關於 american rappers ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Throwback Thursday (TBT): 大家有在看大嘻哈時代The Rappers嗎？說真的，我覺得很妙的是，很多次當人家在談台灣嘻哈這個話題時，好像不少人都不記得or不知道我也是台灣嘻哈故事當中的一部分⋯。
當年我回來台灣想一起幫助把台灣嘻哈弄起來，和大支，熱狗，J.Wu一起加入了大馬戲團。我記得那時有多難搞，那時嘻哈音樂在台灣非常的不受到重視，很多唱片公司都抱持存疑的態度。
The struggle was real....
最後終於我們可以發行了個人的專輯s和MVs，打開了這扇門，所以也因爲有我們這些朋友走過，也才有今天的台灣嘻哈環境。不過沒關係啦，你們知道就好了！但是呢，If YOU don't know....... YOU bettah ask somebody!!!!!!! 😆
Oh btw, 農曆新年快樂 y’all! 🐂 Rock on!!! 🤘

So a new show came out in Taiwan called, “Hip Hop Era: The Rappers”. In it, they talk to a few OGs about the history of hip hop in Taiwan and how the culture developed and grew. It’s a pretty good show, but it also reminded me of how whenever people talk about the history of hip hop in Taiwan, people either forget, or don’t know that I, this American kid from Houston, was a part of the struggle to grow hip hop in Taiwan.

Man, back when I first got to Taiwan, the hip hop community was SO small, and the crew I joined that consisted of Dwagie, MC HotDog, and J.Wu worked so hard to share and expand hip hop in the country. I still remember how record companies didn’t understand it, and couldn’t fathom the thought of releasing a full-length hip hop album. 😂 The struggle was real....

Finally, after a lot of hustlin’, grindin’, and persevering, we all got to release our albums and MVs with a major label, thus helping to pave the way for all the young bucks coming up now. Today, hip hop in Taiwan has really blown up, and I’m blessed to have been a part of the journey to get it to where it is now. Maybe bc I tend to keep a lower profile, many people in Taiwan don’t know some of this stuff. That’s ok, as long as in my heart I know. lol But, if YOU don’t know....... YOU bettah ask somebody!!!!!!! 😆

Happy Lunar New Year y’all! 🐂 Rock on!!!🤘

只有大支可以超越大支了！

Dwagie -【Refuse to listen】feat.Nas/大支【不聽】feat.Nas
相信聽過中文版本“不聽”的朋友都知道這首歌是在寫有一個人他要前進他夢想中的山頂,沿路大家都跟他說路途充滿艱辛他不可能到達的了,眾人不斷對他威脅恐嚇或冷嘲熱諷,但那人不為所動好像沒聽到一樣,而最後他終於到達了他夢想中的山頂,當大家問他成功的訣竅時他卻還是像沒聽到一樣沒回答,原來…他是聾子.
他只聽的見他心裡的聲音,朝夢想一步一步踏實的前進..
我也用這首歌來勉勵自己,唱英文rap前進美國市場絕對有超多困難得克服.
首先是用不是母語的語言創作,因為時差問題,我除了每天白天處理國內人人有功練的事情,接著每天晚上就是跟國外饒舌歌手skype喬英文歌詞.不只歌詞意思要喬到100%精準,更要喬到聽起來像我的用字.
然後很多人也笑我發音不夠標準,其實我也同意ＸＤ.
但我也知道我只要一直比別人更努力我就會越來越好,我有把握不久的將來我能把英語像母語一樣創作與饒舌.
再來是更多人笑我前往美國發展是不切實際是癡人說夢,但對我而言,那裡就是嘻哈的發源地,是我一切夢想的開始.
還記得以前我們一群人在台南的小巷子裡跟朋友開玩笑時總是幻想說有一天要去紐約發展, 說有一天要跟這些偶像們合作.沒想到我真的像拼圖一樣集滿了我最喜歡並影響我最深的三個饒舌歌手Nas,Talib Kweli,Ghostface Killah去完成了第一張英文EP.小時候的玩伴們感動的說以前開玩笑的話語沒想到有一天居然成真了～
原來“夢想”只要肯拼,肯踏實的去做,你就有可能做的到 .
別忘了,迪士尼的一切都是由一個夢想和一隻老鼠開始的～
所以當沒有人相信你的時候 你越要相信自己 ！
保持信念,傾聽自己心裡的聲音,讓我們一起前進 前進 前進！！！

This song is about a man wants to go to a place where no others have ever gone to. On his way, everyone is telling him how dangerous and impossible the trip is. Eventually the man reaches his destination. When people ask him how he does it, he has no response – because he is deaf.
This is a story I use to represent myself. A lot of people have told me how impossible my goal is, but I have kept my faith and moved forward.

