Does Edison Chen have the ability to be called the originator of hiphop in China?

It can be regarded as a promoter, but it is not an initiator. But it is very powerful.

Just like Jay Chou wrote lyrics, Chen Huanren, Chen Shaoqi and others composed music, and Edison Chen sang the song "War", which can almost be regarded as a successful stepping stone for Edison Chen in the field of hiphop. The whole song uses war to allude to the real society and criticize the unfairness of Hong Kong society at that time, such as work and housing prices.

However, after the negative news broke out in Edison Chen and decided to "quit the entertainment circle indefinitely", Edison Chen, who took off the star aura, chose to move to the United States, brushed off all the praise and criticism imposed on him, and silently began to trade his own fashion career.

"I absorbed a lot when I was in America. I am not a big shot here. I am not a star. Many people don't know who I am. I don't mind at all. I don't think I am a star. I just want to make some money, man. "

However, Edison Chen never gave up his dream of hip-hop. On 20 15, Edison Chen's three-part documentary "Within reach: A documentary about Edison Chen" appeared on the Internet. You can have a look if you are interested.

This documentary is divided into three episodes: Hip-hop Empire, Back to the Origin and Being Edison Chen. It was filmed in Edison Chen for 65,438+09 days and moved to Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Wenzhou.

Edison Chen's self-report, interviews with friends and street interviews are collected in the film, which shows Edison Chen's various views and attitudes towards career, music and entertainment circle.

As he said in the documentary, Edison Chen loves hip-hop music. Hip-hop is his father, teaching him how to pick up girls, how to play basketball, being careful of the bad guys around him, cherishing his true friends and giving him the strength to face life. It can be said that rap is the love of his life, and it is also his inner dream, so it is not difficult to understand why he has repeatedly fired at China's new rap.
