Chapter 164: I, Little Lowry
Song Ya and Old Mike have explained their style of acting, and he shouldn't do anything too much, but he is right, he is the most stable if he doesn't know everything.
In late July, the group arrived in New York, and after a long period of thinking and discussions with Hayden, Donovan and others, Song Ya finally decided to abandon the release of the EP (mini-album).
"I'm kind of somewhere between A-list and B-list right now."
In a meeting with Sony Columbia Records' executives, Song Ya said: "Releasing an EP doesn't help me improve my coffee rank, only a successful album can help me stand on the A-list, then I won't consider any operation that might bring risks to my first album sales." ”
"Very calm judgment."
At the top of the large conference table, Motura agreed, "Actually, I have the same idea, but you know APLUS, this kind of suggestion that may bring you a short-term and significant loss of money is inconvenient for me to say." ”
"It doesn't have to be so, Mr. Motura, any advice from you is invaluable to me." Song Ya slapped a little fart.
"So ......"
After discussing the release of a few more singles, Motura stood up and looked at everyone, "This is the end of the meeting?" ”
Everyone got up one after another, "The company has been very busy recently, and your decision has saved us a lot of trouble." Motura said to Song Ya in a hurry.
"I know, and I'll try to cooperate." Song Ya knows that what Sony Columbia values most now is MJ's new album and Mariah Carey's second album.
"Well, we'll talk about it later." Motura nodded and walked away.
Leaving Sony Columbia Records' headquarters, Song Ya came to the penthouse in New York, and the renovation was not yet over.
"Did you see Old Mike's change?" Song Ya asked the designer.
"See, we already have space for security equipment, and we only need to make minor changes." The designer was puzzled and said, "Are the other places satisfied?" ”
"Basically satisfied, the pool is a little deeper......"
The designer smiled, and Song Ya was just talking.
In the evening, a Japanese restaurant reopened after a long hiatus.
"We have a lot of influence in the book.,Whether it's MJ or Miss Kelly.,The book audience likes it very much.。 David Cole said: "They also have a lot of purchasing power. ”
"Of course, your company is all from Sony, so you don't have much influence." Song Ya complained secretly.
Mariah Carey sniffed the sake in the glass, then decisively tilted her neck and took a sip in her mouth, "APLUS, ARE YOU REALLY NOT GOING TO RELEASE AN EP?" ”
Song Ya picked up the Japanese-style porcelain wine bottle and filled it for her, "No, I'm a man who wants to climb the A-list." ”
"Wow." Mariah Carey playfully clapped her hands, "Then I wish you all the best for the album." ”
"Thank you." Song Ya poured wine for others again.
"Shakira." It was Roberto Clevard's turn, and he was still struggling with what happened last time.
Song Ya raised her hands, "I surrender, Roberto, next time, next time I will definitely not forget your girl." ”
"Not 'my' girl, where do you think of it."
Roberto Clevell said: "I just have a good relationship with a colleague in the South American branch, and he is very optimistic about the girl, but the girl is not so patient, and it is a pity that she is about to give up her music career." ”
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, APLUS, have you listened to Little Lowry's second college first order?" Walter asked.
"Ahem......"
Song Ya, who heard the news, was choked by the wine, "Did he issue a bill?" I didn't hear anything from me. ”
"I just sent it yesterday." Walt pulled a CD Walkman out of his bag and handed it over.
"Hey, you're so disappointed, Walt, do you have to talk about work over dinner?" Mariah Carey immediately protested.
Song Ya took advantage of the fact that they began to coax Maria Carey, put on headphones and began to listen, "What's going on with this accompaniment?" "He reacted from the beginning of the accompaniment, the single 'I, Little Lowry' produced by Atlantic Records for Lori Jr. is a very good learning of Remember The Name, although the accompaniment music is different from Remember The Name, but the rhythm is also strong and bright, and Lori Jr.'s rapping skills and lyrics have also improved a lot.
It seems that in the second half of the year, Remember The Name's follow-up works will start to be released one after another, but I didn't expect that little Lowry would fire the first shot.
And that's not all, "Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago...... Rap God,Rap God,Rap God,Rap God……”
In the background of the middle cutscene, a rapper keeps chanting these two words to the rhythm.
"The king of the rappers of Chicago, with the M1911 pinned to his waist, if anyone dares to run rampant in front of him, I will not hesitate to raise the gun in my hand...... Shoot! Shoot! M-FXXK Shoot! Shoot! The FBI couldn't catch me M-FXXKKKKK Shoot! ”
Little Lowry sings this passage very 'manic', and the word Shoot adds the harmony of vocals and gunshots, which is very impactful, probably because he is particularly 'life'.
"WTH ......" Song Ya took off the headphones, "He also wants to learn. Is it banned? ”
"It's not necessarily a bad thing." Walter smiled, "You know the Tao better than I do, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Song Ya thought about it calmly, indeed, although the rapper's record was banned for a short period of time, although the sales were affected in a short period of time, it was very helpful to enhance the singer's reputation in the audience and the future 'historical evaluation', not to mention that Little Lowry also frequently took the title of the king or god of Chicago rapper on his head in the song......
He found a problem, little Lowry debuted earlier than himself, because of the second-hand store, the results in music are not bad, and the time is still earlier than himself, plus he has the experience of running errands for him, although he will not say so publicly, but the gossip black DJs will dig it out, this is a fact, and he can't get rid of it......
Therefore, according to the 'ethics' of gang rap, I am afraid that little Lowry will always have to press himself in the future, which has nothing to do with record sales or whether the singer is popular or not, the rules of the gang are like this.
According to the IQ of Lowry Jr. or Pablo, it is estimated that they can't grasp the scale of lyrics so accurately, but they are backed by the old Atlantic Records, and there are still masters in record production and publicity.
At the end of the dinner, he and Taraghi were taken to the hotel by Old Mike.
"The advantages of the traverser are being quickly learned by the people of this era......"
This song upset him a little, and he couldn't sleep in the hotel bed for a long time, so he had to turn on the radio.
Unexpectedly, the song by Little Lori was also playing on the radio.
"A very sharp rap song, from Lowry Jr., everyone still remembers his second-hand store last year......" The black DJ is bragging hard, "Tell me something about Chicago, maybe you don't know, APLUS was a sidekick for Little Lowry before he became famous, he ......"
Song Ya reached for the switch and was about to turn off the radio.
"Wait, wait! I just got a single from Escubber, uh...... There's no outer packaging.,It seems that the version that won't be officially released.,Haha,This kid has been a box office hit at the recent block boy.,Did he finally can't help it?. A had scolded him enough before, and I think it was his turn to fight back. Okay, let's listen to this No Vaseline, from Escubus, mind you, I've never heard this song either, so I'm not prepared for what will happen in the lyrics like you......"
