Shay protected from Booba, what place for women in the rap fr?
If Shay managed to impose his style with his first album Jolie Garce, where are the French women in the world of rap today?
Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Missy Elliott and so many others before them. They are pioneers of the new American rap today. The new generation of US rappers filled stadiums and hurt in the rankings at the middle bad boys. But if across the Atlantic, the flow of these ladies echo everywhere, in France, women find it difficult to break through and make their voices heard . At the top of the ranking top albums this week, NLP, Nekfeu or even Jul have been squatting for weeks . Nevertheless, pretty talented chicks try to break through as much as possible in this medium a bit macho. Everything had started so well in the 1990s. On the compilation RapAttitude was the rappeuse Saliha with her tube “Children of the ghetto” . But finally, his career will never take off despite two albums. Sté Strausz is also a girl known for having inflamed rap with her flow and her punchlines percutantes. Yet it will not hold either.
It will be necessary to wait until the beginning of the years 2000 to see appear STAR never equaled since, Diam’s . With her album Brut de Femme , ranked number one in sales for weeks and winning an award at the Victoires de la Musique in 2004, the new song bomb caused a sensation. In 2007, her album Dans ma bulle is certified diamond disk, an incredible journey for a young woman who suffered in her youth from the absence of a father and who stopped school in third. But her demons will soon catch up and Mélanie Georgiades, her real name, will retire from the record industry in 2012 to live a normal life withdrawn from the showbiz. Meanwhile, Princess Aniès will attempt a breakthrough with “If I was a man” in 2002, without much success. From now on, we talk a little about Sianna, who knows the glory with “So goes life” in 2014 but especially of Shay, the little protégé of Booba, who got her out of all his nonsense.
On December 2, 2016, Shay released his first album Jolie Garce after dazzling success on YouTube. The young Belgian who has Congolese origins did not always have the pink life that one can imagine without his clips. Featuring unsavory people, she will make some mistakes in her youth before returning to the right path thanks to the B2o, who will receive a model in his office through a common friend. In 2011, it invites him on his title “Cruella” . Inspired by Rick Ross or Young Jeezy, the one now compared to Nicki Minaj now counts more than 40 million views on his clips . After “XCII” , “1200” or “PMW” , his last single “Cabeza” wreaks havoc on the radio. Now it is signed with 92i, the label of Booba, whose clashes could serve his career . Hopefully she will survive and be one of the first women to win in this rap jungle. Do you think women have their place in the rap community in France?
