NBA球员一般都热爱嘻哈文化。有些人被写进了说唱歌曲之中(比如勒布朗和韦德在Jay-Z的《Empire State of Mind》),有些人干脆自己跨界当说唱歌手出专辑。
但十三妹必须要说,音乐天赋这个东西,不是谁都有的。像利拉德就被誉为“被篮球耽误的说唱人”;但像科比这样的,说唱反而成了黑历史,台上喊麦简直吓skr人。
最近,杜兰特和勒布朗在七年前合录的一首单曲突然问世,虽然过时了那么久,但我们吃瓜群众的围观热情丝毫没有消退。
想不想知道他们唱了啥?十三妹不妨给介绍介绍。
这首歌名字叫《都不容易(It Ain’t Easy)》,顾名思义,就是俩人一起掰扯自己的奋斗史,将自己这一路走来多不容易。
歌曲开场说唱段落由杜兰特完成,他唱得相当有气势,歌词大意为了成功为了实现目标,他不眠不休,流血流汗,付出努力牺牲使劲爬到最顶端。没读过什么书,赚了大钱但他知道“钱是万恶之源”。
其中一句歌词写得特别好,“我没有变,但钱让一切不对劲的人都变了。每个黑子都一样,全世界都是斯基普-贝勒斯而我是勒布朗。”
把全球第一詹黑贝勒斯(此人每天都在网上无中生有黑詹皇,黑的角度之刁钻搞笑令人发指,欢迎大家前往@ RealSkipBayless观摩)都写进去真是让人笑喷。
同时,阿杜也说:“我现在全身都是纹身,每个人都说我变了。但其实,我还是从前的我。”
【杜兰特歌词】
I cut me, I bleed out, dedication
Hard work, sacrifice, meditation
I meditate up on the goal that I’m tryna reach
Grinding all the way to the top, and I ain’t tryna sleep
Come and get me, come and get me, I’m an animal
Cutting through your brain like I’m - - - -
Now I’m grown up, I got a couple dollars on me
Spent a semester in school, I ain’t no scholar, homie
Who with me? Who with me? [Bleep] dudes with me
Shoot with me, place you on you [bleep] like Jamaal Tinsley
I’m a - - - -, twice before he get around
Relaxin’ in the seats to this Benz is how I get around
I got the money, but that’s the root of all evil
I stayed the same, but it’s changing all the wrong people
Yeah, and every hater all the same
I’m feelin’ like the world is Skip Bayless and I’m LeBron James
Look, now I got a body full of tattoos
Everybody say that I’m changin’, that is not true
Same dude that you met a couple years ago
Talk to the heart and you can see past the visual
Look, stickin’ to the game and I ain’t out of bounds
Maryland on my back, and I can carry it when I’m out of town
I said Maryland on my back and I can carry it when I’m out of town
勒布朗的歌词在第二部分,他唱自己有一颗“钢铁的心”,还提到自己的苦难童年,说自己想念外婆,还特地感谢他那渣男爹的抛弃,因为这才成就了一个坚强的自己。
比起杜兰特歌词里对抗世界的态度,勒布朗倒没喊话黑子,只是站在了保护家人的立场,还在歌词里唱“随便你们怎么黑我,但别提我的家人”。他当然也提到了母亲格洛丽亚,称:“妈妈,我知道自己注定是明星,我没有别的选择,必须出人头地。”
不过,勒布朗的说唱水平,连十三妹这个外行也听得出,还不如杜兰特,跟科比有一拼……也不知道是因为他声音太低沉还是别的什么,听起来真的很无力,节奏也挺勉强的。
难怪制作人都说,2K19本来都找到他,让把这首歌做成游戏背景音乐,但勒布朗团队一直阻挠,他怀疑就是因为他们不想暴露勒布朗说唱水平不行这个短板。
【勒布朗歌词】
It ain’t easy on the path I’m on
But put the world on my back ‘cause I’m that strong
Long journey I been on from the very start
No way I die off, with this iron heart
No chance to make it out, that’s what they said
But look at me I’m here, [ball, set and spread?]
From 602 to 747s
I miss you grandma Frieda, R.I.P. in heaven
Say what you want ‘bout me, but leave the family alone
Or call the goons up and have ‘em freshen up the chromes
I love the goons, they up in my heart
‘Cause they been down with King James from the very start
Single parent, just moms, dad gone
It’s all good pops, you made the kid strong
Ain’t no way you can stop this kid
Mama mama knew I was a star from the baby bed
I had to make it out, no other option
Now ain’t nothing in the world that I ain’t coppin’
Yo y’all already know what it is
Now lemme just spread my wings
While y’all listen to the voice in this hook sing
总的来说,这首歌编排上不算复杂了,主要就是让二位有钱的爷爽一回,也不是要追求多高的艺术造诣。不过十三妹觉得,勒布朗以后应该都不会再进录音棚干这事儿了……
