Heavy metal and hip-hop rap

Heavy metal music is transformed from hard rock music style, so the early heavy metal band KISS and Judas priests have obvious hard rock style. It came into being in the 1970s and reached its peak in the middle and late 1980s. Its musical features are heavy bass, improvisation, rebellious lyrics, energetic performance and singing. Since then, many classifications have been derived, such as avant-garde metals, death metals, ferrous metals and torrent metals. In a broad sense, these branches are also collectively referred to as heavy metal music. As a China person, Beyond's rock and roll is great. Hip hop is a life attitude originated from primitive tribes in Africa. It first arose among African-American and Hispanic youths in new york, and then developed and spread all over the world. Hip hop culture includes the following four elements: rap, DJ, graffiti and hip hop. In addition, some people think that beatboxing is the fifth element of hip-hop culture; It is also pointed out that political radicalism, hip-hop fashion, hip-hop slang or other elements are important elements of hip-hop culture. For most listeners, these projects have now become synonymous with hip-hop music and rap. However, they are not interchangeable. The rap in MCing is synchronized with the lyrics of music in rhythm, while the rap in DJing is a part of hip-hop music. When black people were brought from Africa to the American mainland by white traffickers, they took root, but they came from different parts of Africa and different tribes and could not talk to each other. In black society, the only common communication tool is English. From16th century to19th century, European colonists transported a large number of black slaves from Africa (mainly Congo and Angola in West Africa) to America, and half of them went to the United States. He also worked hard in cotton, sugar cane plantations and mines in southern States. In order to communicate with each other and adapt to the environment, they learn English and mix the original language with English grammar, forming some special forms of language contact. In this process, black language has a close relationship with English, absorbing some elements of English and giving up some of its own characteristics. Thus, under the condition of basically maintaining its original quality, "Black English" gradually took shape. Black English is regarded as a symbol stored by blacks for communication, and they have their own system; The cultural pattern of society is also different from that of European whites, so there are differences in pronunciation, grammar and usage, which is the first cognition to understand black English. If we infer that the social opportunities of African-Americans are limited to some extent, it is because the dialects and symbols used by children who grew up in poor America are limited, or because they are unpopular in American mass society, African-Americans have to be detained in black areas, and natural black English will become more and more unique. Judging from the pronunciation, grammar and words of rap music, black English is a good way. The rapper strung together the unique characters and codes in the black area and expressed them in idioms. From their words, they can understand the social behavior in daily life. Black English combines the primitive spirit of black people with the universality of English. Through the rap of black rappers, some fonts used in white English grammar have changed. Some not only changed the pronunciation of fast words, but also simplified some conjunctions. Judging from the principle of the evolution of words in history-"from complex to simple", it is much more convenient to rap with words. Rap songs are not only simplified in words, but also changed in grammar, forming a unique style, which is very different from white English. In the next part, the author will first analyze the words and pronunciations of rap songs, and then briefly introduce them from the grammar part, so that readers can understand the unique writing style of African-Americans. Pronunciation part of 1: As mentioned above, rappers simplify spelling and writing because of hyphens. For example, the most common thing is to change the letter at the end of er into a single "A". For example, the blackest word nigger is simplified as nigga, and the other word motherfucka is also simplified as uthafucka. In addition, the word player has also been changed to playa. As long as the suffix is er, it can be changed to a according to this grammar. In addition, words ending in ks or cks will also be replaced by X, because ks(cks) and X have the same pronunciation. For example, thanks is changed to thanx, and checks is also changed to chex. This usage has also become a rule. The usage of o is also very distinctive, for example, Love is changed to Luv, nothing is changed to nuthin', and the word fucken is changed to muthafucka, which also conforms to this grammar. In addition, like the s in the word, it is often changed to z, for example, cause is changed to kuz, and easy is changed to EZ, all of which have changed. Moreover, having two grammars is not only used by blacks, but also a common law in the United States, that is, it is going to be changed to going and wanting to be changed to wanna. In addition, if out of is changed to out, kind is changed to kind, and sorta is changed to sorta, it will become a new English grammar. Words such as re or e, which are almost unheard of in fast singing, are omitted For example, more becomes mo (for example, film noir move money), for becomes fo, or the number "4" is used instead. Omitting "g" from "ing" has also become a common grammar in the United States. For example, nothing has been changed to nuthin', commin has been changed to commin', and so on. G can be omitted as