Its funny because people think her debut here in America wont be succesful but she already got them Hollywood celebrities supporting her: Miley Cyrus, Rihanna (gave Cl expensive designer shoes damn), Justin biebs, Skrillex, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Katy Perry etc. _Keep doing what you do haters cause she will just keep slaying._
CL is the best rappers from Korea and you can clearly hear the influence from 90s rap AND WE LOVE IT! For the younger ones: the song is called Method Man from Wu Tang Clan.
@@Cherez7511I just see this as a cover. It's transformative if you ask me as she changed the beat of the song. Think of this as a cover, or a tribute to Wu-Tang. Lyrics were faithful too, although most were taken out (I guess for explicit reasons).
coloured braids I'm Sorry but your wrong "black culture" isn't a thing you can be "black" and Indian. It's Caribbean culture because this type of music is found all over the Caribbean and if you're trying to get technical "black culture" would mean Africa and that type of music is not African at all so you're wrong.
No, Black Culture is a thing, and no it wouldn't be just AFRICA because enough of us were on the European Cruise of abusive free labor and dropped us at creating a large African diaspora, while still being disconnected from their motherland. So miss us with yo bullshit. Also, this is pure black culture because a chunk of this song is by the Wu-tang-Clan. So her being "inspired" doesn't make her unique. Actually, I'm more bummed out that what made the song catchy and likable isn't even her. So yay she practically did a dancehall remix to a hip-hop jam to be marketable to the American audience. Let's admit it; black culture is very marketable and trendy. Oh yes, reggae is black culture.It hails from Jamaica, you know one of the drop-off stations of the European Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Cruise. How about you read up on the diversity of black people and black culture before trying to educate us. I won't be waiting for a reply. NEXT!
Just wanted to put this out there; 1. Method Man heard that she was sampling his song and contacted her. He gave her permission and even made a cameo in the video. 2. A lot of the people in the video are her friends. She wanted a fun video and what better way than to have your friends there? She did not grow up in South Korea so her friends do not consist of mainly Korean people. 3. This is just one song by her. I'm sure she will eventually release other songs that might be better. This is actually tame for her considering her past songs. 4. CL is not a typical stick to one style person. Yes her song before this was a "in your face" song and this not. I don't think you should expect her to do something you expect. Rather, be prepared for unexpected stuff. Frankly, that makes me excited to know that she's going to surprise us but at the same time not know how.
CL literally said "you don't know me and you don't know my style" and y'all are still trying to tell her this isn't her? (I realize it's a reference, but the point remains the same). Next.
CL was featured on BEP's new song, Dopeness. Hope you can check it out. Thanks. 😁 open.spotify.com/track/1LYuXxdooUiWRNMPEPleqX?si=rop4Xh_zRWK6wHkI-_vCLA
I played this in my class. My classmates don't know KPOP and have never heard of KPOP. They loved this song! They were all like "What's the name of the song?" Next day they were all like "I've got myself a 40 I've got myself a shawty, and I'm a box of gold get lifted"
those lyrics aren't cl's tho... lmao, people have been singing "I've got myself a 40 I've got myself a shawty, and I'm about to go get lifted" for ages man. Its samples from a wu-tang clan song called method man.

Comments are hilarious. 1. She's not a "try hard american". She was never the typical korean idol so don't act like she changed soo much. 2. "This is not her style bla bla bla" Did you even heard the first 2 lines of this song? Also, are you not allowed as a musician to try out everything you want? 3. "She's acting black" Is smoking, twerking and alcohol "black stuff" for you? If yes, then you are obviously racist. 4. "This is a rip-off from Method Man" He is in the fckn video! Do you really think he didn't allow her to sample it but is still filming an MV with her? Do you even think about what you are saying? 5. "She's the asian Iggy" HAHAHAHAHAHA. First things first CL writes her own lyrics. Lifted is not the best example since the most parts are sampled but she wrote many songs for 2NE1 (the band she's in). Her Korean lyrics are really awesome. You need to know that she speaks besides Korean, also 3 other languages. Even native rappers have problems with good lyrics so I think this is really good for someone who's not completely fluent in English. (her English is still very very good)
Friendly reminder: 1. Before you rant about her ripping off method man, your fave made a cameo @1:43. Also, the conception of this song arose from sampling the original. It's heavily intended to pay tribute to hip hop's early beginnings. 2. CL is surrounded by many POC, both in the MV and real life. She respects all people and cultures, and by no means is trying to appropriate or portray stereotypes. Participants were her friends and friends of friends. I'm sorry for any misperceptions, but she doesn't deserve flack for sampling when Meth clearly appreciates the homage by making an appearance. And she means no disrespect to any culture when she innocently decided to craft this MV w/ her friends help for fun. 👌🏽
+NaturallyUnorthodoxx Sorry but you sound very, very ignorant, and you clearly have never even heard the original because this is far from being a full on cover...
