My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Chapter 1579 Pre-Chapter Verbal Battle

Tuesday, October 3th.

Philadelphia, in a predominantly white neighborhood.

25-year-old Andy didn't go to the gym in the morning; he sat in front of the sofa and turned on the TV.

Like him, more than ten million viewers across the United States were doing the same thing at that time.

Today is the release date of Ye Zhi Qiu's new song "RAP GOD". Before that, his feud with black rapper Blaze had been widely discussed online, and this song can be regarded as a "response".

A TV station invited Blaze and a group of rap legends to do a live show called "Who's RAP GOD," which generated a lot of buzz.

As a rap fan, Andy naturally wouldn't miss this "rap extravaganza".

But to his surprise, his 22-year-old sister Rachel, who was in college, also came out of the room and sat down next to him.

“Hey, this is a rap show,” Andy said, pointing to the TV, puzzled.

"Didn't you say that this kind of music is just pure noise and that you never listen to rap?"

Rachel sat cross-legged, opened a bag of potato chips, and popped a chip into her mouth.

"Yes, but Ye Zhi Qiu is an exception; he's different."

Andy pursed his lips and retorted, "Come on, this is rap music, not some kind of 100 sexiest men in the world poll."

"In the realm of rap, Ye is no match for Blaze, and he's not even Black."

Clearly, the siblings belong to opposing factions when it comes to supporting Ye Zhi Qiu and Blaze.

The older brother, Andy, is a fan of "orthodox rap," while the younger sister is a die-hard fan of Ye Zhi Qiu.

Rachel objected, retorting, "Does being Black mean you're good at rap? Who set that standard?"

Andy said, “That’s not what I meant, but you know, it’s obvious.”

"Can you name a non-Black rapper among the top 10 greatest rappers of all time?"

Rachel scoffed. "If that's the case, why did the Grammys award 'Best Rap Song' to 'Just the Way You Lie' instead of some other Black song? Isn't that the most prestigious music award?"

"You...I..." Andy stammered, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Rachel scoffed, "Because it's true."

Hey! That will never be true, you'll never understand rap music!

Do you know what flow, rhyming, and rhyming are?

"I don't know, but the Grammy judges should know."

"...shit!"

Andy broke down and shouted, "We can make a bet on who will win this duel between Ye Zhi Qiu and Blaise?"

Rachel wasn't about to be outdone: "Okay, what's the bet?"

Andy thought for a moment, then pointed to the yard outside the window: "A month of lawn cleaning!"

They live in a middle-class community where the lawn must be mowed weekly, taking an hour each time, with family members taking turns—it's physically demanding work.

Rachel retorted without backing down: "Sure!"

"You'll regret this, my sister."

"I should be the one saying that, my foolish brother."

"Hey! That's a personal attack."

"Sorry, but you attacked my idol first."

"Just you wait... the show is starting!"

"Wow, this guest lineup is amazing!"

After more than 10 minutes of continuous commercials, the TV screen finally switched to the main program.

In the footage, the studio is set up like an interview program, with large, luxurious chairs lined up in a row. The host sits at the very edge, and there are five rapper guests, all of whom are Black.

Besides Blaze, the other four are all established rappers.

"Hey everyone! This is a live broadcast from Seattle TV's nationally televised special, 'Who's Rap God.' I'm sure you've all been waiting for this moment..."

"Today, we have invited Kilo~~~~Blaze!"

Amid the host's enthusiastic introduction, Blaze, with his legs crossed and a conspicuous gold chain as thick as a thumb around his neck, swayed as he stood up and made a gesture.

"Xi~~~~An!"

"Vix!"

"McClay!"

"Brooks!"

"And also, our great T~~~~Z!"

The last person introduced, TZ, was the guest with the highest status and the most enthusiastic response from the audience.

After the warm-up introductions, the host got straight to the point, explaining the ins and outs of the incident. The large screen also played representative rap songs by the parties involved, Ye Zhi Qiu and Blaze.

However, compared to Blaze's four or five songs with different visuals, Ye Zhi Qiu, who currently only has one English rap song, only has "Just the Way You Lie" on screen from beginning to end, which seems a bit monotonous.

"OK, that's the situation."

"This is a war about rap music. Who is the better rapper? Ye Zhi Qiu, or Blaze?"

The host knew exactly what the audience wanted to see, and looked at the guests: "Next, please share your thoughts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brooks, who was sitting next to Blaze and had dreadlocks and was also wearing a big gold chain, immediately picked up the microphone.

"I would say this is an utterly ridiculous contest."

“Listen, I don’t deny that Ye Zhi Qiu is a good singer, but not rap. He hasn’t experienced our community culture, and he doesn’t understand what rap music is at all!”

"All he has to do is hold onto his damn guitar and sing..."

Brooks launched into a tirade in front of the camera, his words dripping with disdain for Ye Zhi Qiu's rap.

Brooks's inflammatory remarks also caused an uproar among the hundreds of audience members present.

You're talking about dog shit!

"How many Zodiac Lemming Awards have you won?!"

"Listen to the music!"

"Well said, he doesn't understand rap at all!"

Hey! Watch your mouth!

"What's your problem? Want to fight?!"

Clearly, many audience members did not support Brooks's views and argued with his supporters, plunging the scene into chaos.

The atmosphere was already incredibly lively right from the start of the show.

Following Brooks, several other singers also expressed their opinions.

"I think Blaze is a better rapper, there's no doubt about it..."

"Brother, I don't know. Ye is a legend. I really admire the song 'Just the Way You Lie,' so let's wait and see..."

Judging from their statements, Brooks and McCrae belong to the "Breze supporters" faction. In fact, the two are also close friends of Breze in the industry.

Zion and Vickers, on the other hand, belong to the "neutral faction." They expressed their appreciation for Ye Zhi Qiu but did not explicitly take sides, maintaining an attitude of "letting their work speak for itself."

Currently, it seems there are two supporters and two neutral parties, so the microphone has fallen to TZ, the singer with the highest reputation and status in the industry...
