Jason’s rant was perfect. His point about it being sometimes harder to appeal to millions as opposed to appealing to a smaller audience of critical thinkers is so true. Simple and catchy does not mean bad, as different music serves different purposes
@wirdqoingqydink

Yeah I agree, that was so appropriate, and since they mentioned the "intricacies of music" which arguably is a natural characteristic of classical compositions, the way Blacklabel producers composed this piece is their way of intricate. Everybody's reaction was really fun to watch.

I'd thought the same thing and when I realized Jason was going to say that I freaked out--I feel like it's something reactors/reviewers/critics rarely keep in mind. While intricacy or complexity is not bad per se, it's not always good either. A song like this is trying to do something very different than a classical piece like La Campanella, and they both do what they are meant to do very well.

@SonderDAze X if it's easier to appeal to a mass audience, why do big name artists often fail to put out another huge hit? why do so many fairly well known artists with all the resources in the world so often fail to really hit it big? creating something that cements itself into the public consciousness is incredibly difficult. sometimes artists get lucky and there is a degree of "right time right place" involved, but to consistently achieve that level of popular appeal is not a simple task.

At first I was also a bit disappointed, because not so long ago we had Feel my rhythm. But then I realized that they just made it true to YG label, which is more about swag and hip-hop than about music theory intricacies. There was a time when the songs in rapsody genre were popular: they were exactly a short looped piece from classics and a rap over it. Makes sense that they've chosen this approach. I love the comment about comparison to Paganini! Didn't think about it at all, but I remember some people compared him to popular musicians: the way the pieces were more understandable to ordinary people, the way he toured. Thank you for the analysis! You guys become better and better. And the editing adds a lot of fun and clarity.

Shut Down is a tooootally different thing than Feel my rhythm - and sadly that some ppl always tend to COMPARE to the the 1st example of something they heard which is kind of WRONG, cause other things can be quite different even if using the same or simmilar idea. If it's about comparing with other k-pop songs made with sampling classical pieces, it would be Cherry Bullet - Hands Up which sampled Fur Elise, the closest one, most simmilar in terms of vibe and choice of piece and mixing. Now> 1) Shut Down is supposed to be Dancy / Catchy / Repeat ON song, with the vibe ''I wanna jump to it all day and feel badass". For such songs u can't use many sections of one calssical piece, if sampling, since the vibe will be lost and song can become draggy losing it's purpose. 2) it's HIP HOP based song, while Feel my rhythm was opposite. Shut Down just made most amazing thing - bringing together very well blended Hip Hop vibe, Glamorous fire on of a classical piece like La Campanellea, and k-pop feel which totally could be felt here (and probably because> 1) composers/producers were Korean artists only, 2) Korean lyrics were as much important as English parts). 3) IDEA - this time idea was using just a motif, and even - part of a motif, actually! But how to use it to not be boring? yea loop. but not enough. So what's done here? It is the right choice of cut in the motif which will be used, well blended with key change for a half tone to point out macabre savage feel - what concept of song and lyrics suggests. Not only that the cut was done at the right time, but after putting loop it kinda drives you wanting to hear it more and more time - why? you EXPECT RESOLUTIONN - which comes finally before chorus. 4) rhythm + meter! - yeah they slowed it down a bit to fit lyrics, and it did win the vibe. 6/8 is hard actually to make into a pop song and especially into a upbeat badass catchy dansy and darky song. Slowing down 6/8 It made the motif even more stand out crossing with hip-hop korean style tune. 5) ACCENTS! - this is now rlly interesting. Cause actually well choice of words from Korean and English made it like lyrics flowing with the beat, it felt like it came of with those strong accents on every 3rd point of 6/8. And words chosen have similarity with ends and starts - it is like blend of sound of words in both languages. 6) use of sound effects layers etc - done without overdoing whole sound image. Even highest tones in instrumental werent killing ears. Violin was on point cause the sound depicts like recorded LIVE sound. 7) interesting work on background sound - despite motif repetition all the time, you can hear use of various violin techniques (pizzicato effect, ricoshe, etc) 8) image of popularity but badass and devilishnes - Paganini was popular star at his era, and he was loved as much as he was despised and cursed. He was made for entertainment and touring, much more maybe than Liszt - as one popular star back then too, in field of piano. Blackpink kinda relates to it. Also / when we say classical music we actually forget that it was popular music before / only after romanticism started to be divided into high class art music cutting ties with popular music. 9) I have much more to say about Shut Down and it's unique quality, but i rlly don't have time, maybe later I'll edit comment since this was written in hurry ... have a nice day~ and enjoy SHUT DOWn