Please watch the making of this CL is not some loser doing a cover she loves his music and asked Method Man to co lab this track its nice too see RESPECT paid to him and his music. CL has been preforming for years and co writing songs for almost as long of course for her first full English album she wants to work with people who inspire her. And if it brings more fans to Method Man great so it should.
Method Man got paid for this. CL didn't reach out to method man because CL DIDN'T KNOW THE SONG THAT WAS BEING SAMPLED TO BEGIN WITH! You're right. She IS surrounded by people of color. White people. She loves them. She only hangs around Blacks for business reasons. Check her social media!!!
TheWorldAintPretty TWAP WDYM?! CL was in the studio with YG Entertainment's in-house producer, Teddy, browsing through old school music one night and stumbled upon this track when they decided to play with it and put her in the booth. So yes, she is fully aware of where her sample is drawn from. White ppl aren't categorized as POC. Her business and social life intertwine so she has a diverse group of friends regardless. Social media isn't indicative of her racial preference. In fact, if you want to be hypercritical, most ppl she posts with are also related to business purposes: designers, musicians, and dancers of all backgrounds. As I have said, she's surrounded by an eclectic group of ppl and respects them, period.
Can’t get over the fact this is a sample of method man - wutang clan she is the best K-pop rapper out there she is on another level 👌🏽 only a queen can do this ❤
I'm so overwhelmed. This video was filmed in my neighborhood, in the Bronx, originally where Hip-hop was born. Then we have Method Man dancing with her. This was a pleasant surprise for real! I don't know if there is anyone else from NYC or from the Bronx but this was legit lit! Put some respek on CL's name!
I'm from the Boogie Down too! I loved it and I was grinning when I saw her walking over the Cross Bronx Expressway!! I'm so glad to see her going to the ROOTS of Hip-Hop!! South Bronx for the win!
I wasn't expecting Kpop at all and this video left me with a smile on my face. You were expecting Kpop and now u mad? Well thats your problem, not CL's .😂😂😂
I'm going to be honest I have no clue who this lady is I just seen her name come up in comments from the method man video but I got to say I think it's a nice tribute to his classic.
There's a lot of people slut shaming her and most of those people are/were blackjacks saying "she's better than this" y'all love slut shaming so much you'll do it to ur own fave lol bye 👀
+Michaela Doneza i mean some of them had cl as their icon, a lot have said "she's better than this why is she whoring" and things like "i'm so disappointed in her why is she in a bikini? why is she grinding? my girl isn't a slut" i never said it was all blackjacks i said a lot of the slut shaming i've seen is coming from some blackjacks
well, anyone can change their profile to make them look like a CL stan but i do understand that some blackjacks might not like because they're used to seeing her in K-POP:)
+Michaela Doneza yes true, but i think if people wanted to hate on her they would not go to that trouble. they would hate on her regardless. i didnt even mean any shade to blackjacks bc i love 2ne1 it was just something i noticed
This song has been my ringtone for the past 3years. So when I actually hear the song I think I'm getting a phone call. But that's how much I loved this song. Sooo fxxking slept on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
she's finally free!! I know contracts suck and she probably lost a huge part of her work, but people are waiting for her and it's never too late to restart.
I don't understand some people. She's making an american debut, not a kpop debut in america. So yes, it does not sound like kpop. At least give her chance. The american music industry is different than the kpop music industry. I personally think she will get more famous. I look forward to it! p.s. Do remember that not many people know this channel so it is not going to have a lot of views. Once it does get noticed, I think she will have a lot more views.
You're right it's not kpop but it still sucks. I don't think this would even compete with some of the music that is playing here in America. If she wants to make it big here she has to do something better then this.
Briana Renee The lyrics are pretty much recycled from Method Man which is old school hip-hop/rap. Honestly, it does feel like just another generic mainstream song that has a catchy beat that people can dance to. However, it seems like that is the formula most used in the industry, thus if she wants to get recognized first, she has to make something that is "catchy." I assume that once she gets past that barrier, she will start mixing her own style in. But, like I said she has to get enough attention first.
+주사빈 lol then be offened. I like Cl but I am entitled to my opinion and I think it sucks. She won't ever make in America with this bullshit. Just saying.
LOL! I'm sure you see the view count on this video. Stop being bitter. Artists are allowed to experiment with different genres, and this song is awesome.
