- Hey guys, we're back.
We're Epik High and I'm Tablo.
- DJ Tukutz.
- Mithra.
- It's been a while, right?
- Yes. - Since we did Buzzfeed.
- It's been a long time.
- And you know, Buzzfeed x Epik High collab
is always, always, a hit.
- And then he goes.
(roaring)
(DJ Tukutz and Mithra laughing)
(speaking Korean)
(Tablo and Mithra screaming excitedly)
(chuckles)
- Today, we're going to do something really fun.
But before we start, we have to tell you,
we have a new song out called Face ID,
featuring GIRIBOY, Sik-K, and JUSTHIS.
The music video is crazy, it's on YouTube.
If you haven't seen it yet, why?
Go check it out.
We also are doing a 2022 Epik High North America tour.
You can get ticks right now at epikhigh.com.
And today we're doing Epik High rank your songs.
(upbeat music)
- As you can see, there are 32 songs
that I guess our fans like the most,
some of our biggest hits,
and I've seen other K-pop artists do this,
but since we're Epik High,
although we love all 32 of these songs,
I mean, we made them, we care about them very much.
We will try to decide out of the 32 songs,
which song
we hate the most.
- Okay.
- Which song we liked the least.
(Mithra speaks Korean)
- Okay? (Tukutz speaking Korean)
So.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Yes.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Tablo speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(chuckles)
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Why you so mad?
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- What's wrong with you, man? (Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Mithra laughing)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- I have one, so I know about 50%.
Then before we begin, as practice,
this is your first born son.
This is your daughter.
Okay, you have to choose.
Which,
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Of course you love them both,
and they're both beautiful.
If you have to choose one,
this is what we're doing today.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Favorite child.
(laughing)
- Who is 51 out of 100.
Can you choose?
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- See, it's hard.
These songs are like our kids.
We chose 32 of our kids.
We have to decide which one we like less.
So first our new song
Face ID versus, oh my God.
Born Hater.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Why?
Because it's the newest song?
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Yes, Tukutz, his favorite song is always the latest song
because that's the one he's trying to make money with.
For Tukutz, here, it's just money.
(laughing)
- One, two, three, you say which one you like less.
One, two, three.
- Face ID. - Born Hater.
- The song we just put out, you like it less.
- (Mithra speaking Korean)
- What do you mean?
It's a huge hit right now.
- (Mithra speaking Korean)
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Well, two to one, Born Hater is our
- We know - less favorite
because we like Face ID more.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- On this side, we have,
Jesus.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] We have 1minute, 1second,
(Tablo speaks Korean)
versus Lost One.
Lost One is a song where, you know,
it's like a solo song almost.
I don't think these guys will like it that much.
(Mithra speaks Korean)
(Tablo speaks Korean)
- Lost One. - 1minute 1second.
(Mithra speaks Korean)
(Tukutz speaks Korean)
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] Next one.
Don't Hate Me versus No Thanxxx.
(Mithra speaks Korean)
Let me just tell you, when Don't Hate Me first came out,
that was definitely our least favorite song,
because so many of our like core fans, totally shat on us.
(laughing)
- This album was very kind of pop-y and very happy,
which our core fans apparently, you know, don't like.
When the song came out, Mithra's looking
at like the comments, I see Mithra's face,
just like I'm like, what is it?
And he's like, you don't want to see it.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- They hated us.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- But song became one of our biggest hits ironically,
because the minute we performed it live, people were like,
oh my God, this is like undeniably
great to see live.
And it's now always our encore song.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- And No Thanxxx is a wonderful song too.
It usually opens up our concert.
Which one do you like less?
One, two, three.
- No Thanxxx.
- Oh.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tablo speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] So next Happen Ending versus Rich.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- I like both songs a lot.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Happen Ending was produced by me.
Rich was produced by Tukutz.
So this is a matter of like,
do you like Tukutz more or Tablo more?
