Graded Song: B.A.P "One Shot"

After releasing successful singles like "Warrior" and "Power", one of the more successful rookie groups B.A.P has released their comeback single, "One Shot" and the mini album of the same name. Do they disappoint or give their fans what they want? The song is much grittier and raw than the other single, which were in their own right pretty raw and pretty gritty. There is more of 90s rap feel to it, late 90s. It also sounds like another popular K-Pop song, EXO's "Mama" but without all the creepy Gregorian chants. I mean, I like it, but I feel like they are running the risk of becoming redundant if they keep using the hardcore theme when they create their songs.
Final Grade:C+ The music video clocks in at 7 minutes long and took close to a million dollars to make. I guess that their label has a lot riding on this comeback. The video reminds me of one of those cliche action flicks that they put out with that one action star just to make money. There was shooting, betrayal, and boats. Yeah, pretty much an American action flick...
