*For hip hop, it’s not all about the gangsta look, alright!!!
But, I’m for the real hip hop style as well as real music.

(I’m the only one who asked this question so far!)

I occasionally listen to my local hip hop station. I don’t care for most the new stuff but they have a couple of hours where they play some old school and some funk too. After this, though, comes an hour where they play some (to me) strange stuff… it sounds like rap (gangsta?) but it’s been slowed down. I thought it was called crunk but someone told me that crunk is something different (more clubby).

Can anyone help me idenify this?

I’m interested in learning more about French hip-hop. Where should I start? 3

It may help to know that I deplore hip-hop that focuses on the “pleasures” of capitalism and mindless fornication. I prefer to listen to hip-hop that is revolutionary, gangsta, poignant, and/or just plain fun. For instance, some of my favorite hip-hop artists include Public Enemy, Run DMC, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Eminem, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Dead Prez, Kanye West, Ice Cube, etc.

What has brought my attention to French hip-hop is how fluid and elegant it sounds due to the infusion of the wonderful language and the mechanics of the genre. Hopefully, french hip-hop has plenty of the nuances I admire about the genre in the U.S.
