and I’m hysterically laughing. For an interview with The Star, Kara’s rapper Nicole said that 2NE1’s CL is her biggest competitor in the KPOP game. She went on to say that CL’s stage presence, powerful moves, and strong voice impressed and moved her. I mean, come on, there is no one in the KPOP world that compares to CL right now and I strongly mean this when I say, there is simply no comparison between the two.
CL rapping:
So to Nicole, you’re right, CL is every female emcee’s competition in KPOP.
Rapping wise Tasha got them both beat but idol wise CL be the shizz.
CL is dope
nobody can touch her
unlike other rappers in girl groups
cl has the swag
you cant fake that
THIS IS OLD NEWS! URGH, get over it already.
LMAO! CL is the NOT the be all and end all of Korean female rappers.
I’m still LMAO! As much as you think Nicole rapping next to CL is laughable, I think Cl rapping next to Yoon Mi Rae is even more ridiculous and embarrassingly funny.
Rapping put aside, who’s more likable between CL and Nicole? Nicole! She’s pretty much the only likable thing about Kara.
i pretty sure the author didnt mean that cl is the best korean rapper she said she cant be compared which i think its true i actually dont think cl rapping is laughable compared to tasha but i do think tasha owns in all aspects but thats just my own personal opinion . But if were talking about idol rappers cl pretty much own most girls and some of the boys. i also find cl very likeable watching 2ne1 tv. Nicole is sweet i think she just said that because her and cl are actually close friends.
I think it was sweet of Nicole to say CL is her competition. It’s a big compliment. I adore both of them!
*butthurtfanalert* chile *butthurtfanalert* chile *butthurtfanalert* chile *butthurtfanalert* Since when was like a likability poll between these two? Since I could last remember it was about who was the better rapper between CL and Nicole..
I’m all out 2NE1 so CL for the win baby!that’s right…a go go go!
I agree! As far a female rapping that’s out now CL pawns them all.
sorry but Miryo PWNS CL ^^ i like CL, too, though =D

Haha. No wayyyyy.
CL is not the best rapper, however she *is* one of the best female rappers currently invovled with K-Pop. The rest are just fluff. Now Tasha, that’s a different story.
@ LIsa:
Of course it’s oging to be old…
- SBs was down for quite some time
- I’m assumign they have to trnaslate it
- They are searching for KPOP related articles
- They have a life
- They live in NYC not Korea.
I always get peeved whenever ppl get atttitudes with authors for reporting “old” news. Ever heard of the syaing “don’t bit the hand that feeds you?”
If you are uptodate on all this stuff, please, start a site. But osme of us havent heard of it.
Ummm sorry for being such a n00b >_< but who’s Tasha / from what group??
miryo kills! >;D
Love love LOVE CL. The only other new female rapper I like is E. Via, though I think CL has greater stage presence.
I have to disagree that there is noone that compares to CL in regards to rapping out of the idol groups because Miryo from BEG is as talented as CL in my opinion and probably her biggest competition in the idol girl rappers. However I have to give CL her props because not only is that girl a great rapper, she is also a pretty decent singer, something I unfortunately cannot say about Miryo. So as far as being both a talented singer AND rapper then yes, no one in the idol kpop world that is ACTIVE right now can compare. I mean don’t get me wrong Tasha’s ability in both rapping and singing has both of these girls beat, but since she isn’t active (besides featuring on her hubby’s song )at the moment I will not include her in this comparison. Now if Tasha/T released a new album, that would be a whole other story.
wwell yeah i love nicole and all, she’s the only reason i watch kara stuff. but rapping wise, she definitely cannot compare to CL.
i’ve been listening to BEG since they debuted, and the rapper is seriously good. but i don’t know too much about korean female rappers, so there’s probably better ones. nevertheless she is amazing for idol standards.
CL is alright. she’s got swagger. but at the end of the day when you’re trained to be a carbon copy of someone else, can’t really give much credit there. :/
E.via can wipe her dirty boots on all that rap girls combined.
And I’m sure Nicole just made a compliment, because she is one of the worst rappers out there (but, oh my, she is so pretty and sweet!)
miryo is good. but yes, i think tasha is a better rapper cum singer.
CL is overall a good performer. A lot of stage presence and she is younger than her competition. so. okay, except for nicole.
this is a horrible article you guys and…I say that with all te love in the world in my heart. I mean, seriously, Nicole obviously said that KNOWING CL is amazing. You guys don’t have to be tasteless by rubbing it her face when she already knows!
Nicole just proved how dumb she really is!
CL and Tasha anyday~ :)
Obviously she isn’t saying that she’s neck and neck in talent with CL, she’s just saying that CL is big competition. CL is big competition for anyone. You’re becoming just as bad as ShenYuePop with this assuming shit that makes you look like an ignorant anti.
nicole’s rap S-U-C-K-S
Completely agree with Ellie.
CL is way out of Nicole’s league (rapping wise)
well, miryo plays the guitar, too =) and maybe other instruments as well, not sure…

@xenia: i was thinking the same thing!! when i saw a live vid of e.via rapping, i was like, this girl is the truth! she has AMAZING skills and would own ANY female rapper and could hold her own with the boys!
As if either could hold a candle to Tasha.
I mean come on, we all know Teddy is writing for CL.
2ne1 is average and kara shouldn’t even be singers.
