The concept for G-Dragon's "Crayon" MV was to throw a bunch of weird shit together and pray

In my review of G-Dragon‘s “One Of A Kind” music video, I mentioned why I generally don’t like him, saying:

Now if you’re surprised by my rating of the music video, you should be, as I’m not a real big G-Dragon fan. Not because he’s in a boy band or anything else, but just because he seems to be buying into his own hype (dipping into his own stash, so to speak) and doing outrageous things just for the attention. Quite frankly, it’s annoying to witness, especially when his fans worship everything he does, no matter how stupid.

Never does all of that hit home harder than in his music video for “Crayon“.

Like it’s not even entertaining to me. Unlike his other music video, it’s not done with comedic effect, nor is it tongue-in-cheek, it just tries to put as much weird ridiculous shit in as possible. Then it basically hopes that people will think it’s edgy and cool, when the reality is that it’s just a mess.

I can’t wait until a fan tries to read into this and comes up with some deep meaning about how it teaches us about world politics and self-confidence or something.

Also, this guy is disturbingly creepy/ugly:

  1. Parallels a 2ne1 concept

  2. …why so serious?

  3. this was the worst among the three mv’s. the colors, the music, the images are so annoying.
    the best part was when the fans really believed that the woman in the black was g-dragon .
    “Netizens commented on G-Dragon in drag, “He’s prettier than real women,” “How come his body is perfect? It’s even more perfect than any other real women’s,” “.
    seriously..

    • VIP’s are ridiculous

      Really

      He doesn’t even have a good womanly body, nor a manly one

      COME AT MEHHH

      • @kaf:compared to him I’m a masculine guy, moreover i’m a woman with tits

        • @Kaf, @TheHungarianLoveOfMyLife

          To me, he still looks like a prepubescent kid. So, at this point, every woman, me included, will look more masculine than him…

      • LOL IKR!?

        It gets to me every single time when someone says GD is so hot and sexy, when I’m like “He’s short and has the body of a teenaged boy”

        I mean, he CAN have sex appeal but he aint’ no Bi Rain, that’s for sure.

        • i think it’s his charisma that makes him so attractive to people
          otherwise he’s not even average looking

        • @Amy: a friend of mine is only slightly higher than me ( i’m 160 cm/5’3), but he somehow masculine: calm, confident etc.
          this kid – lol

        • That’s what I was saying

        • @iamtired

          Yeah I thought that he was kinda homely, but everyone was like “HE SO HOT”

          I think maybe it is that whole “charisma” thing

        • @iamtired

          I think so too. His physique isn’t that great. Not by a long shot.

          @taro

          I think short people can exude masculinity when they have the confidence (like GD, Taeyang). I guess that’s why some of these VIPs want to jump him .__.

        • @Amy: it’s true. a lot of short males exude masculinity, but i like guys taller than me.
          if he was a hunchback of notre dame, the vips will be jumping him.

        • I had lots of shorter boyfriends (= shorter than my 5ft 8.5) and they were sexy as hell.
          Guess they needed to compensate their height by being awesome and incredibly fuckable. And they got it day and night, when I was hairy like a bear or shaved like a thanksgiving turkey, freshly showered or stinky like 12 drunk hungarians – yea, best experiences I made was with guys shorter than me.

        • @No_Min: in europe when a guy smaller than me, he is minor or a midget.
          when I did my teaching practice, the boys in the 8. grade (14 years old boys) were taller than me.

        • amyrose;

          I actually like it best when guys have lean/skinny bods like he does.
          If he face was good looking enough I’d probably think he was hot just like all his stans.

    • Even if it was really GD’s body, I don’t get why that would be something to brag about. I can understand why some girls like men that have more feminine features in face but why are fans bragging about GD having a womanly body? Since when is that ever attractive. But then again this is kpop after all, male idols get praised all the time when they can almost pass as a girl.

      • He could crap something that looks like a bunny with cancer and upload the pic of it on twitter and the stupid fanhoes would still brag about it.

  4. nice try but i’m not watching a GD music video

    better luck next time asshole

  5. He’s too old for this kind of video lol
    And the song is so AMAZINGLY bad, just… wtf

  6. Y’all is fucking crazy- I loved the song and the mv.

    SO. MUCH. FUN.

  7. I wish some dumb cunt try to read into this horse crap and explain how there’s deep and meaningful metaphors. No bitch.

