French Rap 2012

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 04:42:55 +0000

This is a first for a rap group in France. 1995 ( ie one to nine-nine-five), a group of six rappers in the south of the capital, plays sold-out Monday, November 14 in a room of 800 people in Paris, Bataclan. The date is complete for two weeks. They have not stuck a poster, have no record company, have their only asset a mini-album of eight songs, The Source , released in June
Never a rap group will not be made known as quickly. Height of 71 000 people who follow them on Facebook , 1995 is emblematic of his generation, who now put almost everything on the Internet: the band filmed the video clips to file directly to YouTube ( see the clip of the song The source below below), occupies the ground in pieces out regularly on the Internet and has a direct relationship with its audience.

Older Booba and Lady Gaga, two heavyweights of French rap, were not far behind. The first 1,284,683 fans on his Facebook page , filled Bercy 1 st October without the support of national radio or TV, but by conducting an intense advertising campaign at the last minute. In between albums, as Lady Gaga (nearly two million fans on Facebook ), he released today Autopsy 4, a new mixtape (album kind of worked less marketing side). For three weeks, the disc available for pre-order on iTunes navigates between the third and ninth in the Top 10 selling albums of the platform while legal download is not out yet.

For the label Believe , distributor specializing in the sale of digital music is a phenomenon almost normal: “For the city, that is to say, rap, R & B and dancehall is a general trend , says Vivien Roman , director of the label. Orelsan Artists such as Sniper and sold the first week of the release of their album, third digital copies and two in physics. In the field of single and EP (“extended play” music format through), digital sales have far exceeded the physical. ”

Finding: The public “urban” buy more disk without going first the play on YouTube and discovered the newcomers on specialized websites as Booska-P.com (due out in January, a compilation of the new generation rap). With smartphones, and they offer the possibility of access to these sites and to store the music better, young people listen to their favorite artists on their mobile phone, preferably with speakerphone activated and hours of points in transit. A modern version of the New York rapper Ghetto-Blaster.

For, strangely, if the group in 1995 uses the tools of new technology to make known , to sell its concert tickets or albums, his music is resolutely turned towards the past, the French rap of the 1990s: ” What I ‘ like in that time , say at about the same time Areno Jazz and Fonky Flav in rehearsal for their concert Bataclan, is that there was no calculation on the part of rappers, but a desire to will surpass artists. MC’s not trying to copy from place absolutely refrain before the first minute to please the radio program. The report was quickly reduced to a cliché, which serves youth cit ed. ”

“We must say we have not been spoiled at the media coverage of hip-hop , adds Nekfeu. I grew up in the suburbs of Nice before landing in Paris: I had a shaved head, I was the drive. With Alpha Wann, of Guinean origin, or Sneazzy, of Moroccan origin, we could do the thugs, but it is not our delusion. ”

This time, the five rappers and DJ Lo, 20-year average detonate. They grew between 14 th and 5 th district of Paris, were on the club basketball in high school, say they are glad of the middle class and even the ” great middle class “for their DJ, and do not dream at all in signing a major label. However, the phone of their eldest Fonky Flav , 24, the only one to have continued his studies despite the rap (he holds a master of marketing and communication), does not stop ringing . It was he who found the dates of the concerts, which held that their Facebook page is managed in a ” professional “by each member, who post daily at the same time.

The artistic directors of the major labels snapped their group today: ” Signing is not mandatory , says Nekfeu. A major we can give a boost if it is not too greedy, if it meets the artist , which is rare. It does not bother us to remain independent. ”

Each member of the group also wants to get his solo album. Nekfeu, the most talented, has joined the new label Y & W both independent producers and Willy Yonea The Barge, close to the Scred connection. Y & W has won critical acclaim with Guizmo, 19, whose debut album sold over the Internet and directly to the FNAC without passing a physical distributor. Development work on the Web has paid, with special attention paid to the Youtube video:

” At our artists, says Willy The Barge, Internet is natural, they have just 20 years and have always communicated with MSN, Facebook or Skyblog. Today, with a Canon 5D camera, they can make very good small video clips on the cheap. One could almost go on TV . ”

With its clips Mac Miller became known in the United States. His first album, released November 8, is sold on iTunes: ” It proves that today we can go record labels to sell , boastful Willy The Barge . We had reason to connect to what we had: our computer, with which you registered, you climb our videos and we also sell our music . ”

Before West Side , the bling bling and bandanas assumed to 2Pac, there’s been Lunatic, the words slamming the punchlines on atomic sharp instrumentals. And between Evil Eye , and one legendary album of the duo, and platinum featurings with Akon & Booba, and there was the Black Album , a mix of some crappy times and lives of B-Sides Group released in 2005 by the label 45 Scientific , against the advice of Booba.

