Hello everyone, it's time for the weekly "China Rap Summit Showdown" after-feeling session. Today has finally reached the finals, and it is also the Mid-Autumn Festival and Teachers' Day, I wish our readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and teachers among readers a happy Teacher's Day.
Recalling that before "China New Rap 2020", it seems that the program group has always had a lot of interest in xingshi and moving the public. This year's finals are also arranged like this, the opening gave a full five minutes of blockbuster introduction, and then it was a collective chorus of kung fu fat "Generation", before the start of the singing also flashed back to the picture of everyone participating in the program in recent years, quite a feeling of high school classmates graduating and singing together in KTV to say goodbye to youth.
But anyway, Kung Fu Fat is definitely the biggest winner, rapper is actually very sensitive to his own lyrics, and will not easily sing other people's words, but this time the stage does not seem to have this taboo, Capper, VaVa, Wanida, Good Morning have borne the equivalent of a Verse word volume. What is even more surprising is that Psy.P also rushed to the stage with Xiao Bai and Li Jialong, singing this song "Generation" (and still holding the living dead Yang and Su), which also makes people feel that he really let go of the past mustard and everyone achieved harmonious coexistence.
Under the illumination of warm yellow lights, the whole atmosphere appears warm, harmonious and united. However, it was hard to create a little atmosphere, and Chen Linong came up and gave it a whole thing. As a brand spokesperson, it is understandable to come up and sing, but this song is most likely half open, because Chen Linong has been dancing with high intensity, and from all aspects, this song is also relatively mediocre.
Before the finals, as usual, there was still a talking session, Yang and Su Chong's good morning sentence "If the loser league 2 wins the championship, then the other leagues are worthless", but this sentence was refuted by Sheng Yu, who believed that "no league is worthless". GAI also said "we are teammates, we are not opponents". From the perspective of the format, the finals are also performed and voted by each other, and there is no strong confrontation.
The previous several periods of necklace competition, but also laid the groundwork for the finals, Yang and Su group, GAI group, Sheng Yu group and hot dog group respectively won 70, 40, 30, 20 basic votes, it seems to be a big gap, but the finals four rounds, each round can get up to 200 votes, calculated down a total of 800 votes can be taken, so although this gap exists, but it is not insurmountable, but where there is a round of opponents to pull down, their own extraordinary play, you can instantly reverse the gap.
The four rounds of competition are Solo Battle, Guest Singing, Free Agent And League Collective Battle. This time, the composition of the peak panel joined the media jury and the representative of the music festival organizer, and the composition of the media review was not the same as that of previous years' programs, because the vertical self-media were basically pulled to be the critics, so the media review was basically some mainstream paper media and pan-Asian cultural media.
The festival represents a setting that has never been seen before, but it is the group that the audience is most exposed to, including AYO who has been deeply involved in the HipHop field for many years! There are also some more comprehensive music festivals such as music festivals, M_DSK music festivals and YOLO music festivals. As for the reason why they did not appear before and this time, I guess it is because this year's contestants are all popular invitees of the festival, and it is of course the most convincing to observe and examine their live ability.
Before the game, everyone also expressed their determination, and returning players like Psy.P also sat in the commentary seat, forming the largest commentary team since the season's show. To say that VaVa is really a surfing expert, playing the "grandpa to fight" terrier. This is a very magical song, and it is even more popular after being used as a BGM for boxing by a security uncle. However, thinking that VaVa first fought back against the netizens' remarks that "Xu Kaicheng's Rap is better than VaVa", her surfing ability has always been obvious to all.
Tsong predicted the possible ranking in the commentary seat. He said that GAI is like Thanos, which is understandable, after all, Tsong is in gai's label for "China New Rap 2020". But then Tsong says that AiGe is like Doctor Strange because his abilities are so comprehensive... Is this a hint that Aige can find a way to win the GAI?
