The music industry through the eyes of a French rapper

Dope video but seriously playing the cliche of secret society at the record label level. Nice gimmick but been played to hell already.

The thing with rap is the music zeros in on such a small % of music listeners. Pretty much young black kids who will out grow it.

How many blacks in France?

My thing with rap is they try too hard to peddle vulgarity, ***, a life nobody really lives. And when it comes to real talent so many of those cats just don't have any. Stack them up vs a bluegrass band and they'd get crushed, if talking musical talent.

How low France fell vs the future they could have had.So depressing.

Maybe it's more than just a gimmick if you keep seeing it over and over again, in different parts of the world too.

And not just in the music industry. I don't know why a banker would need to have a gimmick? Let alone this particular one.

Bro, look at my profile. I made my living in that industry and by in it I don�t mean working at a label..I mean living it in the flesh in studios, clubs, tours, etc. most musicians are too fking ****** to be part of a secret society and not talk about it openly. The only parts of this video that are legit is the being praised, showered with ***elry and cash and cars..all of which you�ll be charged for with massive interest rates. Managers keep musicians drugged up to the cusp of not quite a junkie but still functional enough to let you handle shh for them.

Its better than the **** here in America. I cant understand either of them.

Hip hop is dead. Snoop 2pac Biggie NWA DMX Ying Yang days were the last of the Hip Hop era. Its Total garbage now.

A rapper just had a country hit. Rap has crossed over like arguable any music ever. So many genres steer into hip hop these days not niche at all.
