Chicago 1990

The hype is about to hit the iron. On March 6th, LondonBridge made the B list at a low position for the first week. Amy drove a small new Rover Mini convertible that day and appeared near the University of Chicago campus.

She still has no trimmings, no makeup, and wears a baggy men's jacket. She wears a ponytail very casually. She wears sunglasses at night, parks her car on the street, and goes to the Siren Café to buy two cups of the largest portion. When I came out of the coffee, I looked down in the direction of the camera and seemed to find the presence of the paparazzi who had been photographed.

So she put down the soft top of the convertible and drove to another quiet place to stop.

Of course, these actions can't stop the paparazzi. Soon, Song Ya, carrying a Jansport school bag, appeared. He played his acting skills, bent over in front of the driver's window and made fun of Amy, and then went around to the co-pilot with a smile on his face. Open the door and get on the car.

This scene immediately appeared in the relationship newspaper and was reprinted by Quanmi. In an interview with Fergie, who ran in New York, she insisted that'APLUS's driver took a leave of absence, and Amy went to school to pick him up. There is nothing to fuss about.'

This statement was judged by the gossip program as'stubborn'.

"APLUS, now not only reporters who are close to us, but many other media reporters have come to Chicago to stare at you. Be careful about everything, especially not to expose the Latin girl in Highland Park."

Yeremov, who was accompanying in New York, specifically called back to ask.

"You can rest assured."

Song Ya fully agreed, "Has the media's evaluation come out?"

"Rolling Stone magazine praised your innovation, but said Fergie handled the song too "noisy". The whole music evaluation is very positive. Many magazines are questioning the vulgar metaphor in the lyrics, and the British media are even more verbal. , But the people of Oceania like it very much."

Yeremov reported one by one, “For hip-hop magazines, I chose TheSource for PR. Unfortunately, their attitude is not good. They are mainly entangled with the white female rappers. They used a lot of support for the left-eyed Lisa and Lati. Law is waiting for a black female rapper’s manuscript. Latifah’s song has been banned because the lyrics are indecent. TheSource took this opportunity to scream for her. VIBE magazine, you know, they said,'APLUS goes to college and hires a lot of white people. He is a white female hip-hop singer, he is a betrayer...'like, anyway, there is no good thing, mainly cursing you."

"Damn Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons."

Song Ya couldn't remember the first time he scolded these two guys, "Maybe I should buy another hip-hop magazine?"

"Hip-hop magazines are now losing money, and apart from TheSource, they have no influence."

Yeremov said: "TheSource is difficult to get, they are in a good momentum now."

"Forget it, I'll just talk about it." Even if TheSource is willing to sell Song Ya but does not want to buy it, this magazine is too fond of messing up, and it is not much better than the VIBE founded by two old undead.

"One more thing, I'm in New York, and I heard that death row records and bad boy records have gone together. Does it hinder us?" Yeremov asked.

"Sugnet and Papa Bragging?" Song Ya was stunned. "What do the two of them want to do? East and West Coast Gala?"

"No, it's 2PAC and Biggie. I saw them appear together on the New York TV program last night, sitting at the wine table, drinking and giving interviews. By the way, Freestyle, not the Battle type, the scene is very harmonious. , 2PAC also said that Biggie

It's his Homie (black slang, probably equal to a fellow and an old iron)."Yelemov said.

"I'll go back and ask Derui, anyway, I don't mix that circle anymore, and they won't be able to hinder me if they join together."

There must be the shadows of Sugonite and the bragging father behind this, maybe it is to make their own version of the Chicago meeting, Song Ya muttered in her heart.

"Yes, it seems that there is only a little mobility. By the way, his official stage name is (Mr. Infamous)."

"Follow him, show me the video of the show when you return to Chicago."

Song Ya confessed a few words before dialing Derry's phone.

"Dre, Sugnett has gotten involved with the bragging father again? He still wants to make another one by himself, right?" It's more straightforward to say something to people like Dre.

"Fxxk, I can't control him, he is the boss."

Derry still looked full of resentment, "It's useless for you to ask these things clearly. Can you stop them? Go to your university, kid."

