Here is the last video by dj Babu #10 “Eurotrip”. He came to our Free your Funk event with Blu, Fashawn, Exile, Diamond District and Trek Life as he was in Paris and took a lot of videos. Was wondering how it would come out, so here it is. Paris takes a big part in the video, I love it (lol).

Voici la dernière video publié par Dj Babu #10, “Eurotrip”. Il était venu à l’évenement Free your Funk avec Blu, Fashawn, Exile, Diamond District et Trek Life, comme il était déjà sur Paris et avait prit beaucoup de vidéos. J’étais donc assez curieuse de voir ce que cela allé donner et voici la réponse en images. Paris prend une place importante dans cette vidéo, j’adore (lol).

I just found this on yesyesyall.org (Man, I love this blog!), I loved the cover they posted (I think they made it, beautiful) with this quote of D’angelo “Smack your ass, pull your hair“. As a big fan of D’angelo I was curious to see what was that. It’s a beattape by Chris P (I didn’t find anything about him on google unfortunately) made of D’angelo’s music only and as Chris P said “One Prince sample and one Digital Underground sample (both to enhance the particular beat), and ?uest’s drums from erykah’s “booty” on two beats. Other than that, it’s ALL D’angelo samples.“. This is dope I like it a lot, it’s not new but I never heard it before. I hope you enjoy it!

>>> Sulaiman, a emcee just took some of the beats fby Chris P to rap over, download it here.

Je viens juste de trouver ça sur yesyesyall.org (Ce blog est excellent!) avec une citation de D’angelo, Smack your ass, pull your hair“. En tant que fan de D’angelo ça m’a interpellé, j’ai donc écouté. C’est en fait une beattape de Chris P (inconnu jusque là et je n’ai malheureusement rien trouvé sur internet) composé de sample de D’angelo comme Chris P le dit lui même, “Un sample de Prince et un de Digital Underground et les drums de Questlove prient sur le morceau “Booty” d”Erykah badu. A part ça, ce ne sont que des samples de D’angelo“. Perso j’ai beaucoup aimé le projet, j’espère que vous apprécierez autant que moi.

Enjoy.

Here is my little Feb’s playlist I’ve called “C’est Quoi L’amour” (what is love?) because “Feb is for lover” (dixit Bobbie Bomdia). I think this playlist might be good before to sleep or while chilling with some friends.
I hope you enjoy.

Free Your Funk event put together a good show with a GREAT line up : Diamond District, Trek Life, Fashawn, Blu and Exile… Dj Babu came by to enjoy the show as well as Dela (great french producer). Trek Life went first (unfortunately I don’t have videos) then Diamond District with lot of good energies, Oddisee even played some new beats, Fashawn and Exile came after, Fashawn is really full of energy and finally Blu, one of my favorite emcees of the new generation. A nice freestyle w/ all the artists ended up the show perfectly (videos coming next week) and a live MPC by Exile!

WE L O V E

May you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day. For this occasion, everybody made some special VD’s mix. I’ve choose a special one by the beatmaker Dela, “The Broken heart’s mix“. Not that I dislike VD because I’m surrounded by love from my family and friends. It’s a day to celebrate love however this day may remind some of us of our broken hearts, so if you’re one of us, here is a mix for you. Stay positive thought, love is here somewhere.
Enjoy.

Bonne Saint Valentin à tout le monde, pour cette occasion tout le monde a fait un mix spécial Saint-Valentin. Pour ma part, j’ai choisi un mix bien spécial l’anti saint-Valentin mix par le beatmaker Dela, “The Broken heart’s mix“. Non que je déteste la Saint-Valentin car je suis entourée d’amour, de la part de ma famille et de mes amis. C’est un jour pour célébrer l’amour mais ce genre d’événement nous rappelle nos “Broken hearts”, si vous êtes comme nous, voici donc ce très bon mix. Cependant, restez positif, l’amour est là quelque part.
Enjoy

Friday night Omar was performing in Sannois, Parisian’s suburb, in a little place I like, EMB, where I already saw Amp Fiddler, years ago. It was the first time I saw Omar and I was really happy. The energy was kind of slow at the beginning but ended up really nicely, on some classics joints with lot more energy. I had a great time with my friends enjoying the performance. Omar is def one of the greatest nu soul artists.

Vendredi soir quelques jours après son concert au New Morning, Omar donnait un concert à Sannois, à l’EMB, petite salle de banlieue que j’aime beaucoup, j’avais gardé de bon souvenirs du concert de Amp Fiddler. C’était la première fois que je voyais Omar en concert, j’étais donc très heureuse. Le concert à commencé assez doucement, peut-être trop doucement à mon goût mais l’énergie a monté petit à petit pour finir merveilleusement bien, dansant et sur les classiques du Monsieur. Très bon moment passé avec mes amis, comme j’aime, en musique. Omar est vraiment l’un des meilleurs artistes nu soul et malheureusement pas aussi populaire qu’il le mériterait.
