I also like Johnny and appreciate his improvisation. I don't know the definition of "genius", and I don't know whether Johnny is a genius. Baidu said: Genius can describe a person's special talents; It can also be used by knowledgeable scholars (such as isaac newton or Leonardo da Vinci); Or a leader in a certain field (such as Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking or Lu Youwei). I also think that genius should be a level that others can hardly reach. People who come with their mouths open should be called "eccentric talents" or "eccentric talents" I have also checked "eccentric talents" and "eccentric talents": eccentric talents are talents who are talented in some aspects and generally can't even do it in others. A geek is a very talented person, but in some ways he is completely different from ordinary people. Generally speaking, it refers to unrestrained temperament and so on. What impressed me most was Mi Fei who beat gongs and drums to scold Cao. As long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that such people are common in life. Some of them don't care about themselves, and they don't study and explore deeply. If people who like to improvise in life pay attention, I think there may be a lot of Johnny.
Regarding rap, I thought of the scene of "smashing" houses in the countryside many years ago.
In the early years, there was no electricity, and the foundation had to be laid to tamp the soil when building houses and walls. There is no electric and quick tool, so we have to make our own rammer in a stupid way.
The tamping tool is made of two wooden sticks with a stone between them. The wooden sticks are high and low, and the high ones are convenient for main tamping. The stone is at the bottom of the stake, depending on the hardness of the foundation to be compacted and the number of rammers, but the bottom must be smooth, so that the soil can be compacted and leveled.
When tamping, one person holds a wooden stick, and several people pull the rope tied to the four corners of the stone evenly, falling together and beating the loose soil that needs tamping. The stone called tamping is heavy. In order to be safe and add a little fun to heavy manual labor, there is a slogan that is regular, rhyming and interesting. This slogan is called tamping song. Ramming songs are sung by the master who holds the stick in the middle, and those who pull the rope follow up and down. Most of the folk songs are improvisational. They sing whatever they see, and the "Hi Yao" and "Hu Er Hi Yao" with the ribbon echo the response.
When I was a child, there was no TV, no toys, someone built a house, and the cry of someone hitting the house would attract many spectators. The more people watch, the more energetic the rammer is, which can best reflect the ability of the main rammer to improvise and rap.
The old rammed scene is gone forever, the rammed scene is gone, and the rammed lyrics have long been blurred. I only remember that the master rammer was very talented, and he could sing everything he saw. For example, when he saw a baby in his arms, he sang "This child is white and fat, and his clothes are really beautiful …". When you see the old man, sing "". Grandpa has a big beard. Where are you going on crutches? "I once sang a new daughter-in-law at the scene and praised her for her beauty. The new wife was shy and turned and ran. The main rammer saw through her mind and continued to improvise. The rope was echoed and hit, and dozens of pairs of eyes were watching. She sang a new wife and went home, unable to find the direction.
Tamping folk songs is improvisation. These singers are farmers to the core. No one calls them "geniuses", but more "partisans" or "geeks".
No matter what talent it is, in short, it is very talented and must be admired!
