"Fuck you!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Spike will never be greater than Eminem!"

"Fuck you!"

"Spike is the greatest singer of our time!"

The streets and campuses of cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, etc. were filled with many quarrels with serious opposing positions.

Especially among the younger middle school and high school students, several small and unknown group fights broke out between fans of Zhou Yi and Eminem——

As we all know, young people are always impulsive and can easily get along, especially on campuses in the United States, a fertile land of freedom.

Both sides are relying on the fabricated black materials on the Internet and the media to gnash their teeth in the battle, and both believe the other side's black materials as truth - especially those p-pictures that spread extremely quickly and have an extremely wide range.

Of course, if the initial p-picture wars, table wars and other situations were only caused by fans' spontaneous battles, then their external communication is indispensable without the two giants who have been watching the battlefield trends from behind——

Warner Music, Universal Music.

Edgar Jr., the current head of Warner Records, is particularly concerned.

As we all know, in addition to Eminem's mentor Dr. Dre, there is also a big shot in the record industry - Jimmy Iovine, the legendary American producer and co-founder of Interscope Records. .

And this New Vision Records is a subsidiary of Universal.

For Edgar Jr., this battle is all about old and new grudges - because this is not only a battle between Zhou Yi and Eminem, but also between him and Universal Records, who once kicked him out. War between high-level officials.

He was once kicked out of Universal Records, and now he wants to prove to the industry and the world that Universal made a mistake.

To this end, he showed his true nature as a prodigal: he stopped any recent projects in the company that might affect the distribution of Zhou Yi's publicity resources, and all his hands were devoted to supplying Zhou Yi alone.

That is to say, Warner Records currently has no popular top-level singers except for Linkin Park. Otherwise, the popularity of the company would have been shaken because of Little Edgar's operation.

As for whether Linkin Park has any objections...

At present, the team has some problems of its own, the internal conflicts have not been resolved, there is no time for promotion, and the original album plan has even been shelved. It doesn't matter at all.

And as much as the boss is looking forward to the results of Zhou Yi's "Listen/Future Sounds", there is also Rihanna within Warner.

She collaborated with Zhou Yi on the song "boom boom pow" in this album. To a certain extent, she thought Zhou Yi was interesting enough - even beyond the scope.

The king of the world personally promoted her because of her voice. This is the starting point that many people dream of.

If this song "boom boom pow" has a chance to become popular, then she will have a perfect start by riding on Zhou Yi's east wind.

However, what she didn't expect, as she had been following Zhou Yi, was that on the eve of the release of "Listen/Future Sounds", Zhou Yi's Chinese album "Gui Zang" released last year actually broke the language barrier in the United States, and attracted fans in English-speaking areas. There has been a certain degree of discussion internally——

It even caused a slight increase in the physical sales of "Gui Zang" in the United States.

The reason is still because of two men-Justinian Baker and Garn Montoya.

Justinian Baker, male, 20 years old, is an Eminem fan who tries every means to make his idol overwhelm Zhou Yi in terms of status.

In the battle with Zhou Yi's fans' comments, this young man who was already well aware of status, power and other words at a young age quickly discovered a loophole on the morning of November 14th - a loophole that might allow Zhou Yi to be emulated by Amy. Nahm's position was crushed to death by a loophole.

"Singers of an era, when their status is ultimately judged, they must fall into the meaning of the times - as the old saying goes, poets of an era must always care about this era."

Feeling that he had found a point of attack, Justinian Baker happily wrote this blog post titled "Childish Spike and Mature Eminem" on his personal blog, and what he used as a role model was Astonishingly, it is the first single previously released by his idol Eminem——

"Mosh" (Settlement).

"Aside from mocking the controversial nature of Michael Jackson's first single, 'Mosh' is without a doubt Eminem's entry into the ranks of great singers. In this song he rails against George W. Bush of the United States accused him of launching the Iraq war.

"This is a song about war that fully embodies Eminem's extremely sensitive concern for the times.

"Spike does? No, he doesn't.

"Spike's album only contains food, drink, fun, love, family and friendship, but lacks the concern for the times that is needed to become a great singer..."

Baker, who is only 20 years old and majored in sociology in college, directly listed the shortcomings of Zhou Yi's past two albums "The Attitude Show" and "Forever Young".

Yes, as an album, it is already excellent, but it is obviously not as good as my idol Eminem's concern for the times.

Because this is a breakthrough point, this blog post was quickly used as a weapon by extreme fan groups to attack Zhou Yi's fans, and they also made some sarcastic remarks such as "your idol has no vision".

This year, Garen Montoya, who is only 20 years old, is an active fan of Zhou Yi. He has posted articles with Baker on his blog several times. This time, he is naturally the first batch of fans to be ridiculed.

At first, he really couldn't find a rebuttal point, so he could only type to say that it didn't matter at all——

The correct version is being read! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.

Until the afternoon of the 14th, he met a Chinese fan who was also a fan of Zhou Yi in Chinese class while studying Chinese.

Although he didn't know why a Chinese person had to take Chinese lessons, when the other party immediately recommended "Returning to the Tibetan" after knowing this, and told him from a Chinese perspective that the concept of Zhou Yi's Chinese album had been written a long time ago, he realized it-

So it's not that Spike doesn't care about the times, but that he has already written it with his advanced vision? !

What else can I say?

It's awesome!

After decisively deleting his previous blog post defending Zhou Yi that the concern for the times is not important, Garen, who changed his face, turned around and directly scolded his old enemy Beck: "Open your dog eyes and look carefully! Spike expressed his concern for the times in his Chinese album last year!"

What?

You said you don't know Chinese and don't listen to Chinese songs, why doesn't Spike sing English songs?

That's not his problem, it's your problem!

"Spike is Chinese. If he wants to accurately express his concern for the times, then his mother tongue is naturally the most appropriate. What's the problem?

"Still praising Eminem, Eminem is half a year behind Spike!

"Maybe Eminem saw how Spike wrote this song on his native language album last year, and he copied it for inspiration, so he wrote this song. Otherwise, why didn't he write it last year? Why didn't he sing it? Why didn't he release it last year?

"Why did he have to wait until this year to release it?

"That's just Spike crossing the river by feeling his way?!"

"Besides, with Eminem's face, I would believe if you said he had matricide and wife-killing mania, so how can he care about the times? !

"Isn't this just a copy of Spike's album concept last year?!"

"???"

"Who the hell are you looking down on? !"

"Fuck you!"

"Son of a bitch! ”

“…………”

November 15th.

At the moment when both albums were released, the concept of “plagiarism”, which was originally only debated in a small circle of die-hard fans, was suddenly followed up by many media, which caught Universal Music, Eminem and others off guard.

Ah?

I plagiarized?

What did I plagiarize?

How did I plagiarize the album concept?

The song with the concept of your mother’s war was patented by Spike and others can’t sing it?!

Although I take drugs, fight and swear, I also care about the times. Is there a problem with this?!
