david	Only just got round to listening to this. You're right Giles, French rap does overall have a more positive and uplifting message/attitude than much US rap. I like this, very catchy.
giles2008	Had nearly three million hits too. Double the number that Agnes had the week before she made the chart. Rap in another language is strangely interesting. Try this one JK. Found it in South Africa a couple of years ago. Another irrisistable hook.
JK2006	Another nudge - check this out.
JK2006	Thanks Giles - no other comments? I'd have thought Michael would adore this. I absolutely love it.
giles2008	Agree totally it should be a hit . French rap seems to be without the naff attitude of the American stuff.Less macho posturing. How would you get over the language barrier to make this a hit cos with an english lyric it would ruin the song? Its like Rammstein, Its not the same when they sing in English. The British seem to be a bit resistant to foreign language songs unless they are by Ladysmith Black Mambazo or Enyas Gaelic warbling. Certainly as far as the charts are concerned if the artiste is big enough then it wouldnt be a problem, Celine Dions wonderful French songs being a case in point. But to break a new singer WITHOUT doing English versions surely must be difficult.
