i never really understood booba, how people see him, his position and why hes seemingly on top in french rap for such a long time. one thangs obvious: his music is fuckin dope. allways loved it. still he sounded like the hardest mutherfucker out there, seems to talk the talk, and then you hear about him being born rich and known to be not that gutter. not that that wouldnt happen with every famous rapper, but i seemed widely accepted, in a rap scene that seems to be the most authentic. perhaps they just sound authentic, i hardly understand the lyrics so understanding the scene is even harder.





another thing: since i’ve allways seen booba as the blueprint for bushido, and with him the whole german streetrap culture, i allways thaught booba had to be representin french street style to the fullest. wearin their clothes, speakin their slang. in a rap scene that seems to be the most authentic… then you see booba promoting his grillz^^ saw that in paris, didnt make sense to me.

on another note: today sefyu is even doper to me than booba , still when i met him, he and his boys were real kool but not half as hard and gudda as they seemed on stage and record. perhaps its the same in every country, it just sounds different. most important, sefyu got wise things to say (somebody translated…) but ey, i dont understand frenchs rap scene, somebody explain it.

so, using my new take on french rap its not too surprising to have mister french gangster rap use techno sounds and auto tune these days.

Booba – Illegal [Video]

(the video is not on youtube etc until now)

this is his new video. i preferred the older stuff that sounded like a trip through the banlieu. sefyus überalbum sounded better when it wasnt jockin the states, too. still i dont expect booba to do more in that direction, guess hes just pickin up the trend for a single and thats that.
