Chapter 642: Cultural Appropriators, Worthless

Xia Yuan frowned and looked at Yu Zhiyuan, whose eyes were full of teasing, feeling a little confused.

He was sure that he had never come into contact with the country's top rapper, and he even had no connection with the so-called hip-hop circle.

But since the show started, the other party has been against him time and again, and his attitude is as if Xia Yuan has killed his entire family.

Although he himself did not really want to go along with the program crew and had been silently expressing that he would not get involved, Xia Yuan would never say anything when faced with their participation. He did not comment on the contestants, but nodded and said yes.

Isn't it still taking these people's face into consideration?
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't really think that he couldn't comment on anything, right?

Xia Yuan shook his head.

Although he didn't know why the other party disliked him, since others had come to him to make trouble, he was not a soft persimmon to be bullied. Naturally, he would not give up and agree to everything.

Then he can only act in his own way.

So he slowly spoke: "Since Mr. Yu Zhiyuan wants me to give a good review of this contestant, then I won't be polite. What about this contestant. AKA snitch?"

"Liquid, liquid, liquid."

The contestant also picked up the microphone and nodded.

"First of all, you chose a good beat, which is really worthy of recognition."

Xia Yuan said calmly: "The feeling of trap, combined with a little bit of industrial metal singing style and intonation, will indeed give people a refreshing feeling."

When the contestants heard Xia Yuan's comments, happiness flashed in their eyes.

After all, he was praised by a mentor, so he was naturally very excited.

However, Yu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Teacher Xia Yuan, is that all? If I remember correctly, the evaluation you gave now is exactly repeating what I just said, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Yuan with a sarcastic look.

To be honest, he really disliked Xia Yuan because he thought that Xia Yuan was unworthy of the position.

Compared with the other mentors, what musical achievements has Xia Yuan made? Has he won any awards?

So what are his qualifications to sit here?
He once said in his early years that he wanted to kill all the fakes and those who were unworthy of their positions, leaving no one alive.

He now believes he is simply doing the right thing.

His realistic attitude and his courage to speak out against social injustice, if the show is broadcast, wouldn't it make a lot of fans swoon?

This is what is called being yourself, being yourself.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, nor did he think it was wrong to do so. But now it seemed that Xia Yuan was indeed a fake who was unworthy of his position and could only rely on rereading his comments to fool people.

He won, and he won completely.

However, just as the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

Xia Yuan changed the subject at this moment: "Of course, contestant aka snitch, I am very sorry to tell you that this is one of the few advantages of your work. Next, I will talk about your overall shortcomings. The first point is that it is too rigid."

Xia Yuan's words stunned everyone at the scene, including Yu Zhiyuan.

But Xia Yuan continued slowly: "You are too anxious. You want to be innovative and want to integrate metal singing into trap, but you overlooked it. In fact, the integration is not good, and it even feels forced, because the overall pitch of your verse is obviously higher than the beat.

At this point, we have to mention one thing, that is, rap actually has a tune! It is not that there is no tune without melody! But if you ignore this, it will sound like the human voice and the beat are separated, and there will be a strong sense of separation.

Another point is that you were too obsessed with showing the lay back feeling, but because you were unfamiliar with it, and maybe because you were nervous, you didn't hit the right backbeat, which resulted in your unstable rhythm. You have to know that this is a competition, not a live performance with backbeats.

I know that in most hip-hop scenes, sound reproduction is used, so this problem is no longer a problem, but the biggest problem now is that this is a competition, and without sound reproduction, these problems will be infinitely magnified. "

Xia Yuan's series of words not only stunned everyone present, but also because these sets of professional terms were beyond people's understanding and imagination of Xia Yuan.

Who can say that Xia Yuan is just a director who knows nothing?
Even many of the terms sound confusing to Liang Ying and Wang Xuan, who are not very familiar with hip-hop music.

The director team has also begun to sweat profusely because this contestant did make it into the main competition through some not-so-glorious means.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Yu Zhiyuan who was also a little dazed beside him.

Fuck you, why did you mess with him?!

Now, is that okay? He really understands you, and is not just joking around with you.

He could only urgently take out the intercom and say in Xia Yuan's private channel: "Alright, alright, Teacher Xia Yuan, forget it, it's okay, that's enough."

However, Xia Yuan turned a deaf ear to him, took off the earphones directly from his ears, and continued to talk incessantly.

“So, in my opinion, your piece is not a qualified piece, not to mention that your flow is not varied. From the beginning to the end, triplets occupy most of the rhythmic patterns. In fact, anyone who knows a little about hip-hop knows that this kind of flow has been used too much and does not have much technical content.

Adding to the problem of lyrics, although trap does have the pain point of having long verses that are extremely repetitive, this does not mean that we have to respond to this pain point and just be ruthless and brave from beginning to end.

In fact, this is a very low-end approach. Music is used to express oneself and the central idea, rather than blindly boasting about how you are the best in the world. Therefore, in terms of connotation, this work is also of a low level.

The last point is about your name. I sincerely advise you that in hip-hop culture, especially in its origins in Europe and America, snitch is not a good word. This is well known to everyone. If you use it as your own aka, it seems like you don't understand your own culture.

Even in Europe and America, there will be suspicion of cultural appropriation, just like black people using nigger as their own aka. This is my comment and why I don’t turn around. "(End of this chapter)
