Chapter 120 Confession Rap

"OK~ I think everyone can go home early today!" Richard's joy was about to overflow from his cheeks.

The MV shoot that brought together three major gangs was more successful than expected.

"Hey yo~"

"Welcome to Compton~"

The successful cooperation brought together several groups that were supposed to be in opposition, and they fist-bumped each other after hearing the director call for stop.

"How's the effect?" 50 Cent ran over and asked hurriedly.

"Excellent!" Richard said. "I have to say you guys really managed to scare me! I can't wait to see the audience's reaction to this music video!"

Li Ang smiled and nodded to the actors passing by.

He could already foresee that such an MV would cause a huge wave when it was released to the market.

There is a high probability that this song will rush to the top of the Billboard charts by riding on the popularity of the Second East-West Gang War.

Drill, a decadent music from the ghetto, also has the hope of making it to the Grammy stage.

That day won't be too far away.

"BOSS~ How was my performance just now?" Cardi B jumped in front of Leon excitedly.

She looked like a real female leopard in the tight leopard print bodysuit.

Having grown up in a violent neighborhood in the Bronx, she expressed unusual interest in today's scene.

Compared to being in the entertainment industry, hanging out on the streets is her real comfort zone.

"Excellent, your ass is more lethal than those niggers' Glocks."

As he said that, Li Ang slapped her taillight hard.

This caused Kadi to let out a strange cry.

Robinson came over, looking worried.

It was agreed that he would just make a cameo appearance, but even he himself did not expect that the actual filming would be so different from the script.

"Man, you better get a lawyer," Robinson said. "I'm not responsible for any consequences of this song."

Li Ang was stunned for two seconds after hearing this. Robinson was not the kind of person who liked to joke.

"Is it that serious?" Li Ang asked tentatively.

"Of course." Robinson nodded. "You know, the cops don't like their kids listening to that kind of music."

"I've heard a lot of stories about people being caught by the police because their lyrics gave away clues. Sometimes they'll just use the lyrics as clues."

Is it really that exaggerated?
This was Li Ang's first reaction.

However, the MV had already been filmed and the subsequent recording plan had been carefully arranged.

It is impossible to change now.

He wouldn't have changed a thing even if he had the time.

The more controversial it is, the more heated it becomes.

The filming team packed up their equipment and returned to the commercial vehicle.

Along the way, 50 Cent and Leon kept discussing the details of the next recording.

Trauma Records' top arrangement team is working overtime to prepare the accompaniment, and if nothing goes wrong, they will be able to start formal recording tomorrow afternoon.

"Bro! I can't wait to see Diddy's face when he hears this!" 50 Cent laughed. "We got some serious kicks!"

Li Ang nodded perfunctorily and took out his cell phone to give DJ Marcus a task.

From now on, all radio stations under Apocalypse Music will fully promote this new song "Billy".

Use catchy titles such as "The Most Harsh Diss in History", "American Gangster Carnival", and "The Great Reconciliation" to warm up the publicity.

This time when he returned to New York, Li Ang still did not choose to stay in a hotel. He was already used to living in Robbie's apartment.

"Robbie~" He opened the door and called out but received no response.

He subconsciously thought that the other person was not at home.

Since Robbie became famous with "Faded", his commercial performances have spread all over the world.

Her musical success also allowed her to make greater progress in her acting career.

Entertainment media have recently reported several times that the crew of the 007rd 23 film "Skyfall" is in contact with his agent Maggie.

The executives of Sony Columbia Pictures admired Robbie very much and insisted on inviting him to join despite the opposition of director Sam Mendes.

However, due to issues of remuneration and role, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.

However, judging by the current situation, Robbie has a great chance of becoming the new "Bond girl".

Li Ang took off his shoes and fell on the sofa.

He picked up his phone and browsed social media, liking a series of selfies of female celebrities.

Taylor, Ariana, and Hilde were all included.

Among them, the swimsuit photos released by Ariana are particularly eye-catching.

After being injected with positive energy by Li Ang, the girl's childishness obviously faded a lot and she became more and more beautiful.

He smiled and sent a private message to Ariana, "The swimsuit suits you very well!"

Ariana quickly responded with a shy expression.

She was doing a photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar magazine, and her original plan was to wear a very conservative one-piece swimsuit.

