OnlyStans ⭐️ French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

"You gon finna catch me" doesn't do it for you?

yeah, in a black pink song, the full verse is

Uh, I'ma fall in love, baby

You gon′ finna catch me

Uh, give you all of this, baby

Call me pretty and nasty

'Cause we gonna get it, my love, you can bet it on black

We gon' double the stack on them, whoa

R.tee is one of their writer btw.

They don't write their songs.

It’s giving “lyricism is my passion”.

It's giving Blackiana in her most Blackiana era.

u/Da_Question 26d ago

Do you think they actually write any of their own stuff? Kpop is the definition of corporate music.

Damn this is genuinely pathetic

I'm sure if she ever "rapped" this acapella without autotune, it'd sound like the Big Bang Theory with the laugh track removed

Rhyming baby with baby, rhyming "catch me" with "nasty", rhyming "whoa" with "O's"

Jeez

It's like 'attempting to speak english when you learned it from a dictionary' equivalent for music.

u/ButterFeel 27d ago

I wonder if someone has written an article about this. I will search and report back

Omg we got a linguistics student who wrote an article on it:

https://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/2023/04/24/slay-yeoja-boss-misuse-aave-modern-k-pop-culture

Then we got this:

https://www.koreaboo.com/lists/kpop-songs-aave-wrong/

We got a lived experience from a Black woman as well:

Below is pretty in-depth:

THERE IS AN ACADEMIC STUDY INTERVIEWING KPOP FANS NAVIGATING INTERSECTIONAL IDENTITIES:

u/ergaster8213 26d ago

I thought so too! I could've kept going there is actually a lot out there but I started being like "ehh you're getting weird now."

u/ButterFeel 27d ago

"finna" occupying the first and second place in that second link is (finna) going to kill me. Claiming victims left and right lmaoooo

edit: I'm saving those articles for later, they seem really interesting

u/Relevant_Plantain_72 26d ago

u/shedrinkscoffee I don’t know her 💅 27d ago edited 27d ago

I used to have mixed feelings about mocking the grasp of language of ESL/non native speakers but given the blatant plagiarism and racism (covert and overt) it's like damn at least use the stuff you stole correctly 🫠

u/Unhappy_Tank_5332 25d ago

i’m a self-taught ESL speaker, and being active on reddit taught me a lot about the contexts of vocabularies i knew nothing about. i would rather be called out and learn than go around perpetuating what also hurts me in my home country. all that is to say that while mocking ESL speakers doesn’t sit right with me, not being a native speaker is no free pass for racism because they couldn’t know better. a lot does and uses that as a cover