Happen Ending, Rich?
Which one do you like less?
- Um.
(Mithra tapping fingers on table)
- Happen Ending.
- Yeah.
- What the.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- All right, man.
All right.
I was so ready to do two best friends forever with you,
but not anymore.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- You're right.
I suck at making music.
- Yup.
- [Tablo] Map the Soul versus People Scare Me,
both produced by DJ Tukutz.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
but mostly the song was crappy
before we started rapping on it.
It was the crap he saw, like your beats.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Map to Soul.
- [Tablo] Map to Soul you like less?
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Okay, whatever.
Let's do this side first.
[Tablo] Rain Song versus Rosario.
- Ahh.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Mithra laughs)
- No, but Rosario also has like the music video.
One, two, three.
- Rain Song. - Rosario.
- Two to one. - Yeah.
[Both] Best friends forever.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] Rain Song.
Eternal Sunshine versus In Seoul.
Eternal Sunshine was produced by Suga of BTS and me.
In Seoul was produced by Tukutz and me.
I want to let you decide which song you like less.
And if you choose Eternal Sunshine,
that will probably mean that you are saying
that you don't like BTS.
(Mithra laughs)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- In Seoul.
- [Mithra] Oh.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Tablo speaking Korean)
[Tablo] Encore or Love Love Love.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- These are two, they're totally different.
One, two, three.
- Encore. - Love, Love, Love.
- Best friends. - Yeah.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] Because we like them both.
This was a very good song, but Love Love Love
was the song that like
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- made us super popular.
[Tablo] Fly.
- [Mithra and Tukutz] Oh.
(Tukutz and Mithra speaking Korean)
- And One.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- The song I like less, right?
Oh man this is hard.
One, two, three.
One.
- One, easy.
- [Tablo] I liked Fly a little more
because it was our first number one song.
It like kind of put us on the map
after years of struggling.
[Tablo] Burj Khalifa versus Amor Fati.
One, two, three.
- [All] Amor Fati.
- Amor Fati is actually one of my favorite songs
I ever wrote like lyrically.
But Burj Khalifa is so fun, like during concerts.
Man, this is hard.
Okay, Love Story featuring IU versus Bleed.
One, two, the song we like less.
- Bleed. - Love Story.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
[Tablo] No, he made, he produced Love Story.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- He likes them both, yeah.
[Tablo] Now Here Come the Regrets versus Acceptance Speech.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Backstory on Here Come the Regrets.
We made it with Kanye West's team at a song camp
and they loved the song so much.
They said that Kanye was going to take the song.
Tukutz, who made that beat was so happy
and ready to retire
and quit Epik High.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- And then the song never came out.
So we put it on our album.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- One, two, three.
- [All] Here Come the Regrets.
- End of the World versus Fan.
Fan was one of our huge mega hits.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- One, two, three.
- [All] End of the World.
- [Tablo] Okay, Love Drunk versus Home is Far Away.
(all inhale)
- This is crush versus battle like all of the voices
of the songs that just like get to your heart.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- One, two, three.
- [All] Love Drunk.
- [Tablo] Oh, Umbrella, Lesson Zero.
Lesson Zero again is a solo song of mine.
One, two, three.
- Umbrella. - Lesson Zero.
- Of course.
[Tablo] Based on a true story, versus Eyes Nose Lips.
Both very emotional songs.
Eyes Nose Lips, which version though?
Our version right?
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Mithra laughs)
- That would be pretty weird.
- Eyes Nose Lips.
- [Tablo] Okay.
Again, we are doing our least favorite.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- I'm already like.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- This is really long.
Let's go a little faster.
[Tablo] Born Hater versus No Thanxxx.
- No Thanxxx.
- What the hell?
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Can we do one, two, three?
One, two, three.
- [All] No Thanxxx.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- No Thanxxx is a song we like least,
we never perform again ever.
(Mithra and Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Okay, okay, all right.