This industry was so unfair to CL and the rest of the 2NE1 members... They were used and thrown to a curve like trash. They all deserved so much more than what they were given. 💔
@@shabadaba7466 Well long story short she was to make a debut is the U.S. with a full album she made in 2013/14 i belive. So during the haitus of 2ne1. She released 2 songs, this one and hello bitches, but then nothing. Theres was a teaser of an mv she did but that never was released and neither was her album after 2 years of waiting. And why ? we dont know. Then minzy escaped from YG because they were sleeping on everyone. So she then came back in korea with the others 2 girls and made an album. That was finished and everything BUT then YG disbanded the band in 2016 before releasing anything. With no reasons.... Again! So has a goobye to 2ne1 fans they made a mv with basically no budget really with their recorded song "goobye" that was originally aimed for Minzy departured from 2ne1. Then its like CL is - ok then let me make my music then and release something... but nothing! CL posted some publications on hers socials letting us know she was getting frustrated with the fact that nothing was advancing in her music carreer. And then when her contract was to be resigned in 2019 but obviously she decide not to because they didnt let her do nothing for so long. I mean lets not forget that before all the kpop fever took all around the world, 2ne1 made selling records in america for kpop and we're getting well known. CL was said to be the second most influential person on the the planet by the TIME in 2015. She was about to blow all over with proper managment and promotions but yg never delivered.
This definitely not a kpop song so STOP COMPARING IT WITH KPOP SONGS DANGGG YOU SALTY GUYS SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON YOUR KPOP FAVES AND STOP PESTERING HERE
Our band, which has been shaking the K-Pop sector with its unexpected, extraordinary styles and songs since 2009, has not only stayed in the K-Pop sector, but has spread to the whole world!
"This isn't Kpop..." LISTEN, this is her AMERICAN debut. What did you expect? 😂 Why would she write a song in Korean when she's debuting in AMERICA where everyone primarily speaks ENGLISH. I've never seen so many idiots in my life. You're also complaining about her not writing the lyrics? Um...most American celebrities don't even WRITE their own music. Instead of hating on her, you should at least be impressed that she was even ABLE to debut in America at ALL. 😆 Anyways, we love you CL! ❤️❤️❤️
Itsiwhatitsi Um, but I'm talking about America in general...? There's a lot of racist people and almost everyone judges one another off their looks or their nationality...
I sat here for an embarrassingly long time wishing that there was subtitles. Me: "YG, why you have no ENG subtitles??" YG: "Listen closely, my child." CL: "Gettin' lifted, never coming down..." Me: "Oh."
I like the song. I won't lie, I was scared for her US debut knowing how critical ppl are here. But I like the song and Im glad she chose this song as her Debut bc it's mellow enough to listen to, easy on the ears, yet has a nice beat to vibe to. I was afraid that it might be something too extraordinary for Americans to listen to but I'm glad this was her song.
Of course not her best work bc we've all seen better and we know her potentials... But to look at the overall situation, this was and is the best choice to go by. Americans (besides american kpop lovers) usually have a hard time accepting outside/international artist such as Justin Bieber, Iggy, etc. so it's best to slowly ease her way into the American industry instead of getting hates from a hardcore song lol
I also think it was a way to address the haters for the jump. saying you know nothing about me so stop tryna kill my vibe, like method man did (who she got the hook and bridge from)
Its stupid how a lot of people are saying "why she trying to be black? why is there no Korean? why is she in the 'hood'? what is she wearing? what is she smoking?" blah blah blah blah. this is CL. This is her style. Like EVERY OTHER ARTIST SHE IS AN ADULT. people that are still in their teens tend to forget that she is not a teen anymore. She is doing something smart and branching her music out to different people, cultures and not just sticking to one main thing. not that its a bad thing to do that, but its a good thing to reach out to different tastes. can y'all shut the fuck up and listen to the music and vibe? I get some wont like it but chill dude its just music. Btw do i get a good grade for this essay? JK
@Ice 77 listen here sis, first of all its 2ne1 not 21. Second of all cl didn't sacrifice 2ne1 for her american debut, and there is so much proof for that too. No one wants you here if you're gonna hate, so you're dismissed bye!
people should watch her interview about this.. she basically said she just sang the song to how she wanted to sing this and Method Man approved with and told her thats what he did as well.. like people! Come on... I would have thought method man would sue them for doing this if he didnt even approve.. so... imma go lifted now haha Love it
yeah but thats the point tho haha cuz ppl keep saying that CL copied Method man.. like dude.. she basically bought the song to sing it.. I think SME has been doing that as well. like Run Devil Run by SNSD/Ke$ha..
it's good idk why ppl are expecting some never before seen masterpiece. all I know is I smile when I watch it and the beat is sweet. I think it's all lot better than dr. pepper.
