Two Cents: YMGA needs to fire somebody

YMGA (Young Men Gangsta’s Association), YG Entertainment’s newest act, recently had it’s debut on SBS InkiGayo with their single Tell It To My Heart. They had a humorous faux pas involving some scrolling text displays and an unparsed repitition of their group name.

Maybe it’s me being immature but I think that’s pretty funny.

Anyways YMGA is a decent enough of a group but for those who don’t know, it is far from the first time Masta Wu and Digital Masta have collaborated.

Once upon a time they were both under the tutelage of Lee Hyun Do aka D.O. of Deux fame. At that time Masta Wu went by alias Ginnwon and in my opinion put out much better material. Digital Masta released a solo album in the early 2000’s and then formed a group with another MC named Shilyuk to form DNS. That didn’t last long and before we knew it Digital Masta would do a little work with JoPD before fading out for a long time.

Meanwhile Ginnwon reinvents himself as Masta Wu a few years later and signs onto YG. Another few years, a couple solo albums later he’s come back to form YMGA with his ol’ friend Digital Masta.

Don’t get me wrong, they have seem to found the right balance of style and radio-friendly catchiness but it’s not the same as their old work.

So as a bonus I give you Digital Masta’s solo album from 7-8 years ago.
