In the case of the general sluggish popularity of several rap variety shows this year, iQiyi's "Junior Rap Project" barely led half a position with a strong mentor lineup, especially after the official announcement that the "rap big coffee group" also wanted to join the recording, the popularity of the show was no different for a while.
In the past two days, the recording of the four gong stages in which the "rap big coffee group" was deeply involved was finally over, and the rap masters we were familiar with and the rap couples in the show completed the cooperative performance. Subsequently, there was a 1v1 duel between the players, and the final decision was made to the national top 8.
The specific competition conditions are: the top three of the cooperative competition directly advanced to the national top 8, and the first, second and third places were GAI and "Shanlan", which cooperated with home in a moment, "Moon Circle" cooperated by Li Jialong and Ksovii, and "Instructor" cooperated by Huang Xu and Mo Suo.
The remaining 9 players played a 1v1 duel, with Cool, Bounce, JBcob and Lil Milk winning 1v1, and Capper advancing because no one challenged.
Therefore, the top 8 in the country for "Junior Rap Project" are: Wait a minute and go home, Ksovii, Mosso, Xiaoku, Anti-Return, JBcob, lil milk and Capper.
Some readers may not have seen an issue of "Junior Rap Planning", or have only seen the clips of the program / pure enjoyment stage, lack of some overall understanding of the program, this issue of the tweet to give you a popular science of these contestants.
The first thing to say is that the contestants who have participated in the show before this year and have a certain reputation in the circle include Capper, Xiaoku, Lil Milk and Mosso. Among them, Capper and Xiao Ku are both contestants of "China New Rap 2019".
Xiao Ku made the big fool exclaim in the audition link that year, "(The hot dog gave the promotion necklace) to a child", and he got the promotion necklace from the death group of Sun Xiao and others such as Theo Wudu with his excellent fast mouth technology. But in the subsequent 60s 1v1 Battle, XiaoKu lost to Severn from CSC because of a mistake and failed to go further.
After that, Xiao Ku participated in "China New Rap 2020" and successfully entered Zhang Liangying's "Anon" label, but he was eliminated in the 1v1 Battle with the killer and left the show early again. In "Junior Rap Project", Xiao Ku finally came to the big late stage of the show and was able to show more strength.
Capper, who participated in "China New Rap 2019" with Xiao Ku, was much more dazzling, and he and V.O .B showed outstanding strength in the 60s 1v1 Battle, and "carrying the banner of the post-00s" became one of Capper's most famous labels. Subsequently, Capper passed the level and successfully entered the hot dog Zhang Zhenyue team, and killed the top 14 in the country, and finally defeated the fog and was eliminated.
But judging by Capper's age at the time, everyone believed his future was much more than that. Sure enough, this time in the "Junior Rap Project", Capper became a big devil level player, and he could even use the man's lyrics to say: "No one dared to choose me at 1v1!" ”
Lil Milk comes from last year's high-open and low-going "Rap Listen to Me", and his work is one of the reasons why "Rap Listen to Me" can be called "high-open". His performance of "Moonlight" on the show became a veritable Hit Song, which also proved his strength in melodic rap. Lil Milk, which won the praise of producers, also went all the way to the top 11 position in the country.
This time in "Junior Rap Project", although lil milk's performance shots are not many, no one will underestimate him who looks gentle and generous.
Mo Suo is from "China New Rap 2020", he contributed the famous scene of the whole show in the audition link - in the face of the assessment of the new label manager GAI, blurting out "respect dog brother", GAI asked "who am I" with a confused face, and the scene was once very embarrassing.
However, Mo Suo's strength is still online, and GAI did not consider the previous small problems and gave Mo Suo the promotion necklace. Even in the 100s knockout round, GAI also chose Mo Suo to enter its own label, but Mo Suo, like XiaoKu, was eliminated in the 1v1 Battle of the label.
This time in the "Junior Rap Project", Mosso said to be the ceiling of China's future Drill, and several of the songs currently broadcast are fierce Derill, and it can be seen that he is indeed prepared.
After talking about the four contestants who have previously emerged in various programs, the next thing to talk about is the other four who entered the audience's field of vision through "Junior Rap Project" this year. Interestingly, the four of them, Ksovii, Anti-Return and JBcob, are not too similar, and can even be labeled with a common label - "atmospheric rap".
All four contestants are "unconventional" rappers with outstanding Vocal abilities that can create popular melodies. But in terms of rap skills, there is no too wonderful performance, and even in the current broadcast of the program content, he bluntly said that he was still a newcomer to Rap.
