BOOBA, marten, ROHFF, the death of French rap The French rap is definitely dead, and as far as I can remember, he has not lived well long. Some will tell you that rap was good at the time of AMI, or NTM. Further, that the spirit Solaar was it hip-hop. And still others will tell you that French rap is dead in the late 90s when Skyrock put hands on it. I would say that French rap has never wanted to fulfill its primary function, namely demand for youth and cities. Even if you can give to groups such as NTM or IAM, having produced songs called "conscious" of the kind, where
Little brother still
not leave your son , it's still very light and mostly it does never addresses the causes of shit that affect the suburb and its inhabitants, and yet it was so much better today.
True whore! IAM What is the bottom? Mia and their delusions Pharaonic (Sheryo) through an album hailed by critics
School of micro money, which sounds like
Empire of the Dark Side make me wonder what the matrix Rappers in Marseille may well have been falling. I stop here because the critics have to admit that songs like
When you went, or were returned Tomorrow is far worth a visit. Basically what I'm saying is that when we look back we AMI remembered less for the tracks "aware" that kind of cinematic delirium
The bad boys of Marseille (shit notorious "featuring the FF) and I danced the famous
mia. Overall I think that at that time listening to rap was still less harmful to young cities today.
Same for NTM (Nique ta mère!) Which initially had the merit of trying to say things in songs like
Tomorrow's world that talks about problems with the commuter that will cross today not even the mind of a rapper. Although NTM has made much sense in French rap they fell like all in the trap set by Skyrock & Co which I will later. Indeed, a song like My
Benz shows how they are sucked through the hose commercial rap money, giving up a few euros more for thousands of neighborhood youngsters. However, NTM has less harm to a French rap Rohff, Booba La Fouine or.
While happened to that rap drift to achieve this kind of crap that is sold to young citizens in search of sensations or destitute provincial whose dream is to live in a suburb very dirty history proudly say, "Yo, I'm the 94! "reply that you can adapt to" the Wesh'm 91, 92, 93 or even 95 "
The first big rap wound was made by another group of well-known scene Hip-Hop, The Minister Amer. Rappers of 95, Stomy Bugsy and Passi, sometimes in association with Doc Gyneco have introduced the concept of a thug, or Scarla as usual rap. They knew how to style, we must recognize give the appearance of the small city called strike today scum or Kaira, depending on usage. The thug style was easily recognizable, he wore a levis 501 (LOUD please without cuffs), a pair of Reebok classic, even a pair of Stan Smith. The pair of Nike Air Max arrived soon after. Above, he proudly sported a sweet sweater or a brand Lacoste. Otherwise, it was the famous tracksuit, Lacoste, burgundy, black, green, white and even yellow for eccentrics.
The Minister was bitter, one may say, a pioneer in the rap-capitalist gangsters with the cash, hoes (rats) and songs like "Sacrifice
chicken" (soundtrack Hatred, whose The story revolves around a guy who is preparing to kill a cop if his friend dies ...). In their flagship album "95200" (teal) are participating for the first time the emergence of purely thematic type gangsterism fuck the police, I dodged the cops I'm a thug and I love sluts. Titles like
Rats like thugs or Faster than bullets illustrate this shift in French rap futility is the sublimation of violence. From there, the French rap will never be the same. The changing time with them, rappers are importing more and more what gangsta rap that comes from the U.S. and now the rapper is concern over his appearance and his pair of Nike as his friends in the city. For example, the rappers of the group formed by Ärsenik Calbo Lino de Villiers and the Bel proudly set Lacoste cap, sneakers and sweater dress symbol of upward mobility in poor neighborhoods. Moreover, these two rappers are directly derived from the influence of the MA follow only the umlaut. Despite the talent of the two rappers, especially Lino, we will not withhold any song on the album
few drops ... that is truly engaged in something other than their own promotion.
The French rap in the era between the poorer correlation with several factors.
- rap thug
- The arrival of Skyrock
- The venality of rappers
- Cowardice rappers
- The will to silence any challenge reflected in the Cities (Skyrock, State ????)
- The aping rap American capitalist
The beginning 2000s definitively mark the end of rap called "conscious" or engaged; time is easy money, and if it had to be sacrificed to the spirit of French rap on the altar of prostitution, little has hesitated kill what remains of dignity in this music. One example was 2000, Yannick,
These evenings there . RIP poor French rap! At that time, radio, or rather, Skyrock had understood a little fuzzy enough to silence the claims of the suburbs, the effect was doubly perverse because in addition to ignoring the claims that could do some rappers This rap cut to commercial sauce ridicules people from the suburbs by posing as clowns ready to entertain the masses on samples of Claude François.
