My attention was completely captivated by the scene on stage.
Besides Italian translation.
Wang Yueheng's live performance was also translated into English and displayed on the big screen.
This makes it easier for overseas fans and audiences to understand the lyrics.
"This style of song is so weird~"
"It is completely different from the previous 'Nunchucks' and 'Compendium of Materia Medica'."
Ma Li stared at Wang Yueheng on stage, who was engaged in a fierce battle with gang members, and couldn't help but comment.
Just like when I first heard "Nunchucks".
She couldn't judge whether the song was good or bad based on her past experience.
There's a certain inexplicable rhythm and beauty hidden within it.
"This is called the creation of heaven and earth."
“I guess Wang Yueheng wants to use different types of music to broaden the scope of Chinese rap.”
"Tell those hip-hop artists that foreign cultures can also be used by us, and we can sing them in our own language!"
Chen Tengruo rested her chin on her hand and replied thoughtfully.
What he cares more about is the story that Wang Yueheng's alternative rap song tells.
We are all guilty.
"committing different crimes"
"I can decide who's right."
"And who should sleep..."
The scene shifts.
The scene appears on a bustling city street in the United States.
The blond baby boy who was once taken away by his godfather has grown into an adult.
They led their gang members in battles for territory in the streets and alleys.
Every time a bullet pierces the enemy's body.
The blond man would then burst into a joyful cheer.
They were like demons from hell who came to reap the rewards of human lives.
Only he can decide who is right and who will face permanent slumber.
As for sin, it doesn't matter.
Leave it to God to judge after death...
A fierce and ruthless personality.
This earned the blond boy the respect of his subordinates.
He gradually became his godfather's right-hand man, and every time he returned from a battle, he would be patted on the head by his kind godfather.
The blond boy clearly enjoyed the sense of honor.
They didn't see anything wrong with slaughtering enemies for territory and business.
"Have you noticed that Wang Yueheng's other songs all promote and celebrate the positive aspects of China?"
"This song alone describes the darkness of the West."
"That's right, just like how Western rap often uses Chinese people to make fun of them."
"Give them a taste of their own medicine!"
"Let those who fawn over foreign things know that life abroad isn't as peaceful as you think!"
While immersing oneself in Wang Yueheng's captivating and dark style of rap.
The realistic depiction of foreign organized crime in the footage immediately evoked sighs from countless viewers.
I'm so glad I was born in this safe country where guns and drugs are banned.
At least you don't have to worry about being robbed or even shot when you go out, especially late at night.
"Judgment in the name of the father"
"That feeling doesn't have a suitable vocabulary."
"It's like laughing and crying at the same time."
“Gazing into complete darkness…”
Perhaps listeners unfamiliar with foreign cultures will find Wang Yueheng's song...
What resonated most was the unique and unconventional yet inexplicably catchy and engaging musical style.
However, on the other side of the ocean...
Hip-hop godfather JAZ Sean, who was listening to Wang Yueheng's song, felt as if he was hearing a song that attacked his own soul.
The lyrics were translated and displayed on the big screen.
It was as if real bullets were piercing his chest.
Each bullet sent shivers down his spine.
This is a realistic depiction of my childhood...
He joined the gang in his teens and became a member, where he was also known for his bravery and skill in battle.
They engaged in fierce street battles with rival forces in New Zealand in an attempt to seize territory.
Even their families were affected.
After each gang fight ended, he would pray and ask the priest for forgiveness.
Only when he immerses himself in hip-hop music can Shawn release the emotions that are suppressed in his heart through his songs.
It's laughable, yet I'm laughing through my tears.
At that time, gazing into the dark abyss ahead, he could only entrust his future to God.
