Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 116 Summer Deepens, Silently Releases a Song [55 Updates]

Awesome! So awesome! So uplifting!

Especially when you see GTE's smug face, the feeling of satisfaction is even more exhilarating.

Nonsense, how could he look good? He made a lot of grand pronouncements and boasted a lot of ambitions before the competition, openly shouting and yelling.

The results after the competition were a huge slap in the face. Not only did they let someone else take first place, but the most crucial thing was that they themselves failed to climb the leaderboard!

Yes! GTE's attempt to climb the leaderboard failed! They didn't win and were eliminated!
In other words, after this second round of the show, he will have to pack his things and leave immediately.

Doesn't this make Xia Shen's fans feel completely refreshed?
When Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng failed to take first place and gave their acceptance speeches, GTE sat on the side without saying a word, as if he were invisible.

The lottery draw in the second round also determined the limited-theme subject for the next round.

R&B with Chinese style.

Although the theme combination was still quite strange, at least it was a relief, as it wasn't Xia Shen's forte.

Even after the show ended, the online discussion had exploded.

"Well deserved! This time, he truly deserves it!"

"I can't believe that the person who wrote this song is the same person who wrote 'God's Rap'."

"Maybe this is what they call an interesting soul. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Someone like Xia Shen is great, why take things so seriously?"

"Actually, he just wanted to resolve the beef. Putting everything else aside, his magnanimity alone is enough to earn him praise. Compared to those rappers who are always up to no good, he really deserves to be called a god of Chinese rap. After all, which Chinese rapper can do this? A song deliberately portraying Tang Dynasty, just to resolve grudges? They want to keep that label firmly on their lips and then attack others endlessly in the process."

"Xia Shen showed me something different about Chinese rap, and it also brought me new hope."

"Moreover, this song is really powerful. I have been away from home for seven years, serving in the military. I have been loyal to my country, but I cannot fulfill my filial duties."

"This is my fourth year away from home working hard, and I still miss home. I'm already drifting."

"Xia Shen's songs are the ones that have real power."

“GTE’s approach was quite unpopular, so seeing them fail to climb the charts now makes me really happy, I really want to laugh.”

"Zhou Yumeng's singing skills, combined with Xia Shen's excellent and infectious rapping ability, plus his top-notch production skills, really, 1+1+1 is greater than three."

"The moment that duet came out with its mismatched chorus, I was moved to tears."

"That was amazing! No wonder it's been honed by Ultra. It can even control the stage in a variety show. It's incredible!"

"Well deserved! A new king has ascended the throne! This year, we really need to change who will guard our borders and fight off the foreigners!"

"I have to say, as long as there's no shady dealing or script, Zhou Yumeng and Xia Shen are really good at fighting!"

"Alex didn't look too good either. After all, Xia Shen won, and he won with his own song. Is nobody paying attention to him?"

Alex: Am I even human? Am I even human?!

It can be said that everyone was happy.

There is no dispute about who won first place in this second round.

Everyone agrees with this result. Of course, before GTE released a song dissing Xia Shen, the production team, and even the voting audience, this was at least the case.

Yes, that's right. Just three days after the second round of the show ended, while everyone was still discussing "Drifting to the North" and pushing the song to the top of the charts across all platforms, GTE released a song.

Or rather, a diss track.

The kind of thing where you don't even need to listen to it to know who they're dissing.

Because its song title is very simple, straightforward, and direct.

A letter to the now-defunct Chinese music scene, and to the dung beetles who love to eat shit: The neurosis of Chinese rap.

A very long song title, paired with a photo of a dismemberment scene photoshopped with Xia Shen's image.

It's even possible that the platform didn't approve the video, and they even added a thick layer of mosaic to the bloody parts.

The song is only two minutes and fifteen seconds long.

However, from beginning to end, it was full of malice.

Many onlookers who arrived at the scene immediately after hearing the story could sense the obvious malice emanating from the person.

If the things said on the show were at most insinuations, then the lyrics of this song are very explicit.

"I thought I could get a fair chance, but I never expected that it was all just wishful thinking. I've been doing all this for nothing. Director, you're working for the dung beetle. Turns out his son is your brother. Project complete!"

Two minutes and twenty-one seconds passed, leaving many people stunned.

This includes Xia Shen's fans.

