he?doesn't?need?his?name?up?in?lights
He?just?wants?to?be?heard?whether
it's?the?beat?or?the?mic
He?feels?so?unlike?everybody?else,?alone
In?spite?of?the?fact?that?some?people
still?think?that?they?know?him
But?fxxk?'em
he?knows?the?code
It's?not?about?the?salary
it's?all?about?reality?and?makin'?some?noise
Makin'?the?story?makin'?sure?his?clique?stays?up
That?means?when?he?puts?it?down
摩图拉办公室内,宋亚跟着节拍强烈的伴奏,将一大段RAP唱了下来,然后一指艾尔,“Ale's?pickin'?it?up,?let's?go!”
艾尔随即接上,Who?the?hell?is?he?anyway
He?never?really?talks?much
Never?concerned?with?status
but?still?leavin'?them?star?struck
Humbled?through?opportunities
given?despite?the?fact
That?many?misjudge?him?because
he?makes?a?livin'?from?writin'?raps
Put?it?together?himself,
now?the?picture?connects
Never?askin'?for?someone's?help,
to?get?some?respect
He's?only?focused?on?what?he?wrote,
his?will?is?beyond?reach
And?now?when?it?all?unfolds,
the?skill?of?an?artist
然后是迪莱,This?is?twenty?percent?skill,eighty?percent?beer……
一曲唱罢,办公室里的听众都嗨起来了,“哇哦!”玛丽亚凯莉站起来鼓着掌说道:“音乐旋律很富力量和激情,词也很好,APLUS,你又完成了一首好歌,This?is?ten?percent?luck,?twenty?percent?skill,Fifteen?percent?concentrated?power?of?will,Five?percent?pleasure,?fifty?percent?pain,And?a?hundred?percent?reason……”
她即兴比划着嘻哈手势跟唱了几句,果然天赋惊人,听过一遍就学得有模有样。
摩图拉笑吟吟地看着她,“不如你干脆转型当饶舌歌手算了,玛丽。”
“讨厌。”玛利亚凯莉娇嗔着打了下他的胳膊。
摩图拉很受用地大笑。
“伴奏很精彩,就是短了点……”华特还是那样有啥说啥:“后面基本在不停重复。”
“饶舌音乐就是这样,节奏感和韵脚最为重要。”宋亚回答,为了让改动后的歌词合韵,他烧死了不少脑细胞。
“确实。”大卫科尔给他和艾尔、迪莱递上香槟,“这首remember?the?name比你的首单I?Feel?It?Coming强多了。”
“会大卖吗?”宋亚问。
“绝对的。”摩图拉举起酒杯,“你在首单宣传上面就很令我刮目相看了,我没料到这么不配合传统发行方式的做法会卖出白金唱片,这首歌会更成功的APLUS。华特,继续为他的正式版本制作提供帮助,后续宣传也一样……”
“当然。”华特和宣传负责人答应道。
众人饮尽杯中酒离开,罗伯托克莱维尔扶着宋亚的肩膀带他去录音室,很热络的问道:“沃伦兄弟公司那事你打算怎么办?”
“我已经委托芝加哥一家有名的律所和AW投资公司交涉了,等格莱美颁奖典礼之后,我会亲自去新泽西。”宋亚回答。
“好的,到时候叫上我。”
“没问题。”
“对了还有……”罗伯托克莱维尔在录音室门口停住脚步,“我们今年也打算签一些饶舌歌手,你有什么看好的人可以推荐推荐。”
