No, course I'll download it. I just keep forgetting to .

You know, this video makes me laugh and feel shame at the same time

It's funny, I didn't remember this side of Ken. I must said, it's so old that I barely remember watching it :-)

[goldb]

Ken le Survivant was one of the series I grew up watching, they had to dub it down so it could be suitable for French kids TV. Chevaliers du Zodiaque was another, Nicky Larson, L'ecole de Champions, Olive et Tom, Ranma 1/2, etc Childhood tv was so awesome!

A few songs that are very dear to my heart (my apologies for the many french songs to those who won't understand the lyrics) :

Fabe - Quand j'serai grand


Fonky Family - Si je les avais écoutés


Indo Aminata & Fugees - Love will be on your side


Iam - Demain c'est loin


KDD - Orange mécanique


La Brigade - La yerpri


MC Solaar - Solaar pleure


New African Poets - Au revoir à jamais


Don Mike - Prudencia

P.S. goldb, please don't forget what the decisive factor was. If you're willing to, you are always more than welcome.

Love MC Solaar, Disiz and IAM. IAM are my favourite french artists; such good lyricists. Saian Supa Krew are also one of my favourites, I'm really into old school music and some french rappers seem to be very good at keeping rap old school and simply about lyrical content. Booba is the exception as he's very US-like but I love his tracks from a few years ago.

What decisive factor???

Yupyup, Iam are by far my favourite french rap artists too, I listened to the "L'école du micro d'Argent" album all day long, at the end of the 20th century.
I really enjoy Saian Supa Crew as well, mostly good vibes in their songs.
Concerning Booba, imho, he lost his appeal when he changed his flow and started spouting (almost) complete crap. That started happening between 2004~2006, if I recall well. As you say, he's very US-like now. I really liked what he did with Ali in Lunatic though, and I must admit that I listened to the album "Temps Mort" a lot back in 2002~2003.

What decisive factor???

Oh noes ! I don't know how to reply, and how to understand the confused smiley, since you posted a couple of songs (thanks ), but in case you really don't remember :

Now I can start posting those congolese music recommendations you wanted in here.

Hehe, that was the decisive factor for this thread's creation

Do you like Grand Corps Malade ? I was surprised when my mother said she likes it... I know he has good critics but I have not really listen to him yet.

[Ancy]

how is my weird FF fella doing?

btw..I know that you read the awkward silence comments..but u don't post there...

in the awkward thread??

ps: your weirdness will be very much appreciated

[Teubier]

Do you like Grand Corps Malade ? I was surprised when my mother said she likes it... I know he has good critics but I have not really listen to him yet.

I can't say that I like him, all of him, since I only listened to the "Midi 20" album back in 2006. However, I really liked this album (particularly Chercheur de phases), and GCM is a pretty good lyricist imho.

Lui il a traversé tout le pays pour atteindre le Grand Ouest
Equipé d'un vieux fute, d'un gros sac et d'une veste
Il se prend pour un aventurier, à raison ou à tort
Il est parmi tant d'autre un simple chercheur d'or
Il retourne toutes les rivières en secouant son tamis
Il traque la moindre lueur, il en rêve même la nuit
Il soulève chaque caillou pour voir ce qu'il y a en dessous
Il lui arrive même de chercher jusqu'à s'en rendre saoul
Il ausculte tous les grains de sable pour dénicher la pépite
Il sait prendre son temps, ne jamais aller trop vite
Quand il rentres chez lui, je te jure qu'il cherche encore
Ses yeux sont des radars, c'est un vrai chercheur d'or
Ca lui a pris un beau jour en voyant les autres partir
Il s'est dit pourquoi pas moi, je pourrai peut-être m'enrichir
Et puis parcourir le monde avec son sac à dos
C'est peut-être au bout du compte le plus beau des cadeaux
Quand il trouve un peu d'or, pour lui plus rien n'existe
Il ne voit plus, n'entend plus, il est comme un autiste
Alors il en veut plus, il chercherait jusqu'à sa mort
Il est parmi tant d'autre un simple chercheur d'or

Moi j'ai traversé toute la pièce pour atteindre mon petit bureau
Equipé de ma main droite, une feuille et un stylo
Je me prends pour un poète, p't'être un vrai, p't'être un naze
Je suis parmi tant d'autres un simple chercheur de phases
Je retourne toutes les phrases en secouant mon esprit
Je traque la moindre rime et j'en rêve même la nuit
Je soulève chaque syllabe pour voir ce qu'il y a en dessous
Il m'arrive même de chercher jusqu'à m'en rendre saoul
J'ausculte tous les mots pour dénicher la bonne terminaison
Je sais prendre mon temps, la patience guide ma raison
Même quand je sors de chez moi, je profite de la moindre occaz
Pour pécho de l'inspiration, j'suis un chercheur de phases
Ca m'a pris petit à petit en voyant les autres écrire
J'me suis dit poser mes textes, ça pourrait me faire plaisir
Et puis trouver le bon mot et le mettre à la bonne place
C'est peut-être ça le plus kiffant, la bonne rime efficace
Quand je trouve une bonne phase, pour moi plus rien n'existe
Je ne vois plus, n'entend plus, je suis comme un autiste
Alors j'en veux plus, je veux qu'on se souvienne de mon blaze
Je suis parmi tant d'autres, un simple chercheur de phases

