Recently, I was introduced by a friend of a friend to the world of French hip hop. The vowel sounds are much richer, and the music a lot more orchestral and 'musical' than the British or US hiphop that I've heard. Also much more lyrically interesting (he translated some for me <g>). Perhaps an IDM / French hip hop collaboration project would be interesting.

Tho I haven't heard everything that MC Conrad has ever done...I heard a live hour-long set on the radio once before all the Bukem stuff, and he used exactly the same choice phrases as he did on the Bukem thang, and also on an Adam F track the name of which escapes me. Apologies if this is inaccurate...haven't listened to any Conrad material for about 3 years.
