Dada is from Dadaism, a satirical art movement formed in negative reaction to the horrors of WWI. Doom is synonymous with destruction. The nuclear bomb, apes, and skeletons symbolize the extinction of humankind. It's a metaphor for how the world [mass media] tries to destroy a person's individuality, but their art will be preserved and used to inspire future generations (the apes discover a mic = T.O.P's music). The giant baby is the innocence of his artistic integrity. IDK the lyrics but this was my interpretation of the MV!
10 years Later and its still one of the most insanely artistic korean music videos ever made. Theres so many art references, film references, eastereggs, etc. T.O.P. really needs to come back to show us more of this artistic side to him. He'll easily top the charts/media with his style and concepts.
@awesomestuffies 2001 space oddesy reference of evolution, dadaism movement, some references to crying baby being born into a world of chaos while riding having an evolutionary friend, etc. Also I think one of the costumes is from Django unchained.
I don’t understand Korean people and idols, as far as I know, they never take TOP as their role model or idol of their music career or rap world. But, they follow TOP’s path, and transforming underground rapper to idol rapper. And the biggest thing is, every idol group has a member of deep voice and talented one responsible for rapper of this group. This is the blueprint of TOP. Why Korean are reluctant to admit that TOP is one of their inspirations.
True. I don't understand why. T.O.P is a genius, maybe idols really idolize GD because he has more solos and more active compare to T.O.P., bingu tabi has only 6 solos. I love GD but T.O.P is a genius in writing songs too, it's just sad that his not into solo.
@@ACChannel08 yeah, I agree with your point. May be he doesn’t have many solo songs and solo album. Actually, it’s enough to judge on his rap verse in Bigbang songs. So sad for TOP.
@@phoopwintkhine9004 He doesn't really care about solo album, hoping he will release a full solo album when he comeback. He teases us solos in his IG. Praying that it will be a solo ablum but if it's a subunit again with GD it's okay.
Divina Commedia It’s such a mature take on flexing skills and showing personality and taste. I’m just floored every time I hear/see it, because he’s holding back, it really is about making a really good song - building and showing nuance, not so much about passing out from lack of oxygen, but he let’s us know he could go there. That’s how to stand the test of time.
I'm like the biggest T.O.P fan. But even I know, the only thing stopping TOP from dropping a solo album is TOP! How many interviews has he said he didn't want to promote this song, he made DOOM DADA because it felt different. The music industry, recycles things over and over. The whole point of DOOM DADA was to do something that not everyone else was doing. Still he didn't want to promote the single on shows or go out of his way to compete with 2ne1/Taeyang at the time (even though he topped the chart anyways). He literally finished working on his movie and went to the studio and dropped this on us. Like one teaser picture, before Taeyang's Ringa Linga and that was it. ha He's even said that if he wanted to do a solo album, all the music is already at YG. It'd take him a few weeks to set it up and drop that album. I wish people would stop acting like TOP is underrated or unappreciated, he's his own worst critic. He'll release an album when he wants to. So quit talking shit about the other members, who clearly work just as hard on solo music.
He said he's gonna drop a solo album this year. He's alr completed it, just up to him when he wants to release it. He said this during the dome tour this year.
Ok but I'll get up there because I just got in to big bang a few days ago so yeah and I read there profiles I TOP is so like me I'm stubborn I'm a control freak(according to my family & friends)my second favorite color is pink I go crazy for it(purple is my first) I like because he's like me and I like people for their personality but hansomness came along with him.
Siac Jayakarta NGL, from all the hype BTS got, I hoped they would be like a newer version of BIGBANG but the more I listen, the more I like BIGBANG 🤷♀️
umm... actually he does get tremendous attention probably not as much as the active days of 2007-2011 or 2012. But i think most of times, people are way too focused on his good looks...though he has many other talents..For example, in comment section under his mv or the latest commercial video, many only talk about how handsome or hot he is. That's just one thing i noticed when looking for his stuffs to enjoy some of his music.
Good point Yoon Marie! He is beautiful so it's hard not to focus on how handsome he is. But I still think he has a lot to offer musically and I am hopeful we will hear more soon. I just want his star to keep shining brightly:)
Flavian Ho hes already famous alot enough he shows off alot his shirtless body anyways and his amazing solo albums daesung the 1 who needs more attention
@Sherloft Love I still remember him winning an award on one of the weekly music shows when it came out and there wasn't even any promotions for it. Neither did he perform it on the show. So glad he at least performed it in MAMA that year. This song is such a gem.
I've been calling my dog to me for like 5 minutes straight but officially gave up. Then right when I playing this he comes running. Like yes dog come listen to T.O.P
The day before T.O.P’s enlistment his song “Doom Dada” reached #1 on Melon chart. What a beautiful way for us fans to say goodbye to him! V.I.P's are the best!
This is by far the hottest korean rap song, sung by THE best Korean rapper of all time. I mean come on. Sick flows, deep vocals, with that Visual. Sorry. No one come close to him. Period.
Also the only one of the most popular rappers in Korea who never got dissed by other artists ever. Korean rappers LOVE TO DISS other artists but GD, TOP are untouchable. Like Tablo, San-E, 1llionaire, Jay Park, even popular idol rappers get flak but nobody dare screw GD and TOP, it’s cool how artists of all levels respect them. T.O.P especially, because GD’s name gets dragged at times for fun like when they want to be fashionable, but T.O.P never ever gets teased.
@@lecampagnardfandestarwars5597 Yes, lol. I think we(VIPs) tend to get lazy with out periods sometimes(myself included). But he is most definitely Mr. T.O.P
I will crying...and scream 'yess in deed been missing you TOoooppppp'...in case in their future concert you heard that scream in the crowd , it's must be me 🙋
Half of me feels like this video has a deeper meaning to it, and the other half of me is too distracted by T.O.P's face to try and figure out what that meaning is.
Dana Williams Please direct me to where I can find this person's explanation of the video lol. I'm sure it had some science references in it, especially with the primates being in it and all I was sensing a kind of evolution sense from it.
Seunghyun is one of the best rappers I've seen in the kpop community, Not only because of his Amazing rap skills but also because of his uniqueness and his love for art. He always stood out to me even when i watched their mv's for the first time, he has such a strong voice and his whole style/vibe just draws me in, I always look forward to his parts in their songs he also has amazing stage presence that i haven't seen in anyone ever. My first impression of him was that he's weird and just intimidating (which i liked ig) but when i got to know him i realised that he's the biggest sweetheart still weird but in a good way his weirdness is what makes him unique. Love you T.O.P, I will wait for you until whenever.
I cant wait for the day that Seunghyun comes back. When he says Doom Dada the ground will shake and all haters will fall silent and i will be slayed. #TheKingWillNeverDie
@Yoongi /Army He'll be done next year June 30th. If you mean comeback as in music, we have no idea. The dude debuted in 2006 and have only 2 solo songs (that aren't part of BIGBANG albums). We know better than to keep asking him, he'll do it when he feels ready. He just doesn't like promoting alone.
I want his bitch ex-gf to fall and be slain first. The stupid woman wants to stop TOP on coming back, blackmailing him with stuff. She's so bitter because even TOP made a mistake, VIPs are willing to forgive him and support him while she, fortunately, will not have a chance to debut as an artist.

I actually not random. Is exploring philosophical concept of dadaisem which is child like mockery of current system and the video is really smart actually. You just have to be well read
I'm so so worried about him, he seems really sad lately and has said explicitly that he isn't okay. We as V.I.Ps need to do everything we can to support him and whatever decisions he may make. The number of Korean idols' deaths influenced by similar situations has been increasing frighteningly recently, and we need to make sure he is okay. We love you, T.O.P!
@@honhonhonbaguettes Thank you ! And yes ! VIP's are always for T.O.P ! And fore G-Dragon, and for Seungri, and for Daesung and for Taeyang !! VIP forever ❤❤❤❤❤
@@clfdclementine5215 I will always be here for T.O.P, GD, Daesung, and Taeyang. I have a fear that I cannot trust Seungri, but I will always support him if he truly is innocent. I don't believe he deserves the hate he has gotten, even if he did have something to do with these things.
God, I always know that T.O.P is handsome but this video really fuckin' highlights it Even though there's so much freaky shit going on in the background all I can focus on is his face and the way his eyes are focused on the camera completely. He's so damn fine this isn't f a i r
lol if you think we're not ready for a TOP beast mode album just think about what would happen if there was a Hip Hop Gentlemen Part 2 I think we might all literally die just imagine GDxTOPxDOUBLE BxDOUBLE DxCL
I think TOP is the only person who looks so cool anywhere and always - doing nothing: just standing. Others do many efforts: dance, try to show emotions and give feelings to the audience, try to be cute, etc, but cannot be as cool as TOP. I love the way he behaves. Respect.
why is this so addicting ??? when i listened to this for the first time i thought this is a weird song but now my replay button broke xD Edit: when did my comment get 2700 likes ?! You're crazy 😂 xD
Can we just straight up talk about how sexy he is? I mean c'mon..... You gotta admit he’s hella fine and always will be. That deep voice and rapping of his gets me everytime
jawline, killer stare, looks good in eyeliner, deep voice, talented.... the list goes on. Also he doesn't show his body very often which probs makes people more interested, kind of like the idea behind playing hard to get
I miss the fans that would have in depth conversations about the song and mv and talk about things that they liked. Nowadays people just say things like mentioning looks, bringing other groups down, and making jokes or stupid comments to get likes
@@marcusgunn2614 salvatore riina, joe masseria, joe profaci, russel bufalini and so on they're all overweight and ball and T.O.P. just looks like a model
When I first got into Bigbang, I thought top was really cold but....oh well.....he is the funniest human.....I especially got to know his personality when he posted his face edited in blackpink's HYLT 😭😭 I choked on air.
U do know that he as another name when YG family era gave it to him . Daesung said it in family outing bingu TOP . Since than I Guess he start to show his real self . Even psy said it once TOP was in psy’s house playing his children’s slide .
Me before: I want a prince charming riding a white horse.... Me after watching Doom Dada: I want a prince like TOP riding a zebra.. 😂❤👑 Only Tabi.. ❤❤❤❤❤
@Miloness_swerve I choose taeyang because of his humbleness, 🙏 style, 😎 hot af, 🔥💪🔥hilarious, 😂, hardworking 💭 , personality 😆 and he's like a teddy bear around kids, 🐻 this is why I love youngbae, and who can forget his eye smile 😄💜💋 but tbh I love all of them, they are all unique (especially bingu top 😂😏😵) I feel bad saying this on t.o.p's MV 😅 (I still love u tho 😘)
Here to support our Choi Seunghyun ❤ I don't care that you tried a little weed because you weren't doing that to hurt other people. I will always continue my support for every individual in BIGBANG! ❤
HERE'S AN EXPLAINATION ON THE VIDEO! : Doom Dada is a reference to Dadaism, a form of fine art. Doom Dada means that the end of art (music in this case) is coming, due to the fact that most everyone cares about money. Now, onto the video, which references many influential films and artists. At about 0:53 we see T.O.P with a eyepatch-like object covering his eye, referencing the film The Leper. At 1:06 we see the skeletons moving, referencing the Zootrope, the first way animation came to be. At 1:38 we see a large painting made by Kim Whanki (one of the first modern artists) In the painting is a deer, which we see a real one interacting with T.O.P, meaning he is trying to connect himself to important artists. At 2:02 it is referencing the Blair Witch Project, one of the first modern horror films. At 2:14 we see a large headed baby, referencing the film Brazil. At 2:53, T.O.P is referencing not only the film the Cabinet of Dr Caligori, but his handlebar mustache is also referencing one of the modern art pioneers, Salvador Dali. At 3:03, he is referencing the film 2001 a Space Odysey. At 3:15, he is referencing the film Dr. Strangelove. This is an incredible song and video, going out of the average k-pop music video bounds. Great job T.O.P!
Great explanation. It totally fits with TOP considering how much he loves classics from books to music and films :) Reason why the song and video made so much attention without the need of promotions :D
Thank you so much for that explanation. Initially as a hip hop fan I was drawn to his voice, syncopation and flow. Which is AWESOME! But now that the visuals have been explained, he just gained himself an American fan. I really need to learn Korean lol
This is truly a beautiful examination, but I heard two different things, and/or interpreted something different. I thought & heard that "Doom Da Da" was referring to the public itself. This clicked to me since after he repeats "Doom Da Da Divi Da" he shouts "march," which feels like he's trying to mention how the society is just marching along with what they see in the mass media. Also, about the modern art, you did say T.O.P is trying to include himself with art itself, but when that painting is shown he sings "I'm a 21st century (modern) Korean." In this scene "T.O.P was dressed in a modern way, and even showed a modern brand. Your examination is wonderful, and shows how this song isn't just a mindless beat. T.O.P is showing how he embraces and feels about this culture and the past. How it is controlling people, and how it affects him in a way!
@@kingsejong5983 yeah, he broke Korean law but he took all responsibilities according to Korean laws. What you want more from him? You are just a hater. Shame on you. We ( international fans) can forgive and give him second chance to new life, you ( Korean fans) want to kill other career till the end. What a low attitude of you? He (TOP) never hurt to anyone.
Thanks for this comment, just wanted to write that. It think this is one of the best tracks, and MVs, in K-pop. I am amazed how they planned harmonics on simple syllables in the chorus. Featured this track in my 2014 thesis. Interesting that the groups of that time mostly vanished and trends developed differently that I've been predicting.
His rap is way faster than my internet connection

