My linguistic anthropologist professor showed this in our class as an example of code switching and questioning the elements used in both the English and the French verses that make them both a part of the same speech community, despite being different languages. My professor knows *the* classics.
He definitely is. He was one of our first lyricists. He studied litterature and philosophy in college while taking part to the first open mics/radio shows on the French hip hop scene. He also helped discover lots of other artists. I would compare him to Rakim.
Mc Solaar ❤ un des meilleurs pas seulement dans le rap français mais dans le monde entier. J'ai grandi en l'écoutant et me voilà à 32 ans. Le style, la voix, les liens.. jamais obsolète quoi ❤
Je te rejoins totalement .. le 501 possee (Jimmy jay solaar democrate D ...) était le seul groupe de rap français qui proposait cette rythmique jazz soûl à cette époque.
merci au duo Boom bass et Zdar que guru cite dans ses dedicaces a la fin de ce morceau, sans qui peut etre solaar n aurait jamais eu ce succes, qui est devenu le groupe cassius en passant du hip hop a la house et qui ont produit solaar dans ses premiers albums, les meilleurs , c est surement eux qui ont trouve ces instru jazz funk inconnu du grand public, je doute que solaar soit assez connaisseur. Rip Philippe Cerboneschi alias Zdar mort dans un tragique accident en 2019 et et Guru pionnier et legende du rap us qui n a jamais basculé dans le gangsta rap et dans le rap vulgaire.
2021 fière d’être français 🇫🇷 ce morceau à plus de 20 ans et mets en pls tous les pseudo rappeur de ces années en PLS… les mecs ont ouverts la porte du hip-hop marqué l’histoire et merci au revoir
Je devais avoir 13 ou 14ans qd ce son est sorti. C'etait enorme a l'epoque ce feat avec Gangstarr !!! Gangstarr c'est un monument du Hip hop et SOlaar et c'est un pilier du rap en france au meme titre que IAM, NTM, le sSages Po etc... !! Toujours autant de plaisir a ecouter ce son !!!
Il aura 30 ans en 2023... J'avais 15 piges quand ce son est sorti et par "nostalgie" ou parce que Solaar et Guru sont tellement forts dessus que ça mérite d'être encore écouté en 2022... RIP Mr Guru🙏
Blessed to be a teen in the mid-90s as hip-hop and urban fashion exploded world wide. GANGSTARR has always been my favorite group as this era was jam packed with talent. Countless tracks and albums are worth every penny!!!
man...first thing I ever attempted sampling was that loop at the end, on my old tape deck...this track impressed the heck out of me back then, and it stands the test of time...
I have not heard this song in 20 years. I had forgotten how good MC Solaar was. For non-French speakers: lyrically, he is lightyears ahead of the legendary Guru on this track. Never misses a rhyme, figures of speech everywhere and constantly metaphorical. Pure gold. Too bad the translation is off and doesn't show the true power of his words like "tender offer on misery" in the second verse. Using wallstreet financial terms to talk about human misery, brilliant
@@thegamingchef3304 You clearly don't speak French, let alone fluent enough to hear the harmonic and lyrical subtleties of the language. Lyrically, there is no comparison. Guru's lyrics were simple af. Practically no figures of speech.

French speaking sub-Saharan OGs combined with one of the mightiest of African American MCs, son. You don't get more UPN/Warner Bros./WB international NY1 as fuck than that, son.

WISE professer!
Ton professeur est super cool,ce morceau est terrible......salut de France l ami...
Strong example of the possibilities of unity through linguistics and shared culture, in this case hip-hop, and rap music, of course.
Guru is "the King Of Monotone". R.I.P.
Bad as jam!
King of Jazz Rap
I dont speak any french, but this guy sounds like he's spitting some super technical verses. Man is dropping gems and im pissed i dont understand 💔
He definitely is. He was one of our first lyricists. He studied litterature and philosophy in college while taking part to the first open mics/radio shows on the French hip hop scene. He also helped discover lots of other artists. I would compare him to Rakim.
Tu mens, You are a liar >@AAKVII But i understand...
The Guru collection can't be complete without this!
@Δημητρης Γουτας who guru or solaar?
😉👍🏾
Oui
@@anthonypetit7185 Both !
@hip-hoprapstorage4440 Mc Solaar has this western type beat, I think it samples from Bonnie and Clyde, the French song. It's dope
Was 16yo when it first came out (1993), and it's still dope 26 years later.
Real Music, RIP G.
I was only 3 years old, but still I enjoy this until today
@@baraejasny i was 6

Loved MC Solar since I was 17 n I’m 46 now (🤢) ❤
La belle et grande époque du Hip Hop...Ces morceaux qui mariaient rap et jazz...Je m'ennui de cette époque.

We really need more cross cultural collabs like this nowadays. The video is incredible!
There are a lot, only americans don’t do it, European and African hip hop nowadays is crazy
I would recommend ALI- wild side. From what I remember it’s Spanish, English, and mostly Japanese.
@@amensbuildingjourneythat sounds great. Do you recommend any?
Sans doute l'une des meilleures collaborations rap franco américaine.
This and Nas + NTM
Ah oui l 'une des plus belles de tous les temps
"L'air de rien je doute de l'existence des dieux, de l'existence du mieux dans un lieu plus pieux"

Love the difference of the lyristic playfullness of MC Solaar's rhymes vs the gangsta rap aggression of Guru's.
Rip Guru one of Boston’s Greats. He was a very intelligent Brother.
My middle school English teacher.
What a classic! RIP Guru
golden era of hiphop 👑
30 ans après ce son déchire toujours
AND MC Solaar the father of french Hip Hop, a true legend, one of the GOATS, period. Le meilleur des années 90 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don't even understand all the French, but his verbal skill is like listening to Rakim or GZA's Liquid Swords.

I love the rhythm 🎶 the music the lyrics and the over flow of lightening fast French rapper is Pure Genius 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
La voix de guru cest la bombe !!!!
peace from quebec

Such nostalgia!
Le rap 90s et l ambiance de ces années l esprit me manque terriblement 😥😥😥.mais on l a connu vécu !💪✊🤩🥰❤🙏
Back when hip hop was GREAT. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case since the mid-to-late 1990’s.
You mind recommending more songs from different artist?

Different Solar people. This is the French MC Solaar with two A's. Not the wack dude Solar who collaborated with Guru right before his death.
Lol... Solar the Superproducer 🤣 This guy has been one of the biggest fraud in the HipHop game.
Never understood how Guru could work with him...
Anyway, most of us will remember Gang Starr and Guru's Jazzmatazz.
French Solaar with two A
Deux maîtres à l'œuvre
Un tube longtemps influencé par Bob sinclar en personne tellement le son est puissant et Guru a bossé avec Bob
faut oser quand même de parler de Bob Sinclar sur une telle vidéo lol 😅
@@babysnoop84 et pourtant Guru et Bob étaient très proches et on produit des sons ensemble
@@mickaellavallee6586 d'accord je ne savais pas 😉

Damn , im 52 & miss 90's hip hop .......... todays shit suck !!!
