Recently, the program that rappers "hate" the most is "The Voice of Heaven". VAVA, Wanida, and Li Jialong folded one after another, which made the morale of the Chinese rap circle low. And last night, the show ushered in Chinese rap circle real Young OG, NOUS manager Pict.
Compared with the other three new generation rappers who have rapidly emerged in the past five years, The difference in Paker's origin and musical career experience makes Pecker's personality and temperament more ghetto than that of other rising stars. In solidarity with VAVA, Piket spoke directly after the fermentation of the previous incident: let Ding Taisheng know what good lyrics and flow are!
In fact, as early as in the music variety show "Our Band", Pict, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to play with the band, encountered a wave of malicious editing. And he did not swallow his anger, but directly sent a long Weibo back to the program group. As for the problem of the program group's "set-up", Piket also responded positively in the program.
It can be seen that Piket's own personality is biased towards honesty, and ordinary audiences and music critics may not be able to understand and appreciate his works of art. Under the blessing of such a layer of background, everyone thought that there would be a fierce collision between him and the "sound group" of "The Voice of Heaven", but they did not expect that the painting style was completely different from what we expected.
Parkert's performance today chose to cooperate with music partner Hu Haiquan, the two have been friends as early as 2018, and a sad song "Forget" has been well received. It is worth mentioning that at that time, Yuquan was still a group, and Chen Yufan's music career was terminated due to drug use a month after the release of the song, which could not help but be lamented. This time on the stage of "The Voice of Heavenly Gifts", this song "Forget" will naturally not be sung by the original team, and Chen Yufan's position has been replaced by Li Zixuan, who participated in "Creation 101".
Before singing, Hu Haiquan thought that Piket could "extend the richness of the song's feelings", and in fact Pikett did achieve this. His connotative and profound Verse complements Hu Haiquan's Vocal, allowing listeners to focus on his lyrics. The phrase "we must be serious on this stage" before the opening of the singing also seems to have some deep meaning.
In fact, whether it is "Rap Listens to Me" as a producer recently, or "China New Rap" as a contestant longer ago, Pikett's business ability does not need to be questioned. He can dedicate stages such as "People and Mountains" and "Y", which have received a lot of praise, but often the evaluators lack a certain vision.
"People and Mountains" received so few votes that Liu Was almost eliminated; after the 60s performance of "China New Rap", Deng Ziqi told him that "the general public does not know what flow is", although Piket nodded modestly, but his heart obviously did not accept this statement.
Speaking of which, it was the seriousness with which the stage was made by Pict. From 2018 to 2020, Pikett is an indispensable name in the "China Hip Hop Awards Ceremony" and "Fusion Hip Hop Awards Ceremony". From the most popular male rapper to the best independent music label, from the best Chinese rap album to the best Chinese rap MV, from the best Cypher work to the most popular rap single, and the best Chinese rap single that won the award in the first year and was nominated for three consecutive years... Piket has won almost all the nominations.
The award he has been nominated for for three consecutive years, in addition to the weighty "Best Chinese Rap Single", is the "Best Lyricist" award that Ding Taisheng values most. Also with his three consecutive years of nomination, only each time positively responded to Ding Taisheng's AR and had been with Ding Taisheng's kung fu fat. Therefore, Pikett's lyrics skills have always been worry-free.
What people are most concerned about is whether the flow that was once considered "difficult for the public to understand" by Deng Ziqi is excellent, and whether it can be "understood by everyone". So I focused almost entirely on observing the changes in flow. It turned out that I was completely unpretentious, and Pict unbelievably played flow out of its own characteristics while taking into account the sense of hearing, so that people could know that it was Parkert's signature flow and lyrics cutting technique at the first listen, without letting non-rap listeners have too much rejection in the sense of hearing.
After the performance, Meng Meiqi, the music partner under the stage, cried, although it was more because she saw the little sister Li Zixuan in the past, but she may also be moved by the lyrics of Pikett and Hu Haiquan. Then Hu Haiquan said, "We should let Xiao Pai say that in fact, he is very senior, and I think he is a very respected person in which field." This passage also reaffirms Pictet's Young OG identity.
Pict's point is fairly simple: everything you want to say is in the song. And he feels to himself, "The rhyme of this song is still well written." Ding Taisheng took over the conversation with a smile at this time, and said with a little deep meaning, "It's a very good singing", and Piket also responded as we expected, "Not bad".
The two sides gradually had a bit of a tense atmosphere, and Ding Taisheng repeated what he said to Wanida and Li Jialong: "Because there are other rappers on this stage, I think I can sing well." At the same time that VAVA was ruthlessly consumed again, Pict once again stressed that "I think I sing very well", as if Ding Taisheng's criticism of Pict was also on the string.
However, Ding Taisheng's words turned sharply, saying, "This is a very advanced expression you just made, both in form (and connotation). Then Ding Taisheng began to read the reader mode again, reading "Is the mark of growth supposed to be not to be investigated who gives up". He also said very youngly, "Actually, I prefer the last one", and read out this sentence "Only the last sentence is unforgettable or force majeure".
Perhaps in Ding Taisheng's view, Piket's lyrics have achieved the so-called "poetry", so he directly praised. But he may not know that Pict fought against his despised VAVA in the first "Listen Up", and that year Pict's "Y" won the "best lyricist" of the whole competition; in "China New Rap" and his despised kung fu fat 1v1 Battle, he also belonged to the same team. Sometimes fate is so wonderful.
And Pikett's response to this comment was also quite polite. He first called "Teacher Ding" as he wrote in Weibo, and then began to speak: "In fact, I also want to use this opportunity to tell you that rap does not necessarily have to be exploded, it has to be burning, 2021 has already been." I think you should be the same (understood). [I want] to have the opportunity to bring you all kinds of rap possibilities, it can also be narrative, it can also be a statement, it can also be to express an emotion, thank you. ”
Hao Lei, who had a strong sense of existence for rappers in previous issues, did not evaluate Pikett's performance, but focused on praising Hu Haiquan. But in the end, he also believes, "I think this work is the most complete one today." All in all, compared with previous periods, today's "Voice of Heavenly Gifts" has the feeling of "China's New Rap" compared to "China Has Hip Hop", peace is more than enough and the confrontation is insufficient, which makes people not enjoy it enough.
Of course, Pict was able to conquer the strict Ding Taisheng, which was also "honorable" for rap listeners, and there was a feeling of winning the battle and raising his eyebrows - although the lyrics and performance were actually the business of Pict alone. Understanding this truth, we seem to be able to read Ding Taisheng's mentality: he may really evaluate rap music based on his own preferences, completely straight to the chest, good straight to say good, bad straight to say bad.
Piket's stage victory this time fulfilled his own previous promise. It is foreseeable that rappers will not speak out on this matter in a large area, and may at most be sporadic "following the trend" of Piket. Of course, Ding Taisheng is not a standard, he does not like VAVA Vanida, prefers Peckart, but also his personal preference, these rappers will not be divided into good and bad because of his likes and dislikes, they are the same as the mainstay of the Chinese rap circle...