+Laura J It's CL's choice, so why should we interfere? Apart from the song talking about smoking weed, drinking,etc. I thought of the song as something that lifts up your spirits, just like "I am the best". For my opinion, I really love the song and, like her lyrics, we don't know her style.I know some fans are disappointed with the issues of 2ne1, but what I only want to do is keep on supporting, even if they go on separate ways.After all, they are always and FOURever our QUEENS. And by the way, leader-nim, step by step, is introducing Kpop to the americans. Don't you notice other comments that say "Can u introduce me to her grp?" Please don't hate her decisions, if u do, I don't even want to call you a blackjack, even if you were present to their debut up to now.
@Ice 77 Did anyone here say diva voices? First thing first YOU were watching the mv, they must not be that bad. Oh and also their awards say different😌
Everyone keeps saying that this song isn't enough and not a catchy song. But do you know that CL is the only Asian singer in the Billboard of this year, in the same list with Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Wiz Khalifa. And luckily she entered the list with this song. So please don't tire yourself and shut the fuck up honey. Thanks for all this views, we owe you all this success.
Essabar Imane Even though you hate her look 👀 at you still coming here to watch her video. Which prove that she is a queen even the hater are watching her🥳🥳🥳
since your one of the top comments sorry for posting here ^^" CL's fan project in Seattle needs donations! www.gofundme.com/2rfqnrpg&rcid=09551216846211e6b630bc764e0525d6
Me any time I feel down "Hey you get off my cloud.... don't know me and don't know my style.... I'm about to go get lifted🦋🦋" Listening to this legendary song in 2023.!!!!
I mean being Asian and made it to the American music industry is pretty successful in my book. Why y'all hating? This is her America debut or whatever right??
1. Asian 2. Female rapper. I think it's going to be hard for her if she becomes popular in America then she's going to get tons of more negative comments.
Its funny because people think her debut here in America wont be succesful but she already got them Hollywood celebrities supporting her: Miley Cyrus, Rihanna (gave Cl expensive designer shoes damn), Justin biebs, Skrillex, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Katy Perry etc.
_Keep doing what you do haters cause she will just keep slaying._
just wait bruh the song will come out soon she have alot of connection, like its crazy and dont forget OGmaco
Plus Method man obviously approves of it
Implying that people supporting you sells records. You can't buy authenticity.
Rapmon is Jins sugar daddy

don't kidnap me what in the fuck does rap mom or Jin have to do with anything?

I love how she's Korean but she's so into American culture and into the Caribbean culture too. Make's her so unique and so enjoyable.
Jadiel Rivera Nah.. she just wants more money since K-Pop isn't enough for her.

Sorry but your wrong "black culture" isn't a thing you can be "black" and Indian. It's Caribbean culture because this type of music is found all over the Caribbean and if you're trying to get technical "black culture" would mean Africa and that type of music is not African at all so you're wrong.

After hearing 2ne1’s reunion and I’m here
They’re going to perform the world tour under YG
Queens are back
Just wanted to put this out there;
1. Method Man heard that she was sampling his song and contacted her. He gave her permission and even made a cameo in the video.
2. A lot of the people in the video are her friends. She wanted a fun video and what better way than to have your friends there? She did not grow up in South Korea so her friends do not consist of mainly Korean people.
3. This is just one song by her. I'm sure she will eventually release other songs that might be better. This is actually tame for her considering her past songs.

It's get off my cloud lol
couch? hahahahaha love your user name tho
actually method man said it but point taken
😂
Couch? ~ Uhm more like "Cloud" 😂
This song already made the billboard chart. She had a good start so why did yg decide to fuck it all up for her? She could've dominated the US.
UnknownSpeeds YG never really liked 2NE1 girls so he didn’t even give them the chance to start anything
Because YG is shit
they(yg) even said that 2ne1 is ugly. and they r not cute. thus 2ne1 came up with the song ugly.
miss u 2ne1
YG is a ass
This song is one of YG's biggest failure, it seems. Americans and Koreans hated this song.
2024 still here. can't move-on
THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD DAMN, SHE EVEN DID SOME REGGAE THERE! THIS IS GOD TIER

Next day they were all like "I've got myself a 40 I've got myself a shawty, and I'm a box of gold get lifted"
What really thats awesome!
"And I'm about to go get lifted"*
ayeeeeee
but this is not k-pop .-. this is her american Debut its all in english and its not even pop
those lyrics aren't cl's tho... lmao, people have been singing "I've got myself a 40 I've got myself a shawty, and I'm about to go get lifted" for ages man. Its samples from a wu-tang clan song called method man.

you guys are all judging her because she is a kpop artist but if you heard this randomly on the radio without knowing its CL you wouldn't be judging and probably be bumpin' to it
Also all of these people being 'omg it's not kpop! omg so trashy!' is getting to my last nerve tbh.
smh
yessss
yaaaaaas
i can't believe there are still reasonable people in this comments section 👏👏👏 props to you honestly
Comments are hilarious.
