Chapter 392: Exploring East St. Louis at Night
Xiao Peng was really angry. This time, Xiao Peng had a long heart, and found a hotel with good security, a parking lot with good security, and there were many luxury cars parked here in the parking lot, and it seemed that everything should not be a problem, but he ignored one point, there was a problem with the guards in the parking lot!
In fact, there are many luxury cars in the parking lot, such as the Les-Royce Phantom Convertible Edition, Lamborghini LP570, Bentley Mulsanne, Ferrari 458, Porsche 911, etc., but the car thieves did not steal it, so they stole Xiao Peng's car. This made Xiao Peng extremely speechless, at that time, Xiao Peng and the two were relieved to put the car here, the reason is because there are so many luxury cars parked here, their car should be relatively safe, right?
According to the police's speculation, it was because those thieves felt that those luxury cars were expensive, and it was easy to bring trouble to themselves if they stole them, so they stole relatively cheap Mustang and Portsmouth, Xiao Peng's hotel where they lived was relatively more responsible than the hotel in Chicago, and said that they would compensate Xiao Peng for two new Ford Mustangs, after all, Portsmouth has been discontinued, isn't it?
But what is special, Xiao Peng, is that an ordinary Mustang and Portsmouth? All the cars in the parking lot are not as expensive as these two cars, right? The most expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom convertible in the Made's parking lot is only 450,000 US dollars, right? The Porsche 911 is only about 150,000 US dollars! How much is Xiao Peng's two cars? 1.7 million US dollars!
When the police and the hotel knew the value of Xiao Peng's two cars, they were directly dumbfounded, and the insurance company also sent an insurance officer to verify the authenticity of the matter as soon as possible.
After a serious investigation, the police gave Xiao Peng a very sad news that the car was driving to East St. Louis. East St. Louis and St. Louis are separated by a river, but they are two completely different cities, and the cases there are either the FBI, or the Illinois State Police, or the St. Clair County, or the East St. Louis Police------ if there are any police there. It's just not the police in St. Louis who are responsible. However, the police in St. Louis were still very responsible for helping them contact the FBI, the Illinois State Police and the St. Clair County Police respectively, and informed them of the case, hoping that they would work together to solve the case.
The staff of the insurance company also went back to the company to report the situation with a sad face: the car of the two was indeed stolen, and the compensation is not a small amount. The hotel also provided free accommodation for the two people.
But Xiao Peng was still extremely dissatisfied,, his car was not something that could be bought with money! It was 'Irino'! After tossing about this matter for a day, Xiao Peng arrived at night, taking advantage of the night, and Yang Meng and the two slipped across the bridge and came to St. Louis.
Speaking from the heart, although East St. Louis is chaotic, but it is still very beautiful, next to the road are two-story detached houses, which look like small villas, which is also tired of the Chinese countryside, every household is an independent house, all of them are nailed of factory plywood, it looks very good, but it does not set fire, does not prevent insects, and is afraid of tornadoes, and the villa is far behind.
There are also four- and five-story apartment buildings with peeling walls that look like they haven't been maintained for decades. I can often see a few black brothers chatting at the door of the house in a bunch of four or five people, Xiao Peng didn't think that the crime rate here was much or less, Xiao Peng walked all the way and the two didn't see any crime all the way, what did they imagine if they didn't agree with each other, and the situation of pulling out guns and setting up each other did not happen------ think about it, that's too exaggerated, what kind of crime is the crime if the crime rate is high, okay?
BUT XIAO PENG WAS DEEPLY SHOCKED BY THE RACIAL TALENT OF BLACK PEOPLE: THAT IS, THE ABILITY TO SING AND DANCE: A FEW PEOPLE CHATTED AND CHATTED, AND A PERSON NEXT TO HIM CASUALLY SLAPPED A WOODEN BOARD TO GIVE A RHYTHM, AND THE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES DIRECTLY STARTED RAPPING AND BATTLE; OR A RANDOM PERSON CAME TO A B-BOX RHYTHM, AND THE PERSON NEXT TO HIM COULD DANCE DIRECTLY. You can't accept this if you don't accept this.
However, this can also understand why hip-hop culture is so popular all over the world, this hip-hop music is free, without a framework. It is also because it is so free that it can liberate people's souls. Hip-hop music is diverse, and if there are any styles, it will become more and more diverse, and each style will have its practitioners and supporters, and the ethnic group will grow stronger and stronger.
Of course, this is not the case in the hip-hop circle in China, the underground look down on the popular, and the underground still have nothing to do with each other to write songs DISS to DISS and go, they all think they are the best, and the fans are hostile to each other as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they also call it beautiful------ the battle between the east and west of the Stars and Stripes was like this.