繼 2018 年金音獎入圍的《炮打司令部》後，中文嘻哈界絕無僅有的共產主義饒舌歌手鍾翔宇與英國製作人 Ransom-Notes 馬不停蹄地聯手炮製出六首歌的新專輯《星星之火》，相較於上張專輯還有如〈保力達B〉、〈偶像的手冊〉等比較詼諧幽默的歌曲，這張專輯顯得更加嚴肅而深入的闡述自己的意識形態。

即使如此，這張專輯並沒有流於自我重複的說教，而是透過自己在美國成長過程親眼目睹的（台灣媒體跟好萊塢電影不告訴你的）具體事實，鍾翔宇戳破所謂的「美國夢」，一層一層爬梳嘻哈音樂如何失去最初的反抗精神、分析爭取勞動權益的困境甚至環保議題。很難想像這麼龐大的知識量被鍾翔宇精巧的放在一張不到 20 分鐘的專輯當中，這樣大膽的嘗試絕對值得你靜下心搭配歌詞細細玩味。搭配 Ransom-Notes 充滿黃金年代風格的編曲，讓嚴肅的歌詞不再難以下嚥。而鍾翔宇精心設計的多韻和不時的好笑 punchline，也展現他想讓歌曲直面普羅大眾的誠意。

批判美國的霸權和當今的社會經濟制度等於動搖了非常多人的基本信念，鍾翔宇也深知這一點。然而看到不公不義的事實而站出來發聲，這是讓鍾翔宇之所以愛上嘻哈的浪漫初衷。《星星之火》這張專輯就如同他的偶像，英國嘻哈詩人 Lowkey 的 “Soundtrack to the Struggle” 一樣，是貨真價實的革命之聲，所有真心想衝破世界當今所面對的困境的人，肯定能從鍾翔宇的音樂中得到啟發。


Shortly after his 2018 album "Bombard the Headquarters" was nominated best hip hop album by the Golden Indie Music Awards, Xiangyu, one of the few openly communist rappers in the Sinosphere, together with his comrade Ransom-Notes from the UK, began working on "a Single Spark." In comparison to his previous album, which contains comedic songs like "Paolyta B" and "the Idol's Handbook," "a Single Spark" takes on a more serious tone and delves deeper into Xiangyu's ideology.

Despite the comparatively somber tone, this new album avoids repetitive preaching. Through sharing his personal experiences and the things he saw growing up in the United States, Xiangyu debunks the so-called "American Dream." Using materialist dialectics, he tells us how hip hop has lost its rebellious essence, and also analyzes power dynamics and touches on topics such as the environment. It is difficult to imagine how Xiangyu and Ransom-Notes were able to condense such a vast expanse of knowledge into an album less than 20 minutes in length. You will not be disappointed should you decide to sit down and listen to such a bold album while studying the lyrics. Reminiscent of hip hop's golden age, Ransom-Notes' beatmaking provides the listener with the sugar that makes the pill easier to swallow. Xiangyu's carefully constructed rhymes and the occasional humorous punch line demonstrate his sincere attempt to make his agitprop more accessible to the layperson.

Criticizing US hegemony and the socioeconomic order of today is tantamount to shattering the fundamental beliefs of many, and Xiangyu is acutely aware of this. The fact that hip hop can serve as a platform for pointing out injustices is what attracted Xiangyu to the genre in the first place. "A Single Spark" is similar to "Soundtrack to the Struggle" by Lowkey, one of Xiangyu's influences, in the sense that it is truly revolutionary in content. Those who genuinely seek to transform the predicaments plaguing our world today will certainly find inspiration in Xiangyu's music.

#星星之火 #鍾翔宇 #aSingleSpark

This time we go to New York City’s Times Square to ask random strangers, many of whom had never heard of BLACKPINK or even K-pop before, to pick who they thought was the prettiest BLACKPINK member!!! This was a suggestion from a bunch of you since our last video about BTS, so keep the suggestions coming! Whether you’re a fan of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, or Lisa, let us know what you love about them in the comments below!

As I mentioned in the video, this is more intended as a fun examination of Korean, American, and international beauty standards — we’re definitely not trying to say one is truly prettier than the other, and of course they’re all incredible singers and dancers and rappers (with the most stunning outfits of maybe any K-pop group)! Hope you enjoy the video!
