As LeBron James Climbing up 50,000 points - Score marks others who have never been in the NBA - Vincent Jordan, who is named Okayspade's stage, knows it's time to start.
The idea of writing songs to commemorate the occasion has already whirled in Jordan's mind. He browsed a beat on YouTube before he realized that the tracks released nearly two years ago seemed to be perfect for the tracks he wanted to make.
Jordan listened twice and made up his mind.
Jordan commented under the beat YouTube video: "Finna pays immediate tribute to LeBron James."
It took Jordan no more than 10 minutes to record the song. chorus, "LeBron, LeBron, LeBron James," Take only two of him. He coordinates and matches the chords sung by E-Flat. He then incorporates the fake layer of the lyrics of “LeBron James” to build the melody.
"I didn't do much editing. I still hope it was original because it was a comedy song," Jordan said. "I could really put in more stuff, but I didn't. I'm glad I didn't, because at the end of the day it was kind of like something I did at home. ... (It's really simple stuff, I love it. It's not complicated."
James Settings On March 4, the NBA score record against the New Orleans Pelicans, Jordan asked his friends to listen to him appropriately titled "The Song of Lebron James Anthem Domination." With their encouragement, he pressed the post button on Tiktok and continued his day.
When Jordan released a 35-second clip of his song, he had only 100 followers. The next morning, he woke up thousands of notifications.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain, a popular influencer on social media platforms, commented under the post: "This fire."
After his songs spread on Tiktok, Jordan decided to release one minute on the streaming platform, thirty-five second editions. As March progressed, Tiktok's creators began making their own LeBron James songs with more popular R&B hits on lyrics about Lakers stars.
Therefore, the trend was born.
Since then, Jordan's songs have accumulated over 7 million views and 800,000 likes and have gained over 6,000 followers on Tiktok.
As “Los Angeles Rule” continues to circulate on social media, the song caught Ferrehouse’s attention. The record label flew Jordan to Los Angeles for a conversation and sent him to his first Lakers game. He signed a deal that allowed him to record six songs for the tag.
"Dreams come true," he told ESPN.
Music has always played an important role in life in Jordan. His parents surrounded him with music by participating in the entertainment industry, especially the rhythm and blues genre. Jordan's mother performed the breakup R&B song. His father sang love songs and was also an actor at the Black Ensemble Theater in downtown Chicago.
"I can't imagine my life without music," Jordan said.
But Jordan believes it is impossible to establish a career in the music field.
"I just don't believe in the chance," Jordan said. "Because in my mind, everyone wants to make music, so what makes me different from everyone else?"
Jordan was not inspired by his musical teaching. This also comes from being a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers star. The 24-year-old became a fan of James when veterans helped the Cleveland Cavaliers to make the iconic 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals.
"The situation shows that he is conflicted, they went through the game and completely beat one of the best teams of all time, and it's an unfavorable basketball game," Jordan said with a smile.
Jordan could never imagine his Tiktok creation would be a source of inspiration for others.
Tiktoker Cortez Miles Sing and play instruments in the church before his father and friend realized the extent of his musical ability. However, he didn't post most of the music to Tiktok, and the posts he made didn't get a lot of attention--until the LeBron James Trend emerged.
"I started to hear some of these sounds, like at first, it was a joke because I did music - I did R&B music," Miles said. But then his musical instinct began, telling him to join.
Miles doesn't want to remix songs that are considered "fashion" or "poppy." Instead, he wanted to create something different and wanted to bring his audience back to what he called a "good R&B" era.
He decided to test the waters to see how his listeners interact with his songs. His first LeBron James Remix is Drake's "Girls Love Beyoncé" approach. Miles' idea of the 21st NBA All-Star Game is free and free and tries to match it with the original song.
"I did templates for any process of real songs and reprocessed it with LeBron's praise," Miles said. "When you hear songs without beats, I keep the same flow as the original work, and if you just heard the flow of what I'm talking about, that's the song. ...I just got rid of what I know and what I see. Obviously, he's the goat.
He laughed and said, “If I had to play these songs, I couldn’t even do that because I didn’t even know my lyrics after I posted it.”
Miles was more involved with Charlie Wilson's "Charlie, last Wilson" (renamed "Lemix") and Jon B. He saw Chris Brown's "Residue" (Tiktok's "Residue" (Tiktok's "Residue" (Tiktok) more.
When Miles posted a rendition, other users began posting new requests under the post. One user asked Mileage to mix T-Pain's "Buy U Buy A Droank" and titled it "Le'get You a Ring" - he did it, and it took off.
"I didn't expect none of them would go crazy," Miles told ESPN. So once they did, people suggested "Hey, do this song" and if I thought it would (sound) well, then I would do it and post it there. Like, it takes a few seconds. ”
Miles has had the biggest success on his plate, including the T-Pain "Shawty" remix, which he renamed "Le'Shawty."
“We know he is the greatest of them, yes, I’m talking about LeBron James,” Myers sings. There are over 46,000 likes and counts in this rendition alone.
On March 31, after the Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 104-98, a reporter asked James if he knew about this trend. LeBron admits he has heard many songs.
"It's almost impossible (not seeing them). My youngest son Bryce actually showed me one...we laughed a lot from there. There's a lot there."
Miles wondered if the group of "lemons" James had seen was his "lemons", but he didn't overthink.
"If he saw it, he already saw it, but I prefer interaction with other people, being able to connect and enjoy the trend," Miles said. "It's cool to get him in the end. It's great for anyone who has any trend."
James is not However, only NBA superstars can get Tiktok songs.
A few days after Jordan released Reigning in La, Tiktok user Trynden released a 40-second R&B song about Stephen Curry.
LeBron James' songs weren't popular at the time. Trynden didn't want to copy Jordan's idea, but he told ESPN that he had a gut feeling that if he sang a curry song, it would spread.
"I just did it for fun and thought it would get big," Trynden said.
The lyrics of the song are gone: “Oh, Stephen Curry, oh, oh, No. 30; when he shoots, he turns around; don’t look.
"I'm really happy when it spreads, it's just surreal. I think it could happen, but when it does, I'm surprised."
Trynden is not going to do any other curry songs in the future. But as for Miles and Jordan, they say they will continue to write songs as long as James joins the league and pursues his fifth NBA title.
