DJ Terrapi from Bern, Switzerland, delivers a powerful mix of classic French rap — from underrated old-school gems to iconic tracks featured in the French film Taxi. The set highlights legendary sounds from Marseille that inspired countless European artists, along with Swiss hip-hop pioneers such as Sens Unik, Double Pact (Stress & Nega), and the Tru Comers from Biel, who redefined the boom bap sound in Central Europe.
Pour yourself a glass of bold red wine, sit back, and enjoy this deep dive into the history of French hip-hop.

Lived in Cameroon and Gabon in the 90's. MC Solaar was The Man, but one of many. Over 200 cassette tapes (…) of that period (all bought in the street from guys selling them from cardboard cartons, price negotiable). Interesting times.
Magnifique playlist. Ça fait plaisir ce mix dans ma langue. Je kif
The best rap ever, outside of USA.
Hip Hop conquers all language barriers
So happy with this 🤩

French rap is a cheap rebellion, it never has been and it never will be!
It's thug music with a villainous mentality that absolutely must be eradicated from the face of the Earth because it's the cancer of France!
And on top of that, this suburban subculture, infested with imposters and hypocritical predators with no historical awareness of the history of true American hip hop culture (otherwise there wouldn't be all this mess in France!), generates racist music filled with parasites, opportunists, and social climbers !
These parasitic, fake rebels (scum), these so-called wannabe rappers, are the useful idiots of this system, complicit in it because they contribute even more to dividing and overshadowing all the talented individuals who can be found among people of color (in any field, not just sports and music!), who, in my opinion, are most often the victims of injustice, racism, and discrimination !
These so-called rebels of the system fall into all the traps and flaws of the colonial legacy, perpetuating the work of the colonizer, which also imposes discrimination on other people of color because they are complicit in this perverse, deadly, hypocritical, opportunistic, social-climbing, selfish, racist, and satanic system! Even Alliance Ethnik was much more authentic !

All the proof you need that hip hop is universal
A really cool selection.
I listen to old rock and old metal, but also modern jazz.
However, French rap (and even Japanese rap) are really enjoyable to listen to. My apologies to fans of the genre if I don't know any of these songs .
Greetings from Sardinia, these days with a pleasantly warm climate
Au top la sélection ! ça fait plaisir !
Cool….but where is Starflam ? Belgium's finest french hip hop 😉
S/O DJ Terrapi / big ups 🔥💥