"Hey, relax Derry, isn't your album selling big? Why do you always look unhappy?" Song Ya actually knows the reason. Sugonite is better than Big E and limited, Derry's album income is still Will be exploited a lot, so he deliberately provoked this.

"Hehe, Lao Tzu made his debut in fucking 1984 and became popular on the West Coast in 1988..."

De Rui started nagging again like Xianglin's wife...

After venting, he said a few truthful words, "APLUS, you are a smart boy, but my people and I can't help you with this matter. Pay attention to yourself. Neither Sugnet nor the bragging father are easy to deal with. Yes, I think you know this better than us."

"Okay, I see, thank you Derry." Song Ya also sincerely thanked you.

"Also, Snoop Dogg's album may be released at the end of this year, when we will be business as usual?" he asked.

"Business as usual." Song Ya agreed.

In addition to the bad news, NAS also called, "Brother APLUS, after the lyrics of Fergie's song were deliberately provoked, it seemed to arouse the dissatisfaction of some people in our Queens area."

"How is it possible?" Song Yaxin said that he couldn't fight.

"It's like this..." NAS explained.

It turned out that after hip-hop music originated in the Bronx, New York, it quickly spread to nearby Queens. In the early 1980s, hip-hop artists in Queens published a song called “The Bridge” to praise their hometown of Queen Bridge, but the Bronx The hip-hop artists in the district thought this was an attempt to steal the origin of hip-hop music, so they released a song called “The Bridgeisover” to DISS.Then the two sides began a long and fierce confrontation of the "Queens Bridge Battle", during which many early famous songs were born, this is the first Beef in the history of rap.

This Beef ended with the murder of a Rapper, and it has since established the basic mode of rappers from being upset with each other and talking DISS, to singing remote Beef, and finally using violence to solve problems.

"The Queen's Bridge is about to end, and the London Bridge is about to collapse. These two songs are easy to be connected with the rhythm of the caring person. Wait, I will let Newman talk to you." He handed the call to the manager Newman.

"APLUS, everyone recognizes your status, and NAS can also help you speak up in Queens."

Newman is also responsible for the announcement of Fergie's album on Sony Columbia Records. "You have to come out to clarify, otherwise it will be troublesome for those gang members in Queens to be provoked. Who knows what they will do."

"Okay, I will contact the reporter right away, do you know who the'wishful person' is?" Song Ya asked.

"Who knows, it's nothing more than your enemies. This kind of thing can be done by sending a few small characters. The rumors are spreading and we can't find the source." Newman said.

"Ok, thanks."

Fortunately, the relationship with NAS will not catch the blindness of the underground situation in New York. This is not a trivial matter. Song Ya quickly asked Taraji to find the relationship media, which happened to be interviewed through the "Girlfriend Incident".

"Amy? My driver asked for leave. She drove me to pick me up. Your imagination is too rich."

Early in the morning, Song Ya walked to the campus carrying a schoolbag, and chatted with a few reporters along the way.

"What do you think of Queens Rapper's accusation that Miss Fergie's song is using London Bridge to imply Queen Bridge's remarks?"

After a few questions, the reporter who communicated well earlier asked.

"Queens Bridge?" He was at a loss, and he said after the reporter added an explanation: "If you mean the Battle of Queens Bridge, it has nothing to do with my song. I went to London to run WhereIsTheLove with Fergie. It was time to stop by and visit Tower Bridge, and I was inspired to write the song London Bridge."

"And how old was I in the early 1980s? I am not sensitive to that kind of past. My good brother NAS is a person from Queens, a hip-hop artist in New York. I love it whether he is from Queens or the Bronx or Brooklyn. ." Then he pleased a few more words.

"What about Harlem?" a reporter asked.

"The same, I like it all, so to speak, I don't hate any singer, whether he sings hip-hop or rock, or whatever." He replied.

"Then Director Jennifer Lynch who quarreled with you in the media?" The reporter chased and refused to let go.

"OK OK."

He stopped, pointing to the schoolbag on his back and smiled: "I just want to learn knowledge quietly, let me go, OK?"
