Analysis:

R & Today, B and Hip-Hop have become fashionable. Many mainstream singers are playing these two styles of music, whether abroad, Hong Kong, Taiwan or even at home.

Let's start with hip-hop This kind of music rhythm is directly aimed at and suitable for hip hop, which is easy to form a visual impact. Nowadays, the success of "Korean Wave" depends to a great extent on the dance arranged by Hip-Hop, while the dance steps of NEW SCHOOL are further interpreted by the rhythm of OLD SCHOOL, which is novel and provocative. The Korean band H.O.T performed this kind of music well on the stage. However, compared with the United States, the birthplace of hip-hop music, due to the differences in geography, history, nationality and culture, bands like H.O.T do not have too many black dance colors, and they also avoid being influenced by too many old disadvantages of rap music. Therefore, Asian hip-hop music is unique, different from American new york style and LA style.

When it comes to American-style hip-hop music, we must feel it through hearing, not vision. Because in the evolution of Hip-Hop in the United States, dance changes with the change of music, and the development from the old school to the new school is largely caused by the change of rhythm, which may be the biggest difference between Hip-Hop music and beautiful women. To talk about hip-hop music, we must go back to the rap era of Dr.Dre.

Hip hop music is developed from rap music. Rap is a kind of music with great impact and controversy, and its lyrics are distorted and chaotic, full of violence and incitement. The albums "Strange Outta Compton" and "The slim shady" represented by the "black and white villains" such as Dr.Dre and Eminem can well reflect the dark and reactionary thoughts of rap music.

When rap music developed to the era of rapper 2PAC, rap gradually became artistic, with more cultural elements in its content. 2PAC rap songs have added some soft rock elements. Although the album "Until the End of Time" is poorly produced and the mixing is noisy, the string is still faintly interrupted, and the discussion about sexual rights can be heard in the content. With the further evolution, this kind of music form, which is regarded as a heterogeneous form by orthodox music in the music industry, is regarded as an inferior street garbage culture by music guardians in the mainstream society because it is too maverick and weird, and at the same time it can have a huge spiritual impact on young people. Therefore, in the era of Hip-Hop, it is impossible to make a moderate compromise in terms of content and form. Many other musical elements have been incorporated into the music form, and the vocabulary of frontal attack in the song content has dropped sharply.

However, here, I don't want to elaborate too much on the compromise of hip-hop in music. Instead, I want to introduce DMX, a hard-core rapper with rebellious style. As a new force in the field of rap, DMX is used to swearing lyrics, unruly and likes to make trouble. From DMX's music, we can feel the style of hip-hop music returning to the primitive and chaotic street rap era.

2 Reply: Music knowledge The contrast between hip-hop and R & ampb

DMX reveals a sensitive, angry and lonely feeling from his hoarse and rough voice. For example, the song "Sometimes" is purely plain, vulgar and barbaric, but the artistic conception is true and the expression is true. "School Street" takes gunfire and church bells as the music background, which symbolizes death and crime. The explosion at the end of the song has moving sound effects. The song BLOODINE ANTHEM, which can best embody the hardcore style of DMX, stands out in the strong and blunt noise of electric guitar, embellished with vulgar and vicious words, and the hardcore style is prominent.

In fact, the sound of DMX is not a lawless extreme compared with death metal and ferrous metal. His music is based on a kind of negative consciousness, which is a kind of sound art that combines barbarism without individualism with setbacks in real life. It has a rough and intuitive critical spirit, which not only tries to subvert the value system of traditional aesthetics and shake the position of orthodox music, but also tries to resist the traditional values of society with the dormitory view of mechanical solipsism. However, because hip-hop music itself has not built a complete value system, the sound of DMX can only represent other bright colors in hip-hop music, but not all of them.

Then talk about R &；; B, it appeared earlier than Hip-Hop and evolved from the early Bruce. Compared with Hip-Hop, it is more musical and melodic in style. R & ampb simplifies the composition of pure blues instruments and pays more attention to the singer's singing level. Early research and development; There are many excellent singers, such as bill haley. But up to now, R& ampb has been compared with the early R&; B it's very different. Just like Craig Edgeworth Beresford David, the youngest R & British singer, his R & B There are many garage elements in the music, and more elements of rock, jazz and gospel are blended. In the album "Born to do this", the "two-step/garage" style is created. For those who are used to listening to the traditional R&; B music, his songs are undoubtedly fresh, warm and soft, with strong youthful flavor and vitality, but musically they come from orthodox R&B, his R&; B (including most of today's research and development; B music), has deviated from the early R &；; B frame. So I think in today's R&; B artists hear early r&; B the style of music is already difficult. However, the audience in China is relatively lucky, because some works in the album of Jay Chou, a singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan, are of early style, such as William Castle and nunchakus, and a few works are of hip-hop style, such as Dad, I'm Back. Although I can't agree with your singing, it's still worth listening to in terms of style.

The difference between R & ampB and Hip-Hop in musical style is because there are too many musical elements interwoven and infiltrated between them, so it is impossible to distinguish them absolutely. From the perspective of music history, their development and evolution all have the color of black culture. Although the forms of expression are different, the early ideological connotation is similar. They evolved from a variety of musical elements, and these musical elements influenced each other in the evolution. Therefore, R&; Up to now, b and Hip-Hop still have a lot of sex. If distinction must be added, it can only be simply summarized as: R &；; B sings most of the time, and Hip-Hop talks and dances most of the time.