    I’d still fuck him tho http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8r32fkDGZ1rcftipo1_400.gif

  9. mybiasbeatsyourbias

    Damn I knew VIPs will like this and disregard all sense of reasoning while watching this tripe garbage.Its funny because GD never looked so stupid and asinine.

    No doubt this boy does cocaine. They should use this an a seminar for drug-free campaigns vs the egg and pan.

  10. will never be able to take him seriously again due to the use of “swag check” multiple times in this song

    • Didn’t even fucking know that that’s what he said. The fuck.
      But since it’s not that understandable, I care less.

    • Sounds like Soulja Boy would say.

      Definitely isn’t a compliment either. :o

    • “OF COURSE GD BABY, YOU GOT SO MUCH SWAG! SWAGGIE 4 LYFE”

      Some times, I hate Tumblr.

  11. I’d still fuck him. /shrug

    • */Kanye shrug

      You’re welcome xD

    • Me too. But he won’t be allowed to take off the clothes that make him look like a 5 year old.

      • @No_Min: when you’re done with him and he is still alive, can I get him?

        • Since you are lovely, you can even have him before me!
          I can be nice too, sometimes. But gimme some pálinka so I have something to do while you’re at it.

        • @großzügige No_Min: i want skinned him.
          i want many small pieces cut out of his skin.
          it’s better if you’re the first :)
          (and what kind of pálinka do you like?)

        • Can you record it, so I can watch it later? In return for the tape, I’ll ship you some Żubrówka, so you can knock yourself out like ten polish highlanders on sunday morning. Pretty please?

        • @taro: The one with alcohol in it… so I’ll pretty much drink anything. I will leave GD in one piece, just for you, my fellow hungarian sex friend.

          Some russians even made me drink some glorious cocktail of… i don’t know what mixed with ethyl alcohol/spirit or whatever the fuck you call it. That day turned out to be one of my weirdest days ever – since then my liver just absorbs everything without giving a flying fuck.

          Tap, I would love it! For you I would even record everything for free.
          But while you’re at it, I also need some cheap cigarettes. Germany is going crazy with the prizes for a fucking pack.

        • @lady of my heart Tap: i’ll do anything for you. but you can come if you want
          http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7itoz3Lzf1qc4fiu.gif

        • @my sexy No_min: russians are used to get to everything, which is alcohol. aftershave, cologne etc.
          you were lucky if it was ethyl-alcohol :)

        • @No_Min
          What do you smoke? Malboros are still relatively cheap, even for our standards.

          @Taro
          I’ll be right there. For you, and for witnessing some hardcore skinning going on.

  12. I kind of feel like we’re getting a glimpse into one of GD’s lsd fueled orgy parties.

    • Must be as fun to watch this on LSD as watching the hypnotoad for 3 hours on a bad trip.

  13. fucking song is like a LMFAO track with soulja boy/lil wayne rapping…..

    • I’ve been waiting for someone to make the Lil Wayne/GD analogy ’cause the more GD makes music with these insane concepts, the more I see him as the Korean version of Weezy.

      And that’s not really a good thing :o

      • GD said that he’s inspired by Lil Wayne. He thinks Weezy is great. Lil Wayne starts skateboarding and then GD starts skateboarding. Wayne must be GD’s idol.

        • lol Makes sense to me now.

          Though I know Zico adores Weezy as well and was super excited when Carter IV came out…and yet he’s never outright imitated him.

          Oh lawd, the day Zico goes down that path I will have lost all faith in whatever rapping means in K-Pop. .___.

      • I do too, especially with the horrible yellow dreads. but the fans are like: “HE’S NOTHING LIKE SHITTY LIL’ WAYNE! HE’S UNIQUE.” Yeah, people say the same stuff about Weezy too. /smh

        • lol As far as I know, most hip hop fans take Weezy and the whole YCMCB crew (with the exception of Drake and Tyga to a certain extent) as a joke (e.g. read the comments on any Weezy article on WSHH)

          They’ll take one look at GD and never give him the light of day. I heard he said something like this:

          “If PSY’s music is fun and exciting, I want to emphasize how special Asian hip hop is through my music. My next album will include a lot of collaboration work with foreign artists.”

          I wanted to cry. Why anyone would choose him as this ambassador of Asian hip hop to America is beyond me. YG’s better off sending Epik High or anyone who wouldn’t be considered a laughingstock for “trying too hard.”

