Recently, the hottest song in the rap circle is Jiang Yunsheng's "Romanticism".
Once the song was released on NetEase Cloud, it won 5W+ reviews in just a few days, and there is still a trend of continuing to rise.
And Jiang Yunsheng's own NetEase cloud fans have also exceeded 2.8 million in these days, which is not only higher than veteran singers like Zhang Jie, but also surpasses the new generation of top rappers like Cai Xukun.
Saying that Jiang Yunsheng is currently the hottest rapper in China does not seem to be wrong.
However, after "Romanticism" created such a high degree of popularity, it was followed by many doubts about Jiang Yunsheng himself.
Some people think that Jiang Yunsheng's song has no standard, even less than his previous works; some people think that Jiang Yunsheng's fans are fans of the rice circle, not Hip-Hop is very brainless; and some people start from the work and say that this song is ugly. In short, people are not many, and there are all kinds of things to say.
Just this evening, Jiang Yunsheng posted a long article on the public account, responding to the above questions one by one.

In this long article, Jiang Yunsheng responded to the questions of netizens from all angles. I carefully read this masterpiece, but from between the lines, I smelled a little whitewashing.
First of all, in the opening chapter, Jiang Yunsheng pointed out the recent chaos in the rap circle against him, and the reason for this is because the brothers do not understand the four words "market judgment".
Immediately after, he used a section of text to describe the mainstream market in his mind.
Here Jiang Yunsheng compares the content of his work "Seven Passions and Six Desires, Life Variety" with the works of "You Have Money, You Are Bullish" to show that his works are more in line with the mainstream market.
This is a bit of a stealing concept, even if Jiang Yunsheng's black powder is the most demonic gang, they will not think that these "bragging" songs should become the mainstream.
The second is Jiang Yunsheng's speculation on the artist's debate between the public and the minority, he feels that the value of art is given by others, and only stupid people will curse artists who eat more than themselves.
Here, he also said: "Successful artists are all inclusive, and artists at the bottom are paranoid." ”
I can't agree with this view at all. Not to mention that we can find too many examples of great artists who are themselves paranoid, in the case of rap circles, YE is definitely paranoid, but can you say that YE is not an artist?
In addition, the top artists are inclusive, but that is also only artistic inclusion. They will not be too detached from the public, but they will always be wary of the public, otherwise how to promote the progress of art?
Successful artists are creative, and artists at the bottom are mediocre, more or less.
For the market, Jiang Yunsheng also gave his own unique insights, I have to say that as the hottest rapper at present, he understands the point of "there is a market for consumption".
As Jiang Yunsheng said, if you really want to make a lot of money and buy Lamborghini, the stigmatized "rice circle girl" is indeed the most perfect market. Their superior spending power can satisfy most of a rapper's fantasies about money in a short period of time.
Coupled with the fact that domestic musicians have difficulties in income, it is also difficult to have corresponding living security, saying that this road is wrong, that is, standing and talking without waist pain.
But just a few years ago, when Jiang Yunsheng evaluated GAI, he completely put GAI on the opposite side of the rap circle, and now he says so, I don't know if it is because he has a different understanding of business after making money.
Finally, Jiang Yunsheng also said about the adjustments made by the song in terms of biting, tone, and listening, including many deficiencies in recording and singing due to Battle MC's origin, and he is also trying to improve.
He also admitted that in the early days of NetEase Cloud, he did have some songs that deliberately catered to the audience in terms of content, and now the works are from the heart.
Regarding these contents of his personal growth, I fully believe and am willing to respect, no matter what, a musician is trying to improve himself, it is a good thing.
In particular, Jiang Yunsheng's biting words have been questioned since his debut, and now it must be very complicated and not easy to change.
At the end of the article, Jiang Yunsheng wrote: "About Hip-Hop, Lao Tzu is the most Hip-Hop. ”
Perhaps in Jiang Yunsheng's view, his article is real enough and sincere enough. But from the perspective of my bystanders, his article is either less sincere or too arrogant.
Making money is never a shame, and Hustle is an important part of hip-hop spirit. In today's market environment, even if it is a rice circle, it is nothing to admit. But it is not necessary to take the initiative to advocate the controversial nature of this behavior.
Of course, Jiang Yunsheng wrote such an article, which can also be understood, after all, in the past six months, he should be the most miserable rapper in the rap circle.
All along, he did nothing, and endured many inexplicable gunfire. Including being played with every day, under various musical works, you can see the shadow of "not as good as Jiang Yunsheng", which is indeed a bit annoying.
In this context, it is understandable to write an article with some extreme views. But as a rap streamer, I hope that Jiang Yunsheng can think more about it the next time he writes a long article to avoid misunderstanding.
