Six hundred and fortieth chapters of the coup
Not long after the call ended, a link to a website was sent to Liu Qingshan's mobile phone, followed by a foreign mobile phone number.
He left all these things to Xiaoxing to handle, had a simple meal, and then went to the recording studio to work alone.
The new song he wants to "create" is "rap god" by Zhang Yi, the great domestic bboxer of the generation.
Bbox is an emerging hip hop element that appeared in the 1980s. It is a music culture that flourished in the early 21st century. It can be commonly understood as rhythmic beatboxing, but it is different from traditional Chinese beatboxing.
In the Chinese speaking circle, this form of performance is usually called b-box, which can be commonly understood as rhythmic beatboxing, but it cannot be called beatboxing. Most performers don’t like to be called beatboxing by others. To explain it in ordinary terms
, which is the rhythm box.
It is a form of ventriloquism, a new art that mainly involves using lips, teeth, tongue, mouth and throat sounds to imitate drums, rhythm and music. It also includes singing, using vocal cords to imitate DJing, imitating trumpets,
Strings and other musical instruments.
Zhang Yi is a great figure in the b-box world in the future. Based on Liu Qingshan's personal understanding, he has been regarded as a ceiling-level figure in the b-box world.
The "rap god" he imitated was a song sung by the old American rapper Eminem, but it would not appear until eight years later.
This classic piece of black rap style is a genuine ceiling rap.
There is no shortage of dazzling skills in the song, or it can be said to be a storm of tongues. The speed of speech attempts to break through the limits of human beings. In the most crazy 15 seconds, nearly a hundred words whizzed by, which is breathtaking.
The rhymes of 6.5 words per second, the dazzlingly complex rhymes, and the changes in flow (the pattern of combining words and rhythm) are enough to make this song amazing.
"Rap God" may be the pinnacle of modern rap technology. This is evident from the series of rap awards it subsequently won. These awards, large and small, include the 57th Grammy Award nomination for "Best of the Best".
Rapper" is the highest honor in the music industry.
Zhang Yi was able to perfectly interpret the original invincible rhyme through the b-box effect, which is undoubtedly more impressive than when Eminem released this song at the time. This is the reason why Liu Qingshan chose it.
Perhaps Eminem, who is called the God of Rap, is just a title and does not mean that he is the number one in history, but it is enough for Liu Qingshan to want to create a certain sensation through his works.
Because compared to the great god Zhang Yi, he has more than just fame, but also an countless fan base.
Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they both come from a country where English is not their native language, but even this is even more amazing for how terrifying they can perfectly perform the song "rap god".
The channel through which Liu Qingshan learned about this cover version of the song came from the reaction videos of later generations. It can also be said that he chose this method as a breakthrough, and it was undoubtedly the right time, place and people.
As for Zhang Dashen's perfect b-box skills, it is not a problem for him. In the auxiliary skills column of the Super Star Maker, there is an exchange function for related technologies.
He only paid a thousand redemption points and mastered the full set of b-box technology.

The equipment used by box is rc505, which is a loopstation (music synthesizer) loop workstation, which is used to record sounds by itself.
This kind of synthesizer can record and edit music in real time, and perform live accompaniment in a multi-track, loop-playing manner, which means that the sounds of multiple instruments are superimposed layer by layer to achieve the expression effect of "one person, one band".
Such a live performance cannot make any mistakes, otherwise it will start all over again, so it is extremely challenging and requires high musical literacy. Few singers in China dare to make such an attempt.
The equipment came from Punk Brothers. Liu Qingshan had considered this before, and this kind of professional equipment was difficult to buy in China, so he specifically asked the two to purchase it for him from Lao America.
It is not easy to memorize large sections of lyrics. Even if he has an excellent memory, he still needs to learn pure rap skills while memorizing lyrics. Therefore, except when he first revised some of the lyrics, he was still in a relaxed state.
, the only thing left behind is to concentrate on it, and there is no room for any negligence.
When he felt that he had mastered everything he needed to master and was about to start recording, he suddenly discovered that Jin Xishan had appeared at some point.
"Sister Xishan, you came just in time. I'm planning to shoot a split shot. It's obviously not enough to have only two sound engineers to cooperate with me!"
However, Jin Xishan seemed ignorant of his assignment, and still looked sluggish: "Did you just compose that rap just now? My God, the speed of this speech is almost invincible!"
