关于我的第三张正规专辑,我曾有过很多的设想。最初,我想要做一张Funk风格的舞曲专辑,我坚持着这个想法写了四五首歌,我承认它们都是很不错的歌曲,但随着时间的推进,我慢慢意识到这样的音乐过于流于形式,甚至我自己都不知所云,因此我废弃了这个概念。之后在发布了《HALFTIME》ep后,我突然有种茅塞顿开

关于我的第三张正规专辑,我曾有过很多的设想。最初,我想要做一张Funk风格的舞曲专辑,我坚持着这个想法写了四五首歌,我承认它们都是很不错的歌曲,但随着时间的推进,我慢慢意识到这样的音乐过于流于形式,甚至我自己都不知所云,因此我废弃了这个概念。之后在发布了《HALFTIME》ep后,我突然有种茅塞顿开的感觉,我追寻着这种感觉听了很多伟大的创作者所创作的伟大的音乐,这使得我对Hip-Hop有了一个新的认识——”我一定要在我的作品说点什么。“

磕磕绊绊中,第三张专辑的概念诞生了。我给它起名Kinstagram,没错,我借鉴了INS的名字。在这张专辑的故事中,Kinstagram就像INS一样是一款社交app,但与之不同的是,这里的用户在社群里分享的都是他们平时生活中的不幸和苦难,他们可以再次随意地吐槽而不用担心任何连带责任。现实生活中,我们有很多可以分享美好的途径,但总缺少一个可以用于发泄的空间,这便是我构建这个概念的原因。

所有故事的起源都需要一个契机,Kinstagram也一样。某天我像往常一样在网上冲浪,看到一则视频,主题是“Lil Bbay vs 国内某当红rapper(具体是谁就不说了)你更看好谁?”这种意图明显的营销号我其实早已见怪不怪,当我熟悉地点开评论区,果然出现了一条及其刺眼的评论“一个是给男的听的,一个是给女的听的。”当时我脑子一热,立刻就对他做出了回复“听说唱教会你的就是搞男女对立吗?”也正式这次的脑子一热,成为了我这张专辑诞生的导火索。

“What Does Hip-Hop Told You”是Kinstagram中的第三首歌曲(排在intro和同名主打曲之后),同时也是整张专辑思考的起点。说唱在中国已经火了五六年了,但这些所谓的说唱听众和说唱歌手真的理解过这个文化吗?不论是网络还是现实中,我能看到的只有依靠说唱让自己萌生一种莫名其妙的优越感,甚至那些在说唱节目出现之前就在听欧美Hip-Hop的“老牌听众”里,有多少真正完整的看过一首歌的内容?我们记住了名车名表的牌子,记住了靓女和纸醉金迷的帮派生活,唯独没有记住压在潘多拉魔盒最底层的真实。依次为起点,我尝试用这张专辑来探索这现状出现的原因。每一首歌都代表一个令人叹息又无奈的现实,每一首歌都是对上一首的解答。自私的爱将我们牢牢捆住,把我们变成傀儡,滋长我们对异己的恨意,最终让我们中的一部分变得自大、优越、目中无人;而另一部分,越来越怯懦,开始对周围的强者产生依赖,幻想自己永远会被保护,幻想自己不再孤独... ...

写到这里,我发现Kinstagram好像并不是一个记载他人痛苦的地方,反而更像是我的自述,所有的一切都是臆想出来的,怎么可能会有这样一个平台,明明就是你自己想要有一个倒垃圾的地方罢了。从节目前就听Hip-Hop,你有着比谁都严重的优越感;口口声声说自己对一切都尊重认同,背地里不知道说了多少别人的坏话;鄙视了十几年的应试教育,最终你仍不可避免地成为了和他们一样的傀儡;说着别人的爱自私,可你又何尝不是个占有欲爆棚的人;戴着耳机走在路上很酷吗,你根本就是不敢跟任何人有过多的接触;明明是个没有信仰的人,却天天祈祷会有救世主来帮我摆平一切;敢说你不孤独吗?真的被人理解过吗?你写的作品有人会认证听吗?自己心里都清楚吧... ...

