Been a listener for a couple of years now, still ain't got a fucking clue what they are saying but the flow of the french language is dope.
Yeah well it was way better before, since NTM n IAM, since Booba dropped lunatic n became a bitch I aint really interested anymore. Soprano I cant stand his flow and with his southern accent Im having a hard time understanding whar hes sayin, Halla Hall n A la Bien, I hate these songs. Keny arkana thats good, La rage n La mère des enfant perdus, great shit. Right now, Abd Al Malik is the only french rapper/slammer who I really listen to, cause his words are wonderful.
Keny Arkana, Soprano and El Matador are all Marseille rappers?Quote:

I like NTM, IAM, Fonky Family.
Oxmo Puccino has some good songs. So does Kamelancien (his harder tracks). Soprano is nice.
El matador n soprano are but keny arkana's from the Hauts-de-seine, its near Paris.Quote:

NTM is the shit, thats my favourite french group ever, so much dope songs, like Seine st denis style, nique la police and all, its like the french NWA, with La Haine being the french Boy Z n the hood, but it shows how lame french rap is compared to american rap. I mean NTM is great, but compared to NWA, it aint shit.Quote:

Fonky family I used to like, then I grew up.
Any of y'all listened to Abd Al Malik, its gonna be a bit hard for you to like it if you dont understand what he says, but you should try.
theres ALOT of AMAZING french rap, just search youtube. I would say its on par with US rap, if not better at times.
recommend me some to check out?Quote:

these guys can't rap. their shit is very commercial
Back in the days , there were a lot of dope groups in france but now i don't know if you can find a classic album each year
For me the best french group ever is IAM
akhenaton is just the dopest mc in france this guy is so amazing
ntm was dope too. paris always had some nice mc's and groups like oxmo puccino lunatic etc...
if i had to recommend you a few names i would say
IAM (solo albums included they're really really dope ---> akhenaton shurik'n and freeman),
Le rat luciano (mc from la fonky family),
Assassin(classic shit even if sometimes they're boring),
Ntm(watch the live dvd)
Oxmo puccino (dope lyricist and storyteller)
Lunatic
then check some shit like chiens de paille, carré rouge, keny arkana, Busta flex, Nap( abd al malik group) it's worse listening. and please don't trust your hear if you think that people like La fouine sounds good cuz it's absolutely wrong.
Let em know if you want to know more about a few names
peace

download "Ou je vis" from Shurik'n this shit is classic
Hell yeah La Fouine aint shit, I agree with almost everything, Abd Al Malik is really good but I dont know if folks that dont speak french would really be interested cause its his words that really make him great. I like NTM better than IAM, and yeah Lunatic was dope but now Booba is done.Quote:

Not bad, but I guess 'Real' french hip-hop is more lyrical, which means nothing to me as I can't understand them so I just go for the good sounding beats.Quote:

Yeah you're right Abd Al Malik is very lyrical, but since hes to me the best french rapper I wanted to share a subtitled song with yall. I guess french and non-frenchs got a really different opinion toward french rap. If I don't like the lyrics Im really having a hard time listening to the song even if it sounds good.Quote:

what about saian supa crew???
peace dirt
Peace Monk, yeah I used to like Saian Supa Crew, nowadays they're finished, but they did some real dope shit, like that :
But a group I really was into, Mafia Trece :
"Quoi tu veux partir? t-t-t dans le sac petit!" ha ha, the good old days.

tha best album i ve heard have been fonky family - art de rue
Well yeah obviously L'école du micro d'argent is the classic french hip hop album, along with Authentik. I love IAM, but Im much more of a NTM fan. Anyway that afro jazz song, I used to listen to it a lot, its fire, but ODB is still killin the track. Petit frère is not with INS, it just samples his CREAM line, its a wonderful song.Quote:

^^That one is a banga, but then so is that whole album.
Here is sumthin shameful, i told yall B2O was finished. Any similarity with the we run this town wideo is accidental, lol. By the way, the title means, we run this place.

I like La Fouine's lastest album :thumbup:
I listened to alot of Children Of The Moon by Psy4 album this week for the first time in a while too, ill as fuck :spin:

French hip hop sounds so dope..pity i cant understand it but its true they all got killer flows.
IAM are the best french rappers imo
I was relistening Booba's ouest side today, I had forgotten how dope this shit was, he might be fake, hes still one of the best lyricists in french hip hop.
What is the opinion on Hocus Pocus?
I just downloaded there album, Place 54. So far so good
:spin:
