The former is an ancient art originated from the folk, while the latter is a kind of mother-in-law and whining style (such as Tang priest in A Chinese Odyssey). According to textual research, China had the longest Rap epic "King Gelsall" in the world as early as the 11th century, which was 911 years earlier than the United States. It seems that rap is the fifth invention of China.
in the 1981s and early 1991s, rap was blown wildly from America to our little Hong Kong sister who was abducted by America's younger brother Britain (not what I said, but what Cui Jian said). Soon George LAM, an avant-garde figure in Hong Kong, concocted a Rap song called Dialogue (before that, he had an autobiogRaphical Diary of Alam, which shows that rap has been in Chinese pop music for a long time), and followed Zhang Liji, the king of dance music, to directly adapt the song of "Mr. Hammer" into the Chinese version of Rap Shock, which was also a smash hit. China people are most proud of a film "Hard and Soft Killing on Radio Channel" released by Softhard in 192. This ambitious Rap album in Chinese touched many sensitive topics in Hongkong and China, and it is also a pinnacle of Chinese rap music.

Rap: Knocking and scolding fascinates people. Conversation and understanding
rap music:
(Americans say) rap music was called "old-fashioned rap music" in early times. And its form is always that DJ scratches records or plays continuous drums to produce changeable and rhythmic music. With this kind of music, MC quickly and rhythmically interprets his own perception of life or mental state in language. Rap music is so silent, but it is a very vivid way to start its development. Subsequently, rap music was integrated into the hard rock guitar in the collocation of musical instruments, and the first "HardcoreRap" group Run—D.M.C also introduced "hard—hittingbeats" into the expression method of rap music, and the old-fashioned scratch record technology was replaced by the improvement and popularization of sound sampling technology.
(China people say) The art of rap is a kind of literary expression that is widely popular among the people. It can be sung with single mouth, multiple mouths, accompanied by musical instruments or without accompaniment. The Tibetan cultural and artistic treasure "Biography of King Gesar" is expressed in the form of rap and widely circulated among the people. The rap heroic epic "The Biography of King Gesar" is the longest epic in the world. Except for its prose part, there are 1 million to 1.5 million lines in the epic part alone, and the epic is estimated to be 36, 15 million words. The epic "The Biography of King Gesar" has been created one after another since the 21th century, and it has created the image of a group of heroes headed by King Gelsall who fought bravely and tactfully against evil forces. It is grand in length, unique in plot and beautiful in language ...

When Rap saw wild children-I am Eminem, who am I afraid of
In just a few months, Eminem (Eminem) went from one to another. The lightning success of his debut album "TheSlimShadyLP" undoubtedly shook the rap music world. His lyrics, which describe topics such as poverty and single parents, are rude and uneducated. He is not accepted by the mainstream of pop music, so some people wonder whether his popularity will affect the future of hip—hop music.
Before he let the whole world sing "MyNameIs… ...", his name was "MarshallMathers" and he was a poor boy who grew up in Warren, Michigan. "I tried to go back to school five years ago," he said, "but I can't. I just want to engage in rap art and try to become a singer one day." In 1997, he released an album Infinite, which was ridiculed by local hip—hop music groups. Nevertheless, he continued to promote himself by performing on the radio and participating in the national freestyle competition. In early 1999, Eminem attracted the attention of the whole world with his charismatic music and television film MyNameIs…, in which he parodied everyone from MarilynManson to the President of the United States. Soon after, the album rose to the third place on the billboard album chart. This album's description of drug abuse, rape, sex and violence scares some people, as well as Eminem's four-letter words insulting his mother, and songs like "97BonnieandClyde", in which Eminem fantasizes about killing the mother of his children.
Eminem defended himself that he just said what he thought. "I really like to stand in the position of poor white people. People don't realize there are so many poor white people there." His cynical feelings about life captured the emotions of millions of rap fans and made the album a "double platinum record". He started touring, including solo excursions with Beatnuts and MixmasterMike.
As the first rap band, Beastieboys ("Wild Kids") was regarded by critics as a noisy and playful musician. Since they were originally a punk band, they called themselves cultural predators. But they didn't plunder anything. They regarded rap music as a part of underground post-punk music, and the aesthetic view of self-study was not much different between hip-hop and punk rock.
The three members of "Wild Kids" all come from wealthy middle-class Jewish families in new york. In early 1984, they gave up punk and turned to rap music.
In p>1986, they released their first album "Sickness Permission". The album is a mixture of street beats and metal music, full of jokes and satire, and has been criticized by many critics and conservative bands as a casual and annoying record. But that didn't stop it from becoming the fastest-selling album in Columbia's history, selling 751,111 copies in the first six weeks. "Sick Permission" reached No.1 on the American charts and eventually became the biggest-selling rap album in the 1981s. In the album, the band's attitude, treatment and concept towards rap music are different from others. Instead of crazy music, they used samples of heavy metal music. The music of "Blacksmith in the Air", "led zeppelin", AC/DC and "War" all appeared in the band's works. This outstanding consciousness makes the album open up a new path in the field of rap music.
