I have no input to this thread that is really helpful, but I'd like to say French hip hop is great, since the country is a shithole. 
Some of the best turntablism and MC's come out of France, both rhyming in English and French.
Where's jdat when you need him.

Yeh, American rap is a joke now. I liked in the movie La Haine, when the DJ put his speakers out the windows and started scratching some dope ass shit, echoing it throughout the whole housing projects. :] Lots of French movies similar to La Haine feature great hiphop, due to the 'situation' in France, giving birth to movies and lots of hip hop.
A track you may want to check out is called NTM featuring Cut Killer - Nique la Police, which was the track featured during the DJ part in La Haine. I'll put a sample up shortly.

Here is a sample. You'll be able to pick out some American samples in it. :]
Right Click, Save As!
Another movie like La Haine is 'Comme un Aimant', which also has a very good soundtrack.
Both of you seem to have a good knowledge about french society 
and I didn't know movies like La Haine were known outside the country

sEpH is right, it's a sample from KRS-One, aswell as a sample from Supreme NTM.
Supreme NTM is a dope ass group from France, really good stuff.
About the movie La Haine, I found something out really neat. If you've seen it, you'll remember when Cut Killer was mixing in the projects out a window. They used a remote control helicopter to film, which made it appear as if the camera was floating. Great use of primitive technology. Really good movie. Mathieu Kassovitz is a real good director. Also, a bad-ass oldskool track they featured in the movie was Zapp and Roger - More Bounce To The Ounce. It was featured during a scene where they were in the lobby of a housing project and there was a boombox going and some kids were breakdancing really good. Fucking awsome movie. The French hiphop scene is so pure, unlike the commercial American bullshit.
NIQUE LA POLICE!
Anyone mention Saian Supa Crew yet?
Yeah Saian supa crew are insane!! very unique and unusal style, i love them, i got their 2 dics.

well most groups you guys are mentionning are what would be considered commercial now.
but it's not to discredit the fact that yes they've done great things like IAM, Mc Solaar ( he was a master at working samples ), Assassin ( they're insane in the studio laying a 32 track of samples mix )
It's kinda sucky right now and very commercial no doubt.

Putain j'y crois pas, les cailleras de TA.fr regarde moi le
Il y a Ben qui joue dedans en plus:
Benjamin POOOOOOWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise MC.Solaar is a pure wizard of the words, He wrote superb songs, It's for me the best Artist in this style of music!!
Solaar pleure,
Qui s�me le vent r�colte le tempo,
Armand est mort,
Hasta La Vista,
etc......
Great

I went to France this summer and on their "rap/r&b" radio Station (Skyrock) they've only played VERY commercial shits like Usher, Black eyed peas, Beyonce etc.. and their french rap was like some cheesy/sucky french R and B... IMO french rap is dead (for some years!) |
You're right about the music turning somewhat commerical, look at Cut Killer's mixes, nothing but commercial r'n b and rap, but hes still a great DJ and turntablist, despite what he plays. The is only dead if you look at the commercial side of it. Compare American MTV shit to say a very underground independant label like Definitive Jux, allthough they're getting commercial. If you pay attention to the mainstream, it's all you're gunna hear.
If you wanna other artists , check 'Psy4 De La Rue' or 'Sniper' , lot of my friends who like rap told me they are very great rappers
