Top 100 Korean Rappers

If you haven't seen it yet, please check out the Top 50 K-Pop Idol Rappers on http://topkpopidols.blogspot.hk/2015/07/top-50-k-pop-idol-rappers.html

Korean Hip-Hop isn't just "American Hip-Hop in a Different Language". Korean Hip-Hop is all about the rhythm and flow of the raps and soulful voices, unlike American rap which is only about pimping and booty.

Korean Hip-hop music is becoming as big as Korean Pop music thanks to the mainstream idol rappers and underground Korean rappers who could top the charts without difficulties. Some of the companies which consist of the top notch rappers are Brand New Music, AOMG, Amoeba Culture, Illionaire Records, Jungle Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and Hi-Lite Records. Some rappers make names for themselves through solo careers like San E, Verbal Jint, and Paloalto. Others gain fame through being in duos or trios, like Epik High's Tablo and Mithra Jin, Dynamic Duo's Choiza and Gaeko, and Garion's MC Meta and Naachal. Others are idols like Block B's Zico and Kyung, BTS' Rap Monster and Suga, and Big Bang's G-Dragon and T.O.P. Finally, apart from solos, duos, and groups, most of the underground rappers started from rap crews like Uptown, Jiggy Fellaz, and Dae Nam Hyup.

Top 50 K-Pop Idol Rappers

This is an updated list of the best Korean idol rappers in 2015.

Honorable Mentions

With hip-hop being a major theme in K-Pop nowadays, many rappers in the top 50 are probably idols who fans only knew for a year or 2. This also means that many idol rappers who were in the last top 50 did not make the cut for this year's top 50. Some of the rappers are BtoB's Ilhoon, Rainbow's Woori, and Hello Venus' Lime. In addition to these 3, some few surprises that did not make the cut are 2NE1's versatile Minzy, 4Minute's lead rapper Jiyoon, and GOT7's deep voiced Mark.

Top idol groups in terms of rapping

As mentioned before, many new K-Pop groups debut every year, and many of these groups follow the hip-hop trend, therefore, the groups' companies create "rappers" for this sole reason. Every group out there has at least 2 rappers, but not all of them have the skills to be called a "rapper". 

Seven Seasons' Block B, which debuted under Stardom Entertainment, is an example of a K-Pop idol group which has rappers whose skill rival those of the underground hip-hop scene. Block B's Zico and Kyung in particular, are rappers who are deeply respected in both the mainstream world and the underground scene. 

Some other groups which boast of their rapping skills are Big Bang, Winner, and iKON from YG Entertainment, one of the biggest companies in South Korea. 2 of YG's rappers are world-famous G-Dragon and hip-hop competition TV series "Show Me The Money" winner Bobby. 

Other groups which are known for their skilled rappers are Big Hit Entertainment's Bangtan Boys (BTS) which has 4 rappers, TS Entertainment's B.A.P, Stardom Entertainment's Topp Dogg, Starship Entertainment's Monsta X, and Jungle Entertainment's M.I.B.