YESSSS, YG always like to keep it clean and straight-forward with their instrumentals. That's just their brand. SM is the most experimental one, and that is their musical branding. I think Shut Down being a little different to their other tracks is the statement itself. And that's why, in a musical standpoint, it'd really look like there is really nothing much to it. It really is simple compared to the other titles and they actually did not have a switch-up moment in here, which they are known for. Heck, they don't even have a bombastic outro on this one.

if we are comparing these two songs, that sampling a classical song (feel my rhythm and shutdown, love both of them btw), feel the rhythm is more like building the song around bach's, they really understood the score, and let every part of it shines through the song. whereas shutdown is more like let the paganini score accompany and highlight the song itself. they just do the song in different way, according to their group's sound and identity

It's not accurate to say Blackpink did it worse than Red Velvet (I'm aware you didn't say that) because they're so different musically. Rap music in general use consistent beats that repeat themselves overwhelmingly with slight beat changes, contrary to Feel My Rhythm having this mature and soft in nature type of song, its not rap after rap, just some really cool vocal song.

@@persephonevids Because blackpink is sadly held to a higher standard than other (girl) groups. They (haters) want them to be perfect, but also not too perfect. They want BP to be musical geniuses and participants in producing their music, while knowing YG is heavily misogynistic towards their female artists AND knowing that BP does participate in some of the lyrics. They want blackpink to change things up, but when they do it's not good enough (see what happened to Pink Venom). They want things to be kept the same, but also not TOO similar or else they will call it (blank) 2.0 again. They want more songs from blackpink even though they will just hate on them anyway. They want more diversity in their songs, but also called Born Pink "non-cohesive". Whatever blackpink does, they can't win. At this point their problem isn't blackpinks music, but blackpink and the success they have.

i really like what kevin said about the classical sampling in shut down vs. feel my rhythm! they chose completely different genres, structures, and approaches to incorporating the pieces. shut down is a deliberately minimalist/stripped down track, and in that sense it uses the shorter sample very smartly with the trap/hip hop sounds(it feels very slick and clean). feel my rhythm is such a polar opposite in that they used a much larger part of the bach to include different harmonies and sections and it was generally a more maximalist approach. i don’t think either is necessarily better than the other!

Nice! Was waiting for this reaction :) I did expect most of you to not like the fact that it's a very short sample overall, it's probably not as satisfying especially for classical musicians. But I did appreciate that some of you also argued that it makes more sense, particularly as a hip-hop heavy track that's trying to appeal to a wider audience, to keep it simpler as that can audibly just sound better. As Jason pointed out, it is true that often times being complex and overly-creative can sometimes be easier than making a limited but appealing and catchy song.

Ever since Feel My Rhythm happened the bar was just set high with how the producers of that song sampled the classical piece in such a beautiful and smart way so hearing Shut Down and hearing them just use the first half of it and loop it over and over again throughout the entire song was definitely underwhelming. Nevertheless!! I still enjoyed Shut Down and I still bop to it. At this point you just can’t help but compare any songs with a sample of a classical piece to Feel My Rhythm because that song was just pure genius and lovely. Love both groups and I love both songs.

