Hello everyone, I am the King of Pigeons in Nanjing, and today I still bring you the reaction of "Rap New Generation".
When I wrote this show every week before, someone left a message in the comment area, thinking that the work of "Rap New Generation" was not enough.
I think there are two main reasons for this problem, one is that compared to the other two shows, most of the rappers in "Rap New Generation" are not famous, and even many are not professional rappers, so that everyone looks down on one from the root.
The main business is to sell watches raw fan
Another reason is that compared with "China New Rap", the works in "Rap New Generation" really do not have "Hip-Hop Inner Taste", which I have no way to give direct evidence, but I think that friends who are accustomed to listening to American Hip-Hop like me must have such a feeling.
In fact, as long as you change your thinking, the show itself is called "Rap New Generation", not "Hip-Hop New Generation", and the value that has always been emphasized is "everything can be rapped".
Rap is just one element of Hip-Hop, for a music show, whether the work can resonate with more people may be the key, whether there is a "Hip-Hop flavor" may not be so important.
At least in this episode, there are many works that can resonate with me.
This episode is still 1v1battle, and after a day's rest, the competition has also entered a white-hot stage. The rapper who appeared in the first group was Sweet, against Xia Zhiyu, who had always raised his hand but had never been selected.
Xia Zhiyu appeared first, and the lyrics of his "Hometown" were heavily modified, but fortunately, Xia Zhiyu's words were very clear, and he could understand what he was singing without looking at the subtitles.
This song tells the story of Xia Zhiyu's growth experience, his parents should be workers who come to work in state-owned enterprises from other places, and some friction will inevitably occur with the local indigenous people. With the reform of state-owned factories, many workers were laid off, and locals began to make a fortune by relying on reform and opening up.
The second passage is interspersed with memories of street life in adolescence, and every young person fantasizes about becoming the pheasant and Honan in "Ancient Puzzle Boy", which is also a memory of a generation.
Regarding this story, Xia Zhiyu can show great grandeur, and even write about how he was bullied and how it is not easy, but he used a restrained method to completely portray the tide of the times from the perspective of a bystander, making people relaxed and not lacking in thinking.
Sweet's "Old Liu" I've heard for a long time, from his 2017 album "Making Music in Pain." Sweet's father was paralyzed in bed when he was young, and the song is deep and thick, expressing his love and longing for his father.
NetEase Yunli commented on him like this: The real rapper is precious in the era of consumption first, and now you will also have your children and daughters, leaving the tube building that you don't want to go back to, but you want to hug the old Liu who lives in the tube building, if there is a next life, I still hope that you are my father.
Sweet's flow on the stage touched all the rappers present. After watching this show for several episodes, only the affection in the song can be touched, and the father-son relationship in the affection is the easiest to pierce the heart defense, this song is the best in my heart.
In the end, Sweet won by a score of 68-33, and I think there is nothing wrong with Sweet winning, but the gap between Xia Zhiyu and him should not be so large.
Teacher Tang's "Mountain City Man" is a very comfortable Chongqing dialect trap, while mobilizing the atmosphere of the whole venue, it does not make people feel a strong sense of oppression, just two words: comfortable.
More than a decade ago, dialect rap was once the easiest form of rap in China to go out of the circle, and it has a very strong vitality throughout the country, until today, many of my classmates mentioned that rap is still D-Evil's "Drinking Wontons" and "Squeezing The Bus".
Works like "Mountain City Man" may not be able to become popular nationwide, but works like this that tell the stories around ordinary people may have a good degree of singing in Chongqing.
In contrast, although Doggie's "Missed Call" is also good in terms of completion, neither the theme of the love song nor the arrangement of flow has a particularly memorable flash.
In the end, Teacher Tang won 55-45, which can be said to be without great suspense.
Geding is also the producer GZ, and the inspiration for this song "Lupin III" comes from the love of Lupin III for Feng Buji's son in the work of the same name, and Feng Buzi is also the following royal sister.
"Lupin III" is a Japanese national anime, but the popularity in China is not high, so not many people can get the connotation of Jiding's work.
Originally, the values of the original work were somewhat biased towards hippie romanticism, so Gideon's performance was without any problems, and the harmony of the xylophone and the accompaniment dance of XTINA were also a plus.
The key is also that this is a fan-oriented music, so it has not resonated with more people.
Jiang Naisheng's song is also a love song, which is about the emotional entanglement between himself and his ex-girlfriend, and the overall arrangement is also popular, although the Hook in the middle of Jiang Naisheng is a little nervous, it is not bad.
In the end, Giding had 46 votes and Jiang Naisheng 52 votes, and although the producer did not understand Giding's work, he still gave him more tickets, and for the audience, Jiang Naisheng's work was more acceptable.
TangoZ's "Hostility" is technically blameless, and the lyrics are also very deep, describing the scene of the current rap circle's understanding of brothers and loves to engage in confrontation, listening to tap feels that boombap soil, listening to boombap feels that tap has no culture, and a musical style can also have a sense of superiority.
This song scolds what these people do, telling you not to go with the flow and take sides. TangoZ's own tone is not outstanding, slightly sharp, probably the only drawback of this song.
Ma Siwei and the dog brother fought for half a day laziness and TangoZ technology is stronger or weaker, in my opinion, the technology alone is still TangoZ is much stronger, laziness is better than the feeling of comfortable listening and sincere feelings.
"Mom Pray For Me", written for his deceased mother, is emotionally unpretentious, not deliberately sensational, not over-rendered, and is a pretty good work.
Many people feel that laziness is from Battle MC, thinking that he is the kind of aggressive rapper, but in fact, his style is quite changeable, and we will interview Lazy later to show you his story.
In short, these two songs have a technical attitude and one has emotions and expressions, just like the result of a draw, depending on which one you like.
Sundae's "Catherine" is made by himself, and it is very brilliant in its fit with the accompaniment, and there is an impulse to nod in the rhythm, and the description of the girl who loves to raise fish is also very good.
The stage design of the last building up is quite exquisite, and the whole audience is mobilized by calling my mother, and the atmosphere is very good.
Shi Xin Wenyue's "Tintin Cat" at the beginning I did not understand, after listening to it twice, my mind was only left with "Tintin Cat ~ Ding Ding Cat ~", Shi Xin Wenyue's flow is too brainwashed, and even let people not care about his lyrics.
In the end, Sundae won by a margin of 51 to 49 votes, and producers preferred Sundae's more mature work in comparison.
The last group of Zhang Yuge and Shi Xitong's works do not have "Hip-Hop Inner Taste". One is "Wind", which integrates rap under the framework of national style, and the other is "Harbour", which is integrated into rap under the popular framework.
I took two songs to my friend who had never heard to sing, and he thought that the ancient style of the song "Wind" was better, and the Humai in the back was also quite interesting, and said that it was better than the previous pure "Lao Liu".
It makes me feel that maybe the kind of Hip-Hop I like is still a niche.
You can also take a rap you like, and compare these two songs with your friends who have not heard of singing, and see which work they prefer, there may be a different answer.
At the end of the show, 1v1Battle ended, Wan Saiwen, XTINA, Xia Zhiyu, TangoZ, Shark Fin, AK, Xiao Qiang, Nachiwolf successfully advanced, and the other rappers were eliminated.
When TY. was eliminated, the hot dog took the initiative to hug TY., and they met with a smile and a grudge, and the beef between rappers was more or less the same.
After this episode, I feel that "Rap New Generation" has given me a satisfactory work, what do you think of this episode of the show?
