Yes - they all went through their own journey and difficulties as a group, but what happened to Tablo was so brutal and outrageous, it's impact on Tablo as an individual artist, the group as a whole and all their music that they made since then has been massively impacted by that event and the fall out from it. After years of hard work as independent artists, they were making huge headway, public recognition, lots of appearances on big name programs, their label under Woolim, they were becoming big stars in Korea and then it all disappeared overnight because some no name Korean living in America decided there was no way a rapper like Tablo could have these phenomenal acadamic credentials (a bachelor's and master's degree from Stanford in only 4 years). Suddenly there were hordes of jealous angry people on a witch hunt for Tablo (including his own cousin) and they destroyed his career and threatened his family. It was a wild and scary time.

Media and "fans" swing on a pendulum - you are either *The IDOL* or *trash* ... incredibly brutal, hurtful and soul destroying. No surprising that there is so much seen and hidden mental anx and anguish. Maybe I'm reaching here but Eastern idols appear to have it a ton harder than their Western counterparts. Across the board, it is heartwrenching and somehow this _pressure and expectations_ need to be de-escalated! Great discussion Roscoe

During that time, the crazy haters came to Tablo’s parent’s home and work places and call 24/7 to curse them. And his dad was fighting with cancer at that time and eventually passed away. So it was enormously traumatic era for Tablo. This is Epik High’s Korean fan for 19 years and I’m glad you did reaction to Epik High and sEODo band!

Boracity featured his story on a recent video essay ❤️‍🔥

[@astrogranoff]

@@anitralarae_mahjacatYou can also listen to Tablo talk about the incident in his own words on the “Authentic: The Story of Tablo” podcast series by Vice and the iHeartPodcasts Network.

When Epik High’s We’ve Done Something Wonderful album came out it was on repeat for me.

[@CRNK824]

Yes! Epik High has been around forever for a reason. I remember them having a rough time and am so glad they are back strong. Going to see them in DC in September.

[@HyperactiveSloth79]

This was awesome! ...I mean, that was DOPE! 😆
I really enjoyed it. I'm always a fan of a good lyricist, especially in rap, and I seriously loved the proper old school video. Totally killer!

[@aler7152]

The part that Tablo said "you dont know anything about me shut up: is from an interview from buzzfeed bff test [ link: czcams.com/video/-YjhS4mNjiA/video.htmlsi=4bbotPV8cG2xft6U ] and the beginning of the song is a sample of a song of Tablo's from their album Epik High is Here part 1 song called Lesson Zero [so they are using a lot of their own samples into the songs like Easter eggs for fans(high skool) )

[@Melissa-t5g]

The early 90s comparison is on point. Every time I listen to Epik High, I end up going to listen to A Tribe Called Quest after. Tablo's flow reminds me so much of Q-Tip.

[@1oldcrow350]

Yeah as he alluded to with Yoongi he went through it (all three of them really) and backed away for awhile. I have been aware of these guys for awhile because of BTS and their admiration of them. And yes they always come with the fire and truth.

[@Kookietaetan]

I can't believe no one in the couch crew told you to watch Suchwita episode featuring Tablo, you have to watch that
Checked with couch crew and Roscoe did react to this episode, Thank you Vasha for checking and letting me know

[@kapoyani3498]

Seen epik high before then pummeled by the ridiculous cult, got back in and with yg too then highground then on their own. They been awesome and still are.

[@JoonJoon92]

I'm so excited.... Namjoon put me onto Epik High when he posted on insta about their release Rosario, I've been hooked ever since.... They're so good

[@valentinainsulza7183]

when you realice they are talking about antis and the mayority on 4th and 5th gen idols

[@spectral__]

If you really want to know about Tablo's life, he's written 2-3 books that are all available in English. His wife is also amazing for standing by him when everyone was against him. I think "Map the Soul" is about her, but I could be wrong. There's an English version of the song/MV you should react to if you haven't.

[@Lunaveon]

Been binging all your reactions lately - something about your personality and how you look at the videos really keeps me hooked haha. I might have to go over to twitch and see if I can donate or something to get you to react to Pentagon's Basquiat - I'm surprised someone else hasn't already, I always thought it was directed in a really interesting way, but I also don't know shit about directing lol

[@ki-hunlee3132]

I like epic high’s more poetic songs you know, songs without hatred or anything like that.
Hope you try those sometime. full of 90-00 vibes of course.
And now typing all this, I noticed the songs I like were made before Tablo’s traumatizing false accusation.
Well, shit. That poor guy..

[@joa3396]

@roscoe Hello, I know you like Faouzia, 😊 I want to let you know that she is in a competition in China right now that is called SINGER 2024 and it would be great if you react to her presentations. 🥰 Here is the list in order by episode:
