Penguin Music was not very popular in the past few years, and not many people used this software to listen to songs.

At that time, people used music software such as Qianqian and Kugou.

However, with the gradual rise of domestic music copyright awareness, free and pirated music has become illegal. If you don't put a song on the music platform, you have to get the authorization of the relevant company and singer before you can do it.

And tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of song copyrights, thousands of music software, Kugou these music software without the support of big capital, there is a lot of pressure.

Either because the song is removed from the shelves without copyright, there are fewer and fewer music that can be listened to, and the loss of users is serious; Either they can't withstand the mergers and acquisitions of big capital and become a member of the capital.

In a word.

After more than a decade of competition on major music platforms, Penguin Music can be said to be the software with the largest number of users now.

Even the cloud music platform, which is also backed by big capital, is no longer the opponent of Penguin Music.

Many first-line and heavenly kings and queens have handed over the copyright of their music to Penguin Music as the exclusive agent.

Now there are still some unique niche music and users who stay in Netcloud Music.

The general public, all to the penguins.

So.

Now Penguin Music's 'rap showdown' competition, even if rap belongs to a niche music circle in China, and it is not at the same level as pop music, it is also very lively.

According to statistics, there are nearly 8,000 rappers who have submitted to the competition!

Of course.

Among them, the songs and new songs that can really be called high-quality and decent may be less than one-tenth.

Most of them are indiscriminate.

After all, the threshold of the rap circle is too low, you don't need any culture, you can scold people, you can say something arrogant to show your attitude, and when you sing it, you can add some rhythm, and you dare to say that you are a rapper.

You don't need singing, timbre, vocal skills or anything like that.

None of them are needed.

Therefore, in recent years, rap music has been particularly popular among the majority of secondary school students.

Twenty years ago, the thugs who didn't study well liked the favorite group of the old boys, who liked to fight and kill on the streets.

And now, the little gangster who doesn't study well likes to do the most as a rapper.

is like Wang Xiaokai, whose singing skills are basically zero, and even some amateur singers can't compare, but they can still have a place in the rap circle, and they are very popular.

There was once an unknown underground rapper on the Internet, Blackdog, who once said in an interview: For rappers, the lower the education, the more good and in-depth things can be written. Because once you go to university, you can't get in touch with that real society. Secondary school students enter the society early, and their rhetoric is richer and more experienced than that of college students.

So he concluded that in the rap circle, secondary school students are the most important option.

College students mixed up in the rap circle, but they suffered a loss.

The better the university, the more points are lost for 211 and 985 universities!

It's weird, though.

Most of the rappers who sing rap are junior high school graduates or gangsters who have dropped out of school, but among the fans who listen to rap, female fans account for a large part of the number.

Moreover, among the female fans who listen to rap, female college students occupy a large part!

So Blackdog said another classic remark, which is that if you don't know how to rap, you go out at night and go to a bar, you will lose points! No girl will like you.

And when you're in a bar, show that you're a rapper, and when you play music, you sing along, and those sisters will take the initiative to post it.

According to Blackdog, when he wasn't playing rap, he didn't go to the bar and no one cared.

When one day he suddenly opened his mind, woke up, and began to play rap, the mantra that was often on his lips, changed from exploding foul mouth to something like 'damn bro' and 'homie', and then hummed a few sentences casually, those sisters with tattoos in bars were all lit up when they saw him!

So it's no wonder that the public now has a bad impression of the rap circle.

It's true that the rap circle is too mixed, and there are too many of them.

Now participating in the 'rap showdown' competition held by Penguin Music, at least eighty percent of the rappers who are unknown to join in the fun.

These people didn't think about getting any good rankings, they didn't expect anything at all, they just participated in competitions, went clubbing or something in the future, and had the capital to brag.

When you're ready to reward the girl, you can boast that your new song has participated in the rap showdown, and you have achieved good results, and you can search for my song in 'Penguin Music'.

Look at.

What a force!

But ridicule is ridicule.

The overall atmosphere in the rap circle is not good, but there are definitely a few high-quality ones.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.

Those who can enter the top 100 or even the top 30 in rap duels are basically impossible unknown rappers who play tickets.

can get to this ranking, all of them have a head and face in the rap circle, and they have good qualifications and prestige.