Please, does this depend on the national situation?
The biggest feature of hip-hop music in the Stars and Stripes is that they are full of anger, they are angry about their own system, they are angry about their own lives, they are full of anger. The great rap superstars B-I-G and 2PAC have proved it with their lives: dare to scold, dare to shoot! Don't think it's just an accident, Chinx Drugz, Renata Law, Magnolia Slim, Capo, Bankroll Fresh, Jam Master Jay, blah, blah, Xiao Peng could casually make a list of more than a hundred Stars and Stripes Nation rappers who died in gunshots.
This rap music was originally a way for black people to survive by mouth, but the rap is open-mouthed, often attracting death, in Chinese dialect, it is the disaster that comes from the mouth, if 2PAC didn't say in the song that he and B-I-G's wife have a leg, maybe he wouldn't have gotten a one-way ticket from Los Angeles to Las Vegas without returning.
will only be reported if he is shot, because the trouble brought to many rap musicians by the mouth has long been too much to mention, and the ability is from the same root, so why be in a hurry?
If we look closely, we return to another social problem: a significant difference between traditional black culture and urban black culture is that urban black culture is full of violence, and furthermore, this has a lot to do with the racial discrimination in the history of Stars and Stripes: poverty, chaos, lack of education and employment opportunities are the main problems faced by black people in Stars and Stripes, and the black culture produced in this context is naturally full of various unstable factors.
Take the conflict between the rap circles on the east and west coasts, which was originally a 'contradiction among the people', but the media blindly hyped and exaggerated the contradictions between the two sides of the strait, and the media often used words such as 'civil war' to render it.
But like white rappers, there is not so much anger between them, you look at the conflict between Eminem and Everast, it's a lot like a remake of 2PAC and B-I-G, and even more than that, but the two have been okay so far. However, blacks are different, and sometimes the contradictions between the east and the west and the two sides of the strait often involve too many people, and in the end they always become contradictions between groups, and they cannot be happy without leaving each other to death.
This also has something to do with the environment in which black rap grew up, you are like East St. Louis, where 99.99% of the people live on social welfare, can they not be angry when they write songs? In the Stars and Stripes, 90% of the hip-hop music songs contain sex, violence, drugs, etc., can you just move them to China?
Many fans of hip-hop music in China are young people, there is no black life, but there is a black man's disease, full of anger all day long, the good side of the music has not been learned, these bad content has been learned, I don't know how the level is, it is true, all the words in addition to swear words are greetings to other people's mothers, and I think this is very cool, it is really a low-quality performance.
Of course, those who play hip-hop in China are really confident, and a considerable number of people are from rich families. And different people like hip-hop music for different reasons, some people like this kind of music after studying abroad, such as several rappers such as Aifujini. And more because of 'it looks hanging', 'it's more convenient when picking up girls' and so on. Most of them lose money and make money. The name is beautiful: love, in fact, is not bad money.
Can you make the same music when you grow up in a different environment? People who haven't gone to school are all swear words in their mouths, what is the situation with your mouth full of? In addition to not being educated, Xiao Peng can't think of any other reason.
One by one, they say this is not good and that it is not good, Jay Chou is poop in their eyes; Wilber Pan almost squirted Xiang last time in "China Has Hip Hop"; the members of the competition dissed each other, saying that others sang mountain songs, and people sang mountain songs to "Singer"! instead of doing hair。。。。。。
No one can deny that Wilber Pan is one of the most amazing performances in the whole show in "China Has Hip Hop"; as for the GAY who sings mountain songs, if someone in the Chinese hip-hop circle really goes out of China and arrives in the Stars and Stripes Country, Xiao Peng believes that the most likely is GAY. Trapped by language, it is difficult for Chinese rap to enter the Western vision, you hold the same things as others: black people's dress, black people's hairstyles, black people's typhoons, and then the language is not clear, how do you make others accept you?
Again, if you can't accept diversity, hip-hop music will not develop better. And Huaxia's consistent style of foreign things is: take the essence and remove the dross, since you are in Huaxia, you have to adapt to the national conditions of Huaxia, it doesn't matter how you mess around underground, but if one day you enter the public eye, then you have to change, hot dog is awesome enough, do you see that the song content of his song when he first debuted is the same as the current song? Where did all the swear words go? But who can deny that Hot Dog is a rap brother?
If you don't even understand this, then don't play hip-hop, or you'll be entertaining yourself underground for the rest of your life.
Xiao Peng likes hip-hop music very much, it's like running over to smoke a cigarette with those black brothers who play BATTLE and enjoy their performances, uh, but now is not the time, more important things are waiting for him, he is getting closer and closer to his car, and he can't make any extras!