Also coming with her were Shi Hui and Qu Xiangling, both of whom had the same demented look, with their mouths half open and unsure of how to close them.
Liu Qingshan suddenly realized this and turned to look at the two sound recordists outside the glass monitor screen.
One of them shrugged helplessly, moved his mouth to the microphone and said, "Sir, you were too involved just now. I knocked on the microphone several times!"
Another person laughed and said: "They are in the same state as the two of us before. We were all dumbfounded just now!"
These two people were professionals specially hired by the hotel for Liu Qingshan. During his stay in Seoul, they had a special lounge in the hotel so that he could come and record at any time.
The required equipment was also readily available. Liu Qingshan gave the three women a camera each and immediately got into actual recording mode.
Previous recordings required the creation of several bboxes, such as drum beats, trumpet, and bass rhythm sounds.
Not only did the three of them look fresh, but they also didn't understand the subsequent use. Fortunately, they only needed to control the angle of the camera.
After only a few minutes, he played several mixed sounds, followed by a series of rhyming lyrics. The rap effect that shot out like artillery fire was terrifying. Not only was it extremely watchable, but the brainwashing melody was also easy to use.
People are instantly addicted.
In fact, not only that, for the recording effect, Liu Qingshan specially put on a rich hip-hop style T-shirt, a baseball cap upside down on his head, and a pair of wide-brimmed glasses.
So, now he looks like a real rapper. With such unique rap style gestures, not to mention, he really looks like a rap singer.
The most awesome part of this song has never been the fast-talking part at 4:20. On the contrary, this fast-talking part is exactly the simpler part of the song. Of course, the extra points are definitely given because this is the song.
Show off your skills.
Hang it in there

The above flow and various rhyming parts, three rhymes, four rhymes, jump rhymes, and flow are played. In addition, the bbox live performance method has not really become popular today. This frequent change of flow makes the rhyming skills even more amazing.
Horrible.
But just thinking it sounds good is not enough; you also need to understand its background.
This is a song to fight back against others. If you were asked to scold someone, would you be able to scold him for six minutes? Not to mention singing and scolding him for six minutes.
The lyrics have no awkward rhymes at all, they are very smooth and the rhymes are the best in the world.
Not to mention the speed and clarity of speech, the rhyme of 6.5 words per second and the dazzling and complex flow transformation prove everything.
Moreover, the fit between the lyrics and the music is handled very well. It is not abrupt at all to add a quick-fire gun and a small flick of the tongue and then quickly return to the original flow.
Of course, no matter how powerful the effect of bbox is, it cannot be stronger than the beauty of the real soundtrack. However, Liu Qingshan's purpose in doing this is to emphasize the interesting nature of this kind of music, or to have a certain opportunistic mentality.
Why do you say that? Simply using a song like "rap God" to shock people's hearts is not enough. After all, there are already many similar works.
Therefore, using bbox to coordinate the performance is a new way of doing it. The novel performance form that combines the two can more easily turn the sensational effect on the Internet into a strong impact on the music market.
More importantly, this kind of combination cannot be said to have never appeared before, but at least it has never had such great influence and spread speed.
If it can be interpreted by more professional people, and detailed explanations and comments can be added to each technical node, it will undoubtedly be almost impossible for the English-speaking music industry to ignore its existence.
Therefore, the Musise (Music Response) website that Liu Qingshan set up in advance will form a new trend, a new way of reading and promoting music works.
Even if it is too late to correct the way they pay attention to the market with the upcoming Billboard Awards, the major music platforms that will follow will still have to make timely adjustments to their attitudes.
Because they know very well that emerging music platforms recognized by the market will, over time, affect the promotion methods of traditional music media as their influence and communication speed increase.
There is a more important point, even if the relevant music works are not authorized by the producer or singer, such continuous interruptions and the addition of many timely comments can be regarded as bypassing the big pitfall of copyright.
Or, at worst, blocking the video footage of some music works can also achieve the effect of avoiding copyright.
What's more, the existence of reaction videos itself exists for publicity. Singers and producers may not actually take rights protection actions for this kind of free publicity. In this way, the influence of this platform will only make it more and more popular.
Market welcome.
Therefore, the trick Liu Qingshan used was a miraculous trick that could be achieved with one stroke. No matter which angle you look at it, it will change the original rules of the game, but it will also allow music works and professional practitioners to work together.
A big benefit event.
Just think about this song "rap God" which is at the top of this trend whirlpool. How can it not become so popular because of it?
