Will his English book be in bookstores as well? Or do we HAVE to order them online??

[Guest C0N5T4NC3]

working on a new album. new beats, new lyrics.

요즘, '초심'이라는 에너지가 온 몸에 기분 좋은 몸살 처럼 퍼지고 있는 듯. 잡념이 없어. 가사 한 단어 한 단어 적을 때 설레고 고맙고, 행복해. 무한한 공중제비를 도는 것 처럼.

I'm still learning, and I'm very happy.

mapthesoul.com

coming soon!

so basically, he says he has the energy of a beginner and he's feeling good and all his fatigue is going away. and when he's writing each lyrics, each word, he's thankful and happy. he feels like doing infinite somersaults.

and like stardaisy212 posted, today blo posted a cyworld entry titled coming soon and two links, the youtube video and http://www.mapthesoul.com/

YES. YES.

new songs.

[Guest gthao]

Any paperback is usually cheaper than a hard back.

[Guest stardaisy212]

i found the lyrics for the freestyle

카메라맨 : Spit a flow, man, spit a flow

플로우 좀 뱉어봐

Tablo : Want me to spit a drunken flow?

내가 드렁큰 플로우 뱉기를 원해?

카메라맨 : Drunken flow (MYK : Drunken~)

드렁큰 플로우 (드렁큰~)

Tablo : I'm not even JK 형 man, I can't do that drunk

난 JK 형이 아니야, 그런거 못해

카메라맨 : No, you can do it drunk

에이, 할 수 있어

Tablo : JK 형 is sick drunk

JK 형은 sick drunk야 (sick은 쥑인다는 뜻)

I'm just sit drunk, that's a punchline, but I, okay...

난 그냥 sit drunk (취해서 앉아있다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ) 방금 펀치라인이었는데... 오케이,

Yo, let me dumb it down for this diaper-wearing fake generation

요, 기저귀찬 가짜세대들을 위해 수준을 낮춰볼게

I'm like Kanye on an award show

난 마치 시상식에 온 칸예 같지

I got a hyperventil-'late registration' (Oh sh#t)

(Kanye West의 두번째 앨범 'late registration'과

'흥분해서 크게 숨을 들이쉬다'는 뜻의 'hyperventilate'를 합친 언어유희)

Pass out, get drunk and asesd out

기절해, 술취해서 꺼져

I'm like a handful of flyers I'm quick to pass out

난 전단지 한더미 같지, 아주 빨리 취해 (pass out = '죽다' '취해서 기절하다' '(전단지를)돌리다')

MYK : You pass out, but before you pass out, let's get our raps out

그래 너 취해, 그치만 취하기 전에, 우리 랩을 다 꺼내보자

Cos we're all stars that's why they call us smash-mouth

우린 모두 스타야, 그래서 사람들은 우릴 smash-mouth라고 부르지

(stars = 별, smash = 격파, 충돌, 여기다 mouth를 붙이면, 랩잘하는 사람을 가리킴

stars 랑 smash-mouth 랑 무슨 관련이 있는지는 모르겠네요...)

Yo, when I'm rippin' these cats, I'm takin' the trash out,

(이거 맞는지 모르겠다; 요, 내가 '고양이들을 찢을때(이거 숙어인가요?;, 난 쓰레기를 가져다 버리지.

like I was the garbageman.

마치 내가 쓰레기 청소부인 것처럼.

Their flows can't harm me, they're just garbage man

니들 플로우는 날 다치게 할 수 없어, 니들껀 그냥 쓰레기야.

Tablo : Garbage what? What rhymes with garbage? Garbage...

쓰레기 what? 쓰레기랑 라임 되는게 뭐있지? 쓰레기...

It's like... Carnage.

음 이건... 대학살이야.

I'm killin' the mic and I'm poppin' ear blockage.

난 마이크를 죽이고 막힌 귀를 뚫어주지.

I've been doing this since college.

대학 시절 때부터 그래왔어.

I got an ases for brains so even when I take a sh#t, I'm droppin' knowledge.

난 뇌가 뛰어나, 똥을 쌀때도, 지식을 흘리지. (이거 대박)

MYK : And I'm ready to demolish

난 조질 준비가 됐어

Everybody that wants to step to me

나에게 시비 거는 모든 인간들

They're not as fresh as me

걔들은 나만큼 신선하지 않아

These freestyles to me is so easy, it's like takin' breathes to me.

프리스타일 랩은 나에게 너무 쉽지, 내겐 그저 숨쉬는 것과 같아.

Tablo : Takin' breathes to me, it's like destiny.

숨을 쉬는 것, 그건 내게 운명이야.

Death of hiphop will be the death of me.

힙합의 죽음은 곧 나의 죽음이야.

That's right, when I'm on the mic, I like to rhyme tight

그래 맞아, 내가 마이크를 잡을 때, 난 타이트하게 라임을 뱉고,

and I'm always in the motherfcuking spotlight.

항상 motherfcuking 스팟라이트를 받지.

MYK : Spotlight, or better yet, the limelight

스팟라이트, 아니 더 나은 거, 라임라이트 (스팟라이트랑 비슷한 단어임)

That's where we rhyme tight, and we shine bright.

거기서 우린 타이트하게 라임을 뱉고, 환하게 빛나지.

Yo, I'm spittin' with insight, grippin' my mic tight

요, 난 통찰력 있게 랩을 해, 마이크를 세게 잡지.

Grippin' it so tight, I'm ready to take flight.

너무 세게 잡아서, 날아갈 준비가 되있어.