I didn't know there was a sample, but like Jason(?) said, it's catchy and it's hype. That's enough for the masses as we're not all that cultured about music history to care about how much a piece was sampled and all that.
I'm coming back to this video after going to blackpink's concert a few weeks ago and i just wanna say, hearing Shut Down performed with a live band just adds a whole different flavor to the song entirely. I would imagine if they had a live violinist to play as well it would be a mindblowing experience. Nevertheless, the live band added so much to this song that the studio version didn't quite give. The musicians mentioned it feeling stagnant and repetitive and the live band rectified that and it felt so much more dynamic. Also i agree so much that this part of the piece being sampled is for the purpose of fitting into blackpink's vibe. It's pop and hip hop and supposed to be danceable and hype. I get that classical musicians would feel that sampling such a tiny part of the piece is kind of sad because it didn't do justice to the original, but again, that's not their goal. The goal isn't to shine a light on Paganini, it's to shine a light on blackpink and i do say they succeeded in that. Anyway, i rambled on longer than i intended. Sorry!!! But as always i enjoyed the reaction very much! Thanks ❤

I love both Feel My Rhythm and Shut Down! I love RV and BP, truly. And I feel that they made use of their samples to convey the message and feel of their songs pretty successfully! FMR had a more airy, pretty, poppy feel to it. They were elegant and the focus was on the music. Whereas Shut Down is more hip-hop, which focuses more on repetitive beats, esp when accompanied by rap. It's a diss track, after all, so they wanted you to listen to the lyrics. I feel that if they used more of the piece, it would have distracted from the actual lyrics. I know I would've been too engrossed in noticing the different areas the violin went to, instead of actually listening to what they were saying 😂 so I think the repetitiveness served it's purpose to get into your head but not distract from the raps.

Disclaimer I don't know much about music at all. But when I first heard the strings I actually wondered if they were sampling a haegeum, a traditional Korean bow and string instrument. My mind went there because they had opened Pink Venom with Jisoo playing the gayageum. So I thought maybe that was a bit of a theme they were going with for the album. Obviously I was way off, but I think it would be cool to reference traditional Korean instruments in Kpop (not sure if that's been done or not).

Blackpink actually made younger people and people in general curious about classical music especially Paganini. Even though they only used a "fragment of a sentence", the song did its job. 1. Diss their haters, 2. It's catchy and hype and 3. People got curious! So no. The song is good as it is.

Lol are you even in twitter? The younger people keep on dragging down the already dead man who's in the 6th feet under the ground because they want to own the 2 bars of the piece. So no, it is not a better song if they let their fans disrespect the legends.

In the first few seconds I was also very annoyed by how they did not finish the phrase and kept repeating the same part, but not even halfway in it clicked for me and I have to say it was more clever than I initially thought. Certainly an interesting way to sample a classical piece and one of their most interesting tracks to date. Also 💯what Jason said

Teddy is a genius composer and producer. He knows how to play with sounds and know that hip hop is the core of YGent. Jason is right. Shutdown sounds different with a classical sample yet sounds like bp aswell and made to appeal to public. Slowly BP is changing their sound but "catchy" should stay on their songs. Thats why BP is so popular nowadays

the use of only a specific part of panini's song when compared with feel my rhythm is justified by the intention. fmr was constructed to be a hommage to the piece in question and it's overall a pop song, while blackpink's shut down is a lot more hip hop focused. hip hop culture historically uses repetitive beats, because what drives the song is the rapper's delivery in terms of flow, cadence, rhymes, etc. so of course the use of a classical piece in a hip hop song would have to be addapted to fit into this syncretism, wich is also the reason why the key isn't the original one but a lower version of it and also why the tempo is a bit more slow. it's just a matter of what musical genre the groups were trying to convey

Paganini, the "Devil's Violinist". And they samples his works, which often played without sheet music. I wonder if the girls played this song without even read the lyrics too?! And, I remembered Panini as collectible stickers brand name. 😅