1. She's not a "try hard american". She was never the typical korean idol so don't act like she changed soo much.
2. "This is not her style bla bla bla" Did you even heard the first 2 lines of this song? Also, are you not allowed as a musician to try out everything you want?
3. "She's acting black" Is smoking, twerking and alcohol "black stuff" for you? If yes, then you are obviously racist.
4. "This is a rip-off from Method Man" He is in the fckn video! Do you really think he didn't allow her to sample it but is still filming an MV with her? Do you even think about what you are saying?
5. "She's the asian Iggy" HAHAHAHAHAHA. First things first CL writes her own lyrics. Lifted is not the best example since the most parts are sampled but she wrote many songs for 2NE1 (the band she's in). Her Korean lyrics are really awesome. You need to know that she speaks besides Korean, also 3 other languages. Even native rappers have problems with good lyrics so I think this is really good for someone who's not completely fluent in English. (her English is still very very good)

Friendly reminder: 1. Before you rant about her ripping off method man, your fave made a cameo @1:43. Also, the conception of this song arose from sampling the original. It's heavily intended to pay tribute to hip hop's early beginnings.
2. CL is surrounded by many POC, both in the MV and real life. She respects all people and cultures, and by no means is trying to appropriate or portray stereotypes. Participants were her friends and friends of friends.
I'm sorry for any misperceptions, but she doesn't deserve flack for sampling when Meth clearly appreciates the homage by making an appearance. And she means no disrespect to any culture when she innocently decided to craft this MV w/ her friends help for fun. 👌🏽
It's a difference between sampling and doing a full on cover... but whatever floats your boat
+NaturallyUnorthodoxx Sorry but you sound very, very ignorant, and you clearly have never even heard the original because this is far from being a full on cover...
Please watch the making of this CL is not some loser doing a cover she loves his music and asked Method Man to co lab this track its nice too see RESPECT paid to him and his music. CL has been preforming for years and co writing songs for almost as long of course for her first full English album she wants to work with people who inspire her. And if it brings more fans to Method Man great so it should.
Method Man got paid for this. CL didn't reach out to method man because CL DIDN'T KNOW THE SONG THAT WAS BEING SAMPLED TO BEGIN WITH! You're right. She IS surrounded by people of color. White people. She loves them. She only hangs around Blacks for business reasons. Check her social media!!!
TheWorldAintPretty TWAP WDYM?! CL was in the studio with YG Entertainment's in-house producer, Teddy, browsing through old school music one night and stumbled upon this track when they decided to play with it and put her in the booth. So yes, she is fully aware of where her sample is drawn from. White ppl aren't categorized as POC. Her business and social life intertwine so she has a diverse group of friends regardless. Social media isn't indicative of her racial preference. In fact, if you want to be hypercritical, most ppl she posts with are also related to business purposes: designers, musicians, and dancers of all backgrounds. As I have said, she's surrounded by an eclectic group of ppl and respects them, period.
"why CL tryin' so hard"
CL: you dont know me you dont know ma style.
EXACTLY! 😂
SHE'S NOT EVEN TRYIN LOL
+Kimsea Chea ikr!😂
Can’t get over the fact this is a sample of method man - wutang clan she is the best K-pop rapper out there she is on another level 👌🏽 only a queen can do this ❤
Lifted in 22
CL queen
I'm so overwhelmed. This video was filmed in my neighborhood, in the Bronx, originally where Hip-hop was born. Then we have Method Man dancing with her. This was a pleasant surprise for real! I don't know if there is anyone else from NYC or from the Bronx but this was legit lit! Put some respek on CL's name!
Method man!!!!!!!
I was thinking while watching this "I wonder what meth would think about it" and then he just appeared, great song though
Someone who understands 👌💖
I'm from the Boogie Down too! I loved it and I was grinning when I saw her walking over the Cross Bronx Expressway!! I'm so glad to see her going to the ROOTS of Hip-Hop!! South Bronx for the win!
YES BRU
I wasn't expecting Kpop at all and this video left me with a smile on my face.
You were expecting Kpop and now u mad? Well thats your problem, not CL's .😂😂😂
i was expecting a halfway decent song..
Er how and why would people expect kpop? This is her AMERICAN DEBUT. Smh
+Katie H decent? did u see her naked or smth? ugh *facepalm*
+「мασмι」 finally someone that understood something
same same
This song should be trending😢😢... #trending ❤❤
Here after 2ne1’s Coachella Performance 😍♠️
I'm going to be honest I have no clue who this lady is I just seen her name come up in comments from the method man video but I got to say I think it's a nice tribute to his classic.
Same and same.
