Chapter 1580 Explosive Skill Showdown (Part 1)
Under everyone's gaze, KZ slowly raised the microphone.
However, his speech shocked everyone present.
"If we judge solely on the singer's singing ability, technique, and the song itself."
“I believe that Ye Zhi Qiu has the potential to become the ‘God of Rap’.”
"Whoa!!" The words were met with astonishment from the entire audience.
Who is KZ? A veteran and superstar in the rap world, the rapper with the most Grammy Awards in history, and the undisputed king of rap.
His comments carried the most weight among everyone present.
But no one could have imagined that he would have such a high opinion of Ye Zhi Qiu.
Upon hearing this, Brooks, who had just finished criticizing Ye Zhi Qiu, couldn't sit still and immediately retorted, "HELL NO!"
"Have you heard 'Just the Way You Lie'? The flow of this song is so bland, there's absolutely no skill involved."
"Honestly, this level of writing is something I could do when I was in elementary school."
KZ shrugged and said, "You're in elementary school now too."
It is well known that many Black rappers do not have high levels of education; Brooks, for example, did not finish elementary school.
The audience burst into laughter, Brooks' face darkened, and KZ continued.
Indeed, the rhythm of the song "Just the Way You Lie" is not very varied and is rather bland.
"But let's be clear, it's not that Ye Zhi Qiu can't, but that he doesn't need to."
"This is not an aggressive song, but a conversational performance where technology serves the content. This is the standard by which art is established."
"If you've heard Ye Zhi Qiu's non-rap works, you'll know that he considers himself a master of rhythm."
TZ's words resonated with many in the audience, but another singer who sided with Blaise clearly had a different opinion.
“No, no, no,” McCree shook his head.
“Man, we’re talking about rap, so let’s get back to that. I don’t care about his other damn music styles.”
"Not only is the rhythm weak, but the rhyming in the lyrics, which is the most important aspect of rap, is also very weak."
"Hey! This isn't right!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Before TZ could even speak, the other two "neutral" singers were the first to strongly object to this viewpoint.
"Do you really think so?" TZ asked.
"Although the rap part of this song is not very long, it showcases quite a few skills."
"We all know that rap lyrics rhyme in various ways, including monosyllabic, disyllabic, and polysyllabic rhymes, and the difficulty increases with each syllable."
"Leaving aside the single and two-syllable lines, the lyric 'Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano' in this song uses a three-syllable rhyme technique, as well as a cross-line rhyme scheme with the preceding and following lines..."
“These are the most advanced rhyming techniques in rap songs, so I disagree with your statement that Ye Zhi Qiu’s lyrics have weak rhymes.”
"In fact, the rhyming of rap lyrics is essentially a game of manipulating words. If I remember correctly, Ye Zhi Qiu was the Emmy Award winner for Best Screenplay."
"You don't naively think that a top screenwriter can't write a few rhyming lyrics, do you?"