        • @AmyRose92 Most mainstream hip-hop is a joke these days. They all rap about the same stuff with a different beat. All the good hip-hop artists are underground or not popular because they rap with a real message instead of the same ol’ “I got swag and get all the bitches” lyrics.

      • OMG, everything you said.

  14. Seems like he wanted to go for the “wtf” factor like with Psy’s Gangnam Style, except he failed miserably at it. This is just trying way too hard – it’s not even funny.

    • If PSY’s music is fun and exciting, I want to emphasize how special Asian hip hop is through my music. My next album will include a lot of collaboration work with foreign artists.

      This fool

      • Yeah I read that interview and he also said, ” it’s still hard to believe all the foreign press coverage PSY’s been receiving with “Gangnam Style.” “Since we’re in the same agency, I’m very happy for him and I think it’s great that he’s doing such a good job. Big Bang and 2NE1 should also do a good job to follow suit,”
        When I read that I was like http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhf5yl5yqE1qes719.gif

  15. this video should of came with an epilepsy warning… those strobe scenes almost hurt me . I still think hes cute though.

  16. I want his fucking batman earrings at 0.15.

    I really can’t get into the chorus of this song.
    Oh and the stupid chant that starts at 3.00 makes me feel like I’m in a soccer stadium. Do not like.

    The rest I like. I’d bang him if he nicely asked me to – I guess I really am into the pretty looking ones. I now understand how old geezers with a lolita complex must feel.

    • Also I was wrong by predicting that your next review would be Poison because of the tits.
      Don’t be so fucking unpredictable, it hurts my innocent feelings.

    • I think you’d like me. My friends mom once told me I look like a pedofile’s dream- even though I’m at the perfectly legal age, I still look like I’m no more than twelve. Exept for the boobs.

  17. I used to like G-Dragon when I was obsessed with kpop a couple years back, but now…he makes me want to smack him upside the head with a brick! He looks so freakin’ arrogant and the rap made my head hurt! Whenever I looked at his old music videos, he didn’t seem so irritating! The only ones in Big Bang I can stand right now is TOP, Daesung, and short little Taeyang!

  18. @tap

    True facts

  19. My farts make better music than this shit.

  20. Why did he have to use swag, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
    The korean equivalent would have been 10x cooler.

  21. milkywhituskinned

    My attention went away after 1 minute in the video, he’s trying too hard and doing whatever gets attention. I don’t think I’m watching it again

  22. Yeah, “One of a Kind” was better than this. Actually I find GD’s “One of a Kind” album a hit or miss. “Heartbreaker”, I actually liked most of the songs. :o

  23. trying to be kyary pamyupamyu

  24. Woah I like GD’s body, it got so much better. Anyway for me the video is fine, it’s the song that………………..it just sucks this song.
    I hate the freaking word swag! and i agree with you @Cekay.

    @TrollAhoy I like ALL the songs in Heartbreaker. That album is so much better

  25. It’s a matter of taste really.
    I have this so to speak “artistic bone” and I often appreciate visuals other people find repulsive and vice versa.

    Crayon reminds me of childish drawings and scribbles and in that context the music video does have a sense – just like children take the crayon and draw whatever the fuck they want, GD just took a bunch of clothes, background and people and “drew” whatever crossed his mind.

    If he were to always make such MVs I would probably be the first to say “this is annoying beyond patience” but this is his second or third visually loaded “mess” and I do see a connection to the actual track.

    I’m not going to say it’s as worthy as fangirls make it seem like but I understand the thought behind such an MV.

  26. Well I thought he actually intended it to look like it was a bunch of weird shit thrown together.

    I think the first scene with all that “swag check” shit was a bit pretentious but after that he basically made fun of himself and didn’t take himself too seriously? I mean he “pretended” he was a woman…

    I agree that One of a Kind was wittier and more sarcastic but that doesn’t mean Crayon’s type of humor is terrible.

    I thought it was a fun MV/song, I’m not going to make it more than what it is because that’s ALL it is. I don’t think GD should be blamed for what his insane fans say though, Kpop fangirls are just a different breed.

  27. I’ll just copy-paste the last of what I wrote on Mcroth’s: The video is obnoxious and seizure inducing and it’s like a Teddy produced 2ne1 electro-pop dance song where the music itself is only good (or at least tolerable) when you add the pure insanity of the visuals (mv or stage).

    Even as a GD fangirl, I can’t co-sign the video at all. The song’s okay; nothing I’d listen to voluntarily, but the video: no… just… no.
