From 2017 "China Has Hip Hop" to the present, it is purely superfluous to ask if there is hip hop in the land of China. Xinjiang, Sichuan-Chongqing, Yunnan...... have been sealed or declared as China's rap mecca. The question left for us to study becomes: Where is the rap depression?
It's a rap geography question. As we all know, the inseparable relationship between rap and geography is like Chengdu and Disney, just like Nomi and Xie Di.
The great reconciliation of Nomicheti beef. Seeing this hot search, Hard Candy Jun understood that we have become a part of the black fear circle again. A popular way for the old to bring the new is for the newcomer to diss OG and then shake hands and call each other homie. This is a method that has long been seen in literary circles. Once Li Zongwu Yin Yin encouraged Nan Huaijin to scold him: "If you want to succeed and become famous, you have to scold people, and I am famous by scolding people." You don't have to scold others, you just scold me, scold me Li Zongwu damn it, you will succeed. ”
According to me, Emperor Xie still lacks the heat in burning the cold stove. Sheng Yu definitely contacted Nomi privately, and took him to Liuyang River overnight to relax, stabilizing the mood of not getting the necklace. "As long as the rap is explosive enough, why should the husband worry about no chain!" Nomi, who was moved, instantly felt that only Sheng Yu understood him in the world. And Sheng Yu also promised that as long as Nomi changed his household registration in Liangshan, Sichuan to Changsha, Hunan, he would mobilize CSC's connections to ensure that he would pass the audition next time.
For Nomi, the most regrettable point should be the lack of local character in the audition paragraph. directly sang Ji Ke Junyi's Yi song "Don't Be Afraid", and changed "tear pants and clothes" to be a little more vibe, and it is estimated that it can be passed directly.
Rap, unlike other music auditions, is king to show your ID card with your voice. Those in Sichuan and Chongqing must have the temperament of "not going to work" and "society", and those in Changsha must have the mind of "domineering" and "white sand smoke". As for the area north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, Hard Candy Jun privately thinks that it is the hardest-hit area that can be nominated for the "rap depression". When northerners engage in rap, they should try to avoid singing like counting treasures, lotus flowers, and turning ......
Who asks, the southern dialect is a match made in heaven to put trap, and the northern Mandarin is often reminiscent of Allegro?
Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar Rap Version
"Cross talk, sketches, magic acrobatics. Storytelling, jokes, rap art. East, west, north and south, please see, Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar, Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar! (second upgrade key) "The northern dialect rap in the audition of "New Rap 2024" really makes Hard Candy Jun dream back to "Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar".
Holly Sakuragi from Pingdingshan, Henan, the rhythm of flow is particularly like "four dollars for one dollar in Wowotou". Rap word "We make the prey bigger, the pattern piu, open!" I just hate that I can't make a voice, otherwise you will comfort him like Da Zhang Wei: "It's good to have a class." ”
Another "Henan rap 'god'" from the Central Plains is regarded as having high hopes, and the program brought a passage from the hit song "Factory". Hard Candy Jun has seen this MV before, and I feel that with the accompaniment and pictures, I can clearly feel the powerlessness of the peasant class that he wants to express with the tide of the times. But a cappella in the show is too much like reading a text. It can't be said that it is not infectious, but in reality, you will think that this brother has encountered something, and the kind noodle restaurant owner will give him a free order.
Importantly, some of the lyrics are still castrated. "If I don't succeed in doing good deeds, then I will become bad" in the program became "If I don't succeed in doing good deeds, then I am not surprised", "She saw the farmers scolded on the Internet, and she blamed herself for not giving me a better environment" in the program became "She saw agriculture and forestry painted on the Internet". The lack of melody in a cappella and the mainstream scissor hands make "Factory" in the variety show not as moving as in the short video.
