Tablo - Dear TV _ 해열 (with lyrics)

[francin200]

This song is a satire of media in both Korea and even america. The very last line hit me the hardest! I really don't understand why people doubted his degree in Stanford! He's a freakin' genius!!!

[foodisgooood]

his vocabulary is really..... LOL

he's amazing.

[animegreen11]

KONY 2012

[TeddyCupCake]

TABLO YOU ARE THE GENINUS SHIT!

[JessieSteamless]

If he released an all English album I think I'd die. Fucking Tablo man, he a genius.

[MultiFarhiya]

Geffenize and Nirvana, i see what he did there:)

[SheWumbo]

the lyrics made me go wow

[sushi19970]

My fave part is "Don't act like you know me 'cause you recognize me.

You sell my record not me."

[TheSomething112]

OMFG HE KNOWS MORE ENGLISH THEN ME! AND ENGLISH IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE.

[amgar09]

@TheSomething112 it's pretty much his first language too, he went to school in the US.

[BlueTurtleBoy]

Love his reference to Geffen and Nirvana. Damn, lyrical skills be legit, yo.

[jewelzdany1]

anyone else had to google half these words? btw anyone know what geffenize means?

[sws212]

@jewelzdany1 Not a real word, geffenize refers to Geffen records who managed Nirvana (Band). When Nirvana joined them, the company basically changed their entire image into something the company wanted. Basically Tablo wanted to rip on the media's way of doing whatever they can to see what they want to see (plus call Nirvana a bunch of sell-outs ;p ) 

[jihyunwiz]

this deserves more views. so powerful.

[chiidoris]

awesome music is awesome.

[meresa14]

this is true music

[ahmega]

tablo knows what he's talkin about. who else knows?

[BBCEmily]

Wow. I'm Canadian... and a Korean has better vocabulary than me? xDD Haha. Tablo is so awesome.

[SujetTrois]

@BBCEmily Haha, actually he's Canadian as well. He moved to Canada when he was 8 and lived here for several years.

[adhh85278527]

I want tablo to have a rap battle against eminem

[AznB3ast]

@adhh85278527 Tablo hands down~

[kaydrienne]

@adhh85278527 eminem would be curing all over the place. Tablo would use intense ass vocabulary. both would be clever as hell. :)

[kaydrienne]

@kaydrienne cursing******

[11lovekpop]

the lyrics right there just crushed eminem !

eminem is close to perfection

tablo is P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N ! <3

[xcounterx100]

lyrical monster

[jaeyoon0623]

theshaz23 I disagree. Aphrodisiac does mean intensifying sexual desire in my opinion because in the next line he says "turn me on", which can mean literally turn on the TV or feeling sexual desire.. either way he is a FXXing genius

[AshiaAsia]

So little lyrics but mean so much...been playing this song all week...u go Tablo

[LanNhii]

Genious! Love his lyrics! Tablo, you are a godess! <3

[britishinvasion099]

@LanNhii a godess is a girl

[LanNhii]

@britishinvasion099 x'D that's how bad my english is. lol. my grades are going down x')

[SoStupidInLove]

lyrical genius.

[catar6]

you sell my record not me!

TABLO <3

[bbkpop4life]

True mastermind!

[nicoco183]

amazing

[mstyleism]

the best lyric writer i know. 

[MrChineseSecrets]

Check out my cover. <3

[molina00able]

He rapped very little, yet he made a huge impact. That's the power of Tablo.

[AnzPhiPenguin14]

He sounds like an Asian Eminem!

[GoiinRushiiKim]

@AnzPhiPenguin14 I thought that too when I was listening to that. :D 8]

[princesshanaka]

@AnzPhiPenguin14 I thought so, too... I love both of them :)

[gnabgibsipiv]

2 dislikes?

TABLO! sarangahe^^

[yomaira23]

[MegaVampirebella]

astig!!!!

[GloomProduction]

Stanford bound rapper right hurr

[darrenlau2000]

can someone explain the meaning of those hard words??

[TheNguyenboi]

@darrenlau2000 If you ever read Fahrenheit 451, it's sorta like that.