A new generation of rappers appeared at that time, groups like 113, Sniper, La Mafia K1fri, flooding of their hits airwaves Skyrock and Ado Fm. In 2001, the album Sniper
From laughter to tears a hit with the title most crybaby in the history of French rap
targeted which tells how the poor youth of cities are victims of prejudice. On the other hand, to succeed, certainly the 113 to compensate for the lack of talent the group has focused on the community to break. To be clear, each of its corn through the individual pieces, and so it gets any sympathy from Sky loves the excitement of the origins of suburban youth. With songs like
Tonton du Bled or
Rabzouz (Mafia K1fri) songs praising the Maghreb, we quickly understand that French rap has greater interest in discussing issues Franco-French. One could add to this the direction taken by Mokobe with tubes of Africa was 100%, but not bother to dwell on that. In addition, to meet growing demand from record labels and leading powers of the French rap (TEFA ??!!!!) key gangsters is always necessary, even indispensable. Thus a song like
Hold Up (feat. Untouchables) tells us the running of a bank robbery, just to remind young people their options for future direction.
You'll understand now to sell en masse in the French rap options are reduced, or you're the victim mourner sauce SOS Racism type Sniper, Sefyu
In Black and White ( Excuse me for being black and mix yourself) or you can count on the support of your ethnic community as the 113 and the friends of K1fri Mafia (Mafia gang always touted the reference).
can add to that a new type of rap Skyrock and approved by the rappers who guarantee a meteoric rise, this is the street rap 100% guaranteed testosterone and dangerousness.
The emergence of these rappers, for short, is an extension of the phenomenon and independent underground rap that was recovered by the powers of the medium, Skyrock Tefa & Company. Can be classified into guys like Booba, Rohff, Tandem, Sinik. This report is the aspect of authenticity ghetto "for those who understand, for others it is actually rappers who act as if the system had not recovered, whereas in reality they are working hard for him . Take the example of Sinik, Evry rapper who spit on Skyrock cheerfully when he could not spend and bent his knees when he spun it as a springboard commercial.Aujourd 'hui we can thank him for making feat with James Blunt and give young people feel with tracks like
The same blood atmosphere parlors and prison life. Same for
Booba, Lunatic, which was part of a duet with rapper Ali. At the time their album Evil Eye
will be the first rap album to be independent French gold record, which proves the power and influence that this musique.Pour stories a bit suspicious (money ??) the group dissolves and separates from the label Booba 45 scientific.
Then the story everybody knows, no more texts tinged "Ghetto", multiply the tubes Booba egotrips such
No. 10, Boulbi, songs that extol the qualities of the rapper's enemies and threaten the potential danger of attacking him. Songs that are silent and empty slowly from the French rap which in its strength and substance. Money is the central value in the texts of Booba and nobody, even his biggest fans can not deny, that value for money by Booba is really unhealthy but who cares, he sells discs nan? Other songs like
Guard fishing perpetuate the style, money, violence and futility perfectly. The song begins: "The MCs are mown
prisoners in their role " !!!!! If we break it we find both that a rapper is broke by definition bad, because it was not successful and the other by lack of money they are trapped in a role. But what role does he speak? one to talk about the filth around them and the problems of neighborhoods?? If that's it, well, we can say that Booba was tremendously successful. I will not even lift weights began the rapper's 92 to get it all shirtless more often in her videos and so sell more to small patties and damsels suburban neighborhoods rich. Finally you get the French rapper who sells the most with the support that we know.
Regarding Rohff, the procedure is different but the result remains the same. His first album
code of honor described on Wikipedia as well:
"(...) s years without the support and promotion of radios. Far from being commercial, this album is one of the best French rap and for many, the best album of Rohff. "The Code of Honor" is a real success and is now estimated at 50 000 copies sold. " Like Booba, Rohff in indie music is "aware" no business without concessions. If I say a song like
From the Heart people will understand what I mean. In 2001, Rohff joined a major label rap and soul "hardcore" as dry disappears, giving way to songs like
TDSI ,
Mirror, mirror or 5,9,1 the classic big radios, ie the mix between rap and impaired the smooth R & B (Ekoué) commercial success almost always guaranteed. Yet he emerges from the texts Rohff a right spirit of the dispute Booba. If one does not hide his love for money and easy girls, the other wants a lot more spiritual and closer to its religion, namely Islam. But again schizophrenia rappers seems boundless and his next album will be the perfect example.
with pride of ours Rohff gets a double gold disc. The album is a potpourri, you can find everything and anything above. Indeed, the rapper has certainly felt the criticism of his latest album not quite "hardocore" taste of some, the rapper's 94 attempts to deliver a little "ghetto" in this album including a song called
94 which according I simply sublimate the violence and decadence of thugs in his department. Between Islam and violence should be selected and mixed by me Rohff dangerously both. Particularly in the famous video where he "clash" some people blithely insulting their mothers but we are getting a little off topic. But POUUURRRQUOIII?? Why are these rappers talent all end up being misled then?