Echo Wang Enzhe brought a rap in northern Shaanxi, and netizens in the same IP area clearly felt what "mother tongue shame" is. "It's almost eliminated, I'm embarrassed to hear it from northern Shaanxi." Hold on, Wang Juda This is a Shaanxi aristocratic accent, and a sentence is worth a building in Qujiang. People come to the show to prove that you can rap in northern Shaanxi, and you are too faceless. Xiulian was confused when she saw this performance: "Shao'an, have you entered the rap circle?" ”
"Now I'm not just going to settle the championship, but I'm going to let my brothers listen to their cards. I roar, you listen to the order. Let you see that you want to chain (chain, homonym money) don't die! As soon as he spoke, I felt like he was going to "hammer starving". This little taste is so authentic, and a big brother wrapped in a headscarf appeared in front of Hard Candy Jun's eyes, and he was taking his younger brother to eat buns at the door of my house.
Li Bangbang Muti from Tianjin, the rhythm and vibe in front are very good. The style of painting suddenly changed from the sentence "I am from Tianjin, let's speak some Tianjin", how exaggerated, I feel that a pair of invisible allegro appeared in the air. "Do you want to compare, brother compare, do you sing (rap) or do you want to warm (culture)?"
Some viewers ridiculed him for coming to the wrong place and should go to Deyun Club. Coincidentally, another Tianjin player, V.O.B, Zhang Gansen, directly cued Lao Guo. "I do the real rap, the purity is the soup my mom makes. I make money in Tianjin by talking, and I am like Guo Degang. It is suggested that the program team immediately introduce the singing artist Gangzi as a flight instructor, and Gangzi immediately gave an extra chain when he came, and the other mentors asked why, Gangzi said: "Because I am good." ”
The Henan punchline of "Panda Five-Point Pants" is also deafening, "The tone of the braised noodles is smashed, because the Chinese rap is in the surname." "Looking at it this way, I can also change the Henan opera "Mulan", Liu Houmi's speech is too biased, who said that Henan rappers enjoy leisure? ”
Where is the dialect rap depression?
"Come is come and go is go, nod yes shake your head no, want to say hello and shout hello, hello, haha!" At the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, teacher Zhao Lirong performed the last sketch "Veteran Horse". The story of the old lady who worked hard to practice dialect and English in order to welcome foreign friends, I don't know how many people started Chinese rap.
On the godmother of Chinese rap, no one can bypass Zhao Lirong. "Tango is walking and walking" in "Mom's Today", "Palace Jade Liquor, One Hundred and Eighty Glasses" in "Part-time Job Adventure", and "Flowering in Spring, Fourteen or Sixteen" in "So Packaged" are all talked about, and even become a kind of muscle memory.
The people of Yanzhao have not only been chivalrous since ancient times, but also rappers. When Gao gradually left the building to send Jing Ke, the sentence "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold" must have flow. In "So Packaged", Zhao Lirong didn't understand what rap was, so Gong Hanlin told her that it was a "foreign allegro". It's a pity that Hebei rap got up early in the morning, but rushed to a late set. In "New Rap 2024", Hard Candy Jun didn't even see a Hebei player.
As for Bald 2Z's Beijing rap, he was also ridiculed for being too clear to speak like a number of treasures. The controversy of rapping in the Beijing dialect is that it is too close to Mandarin and there is no sense of alienation. Of course, the benefits are also obvious, you can put aside the rhyme and press it to death with "children". Contestant Keiko said too much, almost like a program team. "The champion of the new rap should have it first, he has to be a Beijinger." Relying on the two of you alone, it's hard to blow the wind of Beijing-style rap.
The pinnacle level of the two should be the previous performance on TWH radio "Northern Faction", also known as "Bald Radiance". The pure Beijing flavor of boombap is designed with a variety of details to make people shine. It may be that the "network rap" in recent years is too scary, resulting in the bald man's bad luck in variety shows. In the first season of the new rap, the bird cage was cut, the doubles match blew up the field and Wu signed the black, and the necklace was collected in the second season. After so many years, the same group of people have become mentors, and Bald and Teruko are still players.
The phonetic characteristics of Beijing dialect are that the length of the light syllables is significantly shorter than that of the previous syllable, and the pitch is determined by the tone of the previous syllable. The initials and finals are sometimes accompanied by varying degrees of weakening of vowels and consonants, such as the centralization of the main vowels, the dullness of the non-aspirated stops and fricatives, and the loss of nasal rhyme tails.
