin (especially during the "burn baby burn" parts.)

While "Stay" was much more of the softer tumblr aesthetic type of video, "Playing With Fire" dives deeper into a classic ultra HD YG video, which works with this kind of song. It's the kind of imagery you'd expect, lots of fire and lots of water and lots of good shots of the member. Again the girls beauty is no joke here, they all look great. I especially like the fashion choices, and enjoyed the contrast between the sequined glamour outfits they wore in the dance shots in comparison to their more casual wear in the individual portions. 


Rose is one of the few idols that can pull that hair color off.


Overall this was great release and I hope Blackpink continues to get handed quality songs like this in the future.


Best styling on Jisoo yet!

The Story of a Man who got Fucked Over after Listening to Big Bang's "Sober"

This song fucking blows, if you really need my opinion on the song. What's new from Big Bang? In before that faggot Unknown complains about how no one here thinks this song is good and somehow brings J-pop into the conversation. Now let's get to the story. Andy was excited for tonight. Once a month, his wife would agree to take it anally. He would have to get pegged before his wife would take it in the ass, but Andy thought it was a small sacrifice to make. It was 5:00 PM, and Andy was finally off from work. He pulled out his phone and looked at his Twitter feed. While he didn't really listen to K-pop, he followed the groups his wife liked just so that he would at least understand a little bit of what she liked. He noticed that Big Bang released a new song titled "Sober".  "Hey, isn't this Big Bang group her favorite?" thought Andy. "She'll probably be happy knowing that her favorite group released a new song."  Andy pulled in the drive...
