This top guy is crazy!

"The second episode of "The Rap of China" is really too strong! Okay, I declare that Cheng Cheng is directly crowned as a god!!"

"The main reason is that the song is so good! Brother Frog is really awesome! The four mentors all sang really well! When Cheng Cheng was doing that fast lip sync, my eyes almost popped out! Can you believe it? Really, this is the first time I felt the charm of rap! Sure enough, it's not that rap can't attract me, it's that the rappers are not good!"

"In one word, hard! This show is too hard!"

"What the domestic variety show industry should reflect on is why only Frog Brother can produce such a show!"

"I was shocked to the extreme! Really, from the beginning of the second episode, I knelt down to Cheng Cheng from beginning to end!
I really didn't expect his creative ability to be so strong. He released four new songs in one episode, and each of them is in a different style. "Floating to the North" is a fusion of Trap/Pop-Rap, "Rashomon" is a Lo-fi fragmented rhythm + lyrical rap, "War" is Old School hardcore, and "Wild Wolf Disco" is a retro Disco swing. This kind of creative ability is too brutal! It is so brutal that it is almost a public execution of other domestic rappers! ! ! "

"The pinnacle of domestic rap! Cheng Cheng really has no limit!"

"Concept God!"

"Jiang Nan is awesome! I didn't expect her singing voice to be so comfortable!"

"These are the king and queen of the Chinese music scene!"

At the same time, there were also problems on Zhihu:

"How to evaluate the second episode of "The Rap of Summer""

[Starting from this episode, "The Rap of China" is no longer just a simple variety show. As of 21 p.m., "The Rap of China" accounted for 50 of the top 12 trending searches on Weibo. It can be said that this year is the first year of hip-hop!
The program demonstrated extremely high standards in all aspects, whether it was the contestants' performances, the stage presentation, or the music production, they were all extremely hard-working and impressive.

Especially in this episode, Cheng Cheng’s four songs and the performances of the four mentors directly made this program a masterpiece!
According to this trend, this year's champion will probably be like a rocket to the sky. Basically, when the audience talks about Tianxia hip-hop, they will mention him...]
"I totally agree! I was immediately attracted to Cheng Cheng after watching this episode. Each of Cheng Cheng's four songs can be taken out and savored repeatedly. Jiang Nan, Shi Jing, and Xie Duo are also very good. It would be a shame if this show didn't become popular. This year's champion is really exciting."

"This year's champion is Cheng Cheng, Jiang Nan, Shi Jing, and Xie Duo, who are using their fame to pave the way for him!"

"The three people who are most likely to be the champions right now are Black Disaster, Flame Tongue, and Li Haoyu."

“This show really took a lot of effort to produce.”

"I didn't watch the first episode, but started paying attention to it from the second episode. I can only say that this is definitely the benchmark for domestic variety shows."

“The stage design is also very thoughtful and fits the rap culture very well.”

Let’s talk about the four-person stage.

First up is Shi Jing. Shi Jing really put in his best effort in this performance. As an OG among the old, his singing skills are really top-notch. His live performance has always been very energetic. Plus, the hardcore rap song "War" is especially suitable for him, so there is really nothing much to say, it was pure RAP bombing!

The Cantonese rap at the beginning, the American-style screaming + verse + hook in the middle, and the explosive fast-talking + HOOK repetition at the end make people's scalp tingle!
I believe that many people want to jump up in front of their computers and mobile phones. Anyway, in the eyes of me, an old fan, this is an amazing performance. Shi Jing is really a monster and his skills are still as good as ever!
The second is Jiang Nan. Her rap style is completely different from Shi Jing’s. In terms of technique and accent, she is not top-notch (of course, it’s mainly because everyone has their own expertise. As a non-rapper, it’s already very strong to be able to sing at this level), but her performance is really amazing!
It can't compete with "War" in terms of competition, but it's very musical! It's very pleasant to the ears and I was very touched after listening to it.

Moreover, Jiang Nan is from a girl group. She showed off her dancing skills, her eyes and movements were on point, and her figure is so good. No one can beat her in terms of stage presentation. After watching it, my mind was full of beautiful legs!
Once again it’s KAKA Xie Duo.

How should I put it? As the number one female rapper in China, Xie Duo sang the song "Wild Wolf Disco" with ease and comfort. There is almost nothing to say except that it was shocking.

Let's talk about this song. When I first heard "Wild Wolf Disco", my first impression was that it was rustic and lively. Let's call it rap. I can write four kilograms of this kind of crappy song in a day. There is no flow or rhyme to speak of, and there is no very powerful singing method.

It is nothing more than a piece of cake for Cheng Cheng to capture the sinking market.

But after listening to it two or three more times, I realized that I had oversimplified it. I had oversimplified Cheng Cheng.

This song mixes humor, liveliness, bitterness, market life, yearning, roughness, delicacy, fantasy and life together to create a Northeastern stew.

There is loss wrapped in humor, romance dotted in the market, imagination emanates from vulgarity, it sounds vulgar and vulgar on the outside, but it is rich in emotions on the inside.

The poor Cantonese pronunciation at the beginning is the Northeast's yearning and imitation of the urban life in the film islands of the 1990s. It is a new world opened up by Hong Kong movies in the era of county video halls. It is a person's colorful imagination of modern urban life in the dimly lit old bungalow that exudes the smell of smoke, sweat and stench.

“Draw a dragon with me on the left and a rainbow on the right” is both social and innocent, simple and sensible. It has the temperament of a naive street person and the taste of a romantic big brother.

