| 3.8 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | August 4th 20 |
2nd wave Marseille rap - 'cause yeah Marseille rap can also be defined by waves. In 1997, IAM released their third album L'Ecole du Micro d'Argent and helped cementing Marseille's place as the second French rap city. The same year came out Fonky Family's first record, keeping IAM's melancholy but letting go of humour - replaced by irreverence. The record is indeed very serious, full of social commentaries and call to shake up the established order. What's interesting is that the beats, full of scratches and languid soul samples, alternate between bangers made to document an insurgent strike, and lugubrious shit to spit your disgust to the rulers' faces. Of course the record is way too long - 71 minutes - and the beats and themes seem rehashed passed the 50 minute mark, but the angriness and crisp beats are just so gripping.