Otherwise, you won't be able to get to this level.

But......

There are exceptions!

For example, Wang Xiaokai.

Wang Xiaokai's rap strength is indeed slightly better than his singing skills in pop music.

After all, I've been mixing rap for several years, and in order to talk to girls, I've also worked rap, and I'm still very slippery.

However, putting aside his identity as a little fresh meat, if there were not so many brainless fans who gave him a kryptonite list, his real strength would hover around 100 at most.

To get into the top 30, it's completely impossible.

And he used the recent 'black and red' east wind, as well as various rubbing Lin Xi to create topics, which stimulated fans' desire to protect, and now the top ten are in sight.

Lin Xi returned to the hotel from the recording studio.

In the afternoon, in addition to understanding the backstage of Penguin Music's singers, I uploaded "In the Name of the Father" and set a regular release in the early hours of the evening.

Then if there was nothing to do, I clicked on the 'Rap Showdown' page and listened to the top 30 songs on the charts one by one.

How to say it.

There are a few rappers' songs, and he likes them a lot.

One thing to say, although these songs are rap, they are well-made and have a good level, whether it is the melody, rhyme, or the spirit that the lyrics want to express, they are all relatively high-quality.

These singers' breath, articulation, vocalization, and basic skills are also very good.

If they switch careers to sing popular music, it is estimated that they will not be worse than many professional singers.

It deserves to be affirmed.

But this kind is too little.

He listened to the first thirty times, and he thought it was okay for only three people.

The proportion is one-tenth.

You must know that this is the top rapper in the competition, and one-tenth of the strength is recognized by Lin Xi and feels good.

And all the rappers who participated in the competition, but there were nearly 8,000 people!

Lin Xi listened to the other songs.

Even if some people bite the bullet, Lin Xi can't listen to it at all, and he has to cut the song halfway through it.

Hit the brain!

"The Chinese rap circle in this world is even worse than in the previous life! I moved out of "In the Name of the Father", which is really a bit too bullying and overkill. ”

I looked at the sky outside, and before I knew it, the afternoon had passed.

Lin Xi, who was already confident, is even more confident now.

After all.

Even those three new rap songs that he thinks are of good quality are far from amazing.

Compared with "In the Name of the Father", which can be sung for decades and still sounds fresh, I think it is a classic of the Divine Comedy, it is completely the light of fireflies and the moon.

"Go out for a meal and empty your mind."

Lin Xi rubbed his temples, left the room with the room card, and went downstairs to eat.

Although he couldn't go shopping with Bai Lu in the past two days, Lin Xi still took a rough look at the delicious food and fun around the hotel.

One thing to say, there are a lot of special delicacies in the capital, but most of Lin Xi doesn't think it's good, anyway, it's not what he likes to eat.

For example, mixed sauce noodles or something, he feels much more unpalatable than the spicy noodles in Sichuan and Chongqing.

Of course, it could be the reason for his own taste.

Another example is the most famous roast duck, Lin Xi thinks it is more ordinary.

Some of the roast ducks that are not so famous will taste a little better and can be eaten.

Those big brands are expensive and unpalatable, and eating them once will never be like eating them a second time.

After eating, I walked around again.

Back at the hotel, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

In two hours, the new song will be officially released.

Lin Xi logged in to Weibo at this time, and first forwarded Wang Xiaokai's challenge book, that is, to make an appointment with Lin Xi, saying that when he participated in the rap showdown, he would see who was ranked higher! Those who lose have to post on Weibo to admit that they are stinky brothers!

The forwarding reads: Okay, I'll take it. Those who lose don't swear by oath.

It took less than two minutes to retweet it, and there were quite a few replies right away.

"Actually engaged? Tsk, I thought Lin Xi hadn't replied in the past few days, pretending to be dead and couldn't see it! ”

"Tempered,! Last time in "Our Song", I defeated Wang Xiaokai with a song "It's Dark", but Wang Xiaokai was still hard-mouthed, saying that there was no way to defeat a real rapper. Now, it's finally time to go head-to-head! ”

"I had an exam tomorrow, so I wanted to go to bed early! But since Mr. Lin has a new song to release, then I have to stay up late tonight! Recently, "It's Dark" and "You're Not Really Happy" have been played and listened to dozens of times by me on a loop! ”

"Eat melon, eat melon!"