Dada is from Dadaism, a satirical art movement formed in negative reaction to the horrors of WWI. Doom is synonymous with destruction. The nuclear bomb, apes, and skeletons symbolize the extinction of humankind. It's a metaphor for how the world [mass media] tries to destroy a person's individuality, but their art will be preserved and used to inspire future generations (the apes discover a mic = T.O.P's music). The giant baby is the innocence of his artistic integrity. IDK the lyrics but this was my interpretation of the MV!

Also the only one of the most popular rappers in Korea who never got dissed by other artists ever. Korean rappers LOVE TO DISS other artists but GD, TOP are untouchable. Like Tablo, San-E, 1llionaire, Jay Park, even popular idol rappers get flak but nobody dare screw GD and TOP, it’s cool how artists of all levels respect them. T.O.P especially, because GD’s name gets dragged at times for fun like when they want to be fashionable, but T.O.P never ever gets teased.
Rapper Iron dissed them
T.o.p: why have backup dancers when you can have your ancestors
Edit:thanks for all the likes
u n d e r r a t e d
I literally LOLed
T.o.p admits he has a strange personality so the music video fits so well with how he is and I dig it!
At first I was really confused by the video, but after following TOP on Instagram I realized how creative he really is. This video is actual art.
S P E C I A L S N O W F L A K E This video is based on Art called DADA
Its called the Dadaism
2:51 is some of the sickest speed rapping I've ever heard. T.O.P is so underrated
That and a rapper with a deep voice ❤
TOP is the finest man ever.

Truth
T.O.P is literally at the TOP of his game as a rapper, musician, artist, actor, lyricist, composer and producer!! Love this man!
Finally someone who write T.O.P and not TOP
@@lecampagnardfandestarwars5597 Yes, lol. I think we(VIPs) tend to get lazy with out periods sometimes(myself included). But he is most definitely Mr. T.O.P
Sabah Sen I’m Mr. T.O.P., my love bling bling like LED!!! (sorry I had to haha)
@@gothymcthotty8192 LOL don't worry about controlling yourself. BB and T.O.P never do! Out of control is half the fun!
and dancer, let's not forget
The first show TOP does in 2019 needs to have this song as the opener. As soon as he says LONG TIME NO SEE the place will E X P L O D E
True
*E X P L O D E*
OMG
u got it exactly right - E X P L O D E
I will crying...and scream 'yess in deed been missing you TOoooppppp'...in case in their future concert you heard that scream in the crowd , it's must be me 🙋

Wrong place good sir
Sebastian Michaelis same.