Sheng Yu was the first to fight, singing "Stupid + Grandma Bridge". To be honest, it is not often seen Sheng Yu open his heart to talk about his own story, the last time I could feel this resonance was the "More Up" of "China New Rap 2019", but at that time he said it was also very cryptic, this time "Stupid" is very straightforward. What is more touching is the sentence "Shengyu Great Genius" at the end, which makes people think of Sakuragi Hanamichi for a moment.
The introduction words of the major award ceremonies designed in the middle are also very shocking, with the lyrics of "I am a great genius of Shengyu", at first glance you will think that he is showing off, but when you hear the chorus of the melody, you know that this life is not all happy, and he also has his own confusion to solve. As the Critic said, the connection of this song is indeed not very good, but the style of the two songs before and after is indeed very different, and there may not be any connection that can be completely satisfactory.
I personally like the latter "Grandma Bridge", because the same kind of subject matter is too easy to write into a cookie-cutter incitement, but this song has the opposite of Chill's, with a very Chill very jumping very Funk feeling, singing the most heartfelt lyrics, giving people a very unique sense of listening. The lyrics of "Grandma Bridge" are very meaningful, especially the section "The houttuynia you cooked for me was originally called folded ear root". I think it's the style that influences the listener to feel the content of the song's lyrics, and in my mind, it's Sheng Yu's best performance in a whole season.
Another highlight of this song is that Max Ma Jun's son Maxson Ma Haorui was invited to sing along, Ma Haorui is only six years old now, whether Capper can carry the flag after 00 is still controversial, and Ma Haorui should not have any controversy about whether he can carry the banner after 15 years. In front of his age, brother Maji and Brother Tender Peach both looked too old.
It should be emphasized that Ma Haorui is definitely not a gimmick, he sang a melodic Hook plus a whole Verse, in addition to the words are not written by himself, the performance has been perfect. As strong as my sand and sea, when I was six years old, I could only sing a karaoke contest in our county, although Ma Haorui did not come on stage (the stage with Mike was a female Dancer), but the pre-recorded audio could directly go to the final stage of "China Rap Summit Showdown", and sang so much content, at least then it could be better than the letter steel.
GAI this time is "Mountain Lan Flow Du Kang Rhyme", which is also a combination of two songs. First come to "Du Kang" to show the tone in place, and then "Shanlan" to play a fast Flow, have a comprehensive display of their own ability, but also use flute and chimes, these two traditional Chinese instruments, this is indeed the most GAI scene, bursting and floating, GAI can be easily controlled.
The most objective evaluation of the song came from Psy.P,, GAI's former nemesis on the narration table, who said that "this has to be voted, this is really handsome", and explained that Gunna has two very popular songs because he sampled traditional Chinese instruments, and he could not do this style himself. Psy.P's evaluation of GAI's change from "fried" to "immortal" is: "There are no feet off the ground, but the soul is off the ground!" ”
GAI played a lot of traditional Chinese instruments, and GALI is like the opposite of GAI, opening with a melodious violin that attracts all the attention of the audience and invites a professional orchestra. GALI also hides a lot of Punchline in this song, such as "It's not that I'm running fast, it's that the OGs are moving like ants" and "Some people say I'm similar to every song, is there a second kind of HipHop", which also pays tribute to "Smoke" and "Ten Years".
In the second half of the song, "The Slaughterhouse", GALI brought in the original singer To present a Vocal, but it was not a live performance, but preset in the audio itself. It's a pity that the last line, "Welcome to my slaughter-house," didn't come out, and it always felt a bit empty. Finally, the opening violin melody sounded again, forming a beginning and end echo, GALI half-kneeled, facing the ballet dancers who were completely bent over, and the blue and red lights created a strong stage effect, which made people feel shocked.
It is worth noting that when GALI sang about "bipolar disorder", the camera was given to Capper. In fact, in addition to GALI and Capper, Sheng Yu also has bipolar disorder, and the incidence of this mental illness among rappers or art practitioners can be said to be quite high. All in all, GALI created a work of art-like scene and won the high praise of Li Jialong, who won him at the time.
