提到它,涉及音乐术语名词的时候一般会有三个:西海岸说唱,匪帮说唱,再加上政治性说唱。
姚大钧老师曾经有言:Hiphop其实就是一种生活方式。所以,这一乐种最让人着迷的特色便是它的生猛、原始的生命力的呈现。与之相关的是,说唱歌手的歌词往往成为了反映现实的方便而又直接的途径。
来看 USATODAY的评论:
Ice Cube says there was a time when hard-core rap more closely reflected life in the inner city. But as years passed, it became more commercial and less in touch with reality. He wants to bring back that old feel with his eighth solo album, Raw Footage.
"This is uncut hip-hop for the brain, not the booty," says Ice Cube (aka O'Shea Jackson), 39. Around 1993 or 1994, "that kind of music got put on the back burner and it became about what I call escapism rap. That's where all you talk about is money, jewelry, clubs and women and don't talk about the problems around you."
就这张专辑而言,Ice Cube视音乐为“反映现实生活”重要的工具。这也成为了这张专辑被媒体大说特说的特点,专辑中的曲目涉及到了各种社会问题。
he's still hungry。
这是《滚石》上的碟评作者的最后一句。
总体看来,大家都把“冰块”大叔形容为一位人到中年,却仍然不屈不挠地进取奋斗的典型事业男人。对这张唱片的评价大体都打了中上的水平。
去维基的Ice Cube条目瞄了一眼,吓傻了懒惰的本人。他居然还演了那么多的电影!
音乐尚可一听,不算太差,但当然也比不上当年的经典分为两张发行的《战争与和平》,更不用提他年代久远在N.W.A团体的作品来得力道十足。
