CL（2NE1）の音楽的センスはアメリカで通じるか…？
CL (2NE1) samples Wu-Tang Clan's "Method Man" for US debut song
The credits for the Korean girl group "2NE1" CL's first official US debut single "Lifted" have been released.
On the afternoon of the 18th, through his official blog, YG released a poster with credits along with CL (2NE1) standing above the clouds with a sexy yet unique look.
"Lifted" was produced by YG's Teddy, and the lyrics were jointly written by CL, Teddy, and American rapper Asher Roth.
In particular, the song is eye-catching as it samples part of the song "Method Man" by the legendary hip-hop group "Wu-Tang Clan" from New York in the 1990s.
'Method Man' is a song included in Wu-Tang Clan's debut album 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' and was selected as '100 Best Rap Singles' by the famous US music magazine 'The Source'. It's a popular song that was also up.
"Lifted" was reborn with the latest sound by sampling part of "Method Man" by producer Teddy, who loved "Wu-Tang Clan" when he was a child. Female rapper CL re-sang the part that male rapper Method Man sang toughly, and it is a hip-hop song that transcends strange sensations and exudes sexiness.
CL met Method Man, the main character of this song, in the US and played "Lifted", and Method Man said he liked it very much.
On the other hand, CL's new song "Lifted" will be released at midnight on the 19th.

"I don't know much."
There may have been several times in the past when an unknown singer went to the United States to make his debut.
However, CL (2NE1) is the first singer who is known as a K-POP girl to debut straight in the United States without uploading songs on YouTube to find out how it feels. Isn't it?
K-pop solo singer PSY's "Gangnam Style" sold so well that it swept the top of the US Billboard 100. However, this song is not a song that debuted in the United States and sold. It is a pattern that came back in Korea, uploaded it to YouTube, caught fire, spread its popularity around the world, and became a big hit in the United States. PSY had several hits in this style.
However, just because they made a hit song and made a name for themselves, it doesn't mean that their American debut will go smoothly. PSY is holding back from being active in America because he knows it's not that sweet. Well, if PSY is as well-known as PSY, there is no need to go to the United States, but since it's a comic song, whether PSY is there or in the video, his presence doesn't change that much.
However, CL is a little different. Her ability as an artist has already been proven through her activities with 2NE1, but she also has the side of an idol (explosive power) whose presence occupies a lot of weight.
"This is extremely important." Because idols mysteriously connect the world. Because she was an idol for the Beatles, Queen, and Michael Jackson, she shook the hearts of music fans around the world.
America, a white nation, would not be so naive that Asian singers could compete solely on their ability as artists. It seems that strength can be a hindrance depending on the situation.
Moreover, America is a crucible of races, a place where diverse music from many countries enters and swells.
It's normal for the local music of one country to be drowned out by the surge of diverse music.
Therefore, in order to shine there, careful calculation and ingenuity are required.
I don't know what kind of song CL chose, "Method Man" by the legendary hip-hop group "Wu-Tang Clan" from New York, USA. She may have adopted a part of this song.
"In this situation, sense is the problem." She wants to believe in CL's finely honed musical sense.
