A month later...

A lot has happened in this month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lee Jun-hyun's songs topped charts such as Billboard-Hot-100 upon release, and the results were quite good, making him famous for a while.

"Forever" with Eminem and Drake also topped the lists.

Within a month, he and Zheng Xiuyan returned to San Francisco, met with their parents-in-law, obtained their consent, proposed to her on one knee at her home, in front of her relatives, and put a diamond ring on her.

Empire moved its headquarters from Seoul to New York, and Empire grew by leaps and bounds.

also invited a music teacher to train Zheng Xiuyan, and at first she was opposed, but after Li Junxian's kind words and persuasion, Zheng Xiuyan happily began to concentrate on studying.

Why? Because Lee Jun-hyun told her that he would give her a track that would enter the Billboard and win the championship!

Zheng Xiuyan's small number BE also began to expand, in order to have better development, separated from the empire, became an independent company, hired major designers, and also designed more clothing, and for a while there was a momentum to become a fashion darling.

The countdown to Mamamoo's debut is highly anticipated, after all, this is the first girl group of Empire, and everyone is looking forward to what form it will appear in everyone's eyes.

Lee Jun-hyun's new album "Flexicution (Kill You)" [Reality is Logic's self-coined word Flexicution = Flex (bragging) + Execution (death sentence)] broke 720,000 copies in the first week and topped the billboard (Billboard-200). (That's really not a lot, in March 2005, rap maniac 50Cent's album "TheMassacre" sold more than 1.1 million copies within four days of its release, not to mention Eminem!) ）

"Flexicution" was well received in the United States, and the American media gave Lee Junxian a title called beatmasters! (Accompanist Master)

The word comes from the fact that when Eminem was interviewed, a reporter asked what he thought of the "new star" Weapon? X。

Eminem smiled and said, "Weapon? X is not a new star, he won the FreestyleBattle title back in 06, he is a BeatMasters! (Accompanist Maestric), he wrote me two beats, according to common sense, every composer finds traces of him in a certain piece, but he can't see it on the weapon at all, each beat is different! Wonderful feeling. ”

So, from that time on, the media called him BeatMasters! (Accompanist Maestro).

BET (Black American Entertainment Television) also made an exception to openly invite Lee Jun-hyun to participate in this year's awards event.

In some places, his path to development has been smoother than Aminem's.

It may be that now Europeans and Americans are more virgin, I hate it, but I can't say it, and if you say it, you will automatically be crowned a racist, especially Li Junxian has a yellow body, but he is playing black culture.

In some places, it's one thing that makes blacks proud.

However, the unspoken rules also exist, maybe he will not be able to win an award like the Grammy in his life, unless, he learns from Kendrick? Lamar (Kendrick?) Lamar) to play philosophical and advanced hiphop genres?

Because Empire is headquartered in New York, the Los Angeles media on the West Coast feel a little sour.

The Los Angeles Times commented: "Who would know Weapon without Drake Nicki-Minaj Big Sean?" X？ ”

The battle for cities in the United States, the hiphop battle between the east and west coasts has been continuous.

The New York Times was the first to fight back: "Suppose there is no such thing as this world!" Empire is New York! Didn't the country town tarnish the word? ”

Los Angeles Times: "The country town you call has the largest number of Chinese in this country!" ”

The situation in which the east and west sides of the strait were evenly matched suddenly changed.

Los Angeles has two first-tier labels.

Dr. Dre's music label aftermath (aftermath)

Eminem's Shady.

New York

Jay-z music label Roc-Nation

KanyeWest music label GOOD-Music

Lee Jun-hyun's Empire also joined New York, and all of a sudden, the situation changed.

The scales on the east and west sides of the strait changed in an instant!

Drake and Nicki-Minaj leaving Young? After Money, Lear Wayne, as the boss of the company, must push someone out to carry the banner again.

At this time, he tapped a Machine-Gun-Kelly (machine gun Kelly) rapper from Texas, and it didn't disappoint, MGK became a shining star, and for a while, he and the empire's logic were hailed by the media as the two king-level rappers of the future.

MGK also became Young? Money's new king-level person, second only to Lear Wayne in status.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he is also willing to move the headquarters of Empire (Empire) to California, after all, there are more Chinese in California and the living environment is better, but for the development of Empire, it can only be placed in New York, after all, this is a metropolis!

During this time, the two who were praised by the media the most were Kendrick-Lamar (Kendrick Lamar) and Lee Junxian.

Rolling Stone commented: Kendrick-Lamar (Kendrick-Lamar) and Lee Junxian They have brought a lot of different things to the current hiphop circle, both of them have no predecessors, no things that can be imitated and referenced, relying on their own abilities, but they have both succeeded, Kendrick-Lamar (Kendrick-Lamar) is a new generation of connotation poets after the New York rap emperor NAS (Nas)!

As for Li Junxian, he is even more different, his music is like coming from the ancient East, mysterious, and attractive, so that you are addicted to it, sometimes his music is magnificent, so that you feel that you are in the Heavenly Empire, sometimes it seems slightly tragic and desolate, just like the ancient Great Wall, each capital is different, each capital can let you listen carefully, and after listening to many songs.

The future of Hiphop needs more of these two people, or the same sentence, the day Trap becomes popular all over the world is the day of hiphop's death!
