A phenomenal rap called Ye Lang Disco (Wild Wolf Disco) has stormed China's music platforms after it hit reality show Rap of China in August. Though the song didn't get its singer into the final round, it has hooked listeners with its catchy rhythm and nostalgic lyrics.

繼今年8月登陸《中國新說唱》綜藝節(jié)目后，《野狼disco》爆紅各大音樂播放平臺，已經(jīng)成為最新洗腦神曲。雖然這首歌并沒有成功讓歌手走到節(jié)目最后，但上頭的旋律和有回憶感的歌詞已征服了很多聽眾。

The 33-year-old Dong Baoshi (Gem), a rapper from Northeast China, quickly rose to fame thanks to the popular song, in which he raps observations from his hometown in both a local dialect and Cantonese, while fusing a vaporwave track with disco house.

今年33歲的董寶石是一名來自東北的說唱歌手，因《野狼disco》一曲成名。他在創(chuàng)作中講述了自己家鄉(xiāng)的生活經(jīng)歷，粵語與東北話完美配合，“蒸汽波”曲風(fēng)中帶著魔性的社會搖。

Fans of Gem call him "uncle", as a way of expressing intimacy. Wearing a trendy fur coat, a young man good at disco dancing tries to flirt with a girl he has crush on with exaggerated dance moves but he fails. The song tells a sad romance by depicting an old-fashioned club experience in China's industrial regions.

粉絲們喜歡親切地稱呼董寶石為“老舅”。在歌詞里，正在蹦迪的老舅穿著貂皮大衣，心思縝密地前去搭訕中意的姑娘，卻慘遭拒絕。透過一個憂傷的故事，這首歌講出了昔日東北老工業(yè)地區(qū)特有的迪廳文化。

On Oct 15, William Chan released his Cantonese version of Ye Lang Disco with MV, which quickly climbed to the top of most music ranking platforms, pushing the song to a larger audience. Meanwhile on Douyin, different celebrities have danced to the song in their own way, bringing the rap an online virality.

10月15日，歌手陳偉霆發(fā)布了他改編的粵語版《野狼disco》MV，迅速拿下幾乎所有歌曲榜單冠軍，讓這首歌又火了一把；此外，抖音上明星們配上《野狼disco》的魔性舞蹈也讓該曲更加流行網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

Why do people love the song? Many hail its nostalgia, while others say it's a reflection of Gem's personal experience, stubbornly pursuing his music style in a fast-changing music industry increasingly dominated by capital.

為什么這首歌如此受歡迎呢？不少人說它打動了懷舊的靈魂，也有人從歌里讀出了一個倔強的老舅，在資本裹挾的音樂市場上艱難前行。

The comment with the most likes on NetEase Music player reads: "This is by no means a comedy-style hip hop. But a piece of art work."

在網(wǎng)易云音樂上獲得最高贊的留言點評：這不是什么喜劇說唱，這就是藝術(shù)。

Music critics believe it's the truthful storytelling of normal people's real lives that has awakened old memories and resonated with people.

有評論認為，歌曲對普通人世俗生活的真實反映勾起了大家的回憶，引發(fā)了一代人的集體共鳴。

"Many hip hop songs aim to tell the life of people who lavishly spend money after they get rich. But that's not most people's real lifestyle. It doesn't relate to our memories and emotions of this piece of land we live on," Gem told reporters from GQ Talk during an interview. "I'm trying to seek more possibilities during my production."

在接受GQ報道采訪時，董寶石說：“很多Hip pop歌曲的視角是我高高在上，就是哥們行了，哥們就是有錢，每天揮金如土，香檳洗手。但這不是大部分人的生活狀態(tài)。我們?nèi)鄙僖恍╆P(guān)于情感和時代的記憶和認知，所以是想在自己音樂創(chuàng)作中嘗試更多的可能性。”

On the other hand, the song is embedded with many internet-friendly elements. With neon colors on its album poster, humorous Northeastern dialect, and lines easy to sing along to, it's no surprise the song has gone mainstream.

當然，《野狼disco》本身也充滿了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)基因。霓虹燈風(fēng)格海報，自帶喜感的東北話，加上“來左邊跟我一起畫彩虹，在你右邊再畫個龍”的魔性歌詞，讓這首上頭的歌不火都難。

It's no wonder that netizens say: The first time I heard the song, I didn't get its point. The second time, I felt it was quite interesting. At the third try, the song couldn't get out of my head.

難怪有讀者評論：“第一遍，這啥玩意？第二遍，有點意思，好玩。第三遍，再也停不下來了。”
