Chapter 301: Thank you to the singers in the rap circle
The timing of Xu Ji's micro-special release was indeed a little unexpected.
Before many singers release their songs, they generally preview and promote them for a period of time in advance.
It is also equivalent to promoting his new songs and new albums.
Of course, there are times when a lot of publicity is done, but it still doesn't get a lot of attention.
It may even be robbed of the heat by some other thing for no reason.
But it's different here in Xu Ji, although there is no notice, but it doesn't prevent many people from clicking on the video and listening to the song as soon as they see it.
......
In a classroom at the Hangzhou Conservatory of Music, Xiong Lu had already put down the mobile phone in her hand at this time and stared at the media screen in front of her with others.
The multimedia screen in the school classroom has a relatively average picture quality, but fortunately, the audio equipment is top-notch, so listening to Xu Ji's new song should not have much impact.
Although the video was released, it was obvious that there was no corresponding MV because of the rush in time.
The video itself is just a piece of work that makes people read the lyrics.
A black screen appeared with a text that no one could understand.
“ave maria grazia ricevuta per la mia famiglia”
“tito orevole divino amen”
......
I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, and it's a little confusing.
However, some people still opened their mouths and said, "This seems to be Italian language?" ”
The song doesn't stop, and at the same time, the message of the song finally emerges on it.
"In the Name of the Father"
"Lyrics: Xu Ji"
"Composer: Xu Ji"
This is followed by a prelude with the violin as the main instrument, and the whispering of the Italian language continues.
"It's a long prelude."
Xiong Lu thought to herself at this time, and at the same time, she was also keenly aware that the style of this song was too different from the songs written by Xu Ji before.
If she hadn't known it by herself, it is estimated that even if she heard this, she would not have thought that it was written by Xu Ji at all.
Just when the song had been playing for more than a minute, the tempo suddenly changed.
"Driving~driving~"
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
A slightly demonic cry came, and for some reason, although Xu Ji hadn't started singing yet, Xiong Lu and many people in the classroom suddenly felt goosebumps rise when they heard these "ahs".
The next continuation is still a prelude, even as long as ten seconds to twenty seconds.
The intro alone is almost two minutes long!
This is definitely a very rare song intro length in the Chinese music scene.
At this moment, the singing finally came.
"Cool morning dew, wet black dress"
"The stone road is foggy, and my father is whispering"
......
It's really rap, but it feels very different from the raps I usually listen to.
After Xiong Lu heard Xu Ji's voice, the whole person was stunned for a moment.
Xu Ji's rap is still very different from what she imagined before.
The point is that the style of this song is indeed too unique, and the nearly two-minute prelude alone made Xiong Lu completely unexpected.
"Before you have time to cry, the bullet that passes through will take away the temperature"
......
At the end of the first paragraph, many people, including Xiong Lu, actually haven't had time to read the lyrics.
But the melodic part of the song is also very unique, and there is a bit of a scary black flavor in this style.
Especially the "ah" cries in the prelude.
And Xu Ji's rap is also the first time that everyone has heard such a tone and flow.
I have also heard a lot of melody rap Xiong Lu, but I have to say that Xu Ji's tone is unique at the same time, it is indeed surprisingly silky.
"Each of us is guilty and guilty of different sins"
......
The song was still going on, and Xiong Lu had already noticed it at this time, and the words of Xu Ji's song were obviously not written randomly.
But because the singing is a little faster, there is no way to stop and analyze something.
didn't bother much, Xiong Lu gave up the plan to continue to study the lyrics.
Anyway, I won't just listen to it once when the time comes, and the lyrics will have time to be studied.
Now let's listen to the whole song first.
"Bow your head and kiss my left hand in exchange for the promise of forgiveness"
"The old organ is in the corner, and it has always been accompanied"
......
Xiong Lu didn't know how the others felt.
But when she was listening to this song at this time, the biggest feeling was that the atmosphere of the song was too strong.
Even if there is no picture, you can still fall into this song atmosphere from the arrangement and Xu Ji's singing.
The most important thing is that if this song was a little weird before, it was even a little uncomfortable with Xu Ji's singing tone.

Now there is a feeling that it is getting better and better, and people are gradually addicted to it.