Half of me feels like this video has a deeper meaning to it, and the other half of me is too distracted by T.O.P's face to try and figure out what that meaning is.
Someone actually dissected the video and it has tons of art and science references in it. Mostly art. Apparently T.O.P. is a big art fan.
Dana Williams Please direct me to where I can find this person's explanation of the video lol. I'm sure it had some science references in it, especially with the primates being in it and all I was sensing a kind of evolution sense from it.
Philana Fraser I'm thinking it meant the evolution of music.
That sounds even cooler :) Angel Radke
I'm totally on this boat here.
He's the only one who can make "weird" look so "cool"
this ain't weird, he's referencing cinema all along (mostly movies by Stanley Kubrick tbh)
Oppa,, happy 18th debut. I miss you so bad, may we can see you sing again. ❤
*TOP'S HANDSOME FACE, UNIQUE TASTE AND STYLE, AND INTELLECTUAL MIND ARE OVERALL MINDBLOWING. HE IS UNREACHABLE.*
♡
Seunghyun is one of the best rappers I've seen in the kpop community, Not only because of his Amazing rap skills but also because of his uniqueness and his love for art. He always stood out to me even when i watched their mv's for the first time, he has such a strong voice and his whole style/vibe just draws me in, I always look forward to his parts in their songs he also has amazing stage presence that i haven't seen in anyone ever. My first impression of him was that he's weird and just intimidating (which i liked ig) but when i got to know him i realised that he's the biggest sweetheart still weird but in a good way his weirdness is what makes him unique.
Love you T.O.P, I will wait for you until whenever.
He is amazing!!
I'm 200% agree with you 🔝🔝🔝 👏👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
He is funny and silly guy actually 😂 lol
I cant wait for the day that Seunghyun comes back. When he says Doom Dada the ground will shake and all haters will fall silent and i will be slayed. #TheKingWillNeverDie
@Yoongi /Army He'll be done next year June 30th. If you mean comeback as in music, we have no idea. The dude debuted in 2006 and have only 2 solo songs (that aren't part of BIGBANG albums). We know better than to keep asking him, he'll do it when he feels ready. He just doesn't like promoting alone.
I want his bitch ex-gf to fall and be slain first. The stupid woman wants to stop TOP on coming back, blackmailing him with stuff. She's so bitter because even TOP made a mistake, VIPs are willing to forgive him and support him while she, fortunately, will not have a chance to debut as an artist.
Who’s here in 2024. This still slaps. 💥

Hey I just did a cover on this song....would be so obliged if you do check it out.
I'm so glad we didn't lose him.

Director : so T.O.P,how many random concept and Visual Effect you want in you MV?
T.O.P : yes
I actually not random. Is exploring philosophical concept of dadaisem which is child like mockery of current system and the video is really smart actually. You just have to be well read
@@katarinam2145 the way it's assembled comes off as random though. It deliberately looks strange and wild, hiding a deeper meaning.
The start/Apes seems to be referencing 2001:A Space Odyssey
i'm here for T.O.P ❤ love BIG BANG 👑👑👑👑👑
I'm so so worried about him, he seems really sad lately and has said explicitly that he isn't okay. We as V.I.Ps need to do everything we can to support him and whatever decisions he may make. The number of Korean idols' deaths influenced by similar situations has been increasing frighteningly recently, and we need to make sure he is okay. We love you, T.O.P!
You are wonderful T.O.P !!
Sorry for my English, I'm french 😓
But i love you ❤❤❤❤❤
@@clfdclementine5215 your english is good, we support him!
@@honhonhonbaguettes Thank you ! And yes ! VIP's are always for T.O.P ! And fore G-Dragon, and for Seungri, and for Daesung and for Taeyang !!
VIP forever ❤❤❤❤❤
@@clfdclementine5215 I will always be here for T.O.P, GD, Daesung, and Taeyang. I have a fear that I cannot trust Seungri, but I will always support him if he truly is innocent. I don't believe he deserves the hate he has gotten, even if he did have something to do with these things.
@@honhonhonbaguettes Yes, he did things, but he was found innocent many times. I support him until he is proven guilty.
u can really tell how top likes art. post-modern art, dadaism, surrealism. his vision as an artists is deep as well as clear.

