Listen to Nico! Shes not french but there are obvious influences

Never fails to get LALA LALALA LALA LALALA!

PNL, Sch, Booba, Lunatic, Orties for some French hip hop
Mendelson for some experimental rock
Christine and the Queens for some alt pop
Philippe Katerine, Camille for some chanson française

also this

essential if you ask me

Litérallement qui?

Forgot Sébastien Tellier, Klub des Loosers, Kaaris and Christophe

Magma

Do you have a link to the Graal record? Can't find it on SS...

yann tiersen is some essential french-core

This is the best we have.
Though if you liked try to dig this youtube.com/user/panrecord

the arcade fires. Un anee sans lumierre, haiti, and almost 2 other songs

we even have memerap: youtube.com/watch?v=Egzwd3PMgr8

Good luck, OP. How far along are you? I've been learning it for a while myself and hope to go abroad soon.

That's good shit. Also, check out Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Emmanuelle Parrenin, Gabriel Yacoub, and Malicorne.

Stupeflip
youtube.com/watch?v=kH2cb90sL9o

Nobody mentioned Serge Gainsbourg wtf

isnt daft punk lé french'
i think die antwoord was african

Booba

Don't listen to him. They suck OP.
Listen to this instead :
Nonstop - Road movie en béquilles
youtube.com/watch?v=SCYA9FLlMUw

IAM

youtube.com/watch?v=x4uHgwHdXOA

Can't recall Daft Punk making a song with a french singer so if you wanna learn the language it's pretty useless

Listen to Diabologum if you're into low-fi indie rock, La Rumeur and Kenny Akrana+ the other french rappers that have already been mentioned OP

Most people dislike him because he's untalented and hides behind his pseudo-edgy lyrics

Very good contemporary artists who also speak rather slowly:

nice thread, I don't know if we can propose more rap?

Well I like his stories so u can suck a dick m9.

>SCH
PNL en moins bien

>PNL, SCH, Booba
Listen to stupeflip or la secte phonétique instead, those 3 "artists" are absolute garbage

you must be 18 or older to post here, nu-male

Take it easy, I wanted to say there are much better rapper than PNL and SCH. IAM for example may be old, but it's gold.

each his own. For me, too many people listen to PNL, SCH and Booba and I do not recognize myself in their public despite my 19 years. What is the best album of booba?

Can't believe nobody mentioned Jacques Brel - should be the most obvious suggestion. His lyrics are ridiculously clever, but as someone whose French is awful, I can still enjoy his music even when I don't understand any of it.

Air

Temps Mort (as posted previously) is an absolute classic
his recent hits are bangers too if you're looking for fun trap

PNL has god-tier beats and ambience, i don't really care about the lyrics in this kind of hip-hop, but for mainstream rap Le Monde Chico is really well thought, music-wise at least

Never cared too much for SCH

Brel's not french.

Grand blanc
youtu.be/krCdav63R8I

As long as you don't listen to JUL you're a good guy.

stereolab

Jul has banger tracks as well, can listen to his hits when hanging out with friends

I don't know if you're interested, but you can come to french boards if you want to train.

>rap
maybe OrelSan or Les Casseurs Flowteurs.

Stromae
Noir Désir
Hugues Aufray (a bit cringe-worthy, but you should definitely know some of his songs)

youtube.com/watch?v=B3iN0UaVmG4
If you like punk music

Les Wampas tho

>Thierry Graal
P A T R I C I A N

Temps Mort.

The beats aged incredibly well, flow is fantastic and nobody or very few rappers managed to reach such a lyrical quality.

This album completely ruined french rap for the years to come. Every wannabe rapper wanted to sound like him.

Léo Ferré il pretty based.

Killl yourself.

Beirut, they don't speak French in most songs but they have influences

Malajube
Their biggest song is Montreal -40, but album wise Labyrinthes is their most solid shit.

If you like punk try Les Breastfeeders. Les trois accords is essential quebec-core. I'm French Canadian but listen to lastly English music, here are the only bands Franco I really like.

Stereolab.

Ca Plane Por Moi by Plastique Betrand

youtube.com/watch?v=sCkkxr7tS7c

if you'll accept québec music this is the shit

Peste Noire, but that won't exactly be helpful for learning french