Honestly "Shut Down" was much better in my opinion than a lot of Blackpink's recent releases, but for me at least it suffers from a fatal flaw. The most interesting part of the piece is the Paganini sample. It dominates the song. Now, I do understand and to a certain extent agree with Jason's point, but it doesn't mean something which appeals to a wide audience is inherently good. If the music is supposed to make the lyrics stand out, then the lyrics need to stand out, and the only thing I remember about this song is the Paganini. Since it was mentioned in the video, this is not the case with Feel My Rhythm, where the song feels more like a true reinterpretation, rather than simply sampling a piece of it to use as a repetitive hook for what is essentially a rap song. Now, that idea can work, but as a rapper you have to be spitting bars, like straight fire. I just don't see that here. It's unimaginative lyrics, talking about how great they are. That is commercial, main stream rap/hip hop, and I have never found it appealing. I completely understand the notion of emphasizing the rap in rap, it's kind of the whole point, but then the rap itself needs to be good, which usually means spitting truth into the engines of hate(which is here, but in a cheap artificial way). The biggest problem I have, is the rap sounds an awful lot like the Paganini, with a few notes dropped out, so again what I'm remembering is the Paganini, not Blackpink. This speaks to poor production/composition, which I think has plagued Blackpink, with some notable exceptions(Lovesick Girls). Anyway, sorry for the rant, twas an insightful and entertaining video as always.

I think this is why I could never get in to them. I thought at first the music wasn’t my style, but I have some similar songs in my playlist. I think the main reason is their rap just doesn’t appeal to me. I have high expectations for the lyrics in rap, and I think everyone should. Personally, I think raps core is the lyrics and flow you put out. They just don’t have that for me. If their main concept is swag and being cool rap will be involved. I think I’m more dissatisfied that YG put together a group with people who don’t really like to rap. Jennie wasn’t a rapper until she joined, Rosé has a very laidback tone and voice that fits indie, and Jisoo has a clear tone that would fit poppy songs. I think Lisa has a good voice for it, but the lyrics just aren’t good. My point is it feels very commercial and forced. When I listen to their covers I enjoy it, but their own songs I can’t get into. Hopefully, they can have a concept change or come out with something that fits their OWN styles better.

It doesn't really makes sense to compare Blackpink's and Red Velvet's songs, they're under different companies and have a completely different music style and direction. I personally prefer Shut Down > Feel My Rhythm but that's just my music taste. Cherry Bullet used a classical sample in the best way for me with their song Hands Up and Für Elise by Beethoven. And Billlie with their song Everybody's Got A Secret and Tchaikovsky was nice too!

I agree that it honours a Paganini phrasing in keeping the beat and bass so complimentary to the original violin. You rehearse a bar, don’t you? Over and again? Also, Paganini kind of sampled Liszt when he transferred it to violin and ad nauseam. It pleases classical heads like me and catches the ear of those who aren’t. It can only be a good thing imo.

Thank you for this clear analysis, I actually thought the same thing as Jason did. At the end of the day, it's always about the what the song is for. So though I'm part of that (classic music lover) small crowd who was expecting more of the sample, the song was still good and served its purpose, to appeal larger audience. I hope you also do a reaction vid on Red Velvet's Marionette from their JP comeback recently. It kinda sounds like Nutcracker's Dance of the Sugarplum over there 😁😁😁

This is not review of how good or lacking shutdown is as a song but more like did the song use La campanella sample as "efficiently" as the other song. But the twist here, now if you see anyone post a violin cover of la campenella, there will always be that one "blackpink in your area ayo" And that is impact. That's on making classical music into hip hop and making it mainstream.

I bet no one of the classical musician like it when kpopers flooded their La Campanella performance comment section with "blackpink blablabla" it's annoying. you can see in "Clara-Jumi Kang: Paganini, La Campanella (Arr. Kreisler) (Encore 2/3)" video, they even pinned that in their comment section. And the fact that the group just took two bars as the sample and their fans all suddenly act superior LOL