The meaning of the label of "atmosphere rap" is that these four contestants are quite good at creating their own musical atmosphere, although they are all good at melody, but there is a difference in emotional communication. Wait a minute and go home like a cheerful pastoral poet, from his leading "We run barefoot under the windmill, the dog's tail grass on the hand shakes and shakes" and "Heaven and Earth in the Pocket, I am a leaf piece" can feel his leisure and cheerfulness.
Ksovii's style is somewhat similar to waiting to go home, but his musical tone is not as cheerful as waiting to go home, like the nostalgia of "Henan Folk Song" and the determination of "Farewell Party of the Galaxy Highway", all of which are covered with a layer of relative sadness. At the same time, he has not changed as much in Flow as he can wait and go home, and the rap skills presented so far are relatively simple.
If Ksovii is sad, then the tone of the music is decadent. As an all-round musician with excellent arrangement ability, the works of the reversal have an extremely strong personal color, and even if you cooperate with rappers who are accustomed to cheerful emotions such as waiting to go home, the works of the return are still heavy.
From "I'm Just Selfish" to "Loop" to "Sleepy", the music of the reversal brings the listener to some emotions that are considered "negative", but the listener is often unable to extricate herself, which is her charm.
If waiting and going home is cheerful, then JBcob is simply "cheerful". Even for love songs on the theme of "Why Leave", it is not difficult to feel the positive emotions of JBcob.
In "Where to Go Hi" and "Full of Love", JBcob is completely himself, cheerful and jumpy, bringing the atmosphere of the whole audience to hi. In the opening part of "Full of Love", JBcob is also the one who encourages Lingchao not to emo, and the character of the optimist is like an innate.
After introducing the top 8 players, we naturally have to predict who will break through the siege and become the final champion of this competition. According to the introduction just now, the four "new faces" of Wait a Minute home, Ksovii, Reverse Return and JBcob are almost interesting in terms of rap skills, and to really become a champion, unless there is an extremely powerful work like GAI, technology must be the most important consideration.
Throughout the years of rap variety champions, from PG One to Yang and Su to JD and Lazy, these champions are all close to impeccable in terms of technology. Even GAI and Egger, who are not very technical, have strong basic skills. Therefore, these four newcomers may be able to go further, but it is basically useless to compete for the championship.
Looking at the 4 "old faces", lil milk is also more in line with the characteristics of the above 4 "new faces", if he does not have a particularly stunning performance in the later stage, the probability will also be reduced to a companion. Mosso is well versed in Drill, but he is very likely to suffer from a single style, and it is difficult for the audience to make any further progress after the audience has aesthetic fatigue. Looking at it this way, the only people with the potential to compete for the championship are Xiaoku and Capper.
Both Cool and Capper have good skills, but the two go in different directions. Cool pursues a clear fast mouth similar to Yang and Sue, but Capper has always been a good player at playing Mumble Rap. When styles are difficult to compare, stage experience may determine the final championship. Compared with Xiaoku, Capper has already become famous, and the scenes he has acted in in the past few years are much more than Xiaoku.
On the other hand, Capper's personality is more cheerful and outward-looking, and XiaoKu is relatively calm and introverted, which means that Capper can get more exposure. At the same time, Capper's relationship with the BOSS group is also quite good, he is the little brother of the dog brother, and he is also one of the breaking points of "China New Rap 2019", which must be Che Che's favorite. Taken together, Capper is on the road to the championship, the obstacles are the fewest, and the one with the most chances.
And this kind of prediction is not our family's word. In fact, from the beginning of the show, there are many people who predict that Capper is the ultimate champion, or that they just want to watch the show for Capper. And the motivation for this kind of statement is also easy to understand -
After all, Capper was born in the "China New Rap 2019" without an age limit, and it was completely unreal to compete with the big fools of the rap mentor group and the big coffee troupe of Nai Wan, Yang hesu, Huang Xu and other people. And after a few years of precipitation, and then put him into an age-restricted show, it is simply a bug-like existence, and he is sorry for his previous performance without winning the championship.
Of course, the prediction is based on the prediction, the current program only recorded in the national top 8, and no one knows how to decide the champion in the future. Even, whether there is a "champion" setting, I think we have to say twice, after all, this year's various rectification of variety shows has been cut on iQiyi, in case they make a big Peace, do not set the champion, the embarrassment is those of us who predicted...
