Music Style

G-Dragon’s music bases on Hip Hop. He listened to the music of The Wu-Tang Clan when he was 10 years old, and participated in Hip Hop Flex album in 2001. He continued practicing Hip Hop music while being a trainee at YG Entertainment. However, his music after the debut not only limits itself in Hip Hop, but also in fusion genres; in “Lies”, he combined house and Hip Hop; in his solo piece “But I Love U”, he sampled Redd Holt Unlimited’s Rhu in jazz in Hip Hop. In “Oh My Friend”, he fused rock and rap, collaborating with No Brain, and in “Strong Baby”, which he composed with Bae Jin Ryul, is a pop-dance music. G-Dragon expands his music career to not only in hiphop, but to a broad spectrum of genres. However, like he said in YG Bounce interview, he “does not want to be limited to merely rapping, and is open-minded to all possibilities. But his identity can be defined as a rapper, if in need of a definition.”

Fashion Style

From his debut, G-Dragon has drawn attention from many through his sense of fashion. He usually wears London street fashion, and likes to have unique accessories to accompany his style. In his recent interview with YG Bounce, he said, “by the time others imitate my style, I would be in a different appearance. it is not fun to look the same like others. because I don’t want to be the same, I think over and over to look unique”. G-Dragon is not just interested in fashion, but he is passionate in collecting information over the internet and thinking over it. In Big Bang’s autobiography, he wrote, “for me, my fashion is not merely of clothes nor brands, but are wings to describe my identity. If music is the energy to drive myself, clothes are the sources which I can expand myself upon. if time permits, I want to work in the fashion industry one day while I write my songs, from time to time I design my own clothes.”

Controversies

Despite his success, G-Dragon has not been free of any controversies. G-Dragon has been subjected to allegations of plagiarism. The first hit by Big Bang, “Lies” was composed by G-Dragon. The first few seconds of the song “Lies” have been the accused of plagiarizing FreeTEMPO’s “Sky High.” Legal action was never taken, as the composer of “Sky High” said, “Even though it sounds very similar, it has a completely different feelig.” Most lately, G-Dragon’s “Heartbreaker” has been accused of Plagiarising Flo-Rida’s “Right Round” and another song of plagiarising Oaisis’s “Butterfly.” Legal action has not yet been taken.

G-Dragon’s choice of clothing in the last episode of Big Bang’s documentary. In this episode, G-Dragon can be seen wearing a T-Shirt with a picture of a nude woman on it. It has been censored, but not enough to be not recognized. Also, G-Dragon also performed in a concert wearing a T-Shirt with stickers on it that said “I love sex, “69,” and “F*** U Too.” G-Dragon has apologized for such actions.
