I find foreign hip-hop interesting because it lets you 'hear through' the words to the pure rhythmic and "rhymic" aspects of the spoken word. This guy (20syl) has a real ear as a producer, plus smooth rhymes (pardon his French!).

Ah, it would have been such a great track if they had better backing vocals. Luckily the producer also makes a track under his "Bastian" pseudonym from time to time.

Back on those old, rare, vintage grooves.
I like my music like my keyboards, it seems…

Mu, when I hear those tracks I just can't help but think of their sampling potential.

I was looking for the name of that song just a few days ago! What a convenient coincidence.

lol, just performed Beethoven's Ninth this week, unfortunately I think we missed our chance to try this out there.

Beethoven played by Kempff. Nothing in human history beats that, except perhaps Beethoven played by Beethoven.