Son Grand Ouest, c'est mon petit bureau, t'as vu le parallèle frérot
Et si tu pars à Lille, t'es zéro, car ça se passe là dans ton petit bistrot
Moi je fais le pari que tu te tapes des barres dans tous les bars de Paris
Mais si tu ris pas et que tu te barres dans ta barre, oublie mon pari
Car si je viens juste dire des mots, tu peux pas me maudire
Même si je fais ni du Rimbaud ni du Shakespeare, j'sais qu'y a pire
Je te jure, respire ! Je pourrais faire du Britney Spears
Te faire kiffer toi même tu sais que c'est à ça que j'aspire
Moi je veux écrire des tas de phases et te les sortir avec un bon phrasé
Je veux t'envahir de phrases quitte à ce que tu te sentes déphasé
C'est pas avec des jeux de mots que je vais pouvoir dire que je pèse
Encore moins que je vais pouvoir pécho Jennifer Lopez
Mais si tu m'écoutes, c'est déjà une victoire
Et coûte que coûte, je ferai tout pour faire kiffer mon auditoire
Et même si ce texte, c'est pas encore l'extase
T'auras compris le contexte, j'suis un chercheur de phases.

Ken le Survivant was one of the series I grew up watching, they had to dub it down so it could be suitable for French kids TV. Chevaliers du Zodiaque was another, Nicky Larson, L'ecole de Champions, Olive et Tom, Ranma 1/2, etc Childhood tv was so awesome!

Oh man, I feel nostalgic now.
Awesome french version opening of City Hunter (Nicky Larson) :

Top notch lyrics.

Ranma 1/2, well I would admit that I like this opening one only because I grew up with it. I'm not sure I 'd appreciate if I discovered it just now. :



Dragon Ball Z, strong nostalgic feelings, even if the japanese opening was waaaaaaaay better :

I'd understand if anyone gets : if he discovers it now.

[Teubier]

"Un coup de feu qui retentit, la justice s'appelle Nicky" I like the long opening more though. Why wouldn't they put it for every episode back then...

I'd understand if anyone gets : if he discovers it now.

Ahahah, indeed.

Oh man, I feel nostalgic now.

It's infectious. ~

Dans la chaleur de la nuit, le mal est toujours puni. Aucun danger ne l'impressione... Even 15 years after, I still remember the chorus lyrics by heart, that's quite scary

The French generics were great before Club Dorothée animators trust them all. It's quite funny, that when Minet says Ranma un demi, I hear the generic of Bioman...
I don't know if you guys know about coucoucircus, unfortunatly I learn about it only after its problem with the SACEM. That's quite sad because the guy does a great job. That's where you see that music enterprise are really stupid

[Evil3ye]

Soooo... whatcha favourite song/LP/artist at the moment?

And besides like 'mon cherie' how else could one call his sweetheart in French?

[Teubier]

^ That would be "Mon Chéri" addressed to a male, and "Ma chérie" addressed to a female. "Mon Chéri" is already pretty nice, "Mon Amour" (for both female & male) is too, and my favourite is "Ma chère et tendre"=female / "Mon cher et tendre"=male (it fits better an already well established relationship though). "Mon dulciné / Ma dulcinée" is poetic but might be a little too much

Dans la chaleur de la nuit, le mal est toujours puni. Aucun danger ne l'impressione... Even 15 years after, I still remember the chorus lyrics by heart, that's quite scary

Not it's not, it's pure bliss

Agreed. It's a real sanctuary for our childhood, the last quote in the article from Benoît is very accurate.

Soooo... whatcha favourite song/LP/artist at the moment?

I don't really have one. I discover between 200 and 500 new songs each week, but I do have a permanent playlist that I listen to everytime I go out. Within this playlist, the three artists from whom I chose the most songs are Susumu Hirasawa, Nujabes and Jan Hammer (Miami Vice ).

[k-dom]

And besides like 'mon cherie' how else could one call his sweetheart in French?

Mon coeur, mon amour, mon amour mon coeur...

Coucou qu' est ce que tu fais mon coeur ?
La même chose qu' y a une demie heure
J' t' ai appelé y à cinq minutes mon ange
Mais ça répondait pas... Alors je m' inquiétais
Alors, j' t' ai rappelé, pour la douzième fois de la journée
En niquant tout mon forfait
Mais qu' est ce que tu fais mon adoré ?
Ouais je sais on se voit après
Bon t 'embrasse fort mon bébé j' t' embrasse fort fort fort
Non c' est toi qui raccroche
Non c' est toi non c' est toi qui raccroche
Non c'est toi non c'est toi c'est toi
Bon j' te rappelle
