The Introduction of Epik High - Lesson 1!
Welcome to the 1st thread of Epik High! Who are they:About Epik High Epik High is a hip hop group from South Korea, composed of three members - Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz. All three members of Epik High can sing, write lyrics, and compose and arrange music. Their music has been known to be a "lyrical piece of literature" and "urban poetry", lyric orientated, soulful and often witty while addressing serious social issues such as identity, discrimination, community, unity and change as a whole. Epik High is known for the hit songs "Fly", "평화의 날" (Day of Peace), "I Remember", "Paris" and most recently "Fan". Members Info: Tablo has a Masters Degree from Stanford University (California, USA) where he majored in English Literature and Creative Writing. When he was 17 years old he wrote the song Rainy Christmas with the famous Korean singer 김건모 (Kim Gun Mo). While attending Stanford University, Tablo was part of an underground hip hop group known as 4n Objects, which caught the attention of CB Mass and Drunken Tiger, leading to them eventually offer to support Tablo in releasing a solo album in Korea. Currently, Tablo is gaining immense popularity working as part of the newest Samsung Anycall project Anyband and performs "Talk, Play, Love" and "Promise You" (the two hit numbers of the album that the cellphone campaign released with the explosive popularity of the music video) with Kpop/Jpop stars BoA and Xiah Junsu of DBSK, as well as renowned Korean jazz pianist Jin Bora. "Talk, Play, Love" is said to have been written by him. DJ Tukutz is Epik High's DJ, "the boy with the magic fingers". He started DJing in 1995, and has attended the Technics DJ School in South Korea. He has DJed in not only Korea, but also in Japan at raves, and in America on radio shows, live events and clubs around Boston and NYC. Mithra Jin had been featured on over 11 major albums in Korea even before Epik High's debut. Mithra Jin and Tablo met through the Movement Crew (a collaboration of hip hop artists who are determined to promote social and political awareness through hip hop culture and music), during a freestyle contest in Seoul. Mithra Jin was pursuing a solo career of his own, but with his artistic vision and style matching so well with Tablo's, the two decided to join together. Discography + Download: Spoiler:

All credits to the mods @ Epik Flow My opinion about EH: 'Sup everyone?! Okay, I had to make a thread bout them. They are hott and they need some AHS luv. I got into EH around the summer of last year. I luv the way they flow and music composure. Everytime I hear one of their songs, I get a nice and cool feeling from the songs. Although they use profanity most of time in their songs, their songs are still catchy, fun, poppy, and etc. I highly recommand that you give them a try. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Most of you who are familiar with Anyband should know that Tablo was apart of the popular band along with BoA. Please check out their PVs to get a feel of their music. Thankies for ur time and support. :yes |
YOU DID MAKE THE THREAD! YAY!
I love Tablo. He's so hot! Plus he has a hawt song with my other Korean husband, Bi. So, where should I start with them? I kinda liked their song with Emi Hinouchi, but if I remember correctly, there were LOADS of naughty words. :laugh |
i like tablo because of anyband, but i never listened to epik high. maybe i will now. :yes
|
You totally should Lisa! Thats how I got into them. :yes They're awesome. I haven't gotten the chance to listen to their new album yet, but I loved Remapping the Human Soul.
|
^i effing luv you! lol That's my fave album too. All the songs on there are just hott. Day of Peace is my happy song. :laugh Follow the flow is my "I am pissed" song. Gosh, I just have so many favorites. *blushes*
Quote:
Hmmm.....try Remapping The Human Soul. That has Emi Hinouchi on it. Plus, it contains many of my fave songs of EH. (Love Love Love, Fan, Fly, Follow the Flow) @Beauty: Since your a pop/little-R&B chic, I suggest u try their song, Fan out first and then Day of Peace and then Fly. :yes |
I can't choose my favorite from that album. :laugh Too many good ones. Though the current EH song I'm addicted to is Music is My Life.
|
^Eeee.....another one of my favorite songs. :cry K Will's voice sounded so good in this song and Tablo....I luv that guy so much. His flow was so sweet!<~I'm too much of a EH fangirl! :laugh Have you heard their new album? I've only heard 3 songs off it. I told myself that I'll buy the album before I listen to it.<~ Listen to Fallin Flower - I so much luv for that song!!!!
|
I'm not even really into hip-hop, but Epik High is hot! The 5th album is amazing.
|
^I find it funny that most Epik High fans say that Remapping the Human Soul si their favorite album (including me). Black Swan Song is another favorite of mine. The remixes are hott! :yes I just that they released a DVD with it as well. The albums would a perfect package deal. :P
|
I haven't had the chance to listen to Pieces yet. =( Trying to hold out till the end of the week when I get better headphones. Though I've heard mostly positive things about it so I'm excited!
|
^I've only heard One, Falling Flower, One (Remix) and all three are just.....angelic (I can't find a better word to describe them!). I luv the video to One...although Jisae (I think that's her name) spitting up in toilet made my stomach queeze. XD I wouldn't listen to the album until I buy it which won't belong. I kinda have a love/hate thing for the cover though. :dead2
|
Remapping the Human Soul = :heart
It's a very poignant title too, geez. |
^I know. Just reading makes the title even more poignant. :laugh Jeez, I'm so freakin' addicted to One.