"Shout in silence, shout in silence"
"Loneliness begins to ferment"
......
"It's time for vulnerability"
"Let's Pray Together"
......
Soon, the song reaches the chorus.
The classroom was completely silent at this point, and everyone was staring with bated breath at the screen with only the lyrics.
"Merciful Father I Have Fallen"
"The Kingdom of Sin Is Not Visible"
"Please forgive my conceit"
“ah ya ya check it check it ah ya”
......
Xiong Lu can finally be sure at this time that Xu Ji's song is not exactly a so-called rap song.
Even the rap elements in it are actually not the most attractive part.
This song is unprecedented in terms of arrangement, lyrics, and singing style.
Not only subverted Xu Ji, but also is absolutely unique in the Chinese music scene.
I have to say that the gang of people in the rap circle have indeed made meritorious contributions!
Xu Ji tried to add rap elements to his songs, and actually wrote such a song, which made people like Xiong Lu who listened to such a wide range of songs feel a bit eye-opening.
"My father took my hands and walked softly"
"The quiet stone road in the morning"
“ah ya ya check it check it ah ya”
......
Next, Xu Ji's singing stopped for a while, and at the same time, the bel canto chant of a slightly sad female voice sounded.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”
The five gunshots that suddenly rang out made the people in the classroom startled suddenly.
Xu Ji's singing continued.
The song isn't over yet, it's still going on.
At this point, the song is already more than 4 minutes long, and the final estimate is often more than 5 minutes.
This does have a lot to do with the prelude of more than one and a half minutes.
However, Xiong Lu was not impatient at all, but became more and more interested in Xu Ji's new song.
"I fell asleep slowly"
"It's just dawning"
......
Finally, the whole song is finally over completely.
At the end of the song, the opening phrase is resounded.
“e non durre iazione,ma liberaci dal male.”
“amen.”
("All the kingdom, and the power, and the glory are yours.") Forever, amen")
......
After listening to Xu Ji's new song, the classroom first fell into an eerie silence, and then all kinds of discussions came out one after another.
"Damn, is this song a rap? How do I feel like I've never heard anything like it? ”
"Xu Ji is cheating! Although I've only listened to it once, I don't feel like I fully understand it, but I always feel that this song will be a god! ”
"This song is so weird, it's a pity that I couldn't read the lyrics carefully, I always feel that it is narrative, and this style has something to do with the story itself."
......
"Ahem, cough, cough~"
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The teacher on the podium coughed a few times, then spoke loudly.
After hearing the teacher's words, everyone in the classroom fell silent.
Then they all looked at him with a torch in unison.
The teacher was stunned for a moment, but soon realized the situation.
Obviously, the students in the classroom wanted him to analyze Xu Ji's new song.
His forehead was about to start sweating, and he wasn't really the kind of person who messed around.
Hangcheng Conservatory of Music is ranked relatively high among the music colleges in the country, and he must have two brushes to become a teacher.
But there are only two, and everyone like Xu Ji has a higher level of lyrics and songs than them, which naturally goes without saying.
What's more, this time it's a new song written by Xu Jicai, and the style is still so unique, I haven't heard anything like it before.
There wasn't even a relevant reference, he didn't even know what to analyze, he couldn't say much useful at all.
Fortunately, he was also quite witty, and soon spoke:
"How do you feel after listening to Xu Ji's new song?"
"This is our homework for this class, and the next time we go to class, we will share our experience of this song "In the Name of the Father".
......
After hearing the teacher's words, many students felt a little regretful.
Xiong Lu knew very well that in fact, if she only listened to it once, in fact, the teacher probably couldn't say much.
Even if she is a person who specializes in writing song reviews, although she has a lot of ideas in her heart at this time, she is also a little at a loss for a while.
I can only wait until I go back from class to listen to it a few more times, and at the same time try to pay attention to every detail in this song.
Xiong Lu is very clear, Xu Ji is especially in the lyrics of songwriting, and he can definitely be regarded as a detail maniac.
This time, "In the Name of the Father", it is estimated that there are many things worth digging for her.
......
In just ten minutes after the release of Xu Ji's new song "In the Name of the Father", the number of video views on Weite has exceeded 10 million.
