What do you think of the current development of rap? Will you try to listen to the rap genre more in the future?

As someone who has been exposed to HIPHOP music relatively early in China, I rarely follow hip-hop forums such as rap bars online. Even if I do, I am mostly diving. Why? Because since then, there have not been many useful resources in this area, and the information that netizens can provide with reference value is also very limited. Most of them are like me. Out of love for this kind of music, they just entertain themselves in a grassroots way. , so it is difficult for me to raise my interest in communication, so I can only study and study by myself.

However, as programs with a strong commercial and entertainment flavor such as "China Has Hip Hop" and "China's New Rap" become popular all over the country, I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. What I am happy about is that this kind of domestic The niche music has finally come out of the ground, from behind the scenes to the stage; unfortunately, it is used by some people with ulterior motives as a tool to gain fame and money, but it has no role in promoting the Chinese rap culture itself, or even only plays a role in promoting it. Negative promotion, being parodied and maliciously misinterpreted, and being led astray by so-called "hip-hop artists" who appear out of nowhere. As an "old man" who has been exposed to rap music for more than ten years, I feel it is necessary to stand up and make a voice. , giving some inspiration and help to those of the same age who love HIPHOP music culture, or the 90/00 generation who love Chinese rap.

But having said that, how can we really rap and how can we really rap in Chinese? Everyone has different opinions and different opinions. Many beginners are confused. There are also Including me who was first exposed to HIPHOP music (I also have in-depth research on Chinese and English rap skills and their respective characteristics). Whether you are engaged in this field of work out of hobbies or inspiration, you should have a certain knowledge and understanding of the origin and development of hip-hop culture itself, and then you can get involved deeply and appreciate its charm. For hip-hop graffiti or DJ Rap and other American-style hip-hop culture, we Chinese are doing pretty well in some aspects, but rap is the most difficult and faltering to develop in China. Is it because rap music is not suitable for China, and Chinese is not suitable for rap? No!

The Internet is full of all kinds of original rap, and the release of all kinds of original lyrics has affirmed everyone's contribution to Chinese rap and their love and concern for Chinese rap, but I have to Pour some cold water on it, because most of it cannot be called rap music and can only be reduced to saliva songs or limericks. Even if you have to show off your single pressure, double pressure or triple pressure, it is meaningless, because this is not true in real music. Rapper is not worth mentioning at all. Rhyme alone is not a rap skill. I think real rap is a rhythmic multi-rhyme serial decomposition of rhymes, with rhythm and drum beats as the skeleton and multi-rhyme rhymes as the muscles, continuously. Split and merge them to achieve a confusing but interesting feeling. To put it bluntly, rap music is nothing more than complex and exquisite tongue twisters with musical rhythm.

With regard to their understanding of rap, domestic rap giants have only scratched the surface and have not yet seen the quality, let alone the profound content! But this is the fact!