But Ariana surprised all the staff by choosing a style with less fabric.

Ariana sent a message: "I have some secret photos that haven't been released yet. Are you interested, boss?"

Li Ang's mouth stretched from ear to ear, and all the fatigue from a whole day of filming disappeared.

He was completely oblivious to the subtle footsteps coming from the direction of the bedroom.

By the time he reacted, Robbie was already staring down at him.

"WTF~" Li Ang asked after turning off the screen of his phone, "I thought you weren't home."

"What were you looking at so happily, Honey?" Robbie narrowed his eyes like a cunning golden fox. "Why didn't you tell me before you came to Los Angeles?"

"I've been very busy with work lately. You know what happened with Didi and Beef," Li Ang replied.

"You always have an excuse anyway." Robbie spread his hands, "I can't count how many times this has happened~"

Before Li Ang could make any excuses, the other party had already impatiently removed the seal on his body and jumped up.

She straddled Leon and took the initiative, "I recently learned some interesting things from a friend of mine, and I thought you might like it!"

"friend?"

"Yes, Miss Kate Winslet, she is a great beauty~" Robbie's eyes were as charming as a fox.

At this moment, Li Ang's mind was full of Kate's name.

This woman gained worldwide fame with the classic film "Titanic" and is an enlightenment teacher for countless young people around the world.

How did she and Kate meet?
Li Ang was full of questions at first, but it was no surprise when he thought that Robbie was from Australia.

In Hollywood, the British gangs and the Australian gangs, which are also part of the Commonwealth, have always had a close relationship.

Kate Winslet is the most dazzling star among the many British actors in Hollywood.

Deeply impressed by Kate in Titanic, Li Ang couldn't help but ask, "What did she teach you?"

"You'll know later~" Robbie said in her ear with a blushing face.

Immediately afterwards, the sofa shook violently, making a creaking sound.

The friction between the two lasted for half an hour, and they rolled from the sofa to the carpet.

When Li Ang was lighting a cigarette as usual, he found that his legs were somewhat out of control.

"It seems that Kate has indeed taught you some very interesting things," said Leon.

"Ms. Kate is an elegant and mature lady~" Robbie said, "Director Sam is a bastard. He actually abandoned such a perfect lady." Hearing this, Leon remembered that Director Sam Mendes was Kate's ex-husband.

Their divorce last year was widely hyped by the media.

The incident started when Kate had a passionate sex scene with Leonardo DiCaprio while filming "Revolutionary Road".

According to the crew on the set, the two often went to the hotel to study the script all night after the filming was turned off.

"Sam did nothing wrong," Leon said. "Does he have to tolerate his wife sleeping with Leonardo just for the sake of that damn marriage contract?"

"How is that possible!" Robbie covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Miss Kate couldn't have had that kind of thing with that bastard Leonardo!"

Li Ang snorted coldly: Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?

After a moment's silence, he retorted, "You yourself said that Leonardo always likes to take advantage of his co-actresses, let alone a beauty like Kate?"

Li Ang fully believes that the two have been together since filming "Titanic" in 1997.

Both of them were at the peak of their beauty at the time, exuding strong hormones from the inside out.

It is normal for a gun to go off accidentally.

But more than ten years later, Kate is already the mother of two children, and it is somewhat unkind for Leonardo to want to relive the old days.

My wife has given away her beauty in her 20s and skills in her 30s to someone else. Divorce is the most conservative approach.

If this kind of thing happened in the rap circle, Leonardo would have to hire more bodyguards when he went out.

"Well, maybe you're right." Robbie rolled his eyes. Even so, he didn't think Kate made any mistakes in her marriage.

"Don't dwell on those boring gossips," Leon said. "I don't care what you think of Sam, but I have to get the role of Bond girl in the 007 movie!"

"Yeah!" Robbie nodded solemnly.

When Li Ang just debuted and was still a marginal figure in the music scene, the news of their relationship did attract a lot of attention.

But later Robbie's career success was entirely attributed to the song "Faded" written for her by Leon.

This song made her successfully leap from a second-rate actress to a supernova in the music industry.

Li Ang believes that now is the time for the other party to give back to him.

With the halo of "Bond Girl", both the already released "Faded" and the records to be released in the future will benefit.