Steve Steve Her name is CL I LOVE HER SHES THE QUEEN
Steve Steve she is CL
Wu tang is for the children.
Steve Steve she's CL leader of 2NE1
There's a lot of people slut shaming her and most of those people are/were blackjacks saying "she's better than this" y'all love slut shaming so much you'll do it to ur own fave lol bye 👀
how do you even know its blackjacks, when have you ever met all the blackjacks to even know? they're most probably fake
+Michaela Doneza i mean some of them had cl as their icon, a lot have said "she's better than this why is she whoring" and things like "i'm so disappointed in her why is she in a bikini? why is she grinding? my girl isn't a slut" i never said it was all blackjacks i said a lot of the slut shaming i've seen is coming from some blackjacks
well, anyone can change their profile to make them look like a CL stan but i do understand that some blackjacks might not like because they're used to seeing her in K-POP:)
+Michaela Doneza yes true, but i think if people wanted to hate on her they would not go to that trouble. they would hate on her regardless. i didnt even mean any shade to blackjacks bc i love 2ne1 it was just something i noticed
Im a die hard blackjack and i love this XD
Catchy af song
NOBODY WAS DOING IT LIKE CL AT THIS TIME!!!
This song has been my ringtone for the past 3years. So when I actually hear the song I think I'm getting a phone call. But that's how much I loved this song. Sooo fxxking slept on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
she's finally free!! I know contracts suck and she probably lost a huge part of her work, but people are waiting for her and it's never too late to restart.
why did they let her go
They did a bad job of promoting her anyways. She deserves much better.
She needs to lose weight first
White Lillie - Shut the fuck up
No, she doesn't.
"You don't know my style."
Y'all CL said it in the song why you complaining?😂
Exactly what I was thinking ! Thank you !
+Ladyalex alle Np

She wrote the lyrics with Teddy so...
this is gold

Lifted in 2023. 💗
I don't understand some people. She's making an american debut, not a kpop debut in america. So yes, it does not sound like kpop. At least give her chance. The american music industry is different than the kpop music industry. I personally think she will get more famous. I look forward to it!
p.s. Do remember that not many people know this channel so it is not going to have a lot of views. Once it does get noticed, I think she will have a lot more views.
You're right it's not kpop but it still sucks. I don't think this would even compete with some of the music that is playing here in America. If she wants to make it big here she has to do something better then this.
Briana Renee The lyrics are pretty much recycled from Method Man which is old school hip-hop/rap. Honestly, it does feel like just another generic mainstream song that has a catchy beat that people can dance to. However, it seems like that is the formula most used in the industry, thus if she wants to get recognized first, she has to make something that is "catchy." I assume that once she gets past that barrier, she will start mixing her own style in. But, like I said she has to get enough attention first.
+Briana Renee some ppl like me enjoy this shit, im so offended u said this sucks, just because it doesnt appeal to you doesnt mean it sucks 🙄
+주사빈 lol then be offened. I like Cl but I am entitled to my opinion and I think it sucks. She won't ever make in America with this bullshit. Just saying.
LOL! I'm sure you see the view count on this video. Stop being bitter. Artists are allowed to experiment with different genres, and this song is awesome.
This industry was so unfair to CL and the rest of the 2NE1 members... They were used and thrown to a curve like trash. They all deserved so much more than what they were given. 💔
I loved 2ne1, but I'm really lost on the "nowadays kpop". Where can I find one of those godness!?
Idols all are honestly
Wait what happened to CL?
@@shabadaba7466
Well long story short she was to make a debut is the U.S. with a full album she made in 2013/14 i belive. So during the haitus of 2ne1.
She released 2 songs, this one and hello bitches, but then nothing. Theres was a teaser of an mv she did but that never was released and neither was her album after 2 years of waiting. And why ? we dont know.
Then minzy escaped from YG because they were sleeping on everyone.
So she then came back in korea with the others 2 girls and made an album. That was finished and everything BUT then YG disbanded the band in 2016 before releasing anything. With no reasons.... Again!
So has a goobye to 2ne1 fans they made a mv with basically no budget really with their recorded song "goobye" that was originally aimed for Minzy departured from 2ne1.
Then its like CL is - ok then let me make my music then and release something... but nothing! CL posted some publications on hers socials letting us know she was getting frustrated with the fact that nothing was advancing in her music carreer.
And then when her contract was to be resigned in 2019 but obviously she decide not to because they didnt let her do nothing for so long.
I mean lets not forget that before all the kpop fever took all around the world, 2ne1 made selling records in america for kpop and we're getting well known. CL was said to be the second most influential person on the the planet by the TIME in 2015. She was about to blow all over with proper managment and promotions but yg never delivered.
Try mamammoo they can sing and harmonize perfectly 🧡🧡
All those girls bands and all those artists ive listened to in the last 20 years but No one is even remotely close.
