GD did the lyrics and arrangement, not the composing

^Yeah they need to just focus on the new album as opposed to all of this other crap.

The lyrics are the biggest issue I had with the song lol! But to be fair I'm so bored with gd's lyrics at this point that it's no longer a surprise to me when he raps about the same 2-3 topics.

Don't get me wrong, I love Big Bang but I truly prefer Top's rapping capability/style/flow. His story telling ability and delivery is so on point.

I think GD is an excellent producer/composer, however, and I think that that is where his true talent lies.

I choose to ignore the OOAK/Coup D'Etat era, however.

I just think that T.O.P. is the bigger risk taker and wants to ensure that the story is told correctly and also matches the flow of the song - ie: Doom Dada.

Plus after hearing GD's comments regarding working with Taeyang vs working with Top yesterday it has only cemented my position that Top is the better rapper/innovator. lol.

And before anyone starts I'm not even Top-biased, I'm GD-biased so I'm not just saying this to start shit or anything. I just know that my boy is more of a Drake or Kanye than a Jay-Z, Nas, or Eminem and that he missed the mark on this one and missed the mark on the past 2 years in general and needs to take a sec and get his creativity back.

Monster was the last greatest thing he produced, IMO, and I think he took several thousands steps backwards after that and is now totally lost on Big Bang's sound.

He even said in the most recent interview that Good Boy was intended for Big Bang's new album, which terrifies me.

^I see, thanks

other than that, regarding the new GDYB interviews. it was said, that the new BB album shall be released in 2015. as GD confessed, the biggest issue is the strain they feel on them after they produced Monster and Fantastic baby, big hits. he mentioned, that right not he has some problems with composing big hit song, and it makes him feel stressed. that is why BB still hasn't released anything as a whole. basically, he blutuntly said that he can't make hits anymore which makes me cringe hella lot.

Good Boy was first supposed to be for the whole BB, yet YG decided to make it for GDYB and I'm happy that YG actually knows what it's doing. this song would ruin BB.

regarding GD lyrics. maybe it's not good to say so, but seems like GD has a bit or not a bit...degenerated. in terms of lyrics and his creativity, he has become blown away with his swag and American stuff, but he can't get over this phase. it is a disaster for his Korean fans and BB, to be honest

[Not Fade Away]

^Hmmm to me it sounded like the issues that GD had with working on music with Top was the fact that Top challenged him at every corner so that they could produce high quality music and didn't like the direction GD was taking with some of the material.

Right after that comment he essentially said that Taeyang just goes along with whatever he wants to do so there's less of an argument.

Personally, I think GD needs someone to challenge him every now and again.

All I'm saying is Doom Dada killed all of OOAK/Coup D'Etat and Doom Dada was a single song release.

Maybe Top and Seungri should try producing songs for Big Bang's next album since those two seem to have the magic formula that made their songs slay all of their fellow group members' tracks in the past 2 years.

I completely agree with GD on that. He hasn't lived up to 'Monster' and 'Fantastic Baby' with any releases since. To be fair though, he was also not producing for Big Bang.....so I'll let some of that slide.

Again, I completely agree though, his lyrics feel recycled and his creativity also feels recycled.

I could easily do a mashup of 'Crayon, Michigo (sp?), Shake the World, and Good Boy' and I doubt if anyone would notice when one song transitioned into the next.

IDK. I guess we'll just wait and see when the new album comes out 3 years from now .

lol. But I'll give credit where credit is due....GD's "Window" was good. We need more songs like that.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I actually really like GOOD BOY but the song doesn't fit Big Bang as a whole group.

[NintendoHTF1242]

GD prefers Tae over T.O.P? Lmfao bye G-Dragon

[ayu_ready?]

but TOP has a very complicated, cold and reserved persona. and rememeber, that GD & YB has been best friends since forever. since their school and training days

[ayu_ready?]

Window's gold for me, I feel his lyrics in this one. GDYB shall perform at MAMA. Bobby and Winner shall also be there. we get no 2ne1 and BB tho, but there'll be much YG, I'm happy about it.

Good Boy ranked No.1 this week on Inki, even tho the guys didn't perform, as they're currently in Japan

I still believe TOP has a very complicated character. I still love him tho YB would be the one who'd agree on pretty much everything that GD does, so of course it's easier to work with him lol

[JEWELian]

Anyone going/gone to their dome tour? I'm seeing them tomorrow, the goods look GOOD.

As it was mentioned previously, the 'MADE SERIES' is split into 5 parts - 'M', 'A', 'D', 'E' - and each part will be revealed at the beginning of each month starting in May. After the 'E' portion's release in August, the boys will then drop their full length album 'MADE' in September.

Check out Big Bang's awesome first release above, keeping in mind that members Taeyang, T.O.P, and G-Dragon personally had a hand in the creation of the first two songs along with YG producer, Teddy!

[Earth_maiden]

The boys are coming to Australia in September, I'm planning on going! Looks like it will be a solo trip too haha.

[susiowong]

^ Australia seems like a random country to visit when it looks like they're mostly just touring Asia.

I did not know rice cakes were slang for sex. The more you know!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

bae bae's video is really colorful. I love Top's portion. :-]

[Maemi]

I love Bae Bae, even the lyrics

[AyuHamasaki01]

T.O.P. reminds me of Willy Wonka in Bae Bae xD