What we draw from this cry of the swan of a group that has long influenced French rap [ "You know me / I'm pretty beastly for the money" ] in twenty raps? Two tracks gritty in the extreme, raw in both senses of the word. Of the 92 kids who samplent the Trio for Piano and Strings No. 2 Schubert, yelling “nique the glitz and glitter” , another version of the track on the first solo Booba .

Booba and therefore, true / false gangster, true / false acclaimed writer NR F, true / false teacher ‘in French , which tells the story of an imaginary e, part Mafia Tony Montana in the mid-Chief sociopath war to Ibrahim Coulibaly on an instrument incendiary neve

and yes it’s sad but as his c today that it sells very naked women wholesale women object and violence! I’m a fan of rap but bouba is really a businessman who has his brand of clothing and gives a very wrong message to the young especially since the lyrics are vulgar and sometimes even vraimen rascites to whites. in short an artist who has sold millions of album by the violence are doing business.

The only people in violent acts and discourse but also by their past prison are around him.
He put a hand around one in jail for driving a doublette!
not forget that he was educated in the United States, paid by Dad!
In addition, the marketing machine behind him is not his first time!

We like it or not, Booba marked the French rap by his “punchlines”, his phrasing and sense of provocation.
It is similar to the “gangsta rap” US, with its qualities and defects.

“J’kiffe the illegal business, undermining, crates and gau ‘”

“I am recognized among others flow and style, some believing hostile challenge me, but how dare they? “….

It snaps, right?!

The problem is what he did after lunatic and dead time, he lost all credibility as “gangsta rap” as you say, I was quite a fan of her first two albums plus his collaborations like late 90 but if the L432 to the bling bling / biatch and behave more like a business man than a rapper is not in the spirit …

Really, thank you for this article. Lunatic was monumental, and “crime pays” one of the best songs written in the last 20 years.
… As for Booba took me longer to appreciate (voice & turn bling-bling, falsely Rican, can be repulsive, at the beginning), but it is clear that his writing, his flow and his punchlines are unparalleled in France (Casey, perhaps?). When auto-tune too much, and that its products are effective, it is unstoppable. The section of the NRF pays him tribute well, in fact.
And it is no more racist / homophobic / stupid than another – cf. the video “World” from the “Rat cities” or images of his live at Bercy, where it is clear that it affects a very diverse crowd, which does not stop at the first level (much more interesting interview) .

Yes, finally, to stop with this section of the NRF is laid by an intellectual Latin Quarter who suddenly discovered that beyond the caps Device youth knew how figures of speech. Wow, he Booba metaphors! wow it’s alliteration!
Well I’m not exaggerating, it is not zero, but finding the language issue is far below the innovations of the first poets of the street.
Well the same time the author of this blog, I believe it not know much about rap in French (Rican rap I say it).

Babou, you better close it becaufe it shows you know nothing about the character:
1 – he has not studied in the United States but is just one year left Detroit as part of an exchange in which you would you too could have access if you were doing curiosity and ‘escape 16.
2 – It does not on the radio in general and has the force of talent imposed his style (and that it speaks to you or not … … )
3 – marketting machine? if you knew just the rap industry, then you would know that in this music, in general when it There’s so many years of success then it There’s the talent that goes with it … ….
4 – Asshole

I can only plussoyer fitzgerald.
Many people know whether believer in hip-hop rap say that today is too commercial (electronic, pop …). But when the great rappers on the other side of the Atlantic released a single, we French, we can only appreciate …
Also note that this is the first French rapper to launch the autotune with “illegal” (I I recall very well, critical in every sense … and unfounded).

including exemples.Le message to young people? do not let anyone in and be a man.

incomprehensible.

this guy is uninteresting instrumentals, advocates negative and violent, and has the original timbre of his voice vulgar. the rest is Chupp chups the states, with a few years late … ..

for your good, and the good of the music, give yourself the trouble to look for real artists who innovate, who have a real personality, real love of emotion and sound, and are crushed by the power media as fakes that have charisma and APET of gain

The flow? the musical? The originality? Opening? Tolerance? I find it hard to find these things in the rap. What I found:
Gangsta-rap, violence, money, bling, faux-American. Rap of small minds captivated by a brilliant man who found it rich.
And I will spare you the speech on the Status of Women.

Booba in the tradition of the great musicians of our time disturbs, undermines good little moral Judeo-Christian-bobo, it’s shocking, shocking. What a pleasure to see his opponents as easily enter into the dance of provocation, we find here the typical reactionary comments that any enlightened mind must accept with a slight smile.
love you or love you not tell me who you know any
nigga If you are not kiffer not listen and that’s it
