SM Entertainment
Lil Pump, Smokepurpp, the late XXX Tentacion, and the whole gang. It’s 2019 and you’ve most likely either heard of them or their music at some point in your life. Screaming repetitive yet somehow strangely catchy hooks while mumbling jibberish throughout the verses of the song seem to be the hottest trend these days in hip-hop music.
And, of course, we can’t leave out the visuals. Cornrows and dreads dyed in wild colors that look as if they haven’t been washed in weeks.
Here are a few guesses of how SM idols might look if they went for a SoundCloud rapper career.
He looks a little too clean to be a SoundCloud rapper. His flawless white skin and perfectly trimmed brows, it’s impossible not to fall instantly in love with NCT’s WinWin.
Kai actually looks like he’d be able to spit out some lines impromptu. He definitely pulled off the look really well and could pass for an Asian SoundCloud rapper sensation.
Although the photo is a bit outdated, it doesn’t look too far off from some of the wild rapper hairstyles we are able to see today. In fact, he was pulling a Lil Pump even before Lil Pump.

Hello,
the reason why I stated what I said was because there is better things to write about. You know. Reviews on new music coming out. More quizzes. Update the tournament. Update the Birthday and Idol profiles. Anything. The title really just rubbed me the wrong way. There are so many new groups debut soon that you could talk about. Even Amber Liu is going on Tour next year. Things like that.
Its mostly because people always steal and historically stole from blacks and then abused or look down on us and our culture while mimicking it…then they copy the black style and praise themselves or get praise and money from it while hating blacks…like Miley and twerking…it was trashy and ratchet until whites did it…now its ”trendy”. Personally dreads and braids don’t suit straight hair because its too thin and I couldn’t care less…
Seeing as I’m not black I’m not going to claim to know the full history and hurt behind this hairstyle but this is something called cultural appropriation, in which people from one culture take it from a different one. This is a very controversial act especially when it’s a minority as black people are. Cornrows, dreadlocks and other various originally black hairstyles have a deep history for their culture, and using them as a hairstyle because you thinks its “trendy” or “cool” is offensive as you’re disregarding and disrespecting the pain and meaning behind them. Anyone who knows more about… Read more »
What the hell is this! Are you guys serious? You could have written something different than this?
Who wrote this trash?

This entire post is racist you know that right? Very uncool the way it refers to Black people’s hair and culture, also showcasing cultural appropriation in Kpop that should be criticized instead of joked about. This is a whole yikes.