"No. Is it really a diss track? Is it really going to be a beef? Why bother? Is it really going to target someone directly? Why do I feel like a bunch of people are getting anxious because Xia Shen is called the God of Chinese Rap? Especially after Xia Shen denied it, they're getting even more anxious."

"How do you evaluate this? This diss seems to lack substance, any dirt on the subject? Not a single one, and no wordplay either, just pure insults from the start?" "What? You think it's rigged because you didn't win? You're resorting to personal attacks right now."

"That's not very interesting, is it? Xia Shen was peaceful and respectful the whole time, and you even dissed the audience and the production team. Isn't that a bit too outrageous? Basically, anyone who doesn't let you win is an idiot, right?"

"Do you know that if Xia Shen were to take this seriously, your diss could land you in jail? The so-called top Chinese rap star is just this kind of illiterate person?"

"Xiao Gu, that's not fair of you."

However, just when the onlookers felt something was amiss.

GTE's massive fanbase has finally emerged.

As one of the most popular Chinese rappers right now, GTE has always had a large number of fans.

In addition, there were some other listeners and other fans.

They all stood up to support and defend the cause.

"Hahaha, great diss track! Great song!"

"Diss tracks are definitely the number one productive force in the rap scene. It was so satisfying to listen to."

"Isn't this part of hip-hop culture? Sending it in is laughable. Why don't you ask your Xia Shen why he's being dissed? Oh, no, I mean your rappers are crazy!"

"His song had no technical merit to begin with. The rap part was all just yelling. Where was the flow and skill? Was his win a rigged victory?"

"Laughable! Isn't it better than your dad's so-called 'nostalgia' poem written entirely in gibberish?"

"If you don't have a high level of education or don't know foreign languages, you can read more books. That's called internationalization, understand?"

"If I hadn't passed the age of 46, I would have actually believed your nonsense."

Anyone with ears can tell who should win and who shouldn't.

"Hilarious! They searched the entire internet but couldn't find any dirt on Xia Shen, so they got desperate and started mindlessly cursing him, huh?"

"You guys just keep protecting your master, that's what Chinese rap is all about! GTE should be the god of Chinese rap, you know? Seriously, you guys who like listening to Xia Shen should go to the toilet and eat more. You've got the life to listen to that kind of brainless music."

"To be honest, I was just passing by and watching the drama unfold. To be fair, I think it's more like you should have a chance to seriously listen to songs that are obviously deliberately abstract and play on memes."

"All in English = internationalization, I can't win = behind-the-scenes manipulation, I get it, I get it, he's just the god of rap."

"This practice really disgusted me."

"Hahahaha, the ultimate beef, the number one productive force, you've given birth to a mother!"

"They simply vent their negative emotions, do things that lack manners, and then use their attitude to justify themselves."

"Putting everything else aside, just this level of skill completely crushes your Void Rap God. What kind of god-like rap is this? It's laughable!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you're so capable, let Xia Shen write a diss track to come back and see if he can pull it off, hahaha!"

On the other side, Xia Shen frowned deeply as he looked at the content on his phone.

He has always been highly defensive, after all, he has cultivated his skills in the lower-tier market like a demon, and ordinary people can hardly imagine his dual resistance.

But it must be said that he was angry about this, as he was already unhappy on the show.

Normally, if GTE and those rappers hadn't come out and said anything, he could have just pretended nothing had happened.

However, it now appears that this was a huge mistake.

Stopping the fighting is useless, right? Humility is useless, refusing empty fame is useless, you won't listen to God's Rap? All-English equals internationalization, right? Technical expert, right? Beef, right? Productivity, right? Dissing, right?

walk slowly!

If you don't listen to "God's Rap," then listen to something else.

Soon, almost half a day after GTE posted its diss,

It actually only takes four or five hours.

Xia Shen immediately updated a video.

There was no text or description, just a song title.

In the video's cover image, Xia Shen is wearing pajamas, holding a cup of soy milk, standing in front of a microphone and a pop filter, wearing monitoring headphones, and pointing at the camera with the hand holding the cup of soy milk.

The song is called "Rap God"!
Even everyone who followed Xia Shen received a push notification from the entire platform at the same time.

Xia Shen releases a new song!

He didn't write anything, remained silent, and quietly released a song.