CL is the one true korean queen
CL and Method man dancing 😅💕
CL made it to the Billboard Hot 100!!!
I'm so happy for her
This definitely not a kpop song so STOP COMPARING IT WITH KPOP SONGS
DANGGG YOU SALTY GUYS SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON YOUR KPOP FAVES AND STOP PESTERING HERE
+XDranzer000 Korean
Right? Gosh people are so damn annoying
tea
+XDranzer000 It is a special musical genre because it is quite different from regular pop music and it is in Korean.
YUp
Our band, which has been shaking the K-Pop sector with its unexpected, extraordinary styles and songs since 2009, has not only stayed in the K-Pop sector, but has spread to the whole world!
Lifted in all of timee.
"This isn't Kpop..." LISTEN, this is her AMERICAN debut. What did you expect? 😂 Why would she write a song in Korean when she's debuting in AMERICA where everyone primarily speaks ENGLISH. I've never seen so many idiots in my life. You're also complaining about her not writing the lyrics? Um...most American celebrities don't even WRITE their own music. Instead of hating on her, you should at least be impressed that she was even ABLE to debut in America at ALL. 😆 Anyways, we love you CL! ❤️❤️❤️
👏👏👏👏
👍👌👏👏👏
Right? Like look at Beyonce...she barely writes her own lyrics, but everyone's all over her dick.
All americans come from different countries..
Itsiwhatitsi Um, but I'm talking about America in general...? There's a lot of racist people and almost everyone judges one another off their looks or their nationality...
this song isn't weak. this is dame good. the weak are haters ears.
go girl go 💞
exactly
they just can't accept the fact that she's the slay queen
Fact.
Damn*
the best song everrrrr
This is CL’s most successful single in Western Countries...
CL IS NOT WITH YG ANYMORE. I SMELL ALBUM FOR REAL THIS TIME
Same. I'm excited.
Ahhhhh i hope sooo
She is releasing a new album!!!!!!!!!!!
U right!!!
She is coming back. Subscribe her new TH-cam channel ----> th-cam.com/channels/uX8lXIexG8dRXFx54CVm2Q.html
I sat here for an embarrassingly long time wishing that there was subtitles.
Me: "YG, why you have no ENG subtitles??"
YG: "Listen closely, my child."
CL: "Gettin' lifted, never coming down..."
Me: "Oh."
Besides, if this wasn't her American debut, YG never subs immediately :p
Ethan The Lollipop-Sucking Alien Very true!
why is this so funny i really lold
😂😂😂😂
same lmao
Lifted in 2023 ❤
Nothing better being "Lifted" While listening to Lifted
I like the song. I won't lie, I was scared for her US debut knowing how critical ppl are here. But I like the song and Im glad she chose this song as her Debut bc it's mellow enough to listen to, easy on the ears, yet has a nice beat to vibe to. I was afraid that it might be something too extraordinary for Americans to listen to but I'm glad this was her song.
Of course not her best work bc we've all seen better and we know her potentials... But to look at the overall situation, this was and is the best choice to go by. Americans (besides american kpop lovers) usually have a hard time accepting outside/international artist such as Justin Bieber, Iggy, etc. so it's best to slowly ease her way into the American industry instead of getting hates from a hardcore song lol
I also think it was a way to address the haters for the jump. saying you know nothing about me so stop tryna kill my vibe, like method man did (who she got the hook and bridge from)
yess ikr!
yeah
easy listening yas
씨엘 퀸 그 자체임.
이거 우리나라 사람들한테 좀 알려지게 음원으로 내주면 소원이 없을 것 같다.... 나 컬러링 하고 싶어 진짜.
전 한국에서하는 무대보고싶음...
이거 왜 한국에서 음원없는거죠 ㅜㅜ 노래 너무 좋은데
그니까여...넘 좋아ㅜㅠ ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )
ㅆㅇㅈ
음원으로 나왔었는데 갑자기 없어졌어요... 노래방에서도 부르고 그랬었는데 없어져서 못불러요ㅠㅠ흑
i think CL always be my favourite singer everytime i love it 😍😍😍
EVEN IN 2024 THIS IS FYEEE!
her ponytail is so perfect!
it suits her!
I know right!
for real 👌👌
Its stupid how a lot of people are saying "why she trying to be black? why is there no Korean? why is she in the 'hood'? what is she wearing? what is she smoking?" blah blah blah blah. this is CL. This is her style. Like EVERY OTHER ARTIST SHE IS AN ADULT. people that are still in their teens tend to forget that she is not a teen anymore.
She is doing something smart and branching her music out to different people, cultures and not just sticking to one main thing. not that its a bad thing to do that, but its a good thing to reach out to different tastes. can y'all shut the fuck up and listen to the music and vibe?
