Chapter 521 Rap Music

Compared to the final champion of "Jiuzhou Song Festival", many Jiuzhou listeners still pay more attention to Lin Qiu, who makes Lin Qiu's songs so classic.

However, the revelations of the guest singers continue to attract the attention of the crowd!

For example, the guest singers of Milia and Xi Suo are all first-line singers in Mizhou, and they have landed in Xiazhou one after another, but the only one who surprised all the audience is the absolute OG of the current Jiuzhou rap circle-Jansen!

"Rapper?"

"Impossible, Milia and Xi Suo's guest singers have been confirmed. Although a singer can invite multiple guests, rap and their styles don't match?"

"Hiss..."

"Will it be Lin Qiu?"

"Lin Qiu is going to do rap?!"

"Oh my, didn't they say that the guest singer is Tang An Ning, what is Lin Qiu going to do?"

"Every possibility is possible to happen to Lin Qiu..."

...

Rap music.

This should be said to be the hottest music type in the current Jiuzhou music scene, no one else.

According to statistics, more than 30% of the live on-demand music on all audio and video streaming platforms in Jiuzhou are rap music works. The current B list is even more dominated by rap music. This is more obvious in the previous life than in this world!

In the previous life, after rock music fell from the altar, rap music dominated the music scene from the streets to the mainstream for several years, and there was no sign of stopping. In 2020, more than half of the top ten albums in the world were rap albums, which is evident.

In the previous life in China, there are actually similarities between rap and rock.

First of all, the core of the two.

The core of rock music is to do what you want and love whoever you want!

The core of rap music is to stay true to yourself and I am the best!

There are similarities in the core.

Let’s talk about music again. Before the 21st century, domestic rock music ushered in the peak of prosperity. Dou Wei’s Black Panther Band, Cui Jian, Xu Wei and others were all very popular.

But the problem is that Dou Wei, the leader of rock music at that time, left Black Panther, which greatly reduced his influence.

The situation of rap music is somewhat similar to that of rock music. At that time, the rapper Song Yueting, a genius of domestic rap music who influenced a generation of musicians, died of illness at the age of 23, leaving behind a Chinese classic "Life's A Struggle".

In 2004, with the song "Life's A Struggle", the late Song Yueting won the Best Lyricist Award at the 15th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. Perhaps many people have no idea about this award, but the opponent defeated by this song that year was "Dongfeng Po", which is hailed as Jay's absolute masterpiece and pinnacle!

When rock music was gradually replaced by pop music in China, it was actually because of the sudden emergence of the genius Jay Chou. Even the proudest rock musicians have to admit this.

A leader is the key to the popularity of a style of song in a country and the key to influencing more younger musicians.

Returning to rap music itself, rap music actually has a very big advantage over other music, that is, its inclusiveness.

In fact, it can be heard from the styles of famous Chinese singers in the previous life that many of their songs have elements of rap music integrated into them, such as Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and the younger generation Deng Ziqi, and even Huahua.

The classics "In the Name of the Father" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" are all like this, but they integrate more elements of pop music. Just like pop rock, each region has its own music habits.

To be honest, the overall quality of Xiazhou's rap music is relatively poor, because Xiazhou itself does not have a culture of rap, which originated from black music. Forcing it is like putting a duck's head on a chicken. Although it can barely fit, it looks a little weird.

Looking at the development of rap music in the previous life, the development of localization was not very successful, but it was still approaching the world's pop music.

...

Whether it is music, novels or movies, Lin Qiu will not be limited to a small area.

The three songs in the previous "Jiuzhou Singer" had three styles like this. Lin Qiu had thought about this from the beginning of participating in "Jiuzhou Singer".

For the first round of singing styles, Lin Qiu's goal was to focus on the music type that may have the widest audience today.

The song he chose was one of the most classic live performances of the previous Grammy Awards.

It came from the white rap superstar Eminem, the black queen Rihanna, Skylar Grey, and the legendary rapper Dr. Dre. The absolute protagonist was Eminem!

It came from the medley of two classic songs "Love the way you lie" and "I need a doctor"!