- Okay.
- [Tablo] Map the Soul versus Rain Song.
The song we like less, one, two, three.
- [All] Rain Song.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] In Seoul versus Encore.
One, two, three.
- In Seoul. - Encore.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] One versus Amor Fati.
One, two, three.
- [All] Amor Fati.
- Looks like I'm never going to be performing
Amor Fati again.
(Mithra laughs)
- I can just see it.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Okay, oh yeah.
Another contender.
[Tablo] Lost One or Happen Ending which one you like less.
One, two, three.
- Lost One. - Happen Ending.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] Bleed or Here Come the Regrets.
One, two, three.
- [All] Here Come the Regrets.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- We like both songs.
Except if we just have to choose one
[Tablo] End of the World versus Love Drug.
One, two, three.
- [All] End of the World.
Lesson Zero versus Eyes Nose Lips.
One, two, three.
- [All] Eyes Nose Lips.
- Oh,
best.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- That's kind of messed up.
(Mithra and Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] No Thank You versus Rain Song.
- Oh.
- The song we like less out of the two.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
One, two, three.
- [All] Rain Song.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- [Tablo] In Seoul versus
Amor Fati. (Mithra speaking Korean)

- The song that lasts till the end,
we will never perform again for the rest of our lives.
[Tablo] Lost One versus Here Come the Regrets.
One, two, three.
- Here Come the Regrets. - Lost One.
- Why are you guys choosing all the songs
that I'm like that that are solo.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Okay, whatever.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- Oh my God.
[Tablo] End of the World versus Eyes Nose Lips.
One, two, three.
- [All] End of the World.
Best friends forever. (Mithra shouts)
- Final four.
[Tablo] Rain Song, Lost One, Amor Fati, End of the World.
Rain Song versus Amor Fati.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- I just got to tell you though.
After our tour announcement,
so many people tweeted me saying if you perform Amor Fati,
I'll go.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- If fans want it I will perform this song.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(all laughing)
- One, two, three.
- Rain Song. - Amor Fati.
- You.
(all laughing)
- I have a feeling,
this is going to be the battle of two Tablo solo songs.
[Tablo] Lost One versus End of the World.
One, two, three.
- End of the World. - Lost One.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
Oh my God, thank you.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Oh, that's a good point.
Wait, this is Lost One.
It's not Lesson Zero, I cancel, I cancel.
[Tablo] Lost One.
(Tukutz and Mithra laughing)
- This is really hard for me to perform.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- The worst two songs Epik High has ever made
are two songs (Mithra speaking Korean)
I'm rapping alone on.
Both songs produced by me
(Mithra and Tukutz laughing)
- and they both feature Nell's Kim Jong Wan.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- Like I poured my heart into both songs.
It's sad that these two songs are the songs that you guys
hate the most, but I'll leave it up to you two to decide.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- No, no, no, both songs are hard.
Both songs are hard.
(Mithra and Tukutz speaking Korean)
- No, but I like this song a lot.
I would rather you chose Lost One as the one I hate.
One, two, three.
- Lost One.
- [Tablo] So the worst song Epik High has ever made.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- We will never perform Lost One again
for the rest of our lives.
(Tukutz speaking Korean)
- I haven't released a solo album in like 10 years.
(Mithra speaking Korean)
- One day I will do a solo concert
and I will be performing Lesson Zero,
Eyes Nose Lips, Lost One, Amor Fati.
All these songs that I did on my own.
And the guest is Epik High.
Tablo solo concert, featuring guests,
Tukutz and Mithra Jin.
I do about three songs on my own and everything else
is Epik High.
There you have it, Lost One is literally the worst song
Epik High has ever made.
Make sure you go check out Lost One on YouTube
and you'll realize that even our worst song ever made
is a very, very good song.
If you come to our show, March, April, 2022,
you will probably hear a lot of these songs,
but not this one.
- Lost One.
- Bye-bye.