[TheLove2ne1]

GOD!!! This guy is a GENIUS!! The lyrics are just WOW <33 o.O

[newBombable]

this line of the song "I'm lookin' for nirvana but you geffenize me."

Nirvana, it means heaven, but also the name of band group "Nirvana"

and the 'Geffen Record' is the company that 'geffenize' 'Nirvana'

[aznxstar6]

why does the beginning have to be so long LOL. I want more of Tablo's voice.

[midnightsun111493]

WOW tablo is awesome. "Don't act like you know me 'cause you recognize me.

You sell my record not me."

[beastlybigbang]

1 dislike doesn`t have TV

[iamsophy1]

@beastlybigbang LYRA!

[junsulover23]

TABLO !!!! AMAZING! :D

[HoneyB288]

Oh my sweet goodness. He just gets better and better. Freaking tablo...you are amazing.

[Rumplenochio]

To summarize it, the lyrics make me think twice

[xBelieveInYourDreams]

THIS SONG IS REALLY ORIGINAL.. it's an beautiful come back !!

[theshaz23]

Guys aphrodisiac in this song DOES not mean intensifying sexual desire -.- , If you put that meaning and that line together YOU GET NOTHING , It actually means , This world is a drug in which intensifies sexual desire for tha TV (Whom he actually imagines as a person) , Fucking Amazing lyrics by Tablo.

[TrobinT]

I love Tablo! I literally had to look up most of the words in his lyric to understand what they meant. The dude is lyrically mastered, as well I love Epik High!

[iRockU96]

i can't stop replaying this song. it's only 16 lines, but in each one, so much emotion is contained. i love tablo's ability to make you feel the words, even if you can't understand them. a musical genius he is.

[longdarie517]

The world is your aphrodisiac so you stay turned on

[dualeh85]

this guy just transcended music 

[superninjadinosaur10]

tablo is just so amazing :p



[124number]

you sell my record not me.

[minoz015]

Desensitize - Make (someone) less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images.

Genocide-the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

Aphrodisiac- arousing sexual desire.

Incessant- continuing without interruption

Anoint- to rub or sprinkle on

I feel dumb for not knowing what all these words mean.

[forgottenat15]

@minoz015 Anoint: to appoint something as in by birth or right of passage kinda like giving a burden. Dont worry i had to look it up too and it had two meanings but i think this one makes more sense

[insomniawheesung]

@minoz015 you really didnt?

oh wow

[MrJay4091]

i think that he is trying to say that the media is just getting bigger and it will never stop growing .And advertisements and such are just causing greed and unhappiness. And they are all starting to show people (celebrities) as someone they're not(someone worse). And he wants to be known for who he is and not someone else. and then he's saying that he will stay strong ,be who he is and never give up and fall into the media's trap.

[Boshokai]

woa he nailed it o.o

[optimusbeat]

the lyrics are so freakiing awesome!!!!! TABLO IS DEFINITELY A GENIUS!!!! 

[thepinkspider1]

Tablo murdered it in 16 lines

[BigBang913Lover]

The song is so deep!!! Every word describes how he felt and what he went through. And dang! He used such big words. I bet even American rappers can't beat this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pk102938]

I had to use a dictionary a LOT to understand this song....but WOW amazing lyrics!

[kiba91096]

Killed that junk man...in a good way

[KitAisuru]

*Will be using this song as a teaching point for her class*

[Afiqah243]

lol i could barely understand the lyrics of this song although i do understand english wayyyyyyyyyy better than korean. had to google the meaning. now do ppl still doubting him? i know i never doubt him and this just prove my incessant support 

[missechah]

my gawd ! this guy is a lyrical genius . fuck those netizen who doubted him !

[BboyCalledJP]

just killed every anitfans and fake news reporters out there with the words, "Don't act like you me ' cause you recognize me. You sell my record, not me."

[xSoratifa]

all hail the King of words, lyrical assassin. Tablo

[animelover1210]

Dear TV, desensitize me. Gimme more genocide, please. The world is your aphrodisiac, so you stay turned on every minute, every second I breathe

[salvadoreanbeaver101]
