La Fouine returns in very big form with Capitale du Crime Censored, our critic of the mixtape

While La Fouine has just released Capitale Du Crime Censure, what is the value of this new mixtape? Find out now our opinion.
For the youngest of you, La Fouine, it is especially the guy who is in clash with Booba, to whom he is still violently attacked in the piece Give me my pennies. But besides that, La Fouine is also and above all one of the pillars of French rap: 15 years of career, classics with the shovel, hundreds of thousands of albums sold … Back in the boxes l Last year with New World , an album with pop sounds and positive speech, this new opus did not really find its audience, and made a flop in the charts. Far from being confessed to be beaten, the Yvelines rapper put up the sleeves of his lumberjack shirt, cut his goatee, and decided to return in hardcore mode for his new mixtape, Censored Crime Capital , which came out yesterday. So what’s the value of this new 18-track record? After bled it up and down, here’s what we think.
You have spat on La Fouine in the comments of his clips? You told him it was over for him, and he should stop raping? A big thank you to you, the rageous of the net: while some would have dropped everything, he, on the contrary, it boosted. If we were to draw a parallel with football, which CDCC is filled with, a little like a Zlatan Ibrahimovic, all this hatred has made it stronger. Well, ok, it’s kind of counter-psychological, but that’s definitely what must have happened in his mind: determined to prove to everyone that it was far from finished, in CDCC we The right to very good La Fouine, like the RS4 track, which he released the clip a few weeks ago. Flow, punchlines, choruses ….
The return to the hardcore certainly did him much good: more at ease in this register than in the urban pop of New World , it seems easier for him to describe the vices of this world with full of words that of To put forward its good sides with a chastened language. Musically, too, we feel an evolution between these two projects: whereas last year he discovered trap and Afro-trap, resulting in titles like “Terminus” where he clearly copied Young Thug, we feel that for CDCC , He knew how to digest the different musical trends of the current rap to make his own sauce, like the afro-trap hardcore of “Chargé”, La Fouine unveiled the clip in February.
CDCC stands out clearly in two parts: a first edgy, and a second, from track 11 “Maclaren” , where it always rappers as hard but on soft prods, on which it is heard quite use the ” Auto-tune (which he masters by ailleusr very well). This second part is also the most successful in our eyes: this is where he trusts the most, and where there are the best pieces of the mixtape, like the great “bunk beds” , Title on which he is in feat with his brother Canardo. In the end, it is not known if this mixtape will allow La Fouine to make more noise than Booba, which will also be back in the bins this year. CDCC is perhaps missing a real big banger that stands out from other titles. And after the commercial failure of New World , rap listeners are going to be hard to regain. But with this mixtape, La Fouine shows us all the same that he is back in very great shape, and that he can still be very strong when he wants. Very soon. And you, what did you think of Capital of Crime Censored, La Fouine’s new mixtape? He can still be very strong when he wants to. Very soon.
