RAP STAR

Chapter 90 [verse 14. Beat The Underground]

The audience, who had discovered something, erupted into another round of cheers, seemingly never getting tired.

"Wow!"

At some point, Woo Minho appeared with the MPC-4000, and he started pounding on the 16 pads like crazy. Beyond video directing and DJing, Woo Minho's involvement with the MPC added new momentum to the 888 Crew.

"It was tough trying to look cool in the front, right? Let's go crazy just once!"

With the supporting remarks from L&S and Woo Minho, Junhyung and Hayeon stepped forward as if possessed.

Lonely Road.
The performance, meaning a lonely path, had already been shown in the previous verses and chorus. However, there was still one fact they hadn't mentioned yet.
While they didn't have shoulders to walk side by side on the lonely road, they did have comrades walking with them.
We Eight that Eight that Eight that Crew!
To describe the comrades walking the lonely road together, Hayeon stepped forward first.

"Twenty-four hours a day, game starts at 10 a.m.,
Prepare to Insert Coin and go to the studio.
Rolling through the topics we chose last night,
When we hear the drum sound, we're both students and trainers."

Hayeon's lyrics always had a taste that seemed to be vividly depicted. Crew members who seemed to show up for work as if they had appointments every weekend at 10 a.m.
Their hair was still damp, not properly dried.
Their faces were slightly swollen.
But there was always a notebook in their left hand. To roll through the topics they had chosen together with the crew members the night before.
And when the beat started playing, all crew members were both students and trainers.

"Yeah! We're far from lazy,
People who aren't worth it don't care at all.
My eternal enemy is also the Man in the Crew,
The tense is Yesterday, the goal has Always been true."

With a feminine voice but a tough and refreshing tone no less than a male rapper's. Although she was a celestial girl, Hayeon appealed to a strangely androgynous charm when rapping.
That's why she received support from Korean hip-hop fans regardless of gender.
Lee Kyungmin, Show Business, Codename.
People who aren't worth it.
The 888 Crew's interest has always been the crew members in the mirror, and the goal has always been true. It was about bringing authenticity to the music.

"Yay!" "Yay!"

As soon as Hayeon's 8-bar rap ended, cheers from female audience members erupted. Female audience members began to support Hayeon more than Junhyung or Sanghyun.
Junhyung, as if it were his own, shouted, "Louder!" and continued Hayeon's 8-bar rap.

"I am my own part, I am complete as myself,
When I stand on stage, my roar comes from within me.
I don't care about other people's gazes,
I'm Ronaldo kicking the ball while being Buffon at the same time."

At first, Sanghyun was surprised when he heard these lyrics, thinking they were about Portugal's Ronaldo. Because in 2005, Ronaldo wasn't the best player yet.
But it turned out to be Brazil's Ronaldo.
Junhyung coolly expressed kicking and blocking the ball himself with the lyrics.

"888, we gather in the studio,
Making history in Korea's hip-hop School Zone.
888, straight down the Lonely Road,
Now it's your turn. You ready? I'm Done."

Junhyung finished his 8-bar rap and shouted "I'm Done" as he tossed the mic to Sanghyun. Sanghyun also threw the mic to Junhyung.
The two mics crossed, and Sanghyun started rapping as soon as he grabbed the mic. It was a prepared performance.

"Diving into the realm beyond common sense, attack.
Colleagues causing a stir have been by my side all along.
The remaining stubbornness grows stronger and stronger."