Kaori or anyone, do u think you could convert the PV into ipod format? I haven't had any luck finding a mp4 version of it. :( |
^I can. But where can I download the PV?
|
^Youtube maybe? :shrug Gurl, u know I'm clueless on stuff like that. :laugh Fanny said that Pieces was up for dling at Jpopsuki. Maybe the One PV is up for grabs there. O_O
|
^Ya. It was at JPOPSUKI. I'm downloading it now so I can convert it. I hope my converter doesn't **** it up. Sometimes in the beginning, the video is kinda gray and filmy then after the first 5 or so seconds, it disappears. O.O;
That's what happened when I converted 4 Minutes and LIPS. |
:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao
Thankies for converting it. *Is screaming up and odwn inside* :laugh *listening to Flow* You know, I luv it when Tablo says "I'mma mutha-f'n crime! Everybody say f'k the president" I say it everytime I listen to it. My roommate laughs at me sometimes. lol |
HERE YOU GO SHANNESE AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS IT!
It's Epik High's "One" in mp4 format! http://www.mediafire.com/?c2mwxzon2th |
^:weep :weep :weep :weep :weep
Kaori...you have definitely made my day way better. I was so frickin' pissed off today...but u uploading and posting the video here....has put a smile on my face. The lyrics to One inspires me to have more faith in keeping my grades/gpa up in school (God, I feel like I'm doing terrible in 3 of my classes. :weep) Thankies Kaori! :shughug :shughug :shughug :shughug :shughug |
AW! NO PROBLEM!! :shughug :shughug :shughug
I hope you start better in school! |
^YAY! I"M STRESS FREE FROM SCHOOL AND NOW I HAVE EPIK HIGH'S DAY OF PEACE ON BLAST! :yatta
Ugh, I wish more people on here would try out there music. Come on! Come on! Come on! Please listen to there music and comment in here. Don't skip out on this thread. |
I'm a vey big Epik High Fan :D Currently, I'm waiting for the new album to arrive~ can't wait can't wait!!
I tried not to listen to the album and wait but I couldn't resist...and the album ist so wonderful!! *_* I couldn't believe that they could top their remapping the human soul album...but they did! aaah I love Tablo Mithra and DJ Tukutz!!! But the lyrics of "one" disappointed me a little... ._. |
^ I didn't read the lyrics of "One" but the beat is insanely catchy.
|
I thought the lyrics for One was interesting, it was sorta sad yet hopeful at the same time. I haven't listened to the 5th album yet, still waiting for the copy to come :P
I thought the MV was amazing, with Jung Ryeo Won's acting :P |
Finally got to listen to Pieces. I like it! Ya'll who can buy it are so lucky.
|
I love the track they did with EMI its called epik high
|
I just downloaded some of their stuff earlier today... reminds me a lot of m-flo, but in Korean. Very nice stuff :D
|
OH.MY.GOD! I just downloaded One: it's brilliant:heart I haven't been that much in love with a song for a looooong looooong time:heart You were right guys, this group is amazing:heart I so need to listen to the rest:weep
|
Quote:
@Triple D: Err...I feel so offened. Epik High is waaaay better then m-flo (although i luv them both) Are u buyin' Epik's album? :grumpy @Brodie Boy: Umm....don't you mean Flow? That's the only song I know they collaborated with her. |
^ I just heard Falling Flower and it's a great song:yes I'm also in love with Tangshinyeh Chogakdeul (feat. Ji Sun). And there's Fly and Love Love Love:heart I don't really like Flow though. It's too "hip-hopish" for me, if you know what I meanXD But seriously, Epik High is an amazing group:weep

Epik High's music quality is OUTSTANDING. I've never heard a Rap-group with such excellent music until I heard them. I luv th eway they fuse Hip-hop and pop together. They sound so perfect in any genre. Their remixes are very good as well. If you haven't, you must hear Love x3 remix. I luv that remix to death. :bchuck |
^ That's true, well from what I heard so far:P They just blend hip-hop with techno and pop really really really well. When I meant too hip-hopish, well yeah there's the bad words, but I also thought it was too repetitive. Oh and where can I get these remixes?
