FLAVAZ
OF
THE FRENCH
HIP-HOP
Wanna meet those
who are gonna give a new definition to the word "HIP HOP"?... Well beware!...
Cause once you'll have checked those groups it'll be too late for you to
go back... Your only solution will be to come and live in France, cause
the world may not be ready to hear such a revolution... I didn't include
them in my "Real Hip-Hop Hall of Fame" whereas no doubt they have their
place there, but I really wanted them to stand out... Get ready to know
why...
I
AM
I AM is one of the
"HIP-HOP veteranz" in France and no doubt the most talented one. With rappers
Akhenaton, Shurik'N, Freeman, Imhotep, Kephren, and the great DJ Kheops.
"La Saga" with Sunz of Man
"L'Empire du Coté Obscur" -- Excellent lyrics in the atmosphere
of Star Wars
"Kheops
E a l'Horizon" -- Amazing scratching lesson from DJ Kheops
Ca se passe comme ça -- "Chez le Mac"
"Kheops E a l'Horizon" -- Another bit of this fantastic scratching lesson
Awesome scratching performance from DJ Cheops in "Bouger la Tete" who manages
to construct a whole sentence with several samples: "Imagine - la tête
- Ca va bouger? - Ouais!... - En avant - en arriere - en haut - ou en bas"
(translation: Imagine - the head - Is it gonna move? - Yeeeah!... - Forward
- backward - upwards - downwards)
Once again it's Cheops who scratches an old famous sample in "Elvis"
"Je ne Veux Plus Voir Personne en Harley Davidson" (translation: I don't
wanna see no one on a Harley Davidson Any More) This song contains some
of the funniest lyrics on Earth
Last but not least -- "Le Feu" is the Hip-Hop version of the anthem of
Marseille's football team supporters
