2NE1's 'I Am The Best' is #21 on SLANT Magazine's 'The 25 Best Singles of 2011'

Posted by MrTuxedo0 pt Friday, December 16, 2011

On December 13th, 2NE1's hit track, 'I Am The Best' was elected as #21 on SLANT magazine's 'The 25 Best Singles of 2011'. This is an incredible feat for both the girls and K-Pop, as 2NE1 placed among world-class artists like Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga. SLANT also took the time to compliment 2NE1's 'I Am The Best', as they wrote:
"One of 2011's best developments was that the Western world finally discovered the unmitigated joy of K-Pop. Even within a music scene characterized by its fearless appropriation of pop, hip-hop, and dance styles, 2NE1's "I Am the Best" is a jaw-dropping, vibrant triumph of pure swagger and verve. Really, who's going to argue with logic like "Even if you were me/You'd be envious of this body" or stand in the crosshairs for 2NE1's machine-gun "rah-tah-tah" hook? It ain't bragging if it's true, and 2NE1's "I Am The Best" makes its case airtight."
In related news, 2NE1 also grabbed first place on MTV IGGY's 'Best New Band In The World'. Source + Photos: Star News, SLANT