Must....listen....other....songs:dead |
yay!! there's an Epik High thread on AHS!! My pieces, part one cd arrived yesterday:D
|
^Please don't tell me that you got the Limited edition version of the album.....:weep There are like a 100 copies of it. One of the members on Epik Flow got the LE version though. I highly doubt that I'll get it when I order it. :cry Awwwwahh! :scry
@Crea: I requested the remix on Epik Flow. So when they post it, I'll post on here. ;) |
Quote:
|
^:shughug I wish Yesasia had sold the limited edition version. I think the limited edition had Tablo's, Mithra's, and Takutz's hand signature and a few extra tracks. I want their signature! :cry I wondering if they are going to release a repackage album of Pieces. I'm also wondering when they are going to release Pieces part 2.
|
They will, on their album there's a section where it saids in the future and it lists out their upcoming releases.
Epik High - Pieces, Part Two Epik High - Remixing the Human Soul Tablo - Blonote, Chapter One |
Are you kidding me.....?
*waits a minute* *SCREAMS LIKE AN OUT OF CONTROL FANGURL* :faint I can't believe! I totally can't believe it! :yatta OMG! I'm like so buy them all! I have to! There music is telling me to buy them. OMG! I'm so happy! Remixing the Human Soul is so gonna be hot. So is it going to be a remix of RTHS or a repackage version it? I need to know before I buy RTHS. ....AND OMG! Tablo's is gonna have a solo album. THIS. IS. TO. GOOD. TO. BE. TRUE! :thud The shiz is gonna be so hardcore. It's about time. Now Mithra and Takutz needs to do one. I wonder if they are working on all three at the same time. OMG! I'm just to freakin' blown away to think right. *is in shocked fangurl mode* |
Remixing THS? YES! Yay for a Tablo solo too, I got into EH cause of him. :D
|
Um...Yay? I still need to listen to Remapping the Human Soul because I only have a few songs:laugh Sounds really really really exciting though:D
|
^:yes Me too! lol I have like a few songs of theirs off that album. When I think about, I only have a few songs off each of their albums. I'm waiting to order it. So, I'm not gonna dl it.
@sakidrops: I first heard of Tablo off Rain's I'm Coming song (:heart) then after hearing Anyband and watching their concert, I fell in luv with Epik High's Fly and Fan. So I decided to Limewire their music and BAM, I was hit with more fanastic music from them when I was dling more of their songs off Lw including my fave song of theirs, Flow. I've been a fan of theirs every since then. :bchuck *became an EH fan in late 07* :D |
I'm particularly excited about the remix album. I really can't imagine how some songs will be like O.O I hope it comes out soon xD
At first I didn't like One because it was a bit more mainstream than their other songs, but it grew onto me. I thought that "Hope is a paper boat that sinks, isn't it sad?" from One was particularly interesting, no idea why but that line stood out to me the most for some reason out of the whole song. |
I have always been a fan of Epik High since they came out as one of the bands in the Movement. If anyone doesnt know, the Movement is a crew of Korean hip-hop artists, including Drunken Tiger, Dynamic Duo, Tasha, etc. They have great songs and the third album in particular is my favorite.
If you never herd it yet, listen to Let It Rain, i think its one of the best songs they've made |
^OMG! You luv that song too?! I agree that Let It Rain is one of their best songs. It has such a nastalgic feel to it -forgive my spelling! :dead2- I sing along to everytime I hear it. It's such a beautiful song. I also liked their rendition of Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" featuring SG Wannabe <~ A very good live.
As for the KHH movement, I've heard of Drunken Tiger and Dynamic Duo, but not Tasha. *is in the process of gettin' into more Korean artists* :bchuck @Chelly: When I first heard One, I thought it ws good but weird at the same time because it was a completely different sound from them then what I had been use to from them. lol Also, I though the lyrics was inspiring. I don't particularly read into their lyrics but I thought some of them were really good. :yes @Crea: I've still tryin' to get that remix to you. Just hold on a little longer! |
I have Remapping the human soul ^^ it's a pretty good album to be fair :D
|
^What's your favorite song on RTHS? :laugh
*is hoping for Fan to be your favorite* |
I love Fan so much, everything about that song is absolute love. People I know like Love Love Love more, but to me, Fan was definitely the best song on the album ^^
Epik High's songs are always inspiring and meaningful. I need to go buy their Remapping the Human Soul album XD |
Funny that I'm listening to Love Love Love now. :laugh I really can't choose between LLL and Fan...PV-wise, I'll have to go with LLL. I really didn't understand the concept of the Fan PV. If I'm not mistaken, didn't it have something to do when a girl being obsessed with a guy...so obsessed that she kidnapped him. Or am I wrong? Anyway, I also really liked Mr. Doctor and Broken Toys. Nice! :yes

theres other groups and rappers too. some of them don't have their own websites yet, so you can find their profile on http://www.drunkencamp.com |
Quote:
@ lfebaggins You got me all interested in The Movement now ... looks like I gotta go do some research xD |
i think i'm addicted to them after hearing One, the lyrics and PV was so WoW and the beat of the song is so addicting!
