Jay Chou's new view of "Chinese rap": speak less English and more dialects
Jay Chou, a legend in the Chinese music scene, recently showcased his musical wisdom and unique insights in a #rapDreamFactory# show. He gave the students a thought-provoking suggestion: when creating Chinese rap, try to use less English and incorporate more dialect elements. This suggestion not only aroused heated discussions among the students at the scene, but also set off a wave of heated discussions on social media about "how to innovate Chinese rap".
Chou Dong said that he is not opposed to adding English elements to his songs, but in the specific field of Chinese rap, he hopes to see singers dig deep and integrate local culture, and use dialects and other unique elements to create their own rap music. This point of view has been recognized and supported by many netizens. Some netizens said: "Jay Chou is right, our own music should have its own style, and dialect elements can better reflect local culture." ”
Dialect elements: the unique charm of Chinese rap
Jay Chou's suggestion this time is not groundless. In fact, dialects have always played an important role in Chinese music. From the early days of Cantonese songs to today's local dialect raps, dialect elements not only bring rich diversity to Chinese music, but also show the unique charm of each culture. Jay Chou himself has also skillfully integrated dialect elements into his songs, such as Shanghainese in "Father-in-law's Migraine" and Hokkien in "Grandma", which are impressive.
The Future of Chinese Rap: Innovation and Development
Jay Chou's suggestion has also sparked a discussion about the future direction of Chinese rap. There is a view that Chinese rap should pay more attention to the excavation and innovation of local culture in order to create musical works with unique charm. At the same time, there are also opinions that Chinese rap should be more international and absorb more diversified musical elements. There is truth to both of these arguments, but in any case, Chinese rap needs to constantly innovate and evolve to gain a place in the global music market.
Netizens' "God Comments"
Jay Chou's suggestion naturally sparked some controversy and discussion. Some netizens said: "Jay Chou is right! But you can't beat it to death with a stick, and some English lyrics can really better express the mood of the song. Some netizens ridiculed: "Jay Chou is 'forced' us to learn dialects!" However, more netizens still expressed their support and agreement with Jay Chou's point of view, believing that this is an important direction for the future development of Chinese rap.
Jay Chou's new chapter in "Chinese rap".
