Remarquant l'omniprésence du sujet « je » au sein des textes de rap, nous nous questionnons sur les diverses manières dont ce sujet peut être représenté, et le lien que peuvent entretenir ces représentations avec le succès toujours croissant de ce genre musical. Ainsi, nous observons dans un large corpus de morceaux des figures-types récurrentes, comme celle du rappeur fort, celle du rappeur engagé ou celle, qui tend à se répandre, d'un rappeur qui chercherait avant tout à se présenter comme « authentique ». Pour autant, loin d'établir une classification catégorique dans un genre où un artiste peut tour à tour vanter ses qualités d'écriture, avouer ses faiblesses et se faire porte-parole d'une jeunesse désœuvrée, il s'agit avant tout pour nous d'établir comment les rappeurs parviennent à se constituer un ethos spécifique tout en s'inscrivant dans une forme de tradition.

BANLIEUE VIOLENCE IN FRENCH RAP Schyler Chennault Department of French and Italian Master's Since its creation over two decades ago, French rap music has evolved to become both wildly popular and highly controversial. It has been the subject of legal debate because of its violent content, and accused of encouraging violent behavior.

  • Biographie Dj Djel.Pdf
    PRESSBOOK BIO Dj Djel aka Diamond Cutter est un Dj & Beatmaker originaire de Marseille (France), né à Belsunce, c’est dans ce quartier populaire du centre ville qu’il va découvrir le HIP-HOP dés 1989. A cette époque, les premiers b.boys (Akhenaton du groupe IAM, Faf La Rage, Boss One du 3eme Oeil...) se regroupent au Vieux-Port. A peine âgé de 15 ans, Dj Djel va s’essayer à toutes les disciplines de la culture HIPHOP, d’abord la danse et ses 1ères scènes, puis le graffiti, il réalise encore aujourd’hui la plupart de ses logos et visuels, et le rap, qu’il préfèrera rapidement laisser aux MC. Le son l’interesse et il mixe ses 1ers morceaux rap avec du matériel de récup. : une enceinte, une vieille platine maison, un lecteur K7 et l’ampli des potes. Fan des clips emblématiques de YO MTV RAP, il découvre le clip d’EPMD («Rampage» feat. L.L COOL J) où Dj Scratch balance des sonorités transformées sur un air musi- cal. C’est le déclic! Avec un peu d’économie et quelques petits business, il s’achète ses premiers vinyles. Il analyse tous les titres qu’il a sous la main et investit les techniques de deejaying. Son 1er collectif de rap est rapidement créé avec les Dj marseillais Dj Garet & Dr No : le «J.V.C Crew». C’est l’heure des 1ers mixes lors de soirées squats … A cette même période, il provoque avec Pone, concepteur musical & artiste graffiti, la rencontre des membres de son futur groupe: la Fonky Family.

  • The Quadrilingual Vocabulary of French Rap
    The Quadrilingual Vocabulary of French Rap Skye Paine, State University of New York, The College at Brockport Abstract1 Rap lyrics are a hybrid of improvised speech and carefully written poetry. As such, they offer many contradictions when submitted to linguistic analysis. They present two kinds of language that are often seen as antithetical when developing a corpus to be studied. The words the rappers utter are neither pure verse nor prose but instead, an imitation of speech set to music. This simulation of verbal communication betrays a meta-linguistic tendency and manifests a willful desire for symbolic speech. It is from this angle that the linguist must approach hip-hop music. It is not only what is said, but also how what is said represents the person who says it. The purpose of this study is to analyze the vocabulary of French rap and to deduce its greater symbolic meaning. I will show how the words chosen by the lyricists reflect the hybridization of society through a complicated mixture of four different kinds of linguistic utterances: standard French, French slang, American slang and the various langues de bled. Pour le résumé en français, voir la fin de l’article ***** Rap lyrics are a complicated hybrid of improvised speech and carefully written poetry. This is because some rhymes are unrehearsed “freestyles,” some are memorized before being recorded, and some are written down beforehand. As such, these lyrics offer many contradictions when submitted to linguistic analysis. They present two kinds of language that are often seen as antithetical when developing a corpus to be studied.
