第九十四章 准备弹药

he doesn't need his name up in lights

He just wants to be heard whether

it's the beat or the mic

He feels so unlike everybody else,alone

In spite of the fact that some people

still think that they know him

But Fuck'em

he knows the code

It's not about the salary

it's all about reality and makin'some noise

Makin'the story makin'sure his clique stays up

That means when he puts it down

摩图拉办公室内,宋亚跟着节拍强烈的伴奏,将一大段RAP唱了下来,然后一指艾尔,“Ale's pickin'it up,let's go!”

艾尔随即接上,Who the hell is he anyway

He never really talks much

Never concerned with status

but still leavin'them star struck

Humbled through opportunities

given despite the fact

That many misjudge him because

he makes a livin'from writin'raps

Put it together himself,

now the picture connects

Never askin'for someone's help,

to get some respect

He's only focused on what he wrote,

his will is beyond reach

And now when it all unfolds,

the skill of an artist

然后是迪莱,This is twenty percent skill,eighty percent beer……

一曲唱罢,办公室里的听众都嗨起来了,“哇哦!”玛丽亚凯莉站起来鼓着掌说道:“音乐旋律很富力量和激情,词也很好,APLUS,你又完成了一首好歌,This is ten percent luck,twenty percent skill,Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,Five percent pleasure,fifty percent pain,And a hundred percent reason……”

她即兴比划着嘻哈手势跟唱了几句,果然天赋惊人,听过一遍就学得有模有样。

摩图拉笑吟吟地看着她,“不如你干脆转型当饶舌歌手算了,玛丽。”

“讨厌。”玛利亚凯莉娇嗔着打了下他的胳膊。

摩图拉很受用地大笑。

“伴奏很精彩,就是短了点……”华特还是那样有啥说啥:“后面基本在不停重复。”

“饶舌音乐就是这样,节奏感和韵脚最为重要。”宋亚回答,为了让改动后的歌词合韵,他烧死了不少脑细胞。

“确实。”大卫科尔给他和艾尔、迪莱递上香槟,“这首remember the name比你的首单I Feel It Coming强多了。”

“会大卖吗?”宋亚问。

“绝对的。”摩图拉举起酒杯,“你在首单宣传上面就很令我刮目相看了,我没料到这么不配合传统发行方式的做法会卖出白金唱片,这首歌会更成功的APLUS。华特,继续为他的正式版本制作提供帮助,后续宣传也一样……”

“当然。”华特和宣传负责人答应道。

众人饮尽杯中酒离开,罗伯托克莱维尔扶着宋亚的肩膀带他去录音室,很热络地问道:“沃伦兄弟公司那事你打算怎么办?”

“我已经委托芝加哥一家有名的律所和AW投资公司交涉了,等格莱美颁奖典礼之后,我会亲自去新泽西。”宋亚回答。

“好的,到时候叫上我。”

“没问题。”

“对了还有……”罗伯托克莱维尔在录音室门口停住脚步,“我们今年也打算签一些饶舌歌手,你有什么看好的人可以推荐推荐。”

“是吗?我可以推荐?”宋亚看向对方,摸不准他这是随口一提还是为了后面的收购案示好。

“当然,咱们是朋友。”罗伯托克莱维尔回道。

那就是示好了,这说明对方对这桩收购案可能还有什么其他想法,“行,我会留意,谢了,罗伯特。”

跟罗伯托克莱维尔告别,宋亚走入哥伦比亚唱片为他准备的录音室,这首歌的特性不太适合玛丽亚凯莉的‘铁笼’录音棚,而且她五月份要发第二专,使用时间上也协调不过来,所以换到了另外一间常规规格的录音室,当然,设备依然是顶级的,而且也不再需要和其他歌手共用了。
