Chapter 2254: Cat Getan Music Festival (2)

"King of Cat Getan" tells a relatively complete story, but it's actually very simple: it's nothing more than an old gang member who couldn't stand the conflict with other gangs, felt that he was still sharp, didn't want to live a stable retirement life, insisted on fighting with others with real knives and guns, and as a result, was shot by a black gun and died on the street.

Logically speaking, this kind of plot would have no market in gangster rap, because most civilized people listen to rap not to find resonance at all; they like the violent elements in rap.

Just like some people read martial arts novels because they feel that the chivalry and fast-paced revenge are very satisfying, as if they can be like those heroes to rob the rich and help the poor after reading, which can partially resolve the resentment they suffer from being squeezed by their superiors in reality.

Rap is the same. Listening to rap is like having already blown the brains of those who have trouble with you with a gun, so even if it is a rap that is more inclined to lyrical, there must be an aggressive part. Of course, the main perspective of the rapper must be the final winner, and everyone else is trash.

But the story written by the Cat Getan Kid is really a bit too unsatisfying. The protagonist is an old man, and he was defeated, and it was his own fault. The whole article is just a fantasy of a dying person. The violent elements are very implicit, and there are too many bridges of mental disorder, so there is really no refreshing point.

But the melody of this song is quite catchy, sounding with a rich Gothic style, as if it is always covered by a layer of wet fog, making people unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

The drum beat in the second half is extremely strong, combined with the continuous flashing of the picture described by the lyrics, plus the Cat Getan Kid's angry tone and exquisite rhyme, even if you don't understand the content, it is a good song that you will almost never skip once you hear it.

The first step is to keep the listeners, and the listeners will feel after listening that the story of this content sounds a bit wrong?

Everyone knew Cat Getan was rotten before, but they didn't know how rotten Cat Getan was and how it was rotten. But in this song, the first half realistically depicts the living conditions at the bottom, making everyone realize how ridiculously rotten this city is.

The second half is more profound. Leaving aside those fantasy plots that are like mental illness, what is more realistic is that the attacks on the drawbacks of the gang system are all reasonable.

This also makes people realize how the elderly who walked out of the prosperous era of gangs in Cat Getan view this system. They are not passionate at all, not shouting to shoot anyone, just full of pessimism and despair.

This thick tragic color almost makes people breathless, but before people could react, everything changed again. A new era has arrived.

Although it didn't specifically say where it got better, it can be seen from those seemingly complaining words that the gang system is being gradually replaced, and bottom-level people have more serious things to do.

The description of the hopeful picture forms a sharp contrast with the previous depression and darkness, but just when the listeners were secretly happy, the old man died. He didn't have time to enjoy any benefits of the new era, and died one minute before dawn.

And the most explosive thing is that after he died, Cat Getan saw the light again.

So many ups and downs, despair and hope, hope and despair, making people feel like they are on a roller coaster.

And when the song ended, almost everyone who heard it was silent, feeling that their brains had been severely crushed.

And listening to it a second time, especially looking at the lyrics carefully, you can grasp many details. It is full of a large number of metaphors for social systems, and hidden anger under the tragedy.

When a city becomes a complete tragedy, the magma hidden under the volcano, which is covered by the appearance of order, has never been extinguished. How suppressed they were, they can now erupt with how much shocking anger.

This city is like a ridiculous joke, dark and depressing, absurd and bizarre, like a living tragedy.

But the protagonist in the Cat Getan Kid's story, after seeing countless tragedies in his life, still chose to write his anger with blood. He didn't have to go, but he had to go, because this was the last shot left by countless people like him who used their lives to clear the last obstacle.

This tells everyone that if you want to fight against the cold rain of this dark world night after night, you must never integrate into madness, because there are still warriors who rely on a hot breath in their chests to endure until one dawn after another.

And this album is like the darkest night of this crazy city. After the rain stopped, the winner who defeated fate let out the first roar at the morning light shining on him.

The easiest passion to erupt in this world is revolutionary passion, and the hardest blood to extinguish is revolutionary blood. Everything in Cat Getan has amazing revolutionary nature.

The good news is that they succeeded, and they are still alive.

For the survivors, when they poured all the anger they accumulated in countless nights, and the unspeakable emotion and joy after seeing the light again into the song, it naturally formed an art that no one could surpass.

This art deeply shocked the world.

After listening to the entire album of "King of Cat Getan" for the first time, the rap singers on the East Coast expressed their desire to see this genius teenager. Unfortunately, no matter how rebellious they are, they still cherish their lives. People don't come out, and they don't dare to go in.

