2015 Best Hip-Hop/ Rap Albums
嘻哈音樂發展到至今其實是已經經歷了幾個世代的更替,從早期的純街頭文化當幫派背景的gangsta-rap再到嘻哈文化在全球各地散播的影響,嘻哈音樂早就不是當初單純的黑人次文化,也不再是黑人的專利,當然,所衍生出來的各種次分類,讓嘻哈音樂的種類更加多元。
就過去一年來看,2015年最大的議題之一,就是黑力對抗白力這個話題,首先美國NAACP(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,美國有色人種全國聯會)領袖Rachel Dolezal女士被踢爆她其實個白人假扮的,這事那時鬧的風風雨雨的,然而有趣的是,延伸出來的討論是嘻哈音樂至今或許已成為全球新一代青年的次文化之 一,然而,到底怎樣才算是真正的嘻哈?一個嘻哈歌手如果無法反映出他所屬的文化背景及出身,那麼他唱的還算是真嘻哈嗎?現在嘻哈歌手這麼多,街上隨便一個 招牌掉下來砸到的很有可能就是嘻哈歌手,到底這些嘻哈歌手是「黑皮白骨」還是「白皮黑骨」?其實是值得細細觀察的,所以若以此觀點來看,那麼Kendrick Lamar這張「To Pimp a Butterfly」確實是最敢講最真實亦同時保有個人創作特質的的一張佳作。
當然,除此之外,嘻哈音樂還有其他的面貌,gangsta-rap也不再是獨大的主要樂種,一些新的次類型如Nickelus F所代表的Cloud-Rap類型,Ghostpoet那種試圖將詩的韻律帶入說唱之中,都是值得注意的發展。
1. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
12/18補註:
哇,想不到SPIN會給To Pimp a Butterfly這麼高的讚譽,將此專輯封為「21世紀嘻哈音樂的The Wall專輯」(就Pink Floyd那張),當然這裡有點雙關語,「To Pimp a Butterfly is The Wall of 21st-century hip-hop」另一層意涵是它已為嘻哈音樂立下了一道很難超越的高標巨牆!
