's latest episode of "New Rap 2024" was aired, and #媷婷碰新ookiessingingsamazing# has become a hot search again. This show can be called the most popular rap reality show variety show this summer, with all kinds of hot songs and memes. Recently, Huizi's all-purpose opening phrase "Beijing, Guangshun, Huizi is coming" has also been ruined by everyone - young people on the Internet and the art of rap resonate at the same frequency, and all kinds of unexpected hot memes are generated from this stage. , spread to the public level and became a popular cultural trend.
Rap works such as "Gap" and "Complex Ingredients" have also entered the music hot list again and again with the broadcast of the program. The program team wants to dig deeper in the field of rap, and rappers have also successfully "gold-plated" through the program, achieving both popularity and commercial value. Achieve a true win-win situation for each other!
In addition, the more meaningful aspect of "New Rap 2024" is that it allows the rap stage to further "evolve".
It was really cool to catch up with the two "semi-finals" over the weekend. The songs are good, and the stage quality is high. There are all kinds of exciting scenes that will blow your mind, and there are also many heartfelt performances that make the whole audience cry.
Rap has evolved to 2024. I didn’t expect that it can still be so heart-wrenching!
1.
Semi-finals - the top 12 peak sprint night, the battle was extremely fierce. The 12 groups of contestants are divided into two rounds. In the first round of the "Goddess Singing" session, 6 popular and powerful female singers and 12 groups of rappers will work together on 6 stages to integrate pop and rap. The 4 people from the 2 groups with the highest votes will be the first to win. Enter the finals, and the remaining 8 groups will compete for the remaining 3 seats through the second round of sprint competition.
But I never expected that the song that killed the competition that night was "Xiaoxia" by Huang Qishan.
It is obviously difficult to present this song in the form of rap on this stage. The song is soothing and poetic, like a grand, beautiful and independent personal music biography. It is difficult for most people to imagine what such a song would look like on the rap stage. When selecting songs, many singers chose tactical avoidance. Only Luo Yan and athree said they wanted to challenge it because they liked it.
Finally, under the adult beauty of Huizi, Luo Yan and athree's dreams came true, and together with Huang Qishan, they adapted the rap version of "Xiaoxia".
's new arrangement adds a narrative perspective, with three life lines intertwined and intertwined with each other. Luo Yan is responsible for "confusion" - singing about the hesitation of a young man who is ignorant but realizes that he is about to enter the whirlpool of life; athree is responsible for "solution" - he is A middle-aged man who has experienced frustration, doubt and injury, and has become aware of life and the world; and Huang Ma is a wise person who has experienced the world and is responsible for "comforting".
People who grew up in different generations, with different stages of growth emotions and life perceptions, echo each other in their chants and raps, and meet on the same stage, like a trickle, merging into a big river, sincere and full Emotions gradually swept the whole place with gentle and powerful power, like an overwhelming tide...
"The beauty of life is the ups and downs."
"Someone loves me, which is a bonus given by the world."
" This love is the oxygen in my life.”
With the powerful singing skills and emotional appeal of Huang Ma, these lyrics of athree are like keys, accurately opening the hearts of the audience, making a group of people wet their eyes. .
This must be the first time that many people are made to cry by a rap song, right? The song
won the highest number of votes in the audience, 142, which was also the first time the "New Rap 2024" program has reached the highest number of live votes since it was launched. Philosopher Žižek said that when daily sensibility is most abundant, "the horror of real tears" can occur. This is often the best moment for philosophy. At that moment, "New Rap 2024" ushered in its own "philosophical moment" with the audience on and off the stage, and on and off the screen.
Just as Huang Qishan said before the game, singers embody their own lives in songs, forget about the competition, and enjoy the stage. Stable and sincere output can make love reach the hearts of the audience.
The only way to kill the game is to forget the game.
The successful counterattack of "Xiaoxia" sent Luo Yan and athree to the finals first, but the greater significance is that such a beautiful and gentle slow song, when it is integrated into the rhythm of rap, is finally successfully presented on the stage It has also changed many people's stereotypes about rap - hip-hop rap can have more expression possibilities. It does not have to be sharp, rebellious, and hot, but can also be gentle, powerful, and relaxed. And tough.
is very advanced and interesting!
In this semi-final, led by "Xiaoxia", a large proportion of gentle raps were played. In the
individual competition, c2c also uncharacteristically produced a song "Maybe Not Maybe". In a tough guy's tender tone, it talked about individuals' questioning and thinking about family, love and ideals. It changed from explosive outward questioning to Explore from within. After listening to what Da Zhangwei said, he felt like a gangster who drank too much at a KTV and recalled his half-life from the confusion of youth to the vicissitudes of middle age. The two confused and vicissitudes of his life were having a dialogue and exchange there, thinking about the propositions of life.
"Behind everyone's appearance of strength, there is an unspeakable fragility." Yes, on the other side of rappers' explosive passion, there is also an unconcealable sense of loss and tenderness. This contrast is also a more three-dimensional self-presentation of the singer.
c2c's kigga said that when he reached the semi-finals, he just sang what he wanted to sing. After singing, no matter whether he won or lost, he had nothing to regret. Zangzang, the only female contestant among the top 12, also chose the same idea and sang "Everything Will Be Alright" to tell her story and emotions at a low point in her life.
This may also be due to the weakening of the "competitive nature" of this kind of song selection. It is not so utilitarian, but more pure and moving in concept. The song "Amazing" sung by Rookie Jedi for the upcoming child also moved the audience with its gentle and powerful arrangement and strong emotional energy, even when the singer choked up and forgot the words. and star producers to get the highest votes in the competition stage.
Erdi wrote a short essay of several hundred words to praise him, "The moment after forgetting the words, it seemed that some kind of energy that must be 'reversed' was inspired, and suddenly tears, ignition, climax and thrilling The moment has come, just like the wonderful scene in the movie where you fall down at the last moment and then fight back..."