Based on this, the Beijing dialect is inherently suitable for boombap, just as the Sichuan dialect is inherently suitable for trap, and the Northwest dialect is naturally suitable for drill. Boombap is characterized by rhythm and drum beats, and the main structure of the drum beat is a kick (kick drum) plus a snare (snare). Then, the people of Hebei, who are deeply influenced by the Jingyun drum, are naturally suitable for boombap.
Hard Candy Jun firmly believes that as long as you find a suitable form of rap, there is no law that northern dialects are not suitable for rapping. Of course, in order to distinguish it from traditional opera, rappers should deliberately avoid Northeast rap turning into two-person turns, North China rap turning into Lotus Falling Allegro, and Northern Shaanxi rap turning into "Shandandan Blossoming Red Yanyan".
Local rap and urban image
The locality of dialect rap is reflected in the auditory recognition of the image of the city. Even if you use the city to increase the fun and identity of rap music, rap can also add a lot to the city's cultural tourism.
In a successful dialect rap, there must be a rich picture of life and character symbols. Xie Di mentioned in "This is Chengdu" that "Gaiwan tea basks in the sun and plucks out his ears", the hidden combination of "In Beijing" describes "most of them ride bicycles" and "Xidan bought a T-shirt", "Changsha Ce Changsha" writes "60-year-old and Kewuyi Square plays board", Uncle in "My Home is in the Northeast" lists the brilliant achievements of the eldest son of the Republic in heavy industry, and Ha Kejie sings in "Guangdong" that "there are many great people like Sun Yat-sen"......
Behind the dialect rap is the identity of the singer. The experience and memory of music in turn constructs new identities and communities, further connecting rap music, identity, and sense of place. The sluggish rap culture in some dialect areas may not be due to the inherent disadvantage of pronunciation, but because the high degree of urbanization has made the regional landscape more and more homogeneous, and it is impossible to say that there is no distinctiveness.
Today's Jingyun rap writes about the life of Beijingers, and I am afraid it is difficult to have the feelings and classics of "Qianmen Love and Thoughts Big Bowl of Tea". At the beginning, "when my grandfather was young, he used to play here", rather than the current high-rise buildings and three-bedroom living rooms in the community. Han Hong and Wang Kai both sang "Hanyangmen Garden" (dialect songs are not rap) is also nostalgic, "When I was a child, there were so many people on the democratic road, and outsiders came to Hanyangmen to see the bridge." Of course, this is not against the superiority of villagers coming to the city, but the powerlessness of the rapid change of the urban landscape.
The reason why "New Rap 2024" has so many whole jobs is that gimmicks and chain grabbing are on the one hand, and regional lack is on the other. Sister Wang Aonan fused the flute with the vocals, and when she was praised for being creative, some people called her cheating in a cappella.
The nail rake brother "pickled pepper peanut" held a telescopic nail rake on the field, and the description of the region was very rough. "The canopy is in Peng County, and next door is Pi County. The body can be trained, but the fat must be refined. "What Peng County, what Pi County? As a native of Chengdu, Hard Candy Jun tells you that all of them are Chengdu's "nine districts and twelve counties". When the city's plate grows bigger and bigger, it is obvious that the original locality is swallowed up.
The Northeast coat brother "Wang Tian" put on a military coat, "The top bright gold, the top bright matchmaker, our own tunes will blow by ourselves, the wandering compatriots will return quickly, our Northeast will never be inferior!" "The little words are very good, but a cappella is too dry to let the tutor taste the chaff. According to his own interpretation, the lyrics are taken from the Northeast Hulan writer Xiao Hong's "Letter to the Northeast Compatriots in Exile". The problem is that your flow is too cheerful and destroys the heavy connotation, so you have to replace it with the choked feeling of "Henan Rap God".
Regional cultures are gradually being smoothed out, and dialects are being abandoned by a new generation of parents in parent-child education. The children in the bilingual kindergarten have a more native English accent than the old man in London, but they can't speak a few dialects. I don't know if dialect rap will become an intangible cultural heritage in another 20 years. But in the face of players with frequent strange moves, Hard Candy Jun still wants to diss:
Put away your spatula props, rap isn't a cooking competition. Dialects are characteristic, not competitive, and if you mess around abstractly, you will be confined. TIME!