God, I always know that T.O.P is handsome but this video really fuckin' highlights it
Even though there's so much freaky shit going on in the background all I can focus on is his face and the way his eyes are focused on the camera completely. He's so damn fine this isn't f a i r
♡
When TOP'S voice is lower than your grades
Hahaha lol for sure
🤣🤣..youre right
Indeed
Litterally like: when top's voice is lower than your height
Woah
T.O.P is the big brother who shows his dongsangs how to remain young at heart but still be a good responsible man.
exactly! Our Oppa is admirable!
Ribbit Hyung you are right! TOP Hyung is a good role model.
This Noona agrees, TOP is a good man!
Thats uri T.O.P 🤩😍

Rap also dont forget
- and t a l e n t
These are the types of releases that should represent K-music, to be honest. Well done T.O.P.
Till this day, I still wonder why TOP don't release an album but then I realized. we are not ready for TOP beast mode album .
+Jennie Lao AH! O A O; so that's it..
Ohmygosh XD BEAST MODE?! You made me laugh so hard with this hahaha I definitely wouldn't be ready for it. I would have to listen to one song a day.
lol if you think we're not ready for a TOP beast mode album
just think about what would happen if there was a Hip Hop Gentlemen Part 2
I think we might all literally die
just imagine GDxTOPxDOUBLE BxDOUBLE DxCL
This is my fav k-rap song of all time
I think TOP is the only person who looks so cool anywhere and always - doing nothing: just standing. Others do many efforts: dance, try to show emotions and give feelings to the audience, try to be cute, etc, but cannot be as cool as TOP. I love the way he behaves. Respect.
Yesssss... Even he acts like bin gu, he still looks sexy! I was wondering if i am the only person who feels this way :) but nope, im not alone :D
Even tho YB is my bias, I totally agree with ur opinion!
He looks like a sex god just standing there is that even legal? No. TOP STHAP
I totally agree.
Иә, дәл айттың, Назерке! Мен сенимен толықтай келісемін!
TOP: instead of backup dancers, I want Apes
YG: please take the backup dancers!!! Please!
So he got both
YG: how many apes do you want?
TOP: *yes*
Accurate lmao
TOP: also I want a baby with huge head.. who will cry the whole time
YG: ...
TOP: and I'm also gonna take him to MAMA before it flops
I feel like this was a mix of an Old Spice commercial and bad acid trip.
I still love it.
Sounds more like a general dicription of TOP
진짜 어지러운데 개좋음
Still one of the best rappers in the whole kpop industry
The best
for damn sure 💋🖤🔥🔥🔥
I mean is good but not better than Jay Park
@@zaab-yaoh9302 jay's good but he's not the best

Can we just straight up talk about how sexy he is? I mean c'mon..... You gotta admit he’s hella fine and always will be. That deep voice and rapping of his gets me everytime
Yep 😍
+Kim Jinwoo hey im a male and i wanna no what makes this guy sexy, if yall can kindly explain ill be happy also I'm male thnx
jawline, killer stare, looks good in eyeliner, deep voice, talented.... the list goes on. Also he doesn't show his body very often which probs makes people more interested, kind of like the idea behind playing hard to get
+Jerry Greene back to what they said ^he's mysterious and he leaves things to the imagination which draws interest :)
His check bones tho !! He's not even my fav from bigbang its GD but he's pretty good looking and if i like him my friend will eat me so

I miss the fans that would have in depth conversations about the song and mv and talk about things that they liked. Nowadays people just say things like mentioning looks, bringing other groups down, and making jokes or stupid comments to get likes
Top is so gorgeous *I can't-*
Cole ikr? Especially when he changed his hair. 😍😍😍
We were so lucky back then witnessing the real kpop, today's kpop doesn't feel the same

Great to see an Indian VIP 😁

U do know that he as another name when YG family era gave it to him . Daesung said it in family outing bingu TOP . Since than I Guess he start to show his real self . Even psy said it once TOP was in psy’s house playing his children’s slide .