But after the news that Cat Getan was going to hold a music festival came out, they couldn't sit still anymore. They thought that since the Cat Getan government had the confidence to hold such a big event, the safety should be relatively guaranteed.

Taking a step back, there are so many tourists that it might not be their turn to be shot. Maybe going to this city to wander around can get more inspiration?

Just like that, many well-known East Coast rap singers arrived in Cat Getan a few days before the music festival, including Biggie and Puff Daddy.

Puff Daddy is a famous rap producer in the United States and one of the rap godfathers. The other is naturally from the West Coast. He most wanted to see this mysterious Cat Getan Kid (Cat Getan Bloke), but most of it was out of the need to revive East Coast rap.

And Biggie, he was more interested in the other party's creative method.

Fans who have heard the last album of this big guy before he died should know that in "Ready to Die," chaos and evil always exist. Although the metropolis replaced New York in this universe, it doesn't mean that this city of light has no alcoholism, drug trafficking, and robbery.

As long as it is an American city, it is difficult to avoid these things. As long as there are slums and chaotic blocks, there can be no gangsters—Biggie also said in the album that he saw Superman flying in the sky, but the ground was as usual.

If you have to make an evaluation of the theme of this album, it is probably to live, to live with all your strength.

So it is conceivable that this is also a rap album with relatively dark and desperate content, and it is also different from the previous cold and vicious aggressive style of the East Coast.

Biggie was still exploring, and recently he was entangled in trivial matters, really couldn't get away, and his creation was in a bottleneck. He felt that he and this Cat Getan Kid must have common topics. Maybe after a communication between the two, the new album could have new inspiration.

So he even arrived earlier than Puff Daddy, just to find this mysterious Cat Getan Kid before the music festival started.

But unfortunately, Cat Getan's grandfather is really a grandfather. Even if this place is much better, it is not something that slums in other cities can touch. Biggie was robbed on his first day here, and his credit card was stolen for more than 6,000 USD.

Normal people should go to the police, but unfortunately, the big guy is also mixing in gangs, and more importantly, his growth environment makes him know that a big black man like him walking into the police station doesn't need to do anything, doesn't need to say anything, the radical police will give him a shot, and the conservative police will feel that the radical police are too conservative.

In this era, the black-white conflict in the United States is still very fierce, and the regional segregation between blacks and whites is quite serious. Most people of color can only mix in their own territory. Blacks look for blacks when they have things, and whites look for whites when they have things. Whoever dares to mix, whoever waits for bad luck.

But it's not like that in Cat Getan. Cat Getan, whether you are black, white, or chocolate, anyone can do the job of robbery, because stereotypes only guard against people with dark skin, and they will be very unlucky.

Biggie just understood this point, because the one who just robbed him was a white man, but according to his rich robbery experience, most robbers won't run far after robbing a wallet, and will throw away things other than money.

Now he is relatively rich, so he doesn't care about that little money. He directly followed the route the robber escaped to find the documents in his bag, and there were concert tickets in it.

As a result, he didn't see the bag after chasing all the way. Just like that, he lost his driver's license and tickets, and had no cash on him to rent a car, and it was visible to the naked eye that if he did his old job here, it would be too easy to be beaten to death, so he could only return to the hotel in a dejected manner.

Here I have to mention the difference between Cat Getan robbers and most other cities. Most robbers in other cities are greedy for money, while Cat Getan robbers are purely brain-dead. Sometimes they don't want money, they just want you to have no money.

Although Cat Getan's situation is improving now, the generation polluted by darkness has not died out, and is even still the main labor force in the city. So the overall spiritual atmosphere of this city is still worrying. It is really a gangster who comes here and has to scold "bad luck."

Like Biggie, there are quite a few people looking for the currently hottest Cat Getan Kid. Logically speaking, Cat Getan's tourism industry is booming, and Batman can be invited to stand guard. Why doesn't the Cat Getan Kid sing two sentences on the radio?

But until the opening ceremony, no one had heard of his whereabouts. Ordinary people are not too anxious. Anyway, they have tickets. Even if they can't see him at the concert, he will definitely show up at the rap competition held on the third day. They can just watch it then.

But rap singers are not like this. I said before that the war of words between the East and West coasts is in full swing, and almost all singers have been threatened by the other side. The entire American rap music circle is in a state of being on the verge of breaking out.

It is precisely because of this that the rap singers on the East and West coasts arrived at this Cat Getan Music Festival more completely than the Grammys. In addition to the East Coast singers, it is natural that the West Coast team also arrived. ===== CHAPTER 2255 =====
