Sup! sup!! sup!!! Just your boy BBC checking up on you kids. Today is going to be another francophone fest. A lot of people are coming up to me in the streets of centertown going like "Big Baby, I love the blog yo! You holding it down! But like me and a lot of girls out there think the shit you post is too hard. We need that pussy indie shit to request at Zaphod's on friday nights". So this goes out to my american apparel legging as pants slut patrol making sure awkard douchebags get fucked on the weekly.
Now I'm kind of late on this one but BONJOUR BRUMAIRE. The band that Coeur de pirate used to play keyboard in. What makes these guys go into the next level of hipster douche is that they are mainly anglophones singing in French to be more artistic I guess. I'm not sure what I hate more the band or the fact that I like this band. This song is called BROOKLYN and it's about w-burgh jacking some of MTL's steeze.
Next up is a dude I saw a bunch of times XAVIER CAFEINE. This might sound shallow but whatever. I think his music is good however if he changed his look and his name it could be pretty popular with the English world. Anyways I never listened to a full album but at the community center out in the suburbs that I work at, his biggest hit is like the only song I can stand on the cds we have. So I put this track, MONTRÉAL (CETTE VILLE), on repeat. The shit is catchy and it oozes of white Montréal.
Finally I apologize to my legging girls out there but fuck a kid like big baby don't know how else to be but hard. SANS PRESSION - JOE B.G. R.I.P. A tribute song to his hypeman. Probably the most known hypeman in francophone hip hop. He tragically died in a fire in east Montréal a week before his first solo album came out. The building was an old one that are notorious of burning really badly. His mom was my sister's landlord in St-Henri. This was really sad. Warning this is a shitty youtube fan video but the song is worth it.
BONUS BIGGIE MATERIAL. The Unbelievable mixtape is nuts GET IT. To wet your appetite I have embedded a streamable and downloadable version. My current jam I can't get enough of is track 20 ESCAPE FROM NY feat prodigy form mobb deep. Worth the check out if you like hip hop.

To a new paradise
Man late edition. I got my haircut tonight my mullet is gone as well as 5 pounds of hair. This evening I go all franco on your asses. Common theme is Montréal but with one clip from Marseilles because they could not be ignored.
Number one. Today's weather was pure will smith summertime. A rarity in Ottawa this so called summer. So I wanted to throw you a summer jam from the 514-450. Granted it came out in May 2007 but the video is just TOO good. Hell even rival blogger Perez Hilton featured them which is pretty cool (no homo). OMNIKROM TROP BANANE. Listen carefully and you will hear a Mr Freeze reference, the ultimate summer snack.
Number two. Another electro rap/ synth pop song from MTL. NUMÉRO # the song is called HIT POP (maybe what electro rap should be called?). The singer is from France but the DJ is from Montréal. They operate in Québec. Pretty rad song so even if it didn't have a video I put it on.
Number three. We get into Mount REAL shit, REAL CITY WHAT. Into french rap proper, none of this electro shit. My favorite francophone rapper of all time SANS PRESSION. He's my second favorite rapper after Biggie. That's saying a lot coming from a head like me. Sans Pression rhymes like a lot of kids at my school spoke. It's a dialect that many francos couldn't understand. He always had a huge place in our cd players. Anyways the song is NUMÉRO 1. The video features pro mma fighters and boxers from Québec. The best "Canadian" fighters are french. GSP came out to this song in his last title defense. Also French rappers in Canada sell more records than English-Canadian rappers (sorry kardinal). Which proves my theory I developed in Toronto, WE AIN'T WHITE, WE FRENCH. He also shout outs the Democratic Republic of Congo in this song... Heavy.
Man I can't even call this bonus cause it's so good. These guys are the ones that exploded French rap. Chuck D told me France was the second country of hip hop. Mc Solaar was the originator but IAM took it to the next level. A big time crew from Marseilles, a tough as nails city where they speak with a messed up accent. These guys came out with a song that featured WU TANG. It made kids "go shit, Wu Tang is rapping alongside french dudes." It really validated the language for me. Anyways this was a really long time ago and French rap is huge now. This guy Booba is ultra popular, he's a parisian 50 cent. K-maro is like a Lebanese usher. It got REAL commercial (the electro shit is a breath of fresh air yet it's also poked at in this song). IAM came out recently with a song called COUPE LE CAKE. The video is hilarious and they really don't take themselves seriously but they are telling these kids "we gave this to you, we gave you a piece of the cake. Remember that we were wolves and you are being kitty cats and it's time that you make an effort for the younger generations." Wow I spoke too much, you HAVE to watch this video!
