What are the characteristics of China's rap music?

Rap music has the following characteristics: 1, narrative? In order to clearly convey complex stories, rap music is mainly narrative tunes. Mainly use rap, rap, rap, rap and rap tunes to tell stories. At the same time, many of its tunes have both narrative and lyrical elastic functions: when the speed is slow and the tunes are decorated more, they are suitable for expressing lyrical and euphemistic characters or sad emotions; When the speed is moderate and the tune is concise, it is suitable to express a calm mood and objectively tell the development of the story; When the speed is fast and the tune fluctuates, it is suitable to express cheerful, excited or angry emotions. Because of this feature, the conversion between narrative and lyricism of rap music is convenient and coordinated.

2. Narration and endorsement want to use a multi-angle expression method in combination with rap music. In the process of telling and singing stories, the first-person narrator is also used, that is, a story character in the first person. The narrator objectively tells the development of the story, and the endorsement simulates the tone, expression, posture and personality of the characters in the story, and accurately expresses the voice, appearance and smile of my things. This kind of simulation does not depend on the gender, timbre, makeup and props of the actor, but on the expression, tone and limited posture and movements of one or two rappers. So rappers should emphasize the similarity of characters. From this perspective, the performance of rap appreciation is more difficult. The rapper can't completely enter the role, but can only go in and out, sometimes it is the simulation of the role, and sometimes it needs to be accompanied by objective narration and evaluation. This pingtan artist once compared this method of expression with China's traditional opera performance. He said, "Performance is the representation in appearance, and pingtan is the representation in appearance." Because of this performance nature, rap music needs to choose the tune, which is not only convenient for telling stories, but also can make the finishing point to portray the vivid images of the characters.

3. The close combination of music and language? The art of rap itself is the art of language. Rap scripts first depict characters in tone, intonation, wording and sentence form, and then highlight and exaggerate language expression with music. The close combination of music and language is mainly reflected in two points-the rhythm of tone. The traditional vocal music art of Han nationality has accumulated rich experience in dealing with the relationship between cavity and words, such as: based on words, words are clear and round; The cavity turns with the word, and the word leads the cavity; Speak in words, seek sound and meaning, and wait. At present, there are a set of remedies such as "variable cavity collocation" and "variable cavity collocation" when cavity words can't match. Rap music inherits this achievement of traditional vocal art, and Chinese has more advantages in the rhythm of language. Shen Xiaolong, a linguist in China, once said: "Chinese is a language that is mainly composed of single articles. Under the requirement of polyphony, the "blockiness" and collapsibility of characters naturally provide the possibility for separation and contraction. Therefore, the combination of simplicity and complexity, the combination of wisdom and short and long, the clangor in neatness and the nature in injustice will make words sound like stone. The diversity of Chinese language rhythm provides a broad space for music, while rap music further enriches the language rhythm.