This music scene has more than 20 million views even on the domestic B station far across the ocean, which shows the audience.

And the series of achievements created by these two songs themselves are even more exaggerated.

That’s right, Lin Qiu is going to create a classic stage that is more Grammy-worthy than the Grammy Awards at the Jiuzhou Song Festival!

Let the netizens’ words “this year’s Grammy Awards are in Xingcheng” become a reality!

For the last song, Lin Qiu chose a Chinese song.

It may be one of the Chinese music with the widest audience and the most far-reaching influence in the previous life!

…

In the blink of an eye.

The final day of "Jiuzhou Song Festival"! !

Because of Lin Qiu's sudden appearance, all the publicity about "Jiuzhou Song Festival" has reached its peak. When the "Jiuzhou Song Festival" program team confirmed that Lin Qiu's guest singers would be Tang Anning and the legendary rapper Johnson from Mizhou, it caused an unprecedented sensation!

Especially in Mizhou where rap music is very popular!

Lin Qiu has never released a serious rap music. This is another challenge for Lin Qiu in music! !

"Damn! Rap! I don't usually like to listen to this kind of music, I always feel like it's just howling, but if it's Lin Qiu, I'd like to see it!"

"Can Lin Qiu do it?"

"Don't worry, Lin Qiu is arrogant, he can handle a little rap music well, right?"

"The threshold for rap music is so low, how could Lin Qiu not be good at it?"

"No, no, no, you're wrong, the lower the threshold of the project, the harder it is to reach the top!"

"No matter what, the finals will be Lin Qiu's show!"

"I've been waiting in front of the TV for a long time!"

"I can hear Lin Qiu sing two songs tonight!!"

The heated discussion on the Internet continues!

With Lin Qiu's current status and popularity in Xiazhou, there must be some inferior Xiazhou rappers who come to take advantage of the popularity, but Lin Qiu's previous attainments and achievements in various music genres have already conquered the audience!

All the rappers who are really at the forefront of the industry know that Lin Qiu's rap music actually has a good role in promoting this type of music in Xiazhou, allowing all the listeners who are prejudiced against rap to listen.

Rap music is not only about money, women and cars.

…

Lin Qiu and Johnson met before the opening of the Washington Film Festival.

At that time, Lin Qiu and Johnson just drank a few glasses of wine, and did not expect to have a collaboration at this stage. When Lin Qiu needed such a singer, the first person he thought of was Johnson. Although they were just casual friends, Johnson agreed without any hesitation!

Is there any reason to refuse?

Lin Qiu's three songs on the show became popular all over the country!

Johnson was going to sing the last verse of Dr. Dre, which was not long and had no difficulty for Johnson. The rehearsal was also quite smooth. On the contrary, Tang Anning's singing skills were tested.

The choruses of these two songs are extremely difficult to perform, especially on the spot. Even the excellent singers Tian Huijie and Rihanna could not be said to have performed perfectly at the classic Grammy performance.

Moreover, Tang Anning knew the importance of this performance. It can be said that the whole world is paying attention to it, which is an invisible pressure for any guest singer.

…

After a long time, the most popular Jiuzhou phenomenon-level music variety show "Jiuzhou Concert" is about to usher in the birth of the champion.

The huge audience team and the media team came to the periphery of the Star City TV Building, watching the singers and guest singers participating in this final enter the hall.

After a period of intensive rehearsal and the final debugging of the equipment, the audience entered.

The sky gradually darkened.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xingcheng Satellite TV Channel.

The 14th episode of "Jiuzhou Concert", the live broadcast of the finals, officially began! !

: "All units, prepare, countdown for live broadcast."

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"..."

"Start."

...""Here we go!"

"Damn!"

"So excited!"

"I can hear Lin Qiu sing two songs tonight!"

"Yeah, Lin Qiu is 95% sure to be the champion. The only variable is Lin Qiu's first song. Rap ​​music may not be widely accepted!"

"Again, believe in Lin Qiu. The previous few performances have been more classic than the last!"

"Lin Qiu's music aesthetics is really too strong."

