Chapter 12: Black Eyes

Just like the famous braggart daddy and Jay-Z, whether it is in the content of the song or in the singing skills, it is precisely because they each have their own unique characteristics that they can stand among fans, especially hip-hop fans.

Sid and Britney are now singing the alternative love song "Shut Up" by the later famous monster group "Black Eyed Peas".

It's just that the same song, in the hands of Sid and Britney, of course, the effect of singing is different from the original.

At this time in '02, hip-hop was still a powerful non-mainstream music, and compared with the enduring pop music and the upcoming resurgence of creative rock music, hip-hop's black characteristics were still very distinct.

And the audience is mostly here for its independence, personality and coolness, so singing their own characteristics is definitely what Sid and they have to do.

After Sid and Britney's part, 50Cent joins in, "Hy do e gotta move so fast - Lova's part before you could make it last!"

"hy is it that you just lose controlβ€”β€” Every time e agree on takin' it slo d@mn!

In hip-hop songs, there will be a lot of street slang and unconventional grammar, such as double negative for strong affirmation, but there is no such expression in actual English grammar.

But if it is thrown out like this in the lyrics, it will be particularly emotional.

Therefore, feeling is one of the most important foundations of hip-hop music. Content that can't let the audience feel and control the audience's emotions is definitely unqualified hip-hop.

TeenPop Britney, film supertalent Sid, rap star 50Cent, and gold-medal music producer Farrell Williams are all four well-known people in their respective fields, and it's a strange and funny thing to do.

And this is the next step Sid designed for Britney, imitating the historical "Black Eyed Peas" to form a hip-hop rap group called "Black Eyes".

In terms of lyrics and melody, Sid can of course write it directly, but to turn it into a real song, then it is absolutely indispensable for connoisseurs to lead the way, so the joining of 50Cent is absolutely crucial, and he is also the only hip-hop artist currently in Fire Lion Records.

After the 50Cent interlude, the chorus returns to Britney, followed by Sid's duet with Britney in the second third.

And it's no longer a lover's duet, but a-for-tat duet between a man and a woman, which has also become the high grass and fun of this song.

At the end of the song, the producers on the other side of the studio glass couldn't help but applaud, hip-hop has developed to this day, although there are many singers who like and sing rap, but its strong black street style makes this music genre on the market completely "monopolized" by black singers.

The only white rapper who can gain widespread recognition is Eminem.

But now, Sid's rapping prowess has grown up in a way that makes him very hopeful of becoming the second white rapper to take the stage, which is really helpful for his music career.

Not only to himself, but also to others with whom he collaborates.

Forming a hip-hop rap group and launching the multi-style rap music of "Black Eyed Peas" in advance in the future, in order to replace Britney's original development route of excessive Rolu, is what Sid wants to achieve.

And, even in these hip-hop heavier and heavier Britney Spears has some relatively sexy looks, which are also healthy sex appeals, not transitional Rolu like "historically".

This will be better both Britney's external artist image and internal inner impact, after all, Britney is only 20 years old now, and she is still half a teenager's psychology, and she has never come into contact with those things that are too surname-conscious.

"By the way, Sid, did you really say that?" asked Britney, curiously picking up the Rolling Stone magazine in her hand.

"What did you say?" Sid looked at him suspiciously.

"Well, you told reporters that you are a director first, a singer second, and a writer last. Britney pointed to the contents of Rolling Stone magazine.

"What? did you really say that?" Fei Dong next to him smiled and leaned over to look at the magazine in Britney's hand, and even 50Cent looked at it curiously.

Sid could only smile and shrug his shoulders, "They're just a trap and deliberately tricked me." ”

"So, they say you're the best singing director in the world. Britney covered her mouth and laughed.

"The whole world...... The best director at singing?" Sid not only rolled his eyes, "These literati like to play with words, so what is Clint Eastwood?

"By the way, when is our MV going to be filmed?" During the recording break, several people sat down to chat, and 50Cent, who couldn't stay idle, asked casually.

"Well, we're scheduled for August now, and I'd like to see it all before May or June, but that still depends on ...... Sid, you!" Fei Dong, who was the producer of this album, said and looked at Sid.

"Me?" Sid paused for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, indeed, I still have some time, and after starting a new project in the middle of the month, I'm afraid I'll be too busy to keep my feet on the ground for a long time, so I think we'll talk about the music video after the recording is done first." But what's your schedule?"

"Hey, we're all looking at you, you're a big guy. 50Cent jokingly spread his hands.

"We're always on time, and we won't have any other albums to work on until we release this 'B'. Fei Dong also said with a smile.

"Yes, it all depends on Sid. Britney also coaxed beside her.

"OK, OK, I'll ask the assistant to free up my weekend time, so that we can record and shoot the MV together every week, and usually a MV can be done in two or three days. Sid shrugged and decided.

"That's okay, as long as it can go smoothly, I'm OK. 50Cent nodded.

In the next few days, Sid and the others concentrated on recording albums, and generally speaking, creating an album is like writing a script, which requires a lot of time to create and polish.

And Sid has already carefully selected 12 classic songs of "Black Eyed Peas", and with the help of Fei Dong and 50Cent, they were quickly recorded.

This kind of efficiency surprised 50Cent and Fei Dong again and again, and the songs that Sid came out also made 50Cent, who is a hip-hop singer, happy to hunt his heart, in addition to the "love songs" like "Shut Up", several other really popular singles, which made 50Cent and others surprised and couldn't close their mouths.

And the "Black Eyes Combo" is finally on the right track.
