If Russians have vodka, if the Japanese have Sake, Koreans have Soju.
Since it’s a lower percentage of alcohol, you don’t really feel it at first but it
kind of creeps up on you.
Everybody drinks it from right when you turn the legal drinking age to grandmas and grandpas.
The track is very trendy.
It’s very western.
It’s very hip hop and so to mix that with something as Korean cultured as Soju, thought
it would be dope.
You don’t really expect someone like 2 Chainz, you know kind of like the OG of Atlanta, to
be on a song talking about a drink from Korea.
He sent the verse and he killed it.
I loved it.
There’s a soju glass.
It’s like a little glass about this big and about like this round.
Of course you pour each other shots.
You never wanna pour your own.
It’s bad luck.
If it’s something too strong, like whiskey or like vodka, it’s like 40-50% alcohol
so you’d get messed up real quick right?
It’s good to kind of like get lit but not too drunk where you’re like…
Throwing up or falling over.
I think that’s a good thing about soju and taking shots.
If you drink a good amount, you’re buzzed but you’re still coherent and so it might
make you kinda…
Even lit in the bedroom.
Or kind of like last longer.
If you drink too much, maybe there might…
Might be no sex at all.
Anjoos is like an appetizer when you drink.
Suksae galbi is a short-rib beef.
A little sweet.
Jackson tang is like a stew with a bunch of stuff in it.
It’s very good for when you drink.
First song I ever recorded was to a Fat Joe beat.
It was to “Lean Back.”
It’s crazy that he’s been able to keep it going for so long and is still very very dope.
He has hits like “All The Way Up.”
Salute to Fat Joe.
After I signed to Roc Nation, a bunch of people are like, “You’re an inspiration."
"We look up to you.”
So it’s kind of like…
I feel like I have a lot of people I need to put on for.
Represent Korea.
Represent the Asian-Americans.
And represent Seattle.
So it’s kind of like…
I need to really do it right, I feel.
Karaoke's very big over there.
They have it in arcades for the younger kids.
You just put in a quarter and you just sing whatever you want.
So there’s a lot of great singers over there which is crazy.
Like I said, even with karaoke, it’s similar to soju.
Everybody from younger kids to elder people can enjoy it.
Han jan duh just means “one more.”
One more drink.
One more shot.
Whatever it may be.
I just thought it would be interesting to like you know, throw in little Korean words
or little Korean phrases in the song.
Just to kind of like introduce to people my culture and my language and whatnot.
