Here are a few mp3s of french hip hop since we talked about it:

Kinda of our version of a a highly political Beastie Boys

Very good stuff but this is like 6 years old but at the time this was revolutionnary in term of Quebec hip hop (because we barely had any)

A few white guys rapping as robots from outer space, funny and sometimes good.


MC Solaar, IAM and a bunch of other french artists are good but I can't link up because I don't have flash at work.

TTC is perhaps the most innovative french-speaking hip hop artists right now but I can't find mp3s.
 
I heard one TTC song and the beat was insane.

I'm totally gonna check them out more, even though I generally have a problem getting into non-english hip hop.
 
Yeah, TTC are pretty awesome. I don't have any CD but I hear them on the college radios all the time. If TTC weren't French they would have the same impact on hip hop as all the Crunk in the past few years and the whole Lady Sovereign/MIA thing right now...

speaking of and by the way are you guys all versed on the awesome swedish hiphop avi was promoting here? both are up for swede grammys - timbuktu is up for like five, looptroop for one. they kicked serious ass live, and i liked them already from their music videos in sweden.

there's this guy Sin, a Serbian dude from Canada who puts out these Sizzerb Mixtape's but he's kinda whack. He actually has a mixtape with most of Dipset on it and there was rumors of them signing him, but still..he's like a lame fake ghetto white dude with a shotty accent.

two cool Serbian hip hop artists are Bad Copy and Marchelo, but mostly for lyrical content, not the beats, so you probably won't get a lot for listening to them.