An hour has passed, and Weite's hot search is full of topics related to it.
"Xu Ji New Song"
"In the Name of the Father"
"What kind of song is Xu Ji's "In the Name of the Father"?"
"Is 'In the Name of the Father' a rap?"
"Did Xu Ji succeed in slapping his face in the rap circle this time?"
......
Such a scene is déjà vu.
The last time such a situation occurred, it was when the poem "Huatian Wrong" written by Xu Ji to Li Fenghua was widely discussed.
At that time, this style of song was completely unprecedented.
Knowing that the follow-up song "East Wind Breaking" came out, Huaxia Feng came out of Xu Ji's mouth, and it slowly began to be accepted by the public.
However, it is undeniable that the number of netizens who like this song "In the Name of the Father" is more than imagined.
Xu Ji was actually a little surprised.
After all, in the memory of the previous life, when the real genius Chou Dong released this song, there was still a lot of controversy.
A lot of people simply can't accept this style of song.
But the background of the current era is very different, and rap in this life has begun to be gradually accepted by many people, and there are many audiences.
In addition, various song styles have developed rapidly due to the Internet, and people's acceptance and adaptation to songs have improved.
The only thing worth mentioning is that a classic is always a classic.
Even if the two worlds are very similar, this song was actually written more than 20 years ago in the context of the times.
In this world, more than 20 years ago, although there were also many singers and singers, as well as songwriters and ghosts.
But so many people ahead of their time still haven't appeared.
......
Xu Ji did not come forward to explain the song, but many musicians have begun to analyze it.
Among them are people from the rap industry, as well as people who create other types of music.
All kinds of analyses are flying all over the sky, and people feel dizzy.
There are also a lot of ideas and opinions, and after listening to this, I feel that it makes sense, and I also feel that it makes sense when I listen to another one.
But after all, no song can be liked by everyone.
In addition, the style of this song is relatively special, and there are still a lot of people who spray it.
Among them are some rappers.
"So many people blow, is this song really good? How I don't feel, can't understand. ”
"No, I thought Xu Ji would directly come up with a diss and solve it in the way of a rapper, what is the result? Does it count as rap? ”
"Xu Ji's tone was really big when he sprayed people before, I thought it would be a good song, but that's it?"
......
It's worth the next day, and the popularity of "In the Name of the Father" is still high.
But slowly, some large-scale, professional insiders and self-media have also begun to come down.
Among them, Xiong Lu, who has always been keen on evaluating Xu Ji's songs, has gained fans quickly.
During this day, Xiong Lu didn't know how many times she listened to Xu Ji's songs, and she also consulted a lot of information, and finally wrote a music review that she was quite satisfied with.
"The music review of "In the Name of the Father" is here, everyone stop bombarding me with private messages."
"First of all, let's talk about the conclusion, Xu Ji's song "Father's Inscription" came out, and his previous comments on the rap circle are indeed qualified enough."
"As for the reason, let's see my next analysis of this song."
"In the Name of the Father" is indeed not a very pure rap, but this is a good thing, because Xu Ji did not rap because of rap."
"Instead, he indistinctly integrated the elements of rap into his own style, and this alone is already incredible."
......
From the arrangement of the song to the rap part, and then to the Italian words in it, Xiong Lu has restored the story of the lyrics.
A very comprehensive analysis was made.
At the same time, it will also be the first to mention that Xu Ji's song style is very similar to the dark gothic style of foreign countries.
Xu Ji can be regarded as a unique song genre with his own characteristics since the Chinese style.
As for the previous conflict with the rap circle, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
No matter what aspect this song is, compared with some domestic rap songs, it seems to be a bit cheap.
Xiong Lu basically didn't mention Xu Ji and who won and who lost in the rap circle, because the discerning people naturally had answers in their hearts.
The only thing that kills people is that Xiong Lu solemnly thanked those who diss Xu in the rap circle.
If it weren't for them, then Xu Ji probably would continue to salt fish in the matter of writing songs.
All the energy is invested in the director's work, and the speed of singing can't even be described as slow, so there is really not much progress.
Thanks to the rap circle, otherwise everyone wouldn't be able to hear such a masterpiece as "In the Name of the Father".
