MC who and other musical tales
Ever since Funke posted MC Solaar's "Le belle et le bad boy" the other day, I've just beenobsessing over MC Solaar.
Les sous ensembles dans les grands ensemble, s'assemble. Le belle et le bad boy It's been stuck in my head for days!
Unfortunately the album Cinqueme As is no longer in circulation, and someone on Amazon wanted to sell it used for $75. No way! Since I don't have any kind of mp3 player, iTunes isn't really an option. i don't want to be tied to my computer to listen to an album. (Am I old-fashioned to want an album?)
I did preview Mach 6 at B&N last night, and I was favorably impressed. I love his use of words. French is a beautiful language to rap in, because it elides where English is more "choppy," for lack of a technical term. So much a literary genre as much as a musical one.
I liked "Jumelle." I feel like there was a fair amount of American influence in this one. (but like what do I know about rap?)
But I'm ALL OVER "T'inquiete"
It's amazing. It's so...dramatic.
In other music news. I'm thrilled to see Putumayo's Christmas in New Orleans.

That makes me so happy that you are obsessed, and yeah, I was really disappointed about Cinqueme As being largely unobtainable, too...I'll keep my eyes peeled. If I ever find a good deal on it, I'll give you a tip-off.
