GD & T.O.P - "zutter"

In the latest MADE album Big Bang has brought a single with the all-crazy G- Dragon and T.O.P. To which they take on the gangster role  in the setting of a grime down-town scene. Accompaied by the main setting- a dirty male restroom and donned in a pair of tracksuits, the scenes although weird and in some cases not very appealing. The change in scene balances the rich and the dirty elements of the gangster lifestyle. 

Their outfits are unusual as always with this pair yet, none of their outfits were that distasteful, to the point you would have to contact the fashion police. However, I do prefer them in more fashionable clothes such as the suits they wore multiple times also. Their hairstyles were cute and not over-the top but, worked into a more natural style which compliments the patterned clothing they had worn. It gives the music video a more at ease and relaxed image, which fits with the on-going track. 

What I found quite entertaining was their break-dance scene; magnified by the tracksuits they wore which  heightened their humerous freestyle dancing. Which made me smile along with the hilarious facial expressions throughout the music video mainly by T.O.P and all was welcoming. 

T.O.P' solo scene where a third of the scene was blurred/pixilated gave the impression of a sacred/ holy/ trditional side to the music video as; from what I can see hthe pig being sacrificed - But for what reason?

When I re-visited the music video again this very scene along with the lyrics spiked the thought of following the footsteps of previous idols or role models to which they have to act the same to be accepted and popularity is essential to joint the 'circle';  reserved  for only the best of the best. 

The concervative choreography at the urinal did spark some humour and small smiles but it did not last the whole of the MV.

Contradicting my previous praise, the most displeasing scene was also dancing at the urinal (the last scene). The last scene played t a reference to the film "A Tale of a Legendary Libido" a representation of physical male dominance, and the alpha male role as well as the strength they may possess; which almost certainly will be a message only adults would understand.

However, this scene could also indicate their childidsh nature as It reminds me of a newborn bab,y and the stereotypical scene most people have knowledge of. What I hate about the last scene is GD and T.O.P "watering" eachother with their own bi-products- a displeasing scene to most people. Especially female fans which causes the audience to erupt with emotions of disgust, by the  end of the music video: good thing it is a 19 rated music video. Yet, it emphasises their reputation is something manly?- I guess. Which is not easily broken by the newly debuted boy groups that adapt such a cold and strong bad boy image.

 

Depite the wierd angle of the music video is reflected by the lyrics with it's abnormal beat/melody in the background.

The lyrics emphasise the popularity of both GD and T.O.P,  describing their abilities and skills  highlighted by the songs  narcassistic love  as a result of the fame.

"Tonight were getting freaky freaky, freaky, yeah" this lyric alone foreshadows the theme of the rest of the music video - they did warn you.
