Chapter 1581 Explosive Skill Showdown (Part 2)
The bet between KZ and Blaze thoroughly excited the audience.
Who wins or loses, and who gets the $50, is none of their business.
But seeing a Grammy Award winner kiss a donkey's rear end is definitely a first!
Philadelphia at this time.
"KZ is absolutely insane, $50!"
Rapper Andy covered his head, exclaiming incredulously, "It's no different than him throwing money away!"
Money drives people crazy; $50 is a number he wouldn't even dare to dream of, yet these rappers casually throw it out as a bet.
Rachel, standing nearby, protested, "Why is it impossible?"
"Ye Zhi Qiu has already won several number one singles!"
Andy shook his head: "You don't understand. It's much harder for a rap song to reach number one on the Billboard charts than for pop music."
But when Andy said those words, his tone was a little hesitant.
He originally thought it was completely impossible, but KZ is a legend in the rap world and his favorite singer.
After all, people have a herd mentality, especially in areas they are unfamiliar with.
What professionals say often easily influences the decisions of bystanders...
“I believe in Ye Zhi Qiu.” Rachel snorted, her eyes darting around, and suddenly said, “Hey, you help me place a bet that ‘RAP GOD’ will become the number one single.”
"Are you crazy too?" Andy was startled and instinctively asked, "How much are you going to bet?"
Rachel held up one finger and said seriously, "All the pocket money I have left, $100."
"If we lose, we'll consider it support for Ye Zhi Qiu. Hurry up and place my bet."
“...No problem.” Andy subconsciously took out his phone, but after opening the webpage, he was surprised to find something.
The odds for "RAP GOD" to become the number one single have somehow become 1:17.
The odds offered by these betting companies are adjusted in real time based on information from multiple sources. This situation could be due to what KZ said in the program earlier, which influenced the betting company's expectations regarding this matter.
Although the odds suggest this is still an "extremely low probability event," it does indicate a certain trend.
When placing his bet, Andy thought for a moment and, almost without thinking, added an extra $100.
"All done." After completing all of this, he said nonchalantly.
He hasn't changed his mind; he still supports Blaze.
But if it really works out, that's a whopping 17 times the profit! That's incredibly tempting.
Thinking about the $1700, Andy suddenly felt that having his idol kiss a donkey's rear end might not be such a bad thing after all...
The song has been released!
Just then, Andy heard his younger sister's voice from the side, and he quickly turned his gaze to the television screen.
On set, the atmosphere was already buzzing with excitement, and the host exclaimed, "OK! Everyone, it's time!"
"Now, let's hold our breath and listen to this song together—"
"RAP GOD!"
The room fell silent as all the guests sat up straight, their eyes glued to the large screen on the stage, where the lyrics would be displayed in real time, following the audio.
At this moment, the live broadcast camera turned to Blaze, who was standing with his arms crossed, leaning back in a large chair, a mocking smile on his lips, as if he could already see Ye Zhi Qiu's defeat.
Amidst the expectant and inquisitive gazes of everyone, the prelude to music began the next moment.
Amidst rhythmic music, a male voice rang out.
Look, I was going to go easy on you.
and not to hurt your feelings.
In the opening rap of the song, Ye Zhi Qiu's tone is low and slightly playful. His voice seems to have been processed in some way, sounding like a narration in a TV program or on the phone.
The lyrics don't name names, but the message is clear: this is indeed a response to the recent online controversy.
Several rappers, including KZ, listened attentively in the audience.
To be honest, the way they sang at the beginning of "RAP GOD" was a bit unexpected.
This is a song responding to diss tracks, but instead of bursting with anger from the start, it displays a calm and controlled demeanor.
This design of a "narration" at the beginning of a song is a classic but uncommon technique. Its value lies in creating a sense of immersion in the narrative and generating contrast.
However, its drawbacks are also obvious. It is a "slow-burn" approach, and in today's fast-paced streaming era, listeners are looking for "fast-paced" and "captivating" content. This approach is gradually disappearing.
After all, few people are willing to pay for a mere 10-second wait.
Unless, this is truly the "calm before the storm."
And Ye Zhi Qiu certainly did not disappoint everyone.
After the narration, a rapid and intense drumbeat suddenly sounded, and Ye Zhi Qiu's voice became genuine and powerful.
I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God.
Everyone swayed back and forth.
Now, who thinks their arms are long enough to play "slapping" with me?
"Woo~~!"
The unrestrained and aggressive lyrics and vocals contrasted sharply with the preceding performance, unleashing the emotions that had been building up.
Ye Zhi Qiu's unabashed and arrogant "RAP GOD" declaration immediately got the audience hyped.
On stage, the expressions of the several professional rappers varied, but their eyes were all filled with surprise.
Those in the know can see the details; everyone here is a professional, and many things are obvious from the very beginning of the film.
Ye Zhi Qiu's rap is not simply a response to diss tracks.
This song is amazing!
In the spacious chair, KZ squinted, his fingertips tapping rapidly on the table in rhythm, his body swaying slightly, with an expression of enjoyment.
Although he knew Ye Zhi Qiu was a very strong rapper, this song still gave him a big surprise.
Ye Zhi Qiu's voice is hoarse yet powerful. Unlike many black rappers, the emotions in his songs are not simply "anger," but rather a domineering and arrogant air.
This domineering aura stems from absolute confidence in one's strength.
The flow was incredibly smooth, the pace astonishing, yet every word was clear and unambiguous, each syllable precisely hitting the drumbeat, flowing seamlessly like water...
This is an ultimate rap performance showcasing incredible skills!
