An American's Take on French Rap
Episode description
Bet you didn't see this coming! We have been fans of French rap for years, and we're so excited to share some of our thoughts on this genre! French rap is characterized by atmospheric swells, crisp trap beats, melodic hooks, and the ever-present 'hype crew' in the background. Hip hop was exported to France from America back in the late 1980's, and France has since become Europe's leading producer of high-quality rap/trap music. Needless to say, it's far surpassed American rap in terms of quality, musicality, and ingenuity.
In this episode, we bring back Isaiah, our in-house French speaker, to help with pronunciation and offer some opinions of his own. The artists covered in this episode are PNL, RK, and Stromae--however, this barely scratches the surface of all the good music out there! We've created a French Rap playlist on Spotify to give credit to all the other artists we're fans of--check it out at the link below!
Today's Daily Shuffle(s) are Bene by PNL, Zone by RK, & C'est pas des LOL by Jul. Which one is your favorite??
