About rap

Rap, in China's dictionary, there are two words that can be replaced, "Rap" and "Rap". The former is an ancient art that originated from the folk, while the latter is a kind of mother-in-law and grumbling style (such as Tang priest in A Chinese Odyssey). According to textual research, China had the longest rap epic "King Gelsall" in the world as early as 1 1 century, 900 years earlier than the United States. It seems that rap is China's fifth greatest invention.

In the early 1980s and 1990s, rap spread wildly from the United States to our little sister who was abducted by the younger brother of the United States, Britain (not what I said, but what Cui Jian said). Soon, George LAM, an avant-garde figure in Hong Kong, concocted a rap song called Dialogue (before that, he had an autobiography diary of Alam, which shows that rap has been popular in China for a long time), and imitated Zhang Liji, the king of dance music, and directly adapted the song "Mr. Hammer" into the China version of rap "Shock", which was also a smash hit. China people are most proud of Softhard's "Radio Channel Hard and Soft" in 1992. This ambitious Chinese rap album touches many sensitive topics in Hongkong and China, and it is also a pinnacle of Chinese rap music.

Rap music:

In the early days, rap music was called "old-fashioned rap music" And its form is always DJ scraping records or playing continuous drums to produce changing and rhythmic music. With this kind of music, MC quickly and rhythmically interprets his perception of life or mental state in words. Rap music is so silent, but it is a very vivid way to start developing. Subsequently, rap music incorporated hard rock guitar in the collocation of musical instruments, and the first "hard—hittingbeats" group Run—D.M.C also introduced the expression of rap music, and the old scratch recording technology was replaced by the improvement and popularization of sound sampling technology.

(China people say) The art of rap is a popular literary expression among the people. You can sing single-mouthed, multi-mouthed, with or without instrumental accompaniment.

The epic Biography of King Gesar has been written one after another since 1 1 century, creating a group of heroic images headed by King Gelsall who fought against evil forces bravely and tactfully, with a large space, strange plot and beautiful language. ...

When Rap sees a wild child-I'm Eminem. Who am I afraid of?

In just a few months, Eminem has changed from an independent hip-hop host to the most controversial figure in modern pop music. The lightning success of his debut album TheSlimShadyLP undoubtedly shocked the rap music world. His lyrics describe topics such as poverty and single parents, which are rude and uneducated. He is not accepted by the mainstream of pop music, so some people doubt whether his popularity will affect the future of hip-hop music.

Before he let the whole world sing "My name is …", his name was "Marshall Mathers", and he was a poor boy who grew up in Warren, Michigan. "I tried to go back to school five years ago," he said, "but I couldn't. I just want to engage in rap art and strive to become a singer one day. " 1997, he released an album Infinite, which was ridiculed by local hip-hop music groups. Nevertheless, he continued to improve himself by performing on the radio and participating in the national freestyle competition. 1999, Eminem attracted the world's attention with his charming music and TV movie My Name …, in which he parodied everyone from Marilyn Manson to the President of the United States. Soon after, this album rose to the third place in the billboard album chart. The album's descriptions of drug abuse, rape, sex and violence scare some people, as well as four-letter words that Eminem insulted his mother and songs like "97BonnieandClyde", in which Eminem fantasized about killing the mother of his children.

Eminem defended himself by saying that he just spoke his mind. "I really like to stand in the position of poor white people. People didn't realize that there were so many poor white people there. " His cynical feelings about life captured the emotions of millions of rap fans, making this album a "double platinum record". He started touring, including personal excursions with Beatnuts and MixmasterMike.

As the first rap band, Beastieboys ("Wild Kids") is regarded by critics as a noisy and naughty musician. Since they were originally a punk band, they called themselves cultural predators. But they didn't plunder anything. They regard rap music as a part of underground post-punk music, and the aesthetic of self-study is not much different from hip-hop and punk rock.

The three members of the "Wild Child" all come from Jewish families of the wealthy middle class in new york. At the beginning of 1984, they gave up punk and turned to rap music.

1986, their first album Sick Leave was released. This album is a mixture of street beats and metal music, full of jokes and satires, and has been criticized by many critics and conservative bands as a random and annoying record. But that didn't stop it from becoming the fastest-selling album in Colombian history, with 750,000 copies sold in the first six weeks. Permission to get sick reached 1 in the American charts, and eventually became the biggest-selling rap album in the 1980s. In the album, the band's attitude, treatment and concept towards rap music are different. They replaced crazy music with samples of heavy metal music. The music of Blacksmith in the Air, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and War all appeared in the band's works. This outstanding consciousness makes the album open up a new road in the field of rap music.