If one were to identify a culprit in the death of French rap, I point the finger Skyrock without hesitation. Of course, without the complicity of rappers, this would have never happened, but when you know how that has developed Skyrock kneel French rap was the impression that occult powers have struggled to silence the voice of the ghetto gates. If one summarizes the terms of which the rappers must pay to be broadcast on the radio, we see several things.
- Promotion rap gangsterism
- Promotion rap whines
- Promotion rap SOS Racism Promoting
- rap feat with bland R'n'B
- Promotion rap festive and frivolous (Soprano Crazy )
- Promotion rap community (113)
- End of the claim and the authors of talent (The rumor Youssoupha, Casey, "Assassins" etc ...)
- End rap "hardcore" in the sense of the term ( Ideal J) not one who says stupid nic France and used the system
- Promotion of the clash of civilizations!
And yes my friends, Skyrock does not choose his foals at random. One of the best examples of productions more than crappy Skyrock has brought in French rap, the height of futility and void in rap, death beliefs and claim that music could be symbolized by a one man, the marten, a kind of Islamo-rabble, who speaks American and French so doubtful. La Fouine is a little tray ready to consume tasteless that everyone buys because it is in the air. You not find a worse caricature of American rapper than this man. If tomorrow the Americans rapping with dildos instead of their microphones, you can be sure he will do the same, followed by Booba loan and perhaps even Rohff. Aping the maximum thrust, the marten and the worst thing that could happen in French rap. Why?? Because he sells discs or it multiplies lies, cartoons, fake good feelings, religion and money. With him, French rap on its head. Hello beautiful cars, the gang was shot twice and mythomania.
"We sell programs to stay on top" he said to maintain the sensational side of which are so fond of young people but also small bourgeois scum in the making.
To help you navigate through the real and fake rappers, tell you a simple thing happens when a rapper is a rapper on skyrock livestock. It has been nice to be wild before, the machine knows how skyrockienne mater, even unwittingly, rappers most anti-system. Livestock is a rapper a rapper who agrees to sell his house to provide a disk (since it is necessarily major) types to move the pieces for radio. The sentimental song (possible or with Assia feat Vitaa or any What R & B singer in con), the piece egotrip meaningless piece falsely informant (basic anti-racism, or whining), the song ass and gangsterism and money to finish the piece festif.Un rapper livestock, it is actually alleviated or a rapper like skim milk. It has the shape, appearance of rapper, but that's not a rapper.
Basically, Skyrock maintains the image that people have of the youth of the suburbs of France. Uneducated, violent, amoral, Islamized (bad sense) and futile. It is no coincidence that now a teenager of 15 years do not even know who is François Mitterand, he spends his days listen to shitty music, chatting on skyblog, and finishing his day by listening Difool explaining to girls 16 years how to be sodomized by a boyfriend without hurting.
In conclusion, the rappers today have been fully recovered by the system with Skyrock. Even if he does not realize they are still going strong all the cliches that can be conveyed by the media about the suburbs, Islam, gangsterism and violence and turn it into goodwill juicy . Rappers like Youssoupha are not even allowed to title their albums as they wish, and for the assurance of success even ephemeral, French rappers are ready to talk about trivialities, or worse, to value things harmful and dangerous for those who listen. Rappers become schizophrenic and not even know which character they must be to switch to radio. Rappers like Sefyu, Sinik Diam's or can spend a rap "hardcore" on the most infamous stew grown by a radio wave evil ex rockers led by a deranged sex. Want
treat France as a bitchy (SNIPER), an apologist for the mob rule (BOOBA, marten), sully Islam by claiming in your videos (marten, ROHFF), or despise the poor and proud to be rich (Booba), no problem Skyrock will always be there to promote you. By cons, if you want to raise awareness of youth issues and pitfalls that surround them (The rumor, Casey, Yousef), if you want to expose the system or to reflect the young, well then you can be sure skyrock does not even look at you. If by chance you manage to sell thousands of albums independently without promotion, and has skyrock you reach out, I happily invite you to give them a big middle finger if you know the consequences of your actions. On the other hand, I was saying earlier that this would never have happened without the complicity of the rappers themselves, and force is small concessions to the impression that today is so, and it will never change. It even comes in finding mitigating circumstances for rappers who distribute their daubent skyrock at all because they sell and they roll in Germany. To this I simply say that what the suburbs have to lose is a thousand times the earnings of the system chosen few skyrock.
Rap is not music like the others, and while some artists want to talk about their bullet hole rather than important things they have left the house or the dance of the 90s there's no worries. Rap is not meant to compromise, otherwise it's not rap, it's crap!
PS: This article is a short summary of the history and movements of French rap, so large parts of the history of rap in France were obscured. I preferred the most visible but ultimately, the less representative of the spirit of this music. However, it is, I think, the most devastating for society and youth in cities.
PS 2: I do not deny the talent of all these rappers, except some, but the question is not on talent but on their ability to give their buttocks to the system. On the other hand, I know that even the rappers I touts are already spent on Skyrock, but their cases are real differences.
