This has nothing to do with skating.
French rap has now almost caught up with English language rap. Admittedly, catching up is not the same as overtaking, like in f1, in hiphop, and other things. Just ask china. Catching up was the easy part.
French rap used to be a 1985 american hiphop in 2005, but now it's 2014 hiphop in 2017. In other words, they're only as far behind as california.
I tried to listen to german hiphop when those homies were here, but I can't understand much. I like the idea of judging flow based on flow alone, but that got me into mc dragonface face, for a short time, before I realized he sucks.
the generation sauvage is like a collective reincarnation of certain american hiphop from the golden ages, over annoyingly trendy american style trap beats. when france has good rap and unique beats, they will have surpassed american hiphop.
and htey're starting to. some of these songs have less of a gwinnett county and more of a kinshasa style. I hope they can evolve away from their icy gwinnett beats and 25 year old tupacish delivery and do something new.