Aije used his father's name as the title of the song, which requires a lot of courage, and "in the name of the father" means that this must not be a song that has dealt with things. From the time I entered Verse at the end of Ai's opening chorus, I thought of Huang Xu's "Letter from Heaven" and Pharaoh's "Intimate Lover 2017" and "Little River Flowing Water 1952", this Free singing method and white-reading Flow are the most suitable for narrative. The difference is that AiJen's Beat is more enthusiastic than both of them, but he can still grab the attention of the audience with his vocals, which is Aije's ability.
After the game, Ai Ge revealed that the song was written a week before the game, and it should be said that Ai Ge is really talented. There are also many tributes and touching points in the middle of this song, such as mentioning "Epic" and his own "Thousand Miles", as well as for his father, "Ai Ge is the champion Forever your sun", "You are Master Ai". Finally, to his family, Ai Ge spoke In Uighur, and he thought that he was also sincere.
In the end, GALI won the first round with 165 votes, Ai Ge ranked second with 158 votes, GAI got 137 votes, and Sheng Yu only had 99 votes. In my opinion, gai and Sheng Yu's performance is also very good, and the vote count can be higher. Then there was Psy.P's return performance, he was really handsome, although the lyrics were all vernacular and did not have a particularly rich connotation, but the rap style was quite positive. After the performance, Psy.P himself also joked: "I forgot all kinds of words during the rehearsal, but I didn't panic at all, anyway, I didn't compete!" ”
Then into the second round, Wang Ether with Chang Shilei, GAI with Zhang Yixing, these two pairs are known through "I am a singer-songwriter", I have to say that iQiyi is indeed very useful in matchmaking, before Ricky also through "The Summer of the Band" and rappers have a dream linkage. The hot dog looked for the second-hand rose liang dragon, obviously wanting to play something big.
Liu Cong found CoCo Li Wei, this scene according to the uncle is "Liu Cong never sent a circle of friends, but with CoCo on the phone sent a circle of friends." In front of the Chinese music queen, Liu Cong was so humble that he was simply overdone, saying that he was a nobody, a little rapper, and it was inevitable that he was a bit arrogant.
Wang Ether and Chang Shilei's "Hunter" found the car guide to do the opening recitation, this hand is really quite flowery, and the car guide's voice is indeed recognizable, very shrouded. Chang Shilei's voice is truly a "heavenly voice" that brings a great bonus to Wang Ether.
GAI and Zhang Yixing's "Kang Long Has Regrets" has been performed once in "China New Rap 2020", and Zhang Yixing came over to play assist. Of course, even if this stage is performed again, GAI still comes up with a good competitive state, and the last round of immortals is enough, and this round should be fried.
Liu Cong and CoCo's collaboration "Undefeated in the East" is full of patriotic feelings, and the experienced Beat can indeed let the audience into a specific mood for the first time. Liu Cong and CoCo played the melody clearly, but there are not many Rap parts in the whole song.
As for Hot Dog, TT, Capper and Used Rose's Monkey Hunt, that's really all about playing music. The lyrics of the hot dog pay tribute to his earliest Crew "Big Circus", as well as the domineering expression of "you see me as a little person who finally became the godfather", the king style is still the same, TT is also stable play, Capper's final melody is very suitable for the tone of the second-hand rose, of course, it is also very suitable, almost like a non-staff member.
The final vote ratio was 178 to 160 to 139 to 135, the GAI group won the first place, the hot dog group ranked second, the Yang and Su group ranked third, and the Sheng Yu group ranked bottom. It was time for the returning singer to perform, and Uncle Gem took out "Sending Lovers Dongxue", which is a very profound song that tells about the changes in the northeast over the years, as well as the dedication and exploration of the people of the northeast.
