This is Xi'an.
Just recently, I believe that rap circle listeners have been brushed by various news, today a rap producer derailed an actress, tomorrow three young Rapper gathered to shoot a small video, and then began a variety of Diss storms...
Many listeners are leaving messages in our backstage: What is going on in the rap circle?
Indeed, the recent cattle and horses in the rap circle have occurred frequently, which has made the public's misunderstanding of this circle deeper and deeper.
This can't help but make everyone sigh: those decent, music-focused Rappers really don't have any?
The answer is definitely: NO!
In fact, there are many Rappers who are quietly cultivating outside our sight.
Packett is one of them.
PACT is still in the city of Xi'an, insisting on its own HipHop Life, for ten years.
From the IRON MIC competition ten years ago, Parker can be said to have witnessed all stages of the development of Chinese HipHop.
From the earliest underground insistence, to stand out from the show, until now back to the source of music.
In Xi'an, when it comes to rapping, Pikett is the OG you can't get around.
Let's take the time back years.
At that time, Pict wrote a lot of songs in his grandmother's old house, and in that underground dark age of rap, he was like other Rappers, because of his hobby.
Many people don't know that Pict first fell in love with music production, "went to Yinchuan to meet Xiaoguang, and was fascinated by production."
At that time, Pict was still very young and loved to study, and he joined the first team of "Chaos Gate" as Beat Maker, in order to do a good job of Beat, he even took a green train for more than ten hours, just to learn a skill in production.
And Pict himself is the epitome of a group of Chang'an teenagers who love HipHop.
At that time, there was no "China New Rap", there were no hordes of rap fans now, and the public did not even understand what "HipHop" was.
Xi'an's usual HipHop circle in addition to this group of silently insistent Rappers, is the Battle performance. Remember the aperture Club of Chrysanthemum Garden?
During that golden age of Freestyle Battle, the Iron Mic and the Underground 8 Miles were the most watched events for rap fans, and Pict won two consecutive IRON MIC titles in 2011 and 2012 for his talent and hard work.
Also because of the victory over Ding Fei and BB respectively, it can be said that The Battle Field Piket has been canonized. Although he missed the chance to meet the game with the later Battle King Babe, his position in the Battle field cannot be questioned.
In fact, before "China's New Rap", Piket was already one of the representative figures in the Xi'an rap industry.
On the show, audiences across the country heard his well-known work "Y", which tells about his experience.
"I don't want to deduct those details either, because it's us who made it all."
At the same time, The post of Piket's sister on the show really touched all netizens.
Her article lets us know that Pict's parents were deaf and mute, and they struggled all the way for music.
The Pict you see, more than a decade later, even though he has achieved fame, he is still addicted to music and still stays in Xi'an. He once said that "everyone has left this ancient city, and we should choose to stay."
Yes, Pict's attitude towards music has never changed.
Whether it is in an old house of dozens of square meters, or on the stage in the spotlight.
And at a time when there are frequent scandals in the rap world, when all kinds of young Rappers are doing outrageous things, we can't help but ask: Are you hipop?
But fortunately, they are not the only rappers.
This time, Piket finally released a new song "Chang'an Teenager", showing us what the real Xi'an Rapper really is like.
This time, as a representative of Li Ning's anti-Wu BADFIVE special invitation to the Xi'an area rap, Piket once again showed his attitude.
"We'd rather be forgotten than we'd force it"
Xi'an is the Chinese rap town, where not only NOUS, HHH and other labels were born, but also competitions such as 8 miles underground, as well as countless rappers.
Under the square pattern, whether you come from the southeast, northwest or east, you must admit:
One side of the water and soil to support the other side, everyone from birth with the characteristics of Xi'an - "raw cold rubbing stubborn".
Piket is from Xi'an, and Xixiaotang is also from Xi'an.
"Raw cold and stubborn", it seems that it is not a good word, stubborn and indifferent, and the attitude towards people is not good, which is indeed. Many people have an impression of Xi'an.
But on the other hand, the Teenagers of Chang'an have gone straight, have clear love and hatred, and insist on principles to move forward bravely - they have never been instigated in the face of things.
Piket even wrote "raw cold and stubborn" in the form of a hidden poem in the lyrics.
Yes, "cold and stubborn" is exactly the spirit of Chang'an youth.
Pikett this time integrated rock, electronic and other musical elements, under the blessing of LOFIMAKER to come up with such a song "Chang'an Youth".
I have to say that the attitude of "raw cold and stubborn" itself is too HIPOP, which coincides with Li Ning's anti-Wu BADFIVE spirit, rap is to break the convention, always believe in yourself, always dare to express yourself,
I believe that you who love HIPOP, it is difficult not to resonate.
It is worth mentioning that Piket also brought a variety of elements and place names of Xi'an to the song.
Qujiang, Weiyang and other administrative districts familiar to Xi'an people have also appeared cordially.
From Qujiang to Daobei, there is a face in the middle of the road, there is a face in the middle of the country, and there is a face in gaoxin
Of course, the entire boxy city also appeared in the quarantine of Piket.
Although the Chang'an teenager is "cold and stubborn", we have the rules in our hearts.
"The city is positive, so the heart is also positive"
The whole song "Chang'an Youth" is full of Xi'an temperament.
But in fact, when we heard the name of "Chang'an Teenager", our first reaction was still Parkert and his label NOOUS.
Just last year, NOUS celebrated its tenth birthday, and the veteran label, founded in 2010, has been bringing really thought-provoking music to Rappers in Xi'an.
Although they are called "song labels" by the audience, they have made a lot of songs but have not been released, but this will not affect everyone's love for them.
In a word, they deserve it.
After listening to "Chang'an Youth", we can still feel Piket's love and exploration of music.
Remember when he went to the band, many listeners, including many fans, questioned it, but Pict was still "cold and stubborn" and insisted on making the music of his heart - he really told others what a qualified Rapper should be like.
He is still the Kendrick Lamar who was born on Oil Depot Street and grew up on Literature Road.
You say that you are stubborn or dead, but Pict and NOUS's brothers will always fight in Xi'an.
From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to Muslim Street, from Datang West Market to Qujiangchi, from Wenyi Road to Lianhu District.
This time, "Chang'an Youth" just tells us this, some stubbornness and pride that belong to Xi'an - everyone loves their hometown, and everyone wants to fight for their hometown.
And this, I am afraid, is the most HIPOP thing, to every love of HIPOP you salute.
