Black Vau’s new song – “Going in the summer” – was considered by some audiences to show an unsportsmanlike and patriarchal spirit.
The MV is currently at the top of trending on YouTube Vietnam, reaching 3.5 million views after two days of release. The song features musician Tran Tien, the song of Black Vau after four months of release Bring money home for mom.
* Audio of the song “Going in the summer”
Like many previous compositions, Black pursues rap melody – rap genre with rhyme, rhythmic sentences, rustic and easy-to-listen melody. The structure of the piece is divided into three sections. In the first paragraph, the rapper writes about the rigors of football, likening sport to life with “journeys to fulfill dreams”. Part two, he raps about sublimation emotions, celebrating the victory of the home team in the atmosphere of “red flags in the sky”. The last paragraph is a dialogue about the young couple’s love for football.
After its release, the song caused a lot of controversy in the lyrics. Some people say that when they listen to Black’s new song, they feel many negative words, for example in the first paragraph: “The opponent is like a lover, following me in a entangled way / But the lover is hoping keep me healthy, and the opponent wants me to get injured.”
Audience Nguyen Tuan Linh commented that the lyrics of the song had a hint of violence, through phrases such as “spear and arrow”, “arrival”, etc., viewing your team as an enemy because “wanted to get hurt”. In an article shared by hundreds of people, blogger Hai Eight Nine suggested that the song might inadvertently encourage uncivilized behavior by some fans in the name of football love. “I understand the emotional frustration when witnessing the injuries of the home team players, however, please cheer with soberness. Don’t always consider yourself a victim, the opposing team is always the ‘villain side’. ‘ and think they want to cause injury to their team,” the blogger wrote.
The third verse of the song also makes many people think that Den Vau portrays a patriarchal man: “On the internet, I’m a moderate, sometimes at home I’m a conservative/ Normally, you’re the boss. house, but when the whistle blows, the name has to be changed to the owner…”. Audience Hoa Nguyen asked: “Is it because of the love of football, if I change the channel, do you have the right to be violent?”.
According to poet Nguyen Phong Viet, when composing a new song, Den Vau just wanted to create rhymes that match each other in a cute way. However, when placed in the context of football cheering music, these lyrics are inappropriate, even unsportsmanlike. “Stories about love and family can be just personal, but with a topic as popular as sports, it’s possible that Black was subjective, not anticipating the negative views that the singer received. This is a very unfortunate incident for someone who is considered to be always careful with lyrics like Den”, commented Phong Viet.
However, many listeners believe that rap lyrics should be included in the overall song instead of analyzing each sentence separately or deducing the meaning.. Audience member Luong Le Minh said: “Some of the messages in the song may be considered belligerent, sexist… But rap is a genre where sometimes words are ‘overdone’ a bit. If you listen to the whole song, you will see that Den Vau doesn’t have any bad intentions.”
In addition to the lyrics, Black Vau’s new hit received a lot of criticism for the chorus part with unknown lyrics. The scene of motorbikes running in a circle in the MV is also said to be similar to The Weeknd’s performance at the Billboard Music Awards 2021. Currently, the rapper has not commented on the mixed opinions around the new product.
Rapper Den Vau real name is Nguyen Duc Cuong, born in 1989 in Ha Long. Before singing, Black worked as a garbage collector for seven years. The rapper started his career with the following compositions: Taking each other to hide, Following the shadow of the sun, Oh God, I don’t want to die yet, The girl next door, Me and her…