"Imperfection" makes for the "most perfect" performance.

Of course, there is no shortage of explosive stages.
Li Sidani, the cool girl who brought her own heat as soon as she stood in the middle of the stage, together with Rookie and Normand, two rappers who combine strength and talent, took the lead in heating up the place.
Li Sidani was responsible for "lighting" "Fire", Normand's rage "added fuel to the fire", and there was a rookie who used trap to "fan the flames"... The three powerful forces joined forces and directly brought the scene to a boil. ", the audience in the audience screamed and jumped, it was completely like a large-scale concert scene.
I originally thought that with such a super igniting stage effect and the support of 130 votes (full score 164), the rookie and Normand could be guaranteed to enter the finals, but I didn’t expect that there would be a strong player behind!
Hot sister Xilinnayi Gao collaborated with Hayabusa and Jarstick to sing "Tall, Not Rich Yet, But Handsome", which turned the scene into a live house. One woman and two men, the ultimate pull in the emotional world, hot and spicy , rolling, hot, adrenaline bursting to the table, and the audience in the audience went crazy! Audiences who like violent and explosive rap stages will not be disappointed. This semi-final’s energy-based stage has a variety of genres to play and can satisfy hip-hop lovers of all tastes.
has always been limited to boombap's 20,000, once again stepped out of the comfort zone and challenged the rage style that he was not good at. This song is inspired by the Nanjing dialect song "Bai" (note: "Bai" means "awesome" in Nanjing dialect), and it is so sung that it is really "no more" (no more, in Sichuan dialect, it is so good that no need to describe it) .
Anyway, his series of violent questions are still echoing in my ears from time to time: I ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, swing, am I powerful, am I not powerful, am I not powerful, am I powerful?
would wake up in the middle of the night and would "jump" up to reply: You are the best in the universe...
The macho guy is really cool when he raps.
Guangshun Tiger Teruko, who is "as powerful as Thanos at his peak", still does not change his frivolous nature this time. In the goddess singing session, he collaborated with Ai Yiliang and Ga One and boldly tried auto-tune rap. However, the competition in the first round was too fierce and he failed to make it to the championship. In the second round of sprint competition, he performed another song " "Just play around" expresses the arrogance of "No matter how much you hate me, it doesn't matter, anyway, I am fully confident of reaching the finals, even if I just play casually".
"My lyrics are Tyson at his peak/Punched a gorgeous combination of punches on your face"... Huizi turned his lyrics into fists and swung them at those who dissed themselves and labeled them, and punched them in the face unceremoniously. Greeting, attitude, skills, flow, and stage effects are all perfect. Full of fighting spirit and disdain, with a cynical wildness, the whole song is really exciting to listen to.
Then he used this wild fighting spirit to win a place in the competition, and the one he squeezed out was Ga One, his partner who had joined hands with the goddess in the previous round of singing (euphemistically called sending him home to fall in love) ...Watching the two of them fighting side by side on Saturday, and rewarding them with one and the other on Sunday is really cruel and exciting!
What's even crazier than Teruko's wild boxing is aa's "Mad Dog Fist". He said that he entered the competition because he wanted to perform this rap song with his good brother Kandy, but Kandy was eliminated midway and left him alone in the show. Anyway, it was already the semi-finals, so he played doubles alone, and then he entered alone. Entered the ultimate fighting state - fight! Crazy! Got it!
The courage of the young rapper to go forward without hesitation, no matter whether he wins or loses, and to be crazy first is really exciting! People are already looking forward to what the fierce battle in the championship will be like!

The art of rap can be called the emotional amplifier of contemporary young people. It uses the truest and most passionate expression to make good music one after another and complete high-quality stages one after another.
Those high-spirited shouts, fast-paced questions, unruly diss, funny rhymes, talented lyrics... inspire the audience's emotions, evoke the audience's resonance, and release the passion of the young group. By 2024 In the summer of 2018, it still exudes damn charm and completes its own new evolution.
went from a loud whistle in a niche track in 2017 to blossoming everywhere today. "New Rap 2024" and his behind-the-scenes boss Taochang are experiencing the rewards of deeply cultivating a field. Those hot songs, as well as the popularity of topics that are naturally in line with the times, are never created deliberately, but are the sparks that naturally come out of friction through unremitting exploration. Today, the program can still rely on its strong appeal to bring together a group of the most talented rappers in the industry to explore the possibilities of rap in a deeper direction.
And rappers also use the stage to achieve all-round evolution of personal talent, charm and commercial value - almost everyone who has reached the top 12 is experiencing a surge in individual and label commercial value. After the championship game ends, the "New Rap 2024 National Tour" will be staged in 12 cities.
Rappers from generation to generation use microphones as weapons and lyrics and rhythm as blades to mark an era and carve their own legends.
This July, a new legend will be born again. After a peak sprint night that was half sea water and half fire, the seven rookies, c2c, athree, Luo Yan, Huiko, Hayabusa, and jarstick finally rushed to "New Rap 2024" On the peak night, although these guys have different styles, in terms of strength, almost everyone has the energy to win the championship. Whether it’s c2c, whose sword never grows old, or athree, who has an alternative style of painting, or Teruko, who has strongly started the “Northern rap” trend this season... everyone has left their own gorgeous mark on this stage.
Because the recording time of the finals was at the end of June, there are actually different opinions on the final result. The next suspense is, what kind of twists and turns the process of this peak showdown went through, and who is the legend who finally won the championship? How to become the champion.
can’t wait to see the grand event of the Champions Night this weekend, and there is also a new rap national tour to be held in August. There is only one champion, but there are a lot of rappers who want to have fun together live!
