Hi witches, poke @spiderrobotpig Before all, try to understand I don't like rap who take it to seriously, cause even if we have some bad places to live in france, "gangsta style" is often sound a litle bit cheesy for me. I'm focusing on text or rapper who make fun of others (but don't fall in the "parody" and understand the style), also I will miss a lot of good "serious" one cause my culture is pretty sh**; let's go ! (long thread)

Old school first :
IAM : Before them french rap was seen by adults like a style "import" by america in our radio and just aggressive cause it's coooOOol you know ? groups like IAM and MCsolar (must listen too !) are the one who can watch all the old bourgeois in the 90's and say "I have culture, i can critic you with my lyrics and show you how you are dumb to judge my lifestyle"
cd: L'école du micro d'argent
fav tracks: le coté obscure de la force / petit frère

Suprême NTM : real gansta lyrics in the 90's with all the good (antifa) and bad (sexist as f***) of rap in this period of time. Big name here, "JoeyStarr" who is THE pro-ACAB in our country (we can listen and sing "nique la police" in street action when cops are next to us). When my mom would make a point about rap being "dangerous" she showed NTM
cd: suprème NTM
fav tracks: C'est arrivé près d'chez toi / nique la police /Laisse pas traîner ton fils

So this 2 are for the "historical part" of french rap, now you have to listen the rap who talk to me really. fast forward in 2010+ when I begin to feel more "liberal artists" than "son of rich alt-right"

next toot soon, stay tuned...

STUPEFLIP : Ok so we are here, stupeflip sound not like rap, do not promote rap, feel not like rap, but have fucking better lyrics and beat than all the rap I listen, You have to listen the entire CD A to Z with them cause they often cut the song between two sentences just for making mad the producers. So do I cause I hvae fuckin to much to say in 1 toot.