The next day at nine o'clock, Li Ang arrived at the recording studio of Trauma Records as agreed.

50 Cent, who is always unpunctual, arrived early and was having a lively conversation with a group of arrangers.

"Bro~" 50 Cent hugged Li Ang as soon as they met.

In last year's "Los Angeles nightclub incident", the two were just ordinary friends.

After experiencing this Beef incident, Li Ang's status in the other party's mind has reached a new height.

"That's enough." Leon pushed 50 Cent away. "You're making me almost breathless. I didn't get enough rest yesterday."

"Bro, you do look a little haggard," 50 Cent said.

Robbie did use some new tricks last night, which were the mysterious wisdom that the British absorbed from the East during their colonial period in India.

Even Li Ang had to sigh: Even though it has declined, the foundation of the once-powerful sun is still there.

After working all night yesterday, the accompaniment has been completed.

Now a group of people are discussing the issue of singing method.

Although 50 Cent is a pure gangster rapper, the effect of his angry voice is still quite different from what Leon heard in "Inspiration Refresh".

In order to create a perfect piece of work, these gaps must be made up with flow (rhythm) and tone.

Only then did Leon notice that the figure next to 50 Cent looked familiar.

Even though he was wearing a hoodie, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

But I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

He was not completely sure until the man turned around and showed his profile.

Eminem is currently the most profitable rapper in the world.

He fulfilled his promise yesterday to serve as co-producer of "Billy".

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Eminem." Leon took the initiative to extend his hand.

Am still had a serious look on his face, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.

It’s not that there is any grudge between him and Li Ang.

He had been plagued by drug problems for a long time.

Fentanyl, methamphetamine, sleeping pills, leaves.
Drug abuse and alcoholism had torn his mind to pieces.

Even if you have long since stopped taking these drugs, the damage to your brain is irreversible.

So he could never control his expression and always looked cynical.

"Hello." Am extended his hand with a neutral tone.

In the subsequent discussion, he gradually spoke more.

Eminem is recognized as a master of flow. His rhythm changes are so many that it is jaw-dropping. He can spit out 5 words in one second.

With his help, all problems regarding singing were quickly resolved.

The recording entered the formal stage.

50 Cent entered the recording studio, put on headphones, and quickly got into the mood from the moment the accompaniment sounded.

He shed the shell of a rap mogul who had been in the entertainment industry for years and had it all in his thirties.

Rediscover your teenage self, walking the streets of the Bronx with a knife in your pocket.

A gun can be drawn because of an argument;
Robbed on the street for a pair of AJs.
Return to Nico's original state!
"I said all these things! Tell them exactly as they were!"

"These black guys can't control their mouths again, right?"

"Then let's follow our street rules and shoot them directly in the chest!"

After the prelude, 50 Cent took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs into the microphone:
"You guys said you haven't heard of me on the streets, but I haven't heard of you, brother!"

"Get out of my way now, before I murder you!"

"I'll shoot you, shoot you, shoot you, shoot you, shoot you"

Snapped--

When Eminem heard this, he suddenly clapped his hands, "Fxxk, I like this fierceness~"

"The more exciting things are yet to come," said Li Ang.

Eminem looked at his confident smile, his eyes unconsciously focused on the next content.

After the first verse ends, the most essential part of the whole song begins.

50 Cent slowed down his pace, lowered his voice, and began to introduce the criminal experiences of the Houmi people.

"My little brother has been selling drugs since fifth grade to earn money for his mom. Everyone in the community knows he's a good kid!"

"This is my good thick Bobby, he has shot three niggers who disrespected our community!"

"Cops, get my Houmi out of jail! We'll always be loyal to the community and won't tell you where the body is!"

"Let them go!"

This passage, which resembles a criminal statement, is entirely based on truth.

It is based on the gang members' oral statements during the filming of the MV.

"WTF" Eminem's eyes widened in shock.

He has been working in this industry for more than ten years and has experienced several beefs, but this is the first time he has heard such straightforward lyrics.

"How did you come up with this?" Eminem's eyes were almost filled with admiration. "No one has ever done this before."

"This style is a bit dangerous." Li Ang spread his hands and said, "I think we have created a new rap genre.
"Confession rap."
