Bear with me folks (or is it bare with me?), I'm trying something new with this entry. You might've noticed the nice little SoundCloud mp3 clip at the bottom of this entry. That's right folks, I'm breaking my new single! It's called "French Rapper's Delight." I kid, I kid. It's actually my first podcast. I'm very new at this medium so please consider, that from here, I can only go up. Today's topic of discussion: origins of the French Hip Hop scene and its brightest star MC Solaar.
I realize that I forgot to mention that the intro music for the podcast, in case you didn't catch it, was MC Solaar's debut single "Bouge de la" which more or less means "Move on" or "Get out of here." For more on Solaar, check out his extensive bio on RFI Musique. Additionally, here's more background on the actions taken against French rappers following the 2005 riots.