I get some wont like it but chill dude its just music. Btw do i get a good grade for this essay?
JK
I think about the younger generations who deserve not to have role models that puff this kind of image
Preach it Jackson!
+Scott Hernandez LMAO this shit is wack as fuck son...
louree elias oooll
stealing punch line's from old songs is her style?
Lifted 2023 ✌🏻
PERFECTION.
You deserve more, baby. I suport this queen
I stan talent
I stan style
I stan CL
Ice 77 say what you want, doesn’t change the fact that she is still queen
@Ice 77 listen here sis, first of all its 2ne1 not 21. Second of all cl didn't sacrifice 2ne1 for her american debut, and there is so much proof for that too. No one wants you here if you're gonna hate, so you're dismissed bye!
*CL KEEP FIGHTING!! DON'T GIVE A COW ABOUT THEM HATERS!!!*
Go make a successful debut in the US!
LOL GET OFF HER COW!!
That comment was Cowing hilarious!
DONT GIVE AWAY YOUR COW!!!
CL to guest on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" on Sept. 15th!!!
+TheGodYiest JG yeah iam so excited
NO WAY! METHOD MAN AND CL
CL is queen
people should watch her interview about this.. she basically said she just sang the song to how she wanted to sing this and Method Man approved with and told her thats what he did as well.. like people! Come on... I would have thought method man would sue them for doing this if he didnt even approve.. so... imma go lifted now haha Love it
yeah but thats the point tho haha cuz ppl keep saying that CL copied Method man.. like dude.. she basically bought the song to sing it.. I think SME has been doing that as well. like Run Devil Run by SNSD/Ke$ha..
Method man is in the video
it's good idk why ppl are expecting some never before seen masterpiece. all I know is I smile when I watch it and the beat is sweet. I think it's all lot better than dr. pepper.
Definitely right!
+Laura J It's CL's choice, so why should we interfere? Apart from the song talking about smoking weed, drinking,etc. I thought of the song as something that lifts up your spirits, just like "I am the best". For my opinion, I really love the song and, like her lyrics, we don't know her style.I know some fans are disappointed with the issues of 2ne1, but what I only want to do is keep on supporting, even if they go on separate ways.After all, they are always and FOURever our QUEENS. And by the way, leader-nim, step by step, is introducing Kpop to the americans. Don't you notice other comments that say "Can u introduce me to her grp?" Please don't hate her decisions, if u do, I don't even want to call you a blackjack, even if you were present to their debut up to now.
The best singer from YG...you need more than that CL
@Ice 77 are you dumb or you act like it
@Ice 77 Did anyone here say diva voices? First thing first YOU were watching the mv, they must not be that bad. Oh and also their awards say different😌
@Ice 77 reported!
Not from YG anymore 👌🏻
Still listening to this song 2024
리프티드 7주년 축하해요❤
Everyone keeps saying that this song isn't enough and not a catchy song. But do you know that CL is the only Asian singer in the Billboard of this year, in the same list with Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Wiz Khalifa. And luckily she entered the list with this song. So please don't tire yourself and shut the fuck up honey. Thanks for all this views, we owe you all this success.
preach, lady!
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Selena Gomez sings??? Geez I thought it was just a walrus screeching
+Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen Maybe Selena cannot sing but CL slayed dear

Listening to this legendary song in 2023.!!!!
Best female rapper ever
I mean being Asian and made it to the American music industry is pretty successful in my book. Why y'all hating? This is her America debut or whatever right??
let alone being a female
I know right? Im so happy for her.
1. Asian 2. Female rapper. I think it's going to be hard for her if she becomes popular in America then she's going to get tons of more negative comments.
because the song isnt good and shes not a talented musician is why
This is the start of the CL revolution lol
This song made history in Kpop industry. First ever Kpop female solo artist that entered Billboard Hot 100
Lifted in 2023❤️✨
Old but Gold
I honestly don't know why they hated this. It's actually pretty catchy and has a nice beat 💖
The lyrics is about nothing actually its somehow cheap. But other american artists are same so
@@barbaran4259 ohhh, okay thankyou for the info! ☺
@@cjrocha3705 anyway I like CL shes very talented but she can do much more than this song
@@barbaran4259 I agree with you! But I liked the beat of this song tho hehehehe
Barbara N Method Man is a great song from an important album, the lyrics pay tribute to it
it's interesting how everyone sleeps differently. I always sleep on my side, my friends sleep on their backs, and y'all sleep on CL.
lmaoo
you wrong asf but ok lol
yes, she can sing. just watch her performance of Revolution.. bye
dat was dope lol
Compared to other Kpop artists, CL is not even close to what I would consider "being slept on" lol