"Looking forward to the new song!"

"To be honest, I feel pretty choked. Do you want to open? I admit that Lin Xi is talented, but this time he got involved in rap and sang in person, I think there is a high probability of overturning. ”

"Stinky brother, you pretended to be dead for two days, and finally came? You said don't swear an oath! ”

"Stinky brother!"

"Stinky brother!"

"Don't come to the side!"

In less than an hour, the number of comments and retweets both exceeded 10,000.

The number of likes has reached 30,000.

But someone made a voting choice, asking who would win Lin Xi or Wang Xiaokai.

Lin Xi's win rate was only less than 30 percent.

And Wang Xiaokai's winning rate is 70%.

This shows that in addition to Wang Xiaokai's fans, in fact, most people, including fans who like a few songs written by Lin Xi, are still not optimistic that Lin Xi can write good rap new songs, and it is even more difficult to sing well.

Even.

Not long after, Lin Xi's comment on reposting Weibo went, and a few more famous rappers also came to join in the fun.

There are three of them, and they are all very famous rappers in the rap circle.

They are: 'Zhang Xiaoyun', 'copper', 'Qifu'.

These three people, although they are not the top few people in the rap circle, at least they have a lot of fans.

They also released new songs, and they all participated in this 'rap showdown'.

Among the three, 'Qifu', who is currently the lowest-ranked, has also ranked 17th on the current list.

The other two are directly in the top ten!

It's even higher than Wang Xiaokai's current ranking!

However, the position of all three of them has always been the same.

are all on Wang Xiaokai's side!

left messages in Lin Xi's comment area, asking: Can I participate in the gambling contract? Let's see who has the highest ranking in the end, and the one who loses is called the younger brother?

Lin Xi smiled.

And those who are in a hurry to send people's heads?

After seeing this, he naturally did not hesitate at all, and replied to their comments: No problem, participate in the gambling game!

After replying to the comments, Lin Xi felt that it was still a little unpleasant.

Soon released a new Weibo: the new song "In the Name of the Father", at twelve o'clock in the evening, it was released on time at Penguin Music! Although many friends in the rap circle have called me stinky brother recently, they also asked me not to come to the side. But since I decided to get involved, then I'm not here to be a stinky brother, but to be a benchmark in the rap circle! Again, let me see what a real rap is!

PS: I'm here to correct the style of the rap circle, above.

Originally, Lin Xi didn't want to be so arrogant.

But these rappers in the rap circle huddle together to keep warm, and if they want to help people like Wang Xiaokai get ahead, then he doesn't mind having two fights and a pair.

Come to a group, then he will knock them all down with one shot!

Moreover, after listening to rap for a few hours this afternoon, the vast majority of the quality is hard to describe.

Now that you have taken out a big killer like "In the Name of the Father", don't keep a low profile, you should give this group of secondary school students a head start, let them sober up and know what a really good rap is.

Lin Xi just forwarded Wang Xiaokai's meager anal, and in the comment area, he and the three rappers were facing each other and fighting together without flinching, which seemed to be a one-on-four, which has caused a lot of heat.

A steady stream of melon-eating people are rushing to him.

As a result, seeing Lin Xi make such an arrogant and arrogant declaration again, his meager spirit exploded directly.

Not to be a younger brother, but to be a benchmark in the rap circle?

Let's see what real rap is?

And to correct the style of the rap circle!

Too arrogant, right?

If you say this in the pop music industry, you may still be barely convinced, after all, there are already three songs that have become popular and swept the major charts.

But even so, it will still suffer a lot of criticism.

After all, there are still two great gods in the lyrics and music world, Liang Qingshan and Xu Ruolong!

Although Lin Xi is extremely talented, he is still far from reaching the realm of these two great gods.

What's more, it's not pop music.

It's the rap circle!

You are a layman and don't have any masterpieces, why are you so unscrupulous?

Can you be better educated than technical secondary school?