如果你能从头到尾听完这张专辑,我倍感荣幸,因为这是我于我所处的这个社会的一次深刻交谈,更是我和我自己的一此灵魂碰撞。我不想改变谁,也不配帮助谁,更不能审判谁,我创作Kinstagram的目的就是为了重新认识一下我自己。如果我算是有一点自知之明的话,那就不是一事无成吧~

I have had many ideas about my third regular album. At first, I wanted to create a Funk style dance album. I persisted with this idea and wrote four or five songs. I admitted that they were all very good songs, but as time went on, I gradually realized that such music was too formal, and even I didn't know what to say, so I abandoned this concept. After releasing the "HALFTIME" EP, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. I followed this feeling and listened to the great music created by many great creators, which gave me a new understanding of Hip Hop - "I must say something in my work. “

Amidst the ups and downs, the concept of the third album was born. I named it Kingstagram, yes, I borrowed the name from INS. In the story of this album, Kinstagram is a social app just like INS, but the difference is that users here share their misfortunes and sufferings in their daily life in the community. They can again freely roast without worrying about any joint liability. In real life, there are many ways for us to share beauty, but there is always a lack of space for venting, which is why I constructed this concept.

The origin of all stories requires an opportunity, and so does Kinstagram. One day, as usual, I was surfing the internet and saw a video with the theme of "Lil Bbay vs a popular domestic rapper (let's not say who you're more optimistic about)." I had already seen this marketing account with obvious intentions. When I became familiar with the location and opened the comment section, there was an extremely dazzling comment: "One is for men, and the other is for women." At that time, my mind was filled with excitement, I immediately replied to him, 'Did I hear that singing teaches you how to engage in male female opposition?' This time, my mind became hot and became the trigger for the birth of my album.

What Does Hip Hop Top You "is the third song in Kinstagram (after intro and the title track of the same name), and it is also the starting point for the entire album's thinking. Rap has been popular in China for five or six years, but have these so-called rap listeners and singers really understood this culture? Whether online or in reality, what I can see is that I can only rely on rapping to generate an inexplicable sense of Superiority complex. Even among the "old listeners" who listened to Hip Hop in Europe and the United States before the appearance of rapping programs, how many of them actually read the content of a song completely? We remember the brands of famous cars and watches, the gang life of beautiful women and money lovers, but we don't remember the reality that lies at the bottom of Pandora's box. Starting from this album, I attempt to explore the reasons behind this current situation. Each song represents a breathtaking and helpless reality, and each song is an answer to the previous one. Selfish love firmly binds us, turns us into puppets, breeds hatred towards others, and ultimately makes some of us arrogant, superior, and arrogant; And the other part, increasingly timid, begins to rely on the strong around them, imagining that they will always be protected, imagining that they are no longer lonely

At this point, I find that Kinstagram is not a place to record the pain of others, but rather more like my own self narration. Everything is imagined, how could there be such a platform where you just want to have a place to dump garbage. From listening to Hip Hop before the program, you have a serious Superiority complex than anyone else; I always say that I respect and identify with everything, and I don't know how many bad words I have spoken about others behind my back; After disdaining exam oriented education for over a decade, you inevitably become a puppet like them in the end; Speaking of others' selfish love, but you are not a possessive person; Is it cool to walk on the road with headphones on? You just don't dare to have too much contact with anyone; Although I am a person without faith, I pray every day that there will be a savior to help me settle everything; Dare to say you're not alone? Have you really been understood? Can anyone verify your writing? I know it in my heart

If you could listen to this album from beginning to end, I would be honored because it was a profound conversation between me and the society I live in, and a collision of my own souls. I don't want to change anyone, I don't deserve to help anyone, and I can't judge anyone. The purpose of creating Kinstagram is to rediscover myself. If I have a bit of self-awareness, then I haven't achieved nothing, have I~
