I’m disappointed. A band I liked have unfortunately, lived up to their name: No Brain. Warning: this is a rant.

I feel let down and insulted because No Brain collaborated with a pop group. Actually, in ordinary circumstances I wouldn’t care (No Brain is after all a popular band themselves), but it’s much worse. No Brain collaborated with Big Bang (빅뱅)!…in “Oh My Friend” by the said tools.

Big Bang & No Brain pretending to be cool

It’s the epitome of fake, manufactured pop that pretends to be “hip-hop” and reveals the low depths the music industry (*cough YG) has sunken to in our hyper-consumerist culture.

I can’t stand Big Bang. But while I pride myself on ignoring the things which I loathe, when I see a group I (kind of) like, associating with the object of my enmity, I can’t look the other way. Rather I must observe, cringe, be insulted, and wash my foul mouth out with soap.

Big Bang is awful. And now, No Brain has joined the club. It’s unfortunate that they’ve chosen to go this way.

Sure I understand the whole “being ‘featured’ gets the featured artist publicity”, but how low have these bunch of “rockers” (probably) in their thirties gone to resort to courting the screaming pre-to-teenage girl vote? The ones who won’t respect you for your musical ability or talent and only fixate on the shallow traits on the surface of your existence.

Time go back through No Brain’s library, and question everything they’ve ever done.

I’m a pour some liqour on the curb for No Brain. It sucks for any band to lose fans, and No Brain has just lost me.

If you must, here’s a link to “Oh My Friend” by Big Bang featuring No Brain. (Remember, people actually think this is rap =P)