Although Xie Duo's performance looks like that of a fierce girl, the way she wears sunglasses, a leather jacket, holds a big mobile phone, and distorts herself to the music is really delicate and rough, beautiful and bold, just like a charming Hong Kong beauty who suddenly turns into a girl with a strong accent.

Funny, yet sincere.

So what if it's local music or social music?

Is it vulgar? Yes.

Is it low level?
Very low level.

But so what?
What is hip-hop? Isn't rap music also a product of self-entertainment among the grassroots people?
Finally, there is Cheng Cheng’s “Floating to the North”.

In the end, it’s not that Cheng Cheng’s performance was the worst, but it was undoubtedly the finale.

Judging from the works alone, among the rappers of All Day Summer, there may really be no one who can rival Cheng Cheng. In terms of performance, not only rappers, but singers of all categories combined cannot even come close to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng is a person who was born in the lower class. He once became famous overnight and became the luckiest lucky man. He also fell into despair and lost his will. But now he has soared to the sky and flew across the world.

Watching his performance in front of the screen is terrifying, you can feel the power in his songs, his stage explosion comes from the inside out! ]
"I totally relate to you! Shi Jing's performance was so exciting. The old OG team is still strong!"

"The answer is spot on! As an old fan of Shi Jing, this performance really brought back the feeling of him dominating the rap world back then."

“Frog’s songs are great, but Shi Jing’s control of rhythm and flow in “War” is also textbook-level.”

"Cheng Cheng is really a god on the stage. It was amazing for a first-timer like me. I thought to myself, 'This is Hei Pa! I must go to see a Hei Pa concert.' Frog Bro broke through the barriers of the rap circle and inspired ordinary people like me to be interested in rap."

"Break into a sweat!"

"I really want to thank you for this answer. I went back and read it again. It's really on point."

"Jiang Nan's legs are really amazing hahahaha!!!"

"'The charming Hong Kong-style beauty turned into a girl with a strong flavor of corn in a second' This review is really amazing!!!"

"I also like the song Wild Wolf, and I don't think it's tacky at all. This song magically depicts a vivid and three-dimensional Northeast China with just a few words.

The declining economic environment, the urban scene full of gangsterism, and the optimism and innocence unique to the black soil.

Cheng Cheng did not describe them word by word, but they brought back memories of the 70s and 80s about the Hong Kong and Taiwan golden songs and discos of the last century, with indescribable sadness and humor. This article is really well written. " "If nothing else, Wild Wolf is so cool!"

Star Picker:
"After watching The Rap of China, I can only say that the second episode was crazy! Is Cheng Cheng trying to take domestic variety shows to the sky?!"

Music industry expert: "My mind is now full of 'drawing dragons and rainbows'."

Observer A Zheng:
"Anyway, I'm impressed by Cheng Cheng now. He has been on Weibo's hot search list for two weeks since the show started. This is what a domestic variety show should look like."

Music Big Player Orange:
"Now I finally believe that 'good content will win'! Why did "The Rap of China" break out of the circle? It's not because of the script or the lack of bottom line to attract attention. When a certain TV station is still using disgusting couples to attract traffic through confrontation, Cheng Cheng has already entered the next level. It can be regarded as a good lesson for the industry."

Super:
"This kind of 'healthy traffic' that relies on works to speak for themselves is what the audience really needs."

Even other rappers who were not on the show were stunned after watching it.

MC Key: “I was stunned.”

G - Lao Pao: "After watching the second episode of The Rap of China, my eyes are a little tearful. This show really treats hip-hop as a culture rather than just an entertainment tool. Respect!"

Lil'Cipher: "Oh my god! My head is flying off!"

The next day, the second episode of "Summer Rap" was still a hot search on Weibo.

The evaluation given by the industry has only two words:

exaggerate!

Xie Duo jumped up with joy, holding her phone and laughing:

"Hahahaha, I'm finally famous!"

"Who dares to call me a country bumpkin?"

Xie Duo frantically scrolled through the comments and likes from netizens on social media. Seeing those compliments, she couldn't help but read them out loud:
"'Xie Duo is awesome, this song is so catchy', hey, that's not true."

"'I'm a fan of Xie Duo, I love her unique style', you should have been a fan of me a long time ago!"

She would reply from time to time, laughing wildly and heartily.

Finally, she sighed:
"Sure enough, encountering a good opportunity is much better than working hard on your own!"

As soon as these words came out, the agent beside him couldn't help but frowned and reminded helplessly:
"Image! Image!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Duo immediately rolled his eyes and replied nonchalantly: "We're in the RV and no one can see us, so what's the point of having an image?" After saying that, he crossed his legs carelessly, exuding an aura of "I'm famous, so who am I afraid of?"

Then she flipped through the comments and read aloud:

"'Xie Duo sang the soul of "Wild Wolf Disco", it's so authentic', that's not good, I have to grasp our Northeast culture, I have to grasp it tightly!"

The agent was helpless, shook his head, and ignored her, and began to deal with the dense schedule and cooperation invitations on the computer screen by himself.

She knew that "Wild Wolf Disco" had indeed made Xie Duo famous, but the more prosperous the moment was, the more she couldn't relax.

Xie Duo was too proud of herself, but she couldn't be too proud of herself, because she knew that such an opportunity was fleeting. Only by fully grasping the opportunity brought by "Wild Wolf Disco" and grabbing every bit of traffic from it could Xie Duo move forward to a higher level. (End of this chapter)