Music aesthetics.

If Lin Qiu heard this word, he would definitely smile.

When I say music aesthetics, it is not his own music aesthetics, but the music aesthetics of six billion listeners in his previous life. The songs selected by Lin Qiu are all among the most popular songs in their respective fields.

Can there be no music aesthetics? !

Just talking about the first performance tonight, it reached the peak of ratings in the past ten years at the Grammy Awards. This performance was the peak of the Grammy Awards that year!

Before the appearance of the white Eminem, Rap had always belonged to black people. With the prejudice of the world, he rushed to the Mount Rushmore of rap music. Eminem's experience itself is legendary enough.

As He Hua came on stage and read out the rules of the finals, the audience couldn't help but feel excited!

There is nothing much to say about the rules. The first round is for guests to help sing, the second round is for solo singing, and then the results of the 13th episode are added. The three performances are combined to produce the champion.

But at this point, who cares about the audience?

Everyone just wants to hear good songs in the show!

"Now, I declare the final of "Jiuzhou Song Festival" officially started!"

With the warm cheers of two thousand live audiences from Jiuzhou, this music feast finally kicked off!

"It's started! The finals have begun!"

"Who is the first one?"

"Finally here!"

"Teacher Tang!"

"Why is it Teacher Tang again! Teacher Tang fell in love with the first one to sing?"

"Oh my god! Did the four contestants discuss this time?"

The VCR from Tang Sheng was broadcast, and the first scene was to decide the order of the finals.

Interestingly, the order of the draw was all invalid this time. The order of the four singers was discussed and decided, and Lin Qiu's fourth finale was actually Xi Suo, Milia strongly requested!

They all wanted to stay on the scene to watch Lin Qiu's live performance after their own performances!

...

The singer invited by Tang Sheng is quite familiar to the audiences of Xiazhou, Teacher Luo Hong.

To be honest, when Tang Sheng first participated in the program, he thought that if he could enter the finals, he would sing a song with Tang An Ning, father and daughter, but who knew that Lin Qiu participated and directly "took away" his daughter, so Tang Sheng could only invite Luo Hong, the singer who was called "Xiazhou Twin Heroes" with him during his peak period.

It's just that Tang Sheng has been active in the music circle, and Teacher Luo Hong has not appeared to sing for a long time. This time, it is a huge surprise for all Xiazhou listeners!

"Luo Hong!"

"It's Luo Hong!"

"Didn't Luo Hong retire? I thought Luo Hong would never perform again!"

"Oh my god! My youth is back..."

"My tears are coming down before I even start singing!"

Many Xiazhou listeners, especially the older generation, felt their noses sore when they saw the two men in their fifties with gray hair on their temples. They felt the passage of time and could see the high-spirited appearance of Tang Sheng and Luo Hong when they were young!

Now, two people, each with a microphone, are sitting on the stage, as if telling the story of these years!

This song is the only song Luo Hong has created in the past seven or eight years. It is called "Years". In order to participate in the "Jiuzhou Song Festival", Tang Sheng wrote a new verse part, arranged and adapted it, and presented this song on the stage.

"Cut a period of time and walk into the dream -"

"Use the years to cross mountains and ridges."

"Dreams are whispering, the warmth of youth."

"The last dream is not far away or near..."

...

The moment Tang Sheng and Luo Hong's voices came out from the stage, many old audiences couldn't hold back!

Especially when they heard Luo Hong's voice, which was no longer as clear and loud as in his peak period, but hoarse and turbid, the sense of time was even more vividly displayed!

In the past seven or eight years, Luo Hong has almost stayed away from music and has not practiced his voice again, so in terms of the completeness of the song, it is definitely insufficient, but it perfectly matches the temperament of this song.

As soon as it came out, the audience could hear that Luo Hong was still the same Luo Hong!

Tang Sheng was slightly suppressed by Luo Hong at that time. The relationship between the two was not good at that time, but many years later, they met and laughed away their grudges and sang on the same stage. This feeling is really wonderful.

No matter how they sang, at least they all had smiles on their faces!
