America's Top Player

Chapter 76 I Want to Diss You

Li Ang looked at his November schedule and was almost overwhelmed by endless commercial performances and new album promotions.

During this time he will travel to twelve different cities across the United States.

As the conflict with Kanye and Chris intensified, he simply gave Davis some money to protect him closely.

Although this guy is short in stature, he is particularly good at fighting.

In Brownsville, even gang members didn't dare to provoke this "vicious dog" who would draw his gun if he disagreed with someone.

Li Ang used common PUA tactics to brainwash her: "Protect me well, and you will be the next one to become famous!"

This is not just talk.

Li Ang was thinking that if this guy could really take a bullet for him, he might actually release an album for him.

The premise is that the other party can survive.

On his way to Atlantic City, New Jersey to promote his new album, Li Ang received a call from ROC Vice President Lenny.

The other party probably meant that JAY-Z didn't want the conflict between him and Kanye to continue to escalate.

In short: hype is fine, but don't overdo it.

Phil laughed and said, "It looks like Kanye has reported you to JAY-Z. Your days in ROC may not be easy from now on."

Li Ang spread his hands and said nothing.

Beef between rappers is a common way to generate hype. JAY-Z has been in this industry for so many years that he must understand this.

Now that ROC has invested heavily in its new album, it is definitely a good thing to stir up some beef on the eve of its release.

Li Ang said: "Kanye was Jay-Z's younger brother who was made famous, but that's all in the past, isn't it?"

"Kanye established his own record company."

Kanye invested in RAF Records, the predecessor of ROC Kingdom, as early as 2005, when JAY-Z was the president of the company.

During this period, he truly established his status as a top rap superstar with the "Dropout Bear" trilogy.

But in 2007, JAY-Z resigned as the president of RAF and took away most of the artists and resources to form his own ROC Kingdom.

However, Kanye did not follow his big brother JAY-Z, but instead signed directly with RAF's parent company Dave Jim.

Even though JAY-Z owns shares in Dave Jim, this action is still a blatant betrayal of Big Brother.

Phil snorted coldly, picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey.

"Although you have some skills in solving problems, you are still young after all."

"Strength is the prerequisite for mutual respect. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Ang nodded. He understood that his status was not big enough.

If Kanye had continued to linger in the second tier after leaving JAY-Z, JAY-Z might have criticized this traitor regardless of the occasion.

But now he is already a top star, and there is even a good chance that he will be the next rapper to enter the superstar hall.

In this case, opposition becomes redundant.

Bored in the car, Li Ang opened his social media app and started browsing.

"Danm Bro, take a look at what this is?" Davis, who was sitting in the back seat of the business car, excitedly handed over his phone.

The page on the display stayed on Chris's Bluebird homepage.

"WTF? What's wrong with this Nico?"

Li Ang took the phone nonchalantly.

This time, Chris did not issue a death threat to him, but instead used the main weapon used by rappers to resolve conflicts: DISS.

In the black community, DISS can be understood as a culture, a weapon. Simply put, it is an "art form" that has evolved from black people swearing on the street.

In a DISS song, the rapper will integrate the negative information about his opponent and combine it with drum beats to form a complete work.

Chris's work is called "Longinus", and you can tell who it is directed at just from the name.

Leon's nickname is "Street Coconut Crisp", and Longinus is the name of the Roman centurion whose weapon was inserted into Coconut Crisp's heart.

"Look, this guy is here to add to the hype again!"

Phil seemed even more excited than Leon, and hurriedly turned up the volume of his phone to the maximum.

In the lyrics, Chris describes himself as a real gangster thug, and Leon as a wimp who has never even touched a gun.

He even incorporated his experiences beating women into his lyrics to showcase his thug nature.

However, Chris seemed to be aware that he had suffered losses in the Los Angeles nightclub incident and did not spend too much time describing the violence.

Instead, he focuses on showing off that he has played with more women and made more money.
The entire lyrics are his imagination, which is a common method used by rappers to write DISS songs.

Spiritual victory method.

In reality, I may be tortured by you, but in the lyrics, I am the lawless Al Capone with Thomson.

But there is one line in the lyrics that is so true that even Li Ang has to admit that he was touched by it.

"My garage is full of Lamborghinis, and you're hooking up with your blonde chick in a junked Corolla."

Phil laughed out loud when he heard this. "You damn miser. You make so much money but you can't even afford to buy a decent car."

Davis also made a fuss, saying that if he were Li Ang, he would also take out a loan to buy a luxury apartment in the Upper East Side.
Seeing everyone cheering, Li Ang felt that it was time to change cars.

In capitalism, if making money is not for enjoyment, then is it for giving back to society?
"This guy is giving you free popularity. Seize the opportunity to give him a hard blow and give him a diss!"

"You might have forgotten I'm not a rapper."

Phil waved his hand dismissively. "It's just a song with dirty words and an instrumental. Any black homeless person on the street could write it."

Hearing this, Davis, the Battle MC, was obviously unhappy. Swearing is his job.

“Bro, diss songs aren’t as easy as you think!”

"You have to rack your brains to come up with some catchy lines that will make the audience climax! This is not just swearing!"

He nudged Leon with his arm and said, "If you need it, the toughest man in Brownsville is always available to provide you with guidance."

Traffic is the life of an artist.

No matter what JAY-Z's thoughts are, he must seize the traffic that is now coming to his doorstep.

It's just that he had never been exposed to rap, and it took some time for him to compile all the swear words in his mind into a song.

"Let Chris be arrogant for a while and see how hot this matter gets."

Two hours later, Li Ang and his team arrived at the destination of this promotion - Ace Plaza Casino.

This casino was once the center of Atlantic City, but it is on the verge of bankruptcy as the gaming industry here declines.

Even more famous than the casino itself is its owner, Tang De.

Although he sold most of his stake in the casino last year, he still holds onto hope of reviving it.

He has been the most famous real estate developer in New York since the 70s, and there are skyscrapers and casinos named after him in major cities across the United States.

Later, he extended his tentacles to the entertainment industry and also made a name for himself.

In the entertainment industry, he is MJ's best friend. In the sports world, he is Tyson's agent and the only man the beast admires.
He even appeared on WWE, the most famous wrestling entertainment program in the United States, last year and shaved the head of the company's owner Vince McMahon.

He can succeed in everything he does. He is so lucky that he seems like a chosen one.