|
Here's a little gift for you guys:
Spoiler:
|
^OMG! Where did you get those from......:weep
*is in fangurl mode* I luv those pics. They look so hot. I'm luvin' Tablo's new hairstyle more and more. Mithra and TakutZ hairstlye are hot as well. Their new image fits them. I so have to make a set of those pics. I can't wait to get my copy of Pieces. :heart @Chelly: Oh, so that's what the whole rocket thing was about then? :laugh Okay, that's just crazy. lol I don't suppose that the ONE pv was about that girl giving up on life and decided to take her life but EH was her guidian angels and brought her back to life??? @lfebaggins: Oh, WOW! thank you! I have to hear Tasha. :laugh A Korean lady rappin huh?! I'm more use to guys rappina dn I'm not to fond of female rappers. |
Yeah, that's what I assumed it to be, to send off her lover off of Earth.
Well that's what I thought the One PV was trying to say, that the person that hurts you the most can be your hope to live everyday ? Something like that lol. So Jung Ryeo Won commits suicide 'cause of this guy and stuff, but Epik High act like angels and bring her back to life. -shrugs- Really random but from the look of it, I'll never be able to embrace Jpop as much as I do with Kpop XD |
Ahh another favorite of mine besides Let It Rain and Paris from the Third Album is 이별, 만남... 그 중점에서
Gahh this thread is making me re-listen to their albums |
Ok I'm desperate. I tried to find Let It Rain (song only) but I can't find it except for PV rips:weep Can anyone upload for me pretty pleeeease:weep?
|
OMG! Their thread hasnt been updated sincce June. :weep where are the EH fans on here? :cry
Well, I just heard the whole LOVESCREAM album and it's the best damn album of the year. It's just awesome. :heart I seriously recommend to everyone. Butterfly Effect = :luv2 Fallin' is my EH addiction right now. lol It's so damn catchy. Here's the 1 minute 1 Second pv from LOVESCREAM (It's luv too!!): If anyone needs LOVESCREAM just say so and I'll pm you the link. :) |
^ i have already listened to LOVESCREAM, and it is amazing, to me Epik High is the only K artists who create a listenable albums.
|
^OMG! You feel that way too. Yay! lol The album was hella good. Fallin' is stuck in my head. Dammit! I luff Epik High. I can't wait to they release Pieces pt. 2......it's gonna be epik srsly. Ugh, they should be try'n to make their way to Japan and leave Korea for a while. They deserve more sales than what Korea is giving them. :no
Here's the MCount performance for Fallin' and 1 minute 1 second: |
1 minute 1 second is freaking awesome

wow, i kept hitting next on the page numbers and found this >.<
where did everyone go??? XD ...ok, i'm not shy to post in a topic that hasn't been posted in for about a month now... i wanna be like a stupid freak and say that Epik High is the best korean band.. and when they collabo with JW, it's the best thing and same with Jisun, though she quit now... |
bump up
[e], Epilogue and Fever's End are truly amazing albums. |
I love Fever's End :heart
|
Bringing this thread back to life
..or at least trying to Fever's End is absolutely gorgeous, but I still have to say I prefer Epik High's stuff as a whole. It's just not the same without Mithra and Tukutz (even though Tukutz participated to the album) /: But as I said, I loved the album! I was a bit worried Tablo would do something totally different with YG but I'm glad he kept his own style and it worked out well. Home, Source and From The Bottom are my favorite tracks, but the whole album is great tbh. Mithra is getting released from the army soon! I'm hoping for a solo album |
I'm soooooooooo anticipating for Mithra's comeback from the army!
|
^ I know right! :heart We don't have to wait that long anymore!
On a sadder note.. Have you guys heard the new about Tablo's father's death? His funeral was a held a few days ago. :( May he rest in peace. I just feel terrible for Tablo, he's been going through so much during the past years and now he has to lose his father.. I wish all the best to him, luckily he's receiving lots of support and love from people. |