Tablo : Take flight! Take flight like a bird

날아가! 새처럼 날아가

I'm all up inside your head like a motherfcukin' bird,

난 빌어먹을 새들처럼 니들 머리 속에 꽉 차있지.

and I drop a turd, flyest sh#t that you've ever heard.

그리고 난 똥을 흘려 (그냥 똥을 흘리는게 아니라 이전 구절에 '새'가 나온걸 이용한 것)

니가 들은 얘기 중 제일 죽이는 거지 (fly = 멋있는, 간지나는 / (새가)날다, 이것도 언어유희)

MYK : And whether or not it's absurd, yo my mind is fast like a blur

그리고 말이 되든 안되든 간에, 내 마인드는 마치 흐린 얼룩처럼 빨라.

I wet the richard simmons and you drink, and with my d#ck I give it a stir.

내가 소변을 갈기고 넌 그걸 마시지, 그리고 난 내 거기로 잔을 살짝 저어줘

(이거 번역해서 똥같이 됐는데 진짜 영어로 들을때 짱이라는 ㅋ)

Smoke these words like herbs for sure, yes sir

대마초 피우듯 이 단어들을 확실히 피워, 예썰

Tablo : Yes sir or yezzir, like I'm star-trekking,

예썰, 아니면 예절(yezzir), 난 별들을 쫓아가.

(yezzir은 Star-trek에 소속되어있는 Pharrell이 yessir 대신 노래에서 자주 쓰는 말)

All these motherfcukin' MC's better go home, better start packin'

이 좆같은 엠씨들 다 집에 가는게 좋을걸, 짐싸는게 좋을걸

I'm presidential when I flow, yo it ain't hard to tell,

내 플로우는 대통령 같애, 결코 말하기 힘들지 않지.

I 'BA-ROCK' the show, 'O BA MA'self.

난 쇼를 이끌지, 나 혼자서 말이야.

(이게 마지막이자 제일 최고의 펀치라인인 것 같네요,

일단 미국 대통령인 BARACK OBAMA의 이름을 이용해서,

rock the show = 쇼를 미치게 만든다, 쇼를 주도하다,

이 rock 앞에다 ba를 붙인거죠... 그래서 말하면 BARACK처럼 들리게...

뒤에 obama self가 더 대박인게... 첨엔 저도 무슨 말인지 몰랐는데,

'All by myself (혼자서)'라는 문구를 'OBAMA'로 대신한 거였네요.

좀 짱인 펀치라인인듯 ㅋ)

*i edit the cursing*

lol i love the barack obama line

Awesome!!

The Barack Obama line was genius.

The translator's notes were quite funny...

The freestyle rap is cool but reading the Korean translation, I can imagine how awkward it is to translate and it could get lost in translation....

[Guest JANG.]

man. that drunken freestyle was sick.

map the soul is sure to be another amazing album.

i'm so relieved that all that talk about it wasn't just a rumor.

his recent cyworld entry has me anticipating it even more now, if that's even possible.

only about another month left of waiting, right?

finally, some worthwhile music to look forward to. ♫

[Guest creaturedreams]

Tablo & Kang Hyejung are dating

“Kang Hye Jung and Tablo met during a gathering last year and only recently confirmed that they were dating. Both of them have similar tastes in terms of music, movies, etc and thus they already left a good impression on each other after their first meeting. After a few successful dates, they are now in a stable relationship.”

Compared with other celebrity couples who usually keep their love stories from the public eye, Kang Hye Jung is going the opposite direction by confirming her relationship with Tablo. Many fans have given the lovebirds their blessings. There were already rumors earlier of them in a relationship after eagle-eyed fans spotted the both of them dating around coffee joints in Kangnam.

YG Entertainment to which Kang Hye Jung is contracted under told reporters today that Kang Hye Jung did not want to conceal it at all and had admitted to their relationship. One representative expressed, “They are now dating blissfully and they would like to thank everyone for their concern.”

[Guest imomo]

woah(:

Finally, the man's found a girl! It's time he left his loneliness<3 (:

Now when he's depressed he'll have someone to go through with! -giggle-

But I still feel a little emptiness ~__~

[Guest tinenapay]

i'm happy for Tablo that he's found that special person. of course, just like imomo, i feel a bit empty too. but as long as Tablo's happy, everything's fine. keep the good music coming man!

[CCaoKJ]

OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! so luckkyyyy

*uberr jealous* I gave up big bang for epik high!! [lmaoo]

[Guest ..kaleena..]

awwwwwwwwwwww, Mr. Blo has a girlfriend <3333

Who is she? an actress? and she's under YG?? wowowow, interesting

Question!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who preordered the book on Hanbooks, how much was the total cost? plus shipping and everything??

[ohchells]

I bought it with two other friends so it was $20 for each of us with shipping and tax.

The freestyle rap was interesting to listen to. Pretty funny as well.

[Guest tinenapay]

Question!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who preordered the book on Hanbooks, how much was the total cost? plus shipping and everything??

it's $34.04 for me -shipping included. i pre-ordered from hanbooks. oh yeah, i'm from the Philippines. i guess shipping rates varies depending on countries.

[Guest JANG.]

haha, blo confirmed the relationship on his cyworld with an entry titled "yes."

all the best to him.

Question!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who preordered the book on Hanbooks, how much was the total cost? plus shipping and everything??

mine was about $22, with the shipping being about $6. but i got an email from them saying that shipping costs may not be final because the book is still

"on hold" (hasn't been shipped yet), and my order is still being processed. but yeah, it ultimately depends on where you live.

[Guest ..kaleena..]

wowwww thanks for the fast replies!!

So the more copies we buy, the cheaper the shipping??

So i googled tablo's gf, and i found this pic
