I think the familiarity of Eminem for the majority of rap enthusiasts is well aware of. When Eminem started raping in high school, he first used the name Manix, and later changed it to MM to represent the initial letter in his name Marshall Mathers; later in order to maintain the same pronunciation, MM then evolved into Eminem;
and Eminem also has a fun personality (also nickname), called Slim Shady. Under this personality, he would rap with violent, offensive lyrics, which was very different from his previous rap style.
In 1999, after "The Slim Shady LP" was a great success, Eminem founded his own record company "Shady Records".
Many rappers will create their own roles for themselves, and rap them from a new personality or perspective, such as Slim Shady of Eminem introduced in this article and several s introduced next. Replacing personality rap is to enrich the narrative angle and form opposites.
So besides Slim Shady, is there any "Second Personality (Alter Ego)" that is very different from the original singer's style?
is really there. Today, the editor has compiled some singers' "second personality" here:
1. J.Cole - kiLL edward
kiLL edward is another personality of J.Cole. It appears in the form of feat in "KOD". Senior music fans will know that this is Cole's feat on himself. Cole doesn't like others' feat on his own album, nor does he like to work on others. He likes to do it himself, and others can't grasp the ideas of Cole's entire album.
announced that it would not appear on other people's albums again after featuring Gang Starr's "Family and Loyalty" on the 21st of last month. (But I remember he said so last year and became a feat model)
A few days before the release of "KOD", kiLL edward released a song on SoundCloud, with a distorted sound and a low tone, but many listeners said it sounded very much like J.Cole.
But why does Cole do this? kiLL edward Who is it? Does it mean anything to Cole?
Edward is the name of Cole's stepfather, who abused Cole's mother, which caused J.Cole and his brothers to lose a "home" that should have been harmonious. At the audition meeting of "KOD", J.Cole talked about mental health for half an hour, and many songs also mentioned "Mental Health", so the name of this feat is not a blind choice.
kiLL edward appeared twice in his album. One is "The Cut Off ", from the lyrics "give me drink , smoke,dope", he said that he can’t cope (can’t cope), because he feels tired of dealing with interpersonal relationships... The next thing to say is that Cole’s friends will help as much as possible if they have difficulties, but after helping, they either don’t contact each other for two months or just contact them or borrow money; Cole directly “Cut Off”.
The second is that in the song "FRIENDS ", this song continues to talk about chicken soup content. Because people have different understanding abilities, people express their feelings in the comment section in this deep-seated work. However, if the comments you write do not express the meaning, the comment section will use the words to harm the meaning and express the effect completely opposite to "KOD".
kiLL edward The exact explanation given on the outside network is the embodiment of J.Cole's heart chaos. At the end of the album "Window Pain (Outro)", Cole sang:
"All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry."
"I just want to * the man who made my mother cry."
2. Kendrick Lamar - Kung Fu Kenny
"Kung Fu Kenny" is the new king of the West Coast Kendrick Another personality of Lamar.
"Kung Fu" is a nickname for "martial arts" in the late Qing Dynasty in China. It is mainly reflected in the application and attainment of individuals in martial arts. It is guided by "stop invasion" as the technical orientation and enters the traditional education method and personal cultivation of understanding the objective laws of man and nature and society.
Kendrick is a man who loves Chinese culture. His first use of "Kung Fu Kenny" was produced in "Perfect Pint" in March 2017. He wrote in the lyrics: "Kung Fu Kenny, look look, Who the f**k you talkin' to? You massive."
months ago he released "DAMN.", in this album K.Dot brought his alter-self Kung Fu Kenny's performance to life, and he even went to Coachella in 2017. A short film called The Damn Legend of Kung Fu Kenny was screened at the opening ceremony of the festival.
In an interview with Pitchfork in April 2017 with Don Cheadle (played by the Gears of War), Don revealed that "Kung Fu Kenny" was inspired by the character Kenny in " Pinpoint 2"; later he starred in the MV of "DNA. ".
3. Tyler, The Creator - Igor
Previously, I uploaded an analysis of the "ASTROWORLD" MV in "ASTROWORLD".
The difference between the sentence "A Girl Is a Gun" is that Tyler reverses the gender in this sentence and breaks the common concept in this sentence.
Similarly, Tyler also explains his Possible Bisexuality state in the song as a "farse-like crazy state". Tyler uses lyrics to describe his lover as a gun, just as the song’s name “A BOY IS A GUN” says, Tyler likes Igor with his lover to possessing a gun.
As the chorus enters, Igor holds a long barrel gun and aims at the sky, I guess the action is related to Tyler's previous trailer video about the song.
In the trailer video, Igor slowly climbed into the sky along a ladder, but when he was about to break through the clouds, he fell down. Is this gun aiming at Igor himself? This is just a guess from me. Igor seems to be telling people something, but when he is about to open his mouth, he thinks: "Go to the world of **."
The Igor here is Tyler himself. The appearance of Igor's boyfriend in the video is undoubtedly Tyler indicating that he is the same,
But our Igor nickname seems to be more than this one, and we will introduce it later.
4. Post Malone - Leon Dechino
When the song "Psycho " by Malone and Ty Dolla Sign was in the limelight, careful fans found that there was a line in the lyrics "Hunnid bands inside my shorts, DeChino the ****, ayy" with a person named Leon Dechino.
In an interview with "Breakfast Club", Malone mentioned that "Leon Dechino" was a character he created in high school; at the age of 17, he made a spoof video for Dechino and a song titled "Why Don't You Love Me (Why Don't You Love Me). The video reappeared online in 2016, with the silly act of Malone dancing with his friend in tight shorts.
"Hunnid bands inside my shorts, DeChino the ****, ayy"
"My shorts contain a lot of money, DeChino is the most awesome."
5. Frank Ocean - Lonny Ocean
Fahai's original name was Christopher Edwin Breaux, but later changed to Christopher Francis Ocean, and Christopher Francis "Lonny" Breaux - is his alter ego. Fahai released his mixtape "The Lonny Breaux under the name "Lonny Ocean" Collection.
But this is still a bit far-fetched. It should be said that "Lonny Ocean" is Fahai Small Mark.
In fact, the second personality is also a type of Nickname (nickname, nickname). I have also compiled a collection of nicknames before. Interested friends can click here: You must know the nicknames of these rappers! (I)
Of course, there are many singers with second personality, such as Jaden Smith, etc. I will continue to popularize the science for you in the next article, Peace!