long as it is an ing progressive. And some words, because of rap, have changed their pronunciation. For example, we all know that the word thru is pronounced as "θ", but in rap songs, its pronunciation is "T", so the word is simplified as thru, and the pronunciation of the word true is the same, and the pronunciation of nothing th is also the same grammar, from "θ" to ". The spelling is simplified to wit, but the pronunciation is still /WIθ/, with the exception. By the way, some rappers seize the advantage of speaking fast and write a long list of words together on the album. They feel that the name or song title of the album is particularly dazzling, but they all sound the same. For example, Outhern Playalistic Dialla Muzik, the first album of the rap group out kast, and remix D 'VoidoFPOPnigafiedMemix, the last album of Bootlegs B.B. Side of ICE Cabe, are all a lot of headaches, but you will know the pronunciation and meaning after watching them several times. In addition, for example, the number of songs Wussup and LUV is what is underground with the entity of love. Although the font has changed, the pronunciation is still the same. The above is just a brief introduction, but it is the word with the highest frequency among blacks. Here are some words that appear in rap songs and their usage. Some words can be called "vulgarity", "contempt" or "slang", but they are the most practical black words. First of all, of course, the word Fuck, which has the highest exposure, not only appears in rap songs, but also has become a daily language in the United States and is widely used. As everyone knows, the word "fuck" has the usage of "sexual intercourse". Of course, it is also a vulgar word, which is often used to curse each other's behavior or people. And the word "fucking" can also represent anything, any animal, and can also be used as an emphasis. As long as it can swear, it conforms to the grammar of "fuck" And Fuck has its own set, forming a bunch of phrases, which are introduced as follows: the most common phrase is I don't give a fuck, which means I don't care; Fuck about/around means don't trust someone or something; Fuck off means fuck off, get out; As for not screwing up someone, it means leaving me alone and not bothering me; And what the fuck do you mean, screwed up? Of course, as mentioned above, the word Fuck can replace any verb or noun, as long as the other person can understand it. "Fuck" has a usage rule of "on earth" or "hell" for emphasis, such as "What the fuck are you doing? Or how the fuck am I supposed to fly? Sometimes it can be used with the word shit, but it is better to use it less. In addition, another word comparable to the word Fuck is shit. This word means "dung" and "excrement", and sometimes it can even refer to drugs (heroin). Its usage, like Fuck, depends on the user's hobby, but it is mostly a noun usage, which is used to scold someone for disappointing. Like Fuck, the word "shit" often becomes a phrase, which is a bit like "fu" and "alas" in ancient Chinese, but the tone is heavier. For example, shit and bitch, which means bitch, also means "bitch", are used to scold some shameless people! How are you? Or swear, you son of a bitch! Very vulgar usage, or "eat my shit" and "remember me"! As long as the word appears in rap songs, there is nothing good. Of course, when the word shit is used, it sometimes points to good things, and its usage is like pronouns. Like what Da shit! This shit was once referred to as drugs and girls in rap songs. Yo! My big shit! The shit in this language refers to the baby, which means that the usage of shit is very free! And the most familiar usage of shit must be cow shit! Nonsense, it's all nonsense! Empty talk is bullshit! There is a joke that says, "Where is the worst shit?" The answer is "American mouth! It can be seen that the American preference for this word has become an international joke! Let's introduce some ballads with a particularly high frequency, which are described as follows: 1 Because some words expressed by numbers have the same pronunciation as Arabic numerals, they are directly replaced by numbers, such as to use 2, for use 4 and aight use 9, while the straight part of love is often expressed as "Str 8" with 8, forming a new English word of letters and numbers. Some figures must be known. For example, the movie 187, which was shown before, refers to "the penalty number of California murderers", a rapper named 187 Fac, or the famous song "My Lover is a 187" of the rap group, also using 187 as the representative number. Other code names related to numbers are mostly related to guns, which we will introduce in the next section. 2. The letter A stands for the best, and the letter B stands for the worst. For example, B represents the worst thing, and A plus (A+) is the best representative. C is often a dating word for see. G is a big name, which can refer to Gangstar or sexual behavior between men and women, because the woman makes a "G" sound during sexual intercourse, and it can also refer to a gun. N stands for and, r stands for ARE, and u stands for You. In addition, Ku Klux Klan or W.A.S.P, a powerful white group, is used to wipe out black Americans and ensure the superiority of white people. Protestants Anglo-Saxon Protestants, because WASP is the main stratum that dominates AMerican society today, just the opposite to the African-American underclass, have repeatedly mentioned the famous song C.R.E.A.M (cash, rules, everything, Around, me), and the title of the song begins with the hope that cash can roll in. The song begins with the statement that chef Lei Kang (a member of Wutang clan) came to the birthplace of Wutang without his mother's care, and was exposed to drugs at the age of 65,438+06, and used a gun in the street. Readers can learn from a short lyric of this song.
