Don't know why but I find it hilarious

[Guest agata9021]

Hello!!

I'm loving the preview they spinned at the club...but is it known when exactly will the song come out?  Will it come with a MV too?

I secretly wish it would

Anyways, I think so far...it sounds amazing...the girls sound so good! They did an awesome job!

[Guest dragon-rider]

@agata9021: We don't know when it will be released yet. That song is from Intel Project with WIll.I.Am, I don't know if it is included in 2NE1's US album or it is a separated song.

The song sounds nice but I kind of hope the album will consist of songs in various genres, not only party/club songs.

[Guest LittlePinky82]

Love the new Etude commercial. So cute. I guess at the end all the fan girls are chasing after her cause she got a kiss from Key? Lol aw. I'm looking forward to the next one! 

I like the new song. It sounds good from what was heard. Sounds like it could be one of those songs that you love to blast in your car.  If the song is for a separate project I wonder too about the song. Maybe it could be like "Don't Stop the Music" and was included on an album and they did that for something else.

Swizz Beatz hoping for 2NE1/ Rihanna or Nicki Minaj collab?

Swizz Beatz Explains Plans To Bring K-Pop To America

In the wake of his international deal, Swizz Beatz says that he hopes to migrate culture from Korea to America.

Swizz Beatz recently announced a partnership with ON-Media to bring K-pop to America, a move intended to “migrate cultures.” During an interview with The FADER, Swizzy explained that artists like Kanye West and will.i.am have collaborated with Korean pop artists, but that he wants to build a lane for them to break through in the U.S.

“I’m not trying to just do a feature. I’m really trying to migrate culture,” he explains. “I don’t have to produce everything, I don’t have to rap on everything. I want to set up tour and TV shows and just have a super creative outlet for people to express themselves. We need to start bridging those gaps, and thinking globally is the way to go.”

The rapper/producer said that in order to integrate K-pop into American music, he plans on pairing artists from both countries. His hope is to end up with Chris Brown on a song with Big Bang, or Nicki Minaj on a track with 2NE1.

“Bridging the gaps with collaborations can be the start of a global phenomenon. We’ve got this group called Big Bang, they dropped a song called 'Blue,' and I’m like, everybody should know about that,” he continued. “So how do you keep communication going? When you’re a big artist in the states, they roll out the red carpets for you, and I don’t feel that love for artists from other countries when they come here. I’m like, wait a minute, that’s not fair. Why can’t they get some respect? So my thing is to team up a Big Bang with a Chris Brown, somebody like that. Team up 2NE1 with Nicki Minaj or Rihanna. You take an international hit and make it even more international, even more familiar. Bridge that gap.”

Catch up with 2NE1’s latest exciting project: Intel’s Ultrabook Tour w/ Will.I.Am.

Intel’s newly launched "Ultrabook" campaign is being promoted in a unique and musical way. As part of the Ultrabook™ project tour, Will.i.am is armed with the new Intel Ultrabook™ and is making several stops around the world. From cities such as Tokyo, Las Vegas, Mexico City, to most recently Seoul, a tour aimed at allowing him to explore the sights and sounds of each city and then create a new song, inspired by that city.

Using Intel's new technology, successfully enables Will.i.am to be an innovator, creator and an artist. In Mexico he visited the Museo Soumaya and toured the city’s wonderful art as well as attending a wrestling match. In Tokyo, he collaborated with the fashionable Diva MademoiselleYulia. Yulia should be familiar to Blackjacks as she DJ'd for the 'YG Girls Meeting', she appeared on 2NE1TV Season 2, and more recently she had a photoshoot in J.ScottX2NE1 wings.

When it was announced that he would be making a stop in Seoul, South Korea, it was time for Blackjacks to be excited. Of course the artists he would be collaborating with was revealed to be 2NE1.

Will.i.ams’ short stay in Seoul proved eventful, as we had several updates proving his persistent dedication and interest in continuing his work with 2NE1. Will.i.am tweeted several exciting pictures of himself partying with CL, Dara and Bom (minus our maknae Minzy, who is too young to be partying, but I’m sure she was partying it out in her room!). The pictures turned out to be from “Club Rococo”, where 2NE1 enjoyed a fun atmosphere reconnecting with Will.i.am.

A few days later, at Will.i.am's special DJing event at Club Answer, Blackjacks were teased with a new song Will.i.am had composed with DJ Poet and 2NE1. If you haven’t caught it already, here is a clip below (make sure to pause at around 1.04, to catch some adorable Bommie.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-ve_Tu5-7M

Rumour has it that the song is part of the special project with Intel, although this has not been confirmed. Whatever the reason behind the new song; it reminded us again of how brilliantly the girls can pull off English songs. The song is fantastically typical of 2NE1, as it is wonderfully catchy and has a really cool electric dance vibe.

Finally, we also saw the official launch of the Sout Korean leg of the “Korea Ultrabook™ Project” with the release of several intimate pictures of our girls working in the Studio on the new song and using Intel’s Ultrabook (yes, even CL our resident techno illiterate leader). If you haven’t seen the pictures already, visit 2NE1 Updates, but we have posted a few below:

DJ Poet is working on beats for 2NE1 Minji, Bom & Dara’s parts for the Ultra™ project.^^

As expected of CL! The best talent that can’t be absent from the Ultrabook™ project!

Minji, Dara & Bom are having a good time with the Ultrabook™!

After a long period with hardly any concrete news, things are looking up for 2NE1's U.S debut, they showed signs of moving towards the completion of their English Album. It's interesting to see them continuously create new songs and maintain their relationship with Will.i.am and other influential Producers such as DJ Poet. Hopefully, we will soon get a decisive update on 2NE1s project with Will.i.am, In the meantime, make sure to continue to follow the interesting Intel Ultrabook tour, you can visit the site to view the images and watch videos.

2NE1 is rumored to have collab with Rihanna or Nicki Minaj?? That would be great. Though I personally like Nicki more, I kind of prefer 2NE1 to work with Rihanna because Nicki is gaining too many anti fans now TT.TT . I don't want 2NE1 to face public prejudice right at the beginning of their US debut, so working with Rihanna is safer I guess.

I dunno though. I see a lot of people not liking her being around Chris Brown again cause of what he did in the past...and I'm personally one of those people just because, to me, he hasn't shown that he's changed and he won't burst and beat you up if you do something wrong... But I think the girls are fierce enough a group to do their own thing on their US debut imo. I'd love a duet with Fergie but I'm a major Fergie fan and have been since I was like 12 lol so I'm biased.