Only Tabi.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Omg why does he look so good in contact lenses!?!?
right?!?! he looks amazing in them!
because he has slim eyes
^ nope. Its because the make-up artists always try to make his eyes look as scary and eye-catching as possible. Its his signature look.
^. yes and it looks better than anyone else because of his eye shape.
TI Pilot yes, his eye shape is gorgeous
None of the members of Big Bang are helping me chose a Bias in this group... THEY ARE ALL SO DAMN TALENTED AND HANDSOME ASF...WHY?!?!?!
@Miloness_swerve It was hard for me too to choose a bias. It is TOP now but the others are so handsome and talented
I know right?! I have this 'problem' too -3-
BIGBANG is a group, why would you have favourite one? They are one and they will always be. Sorry but having bias is the stupidest thing ever :)
because they are the kings
so simple
@Miloness_swerve I choose taeyang because of his humbleness, 🙏 style, 😎 hot af, 🔥💪🔥hilarious, 😂, hardworking 💭 , personality 😆 and he's like a teddy bear around kids, 🐻 this is why I love youngbae, and who can forget his eye smile 😄💜💋
but tbh I love all of them, they are all unique (especially bingu top 😂😏😵) I feel bad saying this on t.o.p's MV 😅 (I still love u tho 😘)
Great actor and great rapper! Can't wait to see TOP in Squid Game 2.

Here to support our Choi Seunghyun ❤ I don't care that you tried a little weed because you weren't doing that to hurt other people. I will always continue my support for every individual in BIGBANG! ❤
HERE'S AN EXPLAINATION ON THE VIDEO! :
Doom Dada is a reference to Dadaism, a form of fine art. Doom Dada means that the end of art (music in this case) is coming, due to the fact that most everyone cares about money. Now, onto the video, which references many influential films and artists. At about 0:53 we see T.O.P with a eyepatch-like object covering his eye, referencing the film The Leper. At 1:06 we see the skeletons moving, referencing the Zootrope, the first way animation came to be. At 1:38 we see a large painting made by Kim Whanki (one of the first modern artists) In the painting is a deer, which we see a real one interacting with T.O.P, meaning he is trying to connect himself to important artists. At 2:02 it is referencing the Blair Witch Project, one of the first modern horror films. At 2:14 we see a large headed baby, referencing the film Brazil. At 2:53, T.O.P is referencing not only the film the Cabinet of Dr Caligori, but his handlebar mustache is also referencing one of the modern art pioneers, Salvador Dali. At 3:03, he is referencing the film 2001 a Space Odysey. At 3:15, he is referencing the film Dr. Strangelove. This is an incredible song and video, going out of the average k-pop music video bounds. Great job T.O.P!
Great explanation. It totally fits with TOP considering how much he loves classics from books to music and films :)
Reason why the song and video made so much attention without the need of promotions :D
***** I think they just did some research, or watched eatyourkimchi's review of it
I now respect this song more than how I respected this before. T.O.P is such an amazing artist *nods head, applauses*
Thank you so much for that explanation. Initially as a hip hop fan I was drawn to his voice, syncopation and flow. Which is AWESOME! But now that the visuals have been explained, he just gained himself an American fan. I really need to learn Korean lol
This is truly a beautiful examination, but I heard two different things, and/or interpreted something different. I thought & heard that "Doom Da Da" was referring to the public itself. This clicked to me since after he repeats "Doom Da Da Divi Da" he shouts "march," which feels like he's trying to mention how the society is just marching along with what they see in the mass media.
Also, about the modern art, you did say T.O.P is trying to include himself with art itself, but when that painting is shown he sings "I'm a 21st century (modern) Korean." In this scene "T.O.P was dressed in a modern way, and even showed a modern brand.
Your examination is wonderful, and shows how this song isn't just a mindless beat. T.O.P is showing how he embraces and feels about this culture and the past. How it is controlling people, and how it affects him in a way!
This song is so underrated!! And is a masterpiece of art! VIPS LETS SHOW HIM OUR LOVE!!

Thanks for this comment, just wanted to write that. It think this is one of the best tracks, and MVs, in K-pop. I am amazed how they planned harmonics on simple syllables in the chorus. Featured this track in my 2014 thesis. Interesting that the groups of that time mostly vanished and trends developed differently that I've been predicting.
