G-Dragon and Taeyang are doing the music thing together as a duo and their latest song and video is pretty much what you would expect from them. Derivative hip-hop drivel using sounds that producer Teddy has run through both G-Dragon and 2NE1's material numerous times, and a video which features both guys looking like hot messes amongst bright lights and UV, with Taeyang once again going to lengths to negate sex appeal with yet another horrid looking hair style.
G-Dragon's music feels like an excuse for him to shoot music videos, so he can show off his crazy fashion style and nothing more. His music has never been that great to me and his fashion sense and zany visuals for his songs always supersedes it. His music videos give his songs life, but I've never felt his music has been good enough to exist and stand on its own.
The music video was directed by US director Colin Tilley, whose most notable work is Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda". Which goes to show the continual cross over which continues to happen between K-Pop and the US, although we've yet to see this materialise into something big and mainstream outside of PSY's "Gangnam style" which is still featuring in commercials and TV spots in the West. That song won't ever die.
