french hiphop help!

there are no accidents
anyone in the know about freedom-hiphop here is a massive rapidshare folder full of things unbeknownst to me and in desperate need of knowledge/recommendations!!!

only names i know are

Akhenaton - great mid east samples but the monotonous and always the same non-flow really is often unlistenable

IAM - celebrated group... kind of like NYC 1995 sound... nothing that jumps out at me though

and i grabbed the URBAN RAI collection cuz that just sounds WIKKID. let's hope it is!

cant see the list cos my work blocks "private homepages" But if theres anything by, ROHFF, Assassin, Sniper (poppy but fun), Scred Connexion (again poppy),

Supreme NTM (late 80's get Paris Sous les Bombes),

and as for IAM get L'ecole du micro d'argent,

LIM (proper gangsta french rap) get the album Double Violence Urbaine

they'd all come highly recommended


oh and 113 are sick - get Les Princes de la Rue
i really like the Alliance Ethnik album Fat Come Back - quite fun
Neochrom are sick actually - just remembered

never heard any saian supa but people keep going on about them for some reason

i really like menage a trois - they're a bit like neochrome with squeaky rapping - they're all from senegal or somewhere

oh yeah of course get Fonky Family - Si Dieu Veut or Art de Rue and the brilliant Live au dome de Marseilles

those are just off the top of my head, will have a look at the list when i get home


some of the compilations can be quite good - like Niroshima or HLM

Diziz la Peste isnt bad but a bit amateurish - Axiom is a good newcomer, very muslim


this is a great website for names and lyrics and stuff

sorry, got carried away - back to work now

I'm no expert in this by any means, but I seem to remember Saian Supa crew being pretty good a few years back.

...and the soundtrack to La Haine maybe? Always fancied getting a copy of that myself, absolutely belting film.

haha it's not my mix mate, by some dude called Totomaster - I just DLed it a while back and mirrored it on megaupload. Do share it though, it's great. I'm a big fan of French HH cos of the way they sample - a slight taste for the dramatic in places.
