Today's "Rapper of the Week" is Free-Out's special session, and my peers have hardly written tweets on the show, which shows how low its popularity is.
However, compared with the new rap, this show has a little good, that is, the performance of the musician can be relatively complete, unlike the new rap, many rappers are just a flash, no sense of existence.
This issue was a special session of Free-Out, and it occurred to me that it seemed as if Free-Out's rappers didn't have a good record in the new rap, and they didn't even make it into the top 20. And Guangguang, as the big brother of the label, has never participated in the new rap program.
In the Easter egg link of the show, he asked what would happen to every member of the label without it, and Guangguang also had red eyes many times, which could also see the depth of brotherhood between them.
Today is the second issue of the "Rapper of the Week" series, this section is intended to help everyone better analyze the five songs in the program, if you don't have time to watch the show, every time you look at our weekly section, you can also find good songs in the show.
MC Guangguang's performance of "Give Me Peppers", this song is indeed spicy enough, in a way, refreshing or re-upgrading my impression of Guangguang. The voice of the light itself is very unique and recognizable, but the tone is relatively single, and there are certain restrictions on the atmosphere that you want to play with the style.
This song "Give Me Peppers", with a little content attitude to output the little handsome song of playing Flow, is the most suitable for light. The arrangement of this song is actually quite simple, that is, drum beats, 808 and an electronic sound string to do Loop, providing a rhythm play Flow.
I have to say that Guangguang's Flow is unique in China, a bit of Twista's shadow, but it is not so fast, very comfortable fast mouth speed, the biggest feature is his signature tongue biting words, the whole song is full of elastic rhythm.
The overall performance of the light scene is also very stable, this Kind of Flow orchestration is flawless or strong, strong I don't want to listen to the studio version, I want to see the scene.
The new single "Dry Up in My Garden" by Good Morning Is a work of drifters, and the rap is not very long. Now the Chinese rap circle is more and more fond of doing some punk and rock genre works.
This song is undoubtedly very prominent, niche, positive, and a large number of singing segments on such a song stage, whether it is for Chinese rap listeners, or the audience of passers-by on the show.
This song is not very good for my appetite, I did not say bad just not to my appetite, mainly the lyrics express a little too positive energy, although it is a streamer, but the technical level is that Punk has no spirit and is slightly less tasteful. Of course, I know that on that stage, you can't sing too negative energy content.
Good morning voice is quite suitable for singing streamers, and there is that kind of rustic, imperfect voice in the roughness that is more suitable for punk, and this is played beautifully in the live performance version.
And the new single "Up" is very appetizing to me, with a bit of a national egg Type enhanced version of the feeling, on the basis of Boombap into some 808, retro female vocal soul music to provide the era label.
Verse's Flow is also very well arranged, smoothly beating at the same time the row is very full, there is no too deliberate some conversions, comfortable is the most important. However, I think it is a little bit of a failure in the Hook part, although from the content point, I don't like this simple rhythm of some Hooks, it is really a bit monotonous.
According to my idea, I might do some pure sampling gameplay, incorporate some rubbing, and make this female vocal chant throughout the song more complete as Hook.
Of course, this kind of song will not be too dominant in the song program, one is that the audience is limited, and the other is that it pays attention to the smooth and comfortable Flow and tone, which is doomed to lose some of the shows in the aesthetics of primary listeners.
The third is this kind of pure work, in fact, in the live radio and post-effect is not too good, too primitive, the vocals are amplified, you can clearly hear some of the sound of spraying wheat, this song is still more suitable for watching performances and studio versions.
Kandi Kandi's "Play That Song", a song that can't go wrong, can't fault fans and ordinary listeners. But for listeners with a complete aesthetic orientation, it may be almost interesting.
First of all, I don't like this literary style, within my aesthetic category, HipHop is relatively dirty, so small and fresh is really not my dish. Secondly, the xylophone accompaniment of this song belongs to the set chords, and the set chords is not a problem, the problem is whether the melodic creation on this chord can fit the direction.
In fact, this song is a bit unpaste, and the composition in many places is too brisk, and the gentle folk song of the xylophone is not a road number. The second is the arrangement of the song, which seems to me that perhaps the acoustic drum beat and the light Hihat will be more suitable, and the portamento in this song is really a bit incompatible.
KC's performance of "Neon 2.0" is a single in the second half of his new album "Paradise Lost", and this song is also my favorite song on this album. The accompaniment of the whole song is a synth rock feel, a bit like a Chinese band I like, Crispberry.
But the overall style is different from the psychedelic feel of most synth rock. There is no sour feeling, more synth options have a bit of a steam wave feel, which is a common sound in Japan in the 80s and 90s.
This song KC is very beautiful to control, in the overall more soothing atmosphere with a very jumping Flow to control, that is, the singing section is flat, if you can come to a version of the more exciting Remix, or make the Feeling of Dance Punk, you will love it even more.
That's what I think of the five songs of this issue of Rapper of the Week, which of these five songs is your favorite? Feel free to communicate in the comments section.
