Chapter 51 Guess Who Wants Zisha Teapots Now (1)

As one of the most watched rappers right now, Wolf Naxi is the focus of the entire rap scene, with countless eyes watching and waiting for him to release his album.

What's more, he became so popular that he made outrageous statements even before the music was released, saying things like he wanted all the rappers in China who make the same type of music to commit suicide.

While rappers have always been known for their arrogance, which is a common characteristic, none have reached this level of audacity. Most people simply hold an attitude and wouldn't risk offending fellow artists with whom they have no prior grudges.

But for Wolf Naxi to say those words and become so arrogant, one can imagine just how popular he is right now.

That's the truth. The number of Wolf Naxi's fans is so large and so fanatical that they practically treat Wolf Naxi like their father. In short, whatever Wolf Naxi does is always the best in their eyes, and they can suppress any voices or people who oppose their idol.

Take Xiao Zhongge for example; he has been constantly being chased and cursed by Wolf Naxi's fans during this period.

It's all because of that comment he left on Weibo a while ago: Isn't his approach inappropriate? Doing something is one thing, but why drag others down with him? He even brought up Zisha teapots, and didn't he become famous because of the show? Now he's criticizing the show, what's the difference between that and cursing the cook after you've eaten your fill? That doesn't align with my values.

At the same time, this is also Xiao Zhongge's true thought at the moment. He really can't understand why domestic hip-hop insists on promoting this approach.
Then they even went so far as to claim that it was originally American culture, originally gang culture derived from the slums, that it was just like that, and kept saying that it was part of the culture!

Others might not understand, but for Xiao Zhongge, a true niche music enthusiast who listens to all kinds of foreign music year-round, he knows a thing or two.

For example, in America, this situation is actually quite rare among rappers.

This culture was developed to avoid conflict and reduce bloodshed, resolving disputes peacefully through rap battles.

Therefore, it actually emphasizes the concept of 'peace and love' and 'respect'.

Over there, dissing a colleague is a very sensitive act. Dissing is only done when there is a particularly big dispute or an irreconcilable conflict.

Moreover, it will only target the person involved and will not indiscriminately belittle others.

Randomly criticizing people can ruin your career. Even if you have no grudge against someone, randomly criticizing them can actually make them angry and threaten to kill you every day.

He would never casually make gangster hand gestures on television! That would be suicidal!
Only in the Chinese pop culture community would you see this kind of rampant dissing and sweeping generalizations.

He simply expressed his thoughts and was immediately attacked with insults. Even though he was so annoyed that he deleted the comment, someone still posted a screenshot of it. Then, a bunch of people found his account through his ID code and continued to attack him.

Its madness was so extreme that even Xiao Zhongge began to question the meaning of life.

He couldn't help but ask, when did hip-hop become so fan-like? How can this kind of culture give rise to fandoms?
Has the Chinese music scene become this abstract now?

Take a look at his private messages; they're utterly appalling.

Strawberry Gummy Sakura: "Get lost, you jerk!"

Little Bear Flower: "Do you even know what hip-hop is? Do you know what street culture is? If you think anyone can beat Wolf Naxi, come on, tag him and say something!"

Coco Lily: "In the future, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can shut up and get lost. Don't use your brain, which only thinks about dirty jokes, to fantasize about other normal men. You're just jealous because you see other people succeeding."

The profile pictures are all pink and cute or fresh and innocent, but the messages left behind are getting harder and harder to pass the review. These are the ones that are still somewhat acceptable.

No normal person would be unaffected by being insulted; Xiao Zhongge is just an ordinary person.

The current situation has completely disrupted his normal life.

But he couldn't say anything, because he was only one person and really couldn't handle so many people, even if he had eight more tentacles. And most importantly, besides hurling insults, he really couldn't think of a good way to refute them. If you told them what real Hip Hop is like, they wouldn't listen, they wouldn't understand, and they wouldn't watch it.

Then, if you really want to find a rapper who can directly defeat Wolf Nash in the Memphis rap scene, there really isn't one.

To put it bluntly, apart from Wolf Naxi, the other rappers in Memphis in China are really just stuck in the sidelines right now. This is the biggest reason why, even though Wolf Naxi is so arrogant, no other rappers in Memphis have come out to voice their opposition.

What angered Xiao Zhongge the most was that Lang Naxi himself didn't care.

Now that this matter has become so big, many people have been affected, and he is just one of them.

His fans have almost turned their attacks on those who disagree with them into a witch hunt. He doesn't believe that Wolf Nash is unaware that his fans are cyberbullying others.

But he still didn't react, so there's only one possibility: he didn't want to care.

This disappointed him greatly, and he was disappointed with Chinese hip-hop artists.

You keep saying "Keep on real" every day, yet you act like a hip-hop artist, saying you're not afraid of anything and that you're the coolest.

Then, when faced with the excessive behavior of fans, they dare not speak out to stop it, for fear of losing fans.

They're both so perfect!

"But this guy's song is actually pretty good." Xiao Zhongge said, wearing headphones and looking at the progress bar on the player.

Although he was unconvinced, that was all he could say.

He still listened to Wolf Naxi's new album, not because he wanted to, but simply because he wanted to find fault with it so he could retaliate against those brainless fans who were relentlessly attacking him.

But I just can't pick it out.

Because the flavor was so authentic, if he hadn't known beforehand that it was sung by Wolf Nash and that it also had Chinese lyrics, he would have really thought the person on the other end was a black man just by listening to the voice.

He also criticized Wolf Nash for making things too Black and too similar to American things, saying that they lacked their own unique style and culture, and were simply using cultural appropriation to attack those brainless fans. He also pointed out that even now, American rappers are pursuing innovation and new elements.

In addition, he also said this at the time: "What the hell is this Chinese trap? Chinese Memphis? What purebred Memphis is there in China? At most, it has this style. Does China have guns? Does China have a criminal gang? You say you're keeping it real, you say you're making it authentic, so is your next step to promote contraband?"

But he faced even greater ridicule.

"Hilarious! They don't even have their own style yet, and they call it localization? Do you even know what this is? Rap! Memphis! It's gangster culture to begin with, and they call it localization? How can you localize it? This style is just like that."

"Localization? You just throw around that idea? Come on, find me something, I'll eat it!"

Xiao Zhongge was very angry, but he really had no choice.

One person's strength is too weak.

However, just as he was agonizing over his own thoughts, a sudden notification caught his attention.
The musician you follow, 'Xia Shen SKYINDEEP', has released a new album. Come and give it a listen!
