vos rappeurs/rappeuses préféré.es ? toutes langues confondues

En V2V (vrai de vrai), je n'écoute pas beaucoup de rap. J'aime beaucoup le genre mais j'y suis exposé principalement dans des DJ sets qui me font dévouvrir des morceaux que j'aime beaucoup individuellement.

Si je devais en choisir un, je dirais Travis Scott, mais j'aime aussi beaucoup ICONIKA, Ice Spice, Cardi B aux USA. Sadboi au Canada! Je suis obligé de mentionner SDKid, MIA ou Raleigh Ritchie pour le Royaume-Uni.

En France, peut-être Kerry James, Théodora ou Abd al Malik!

Merci pour la question!

It's always a surprise to discover that some people see me as """racially ambiguous""". Over the years, your local city white boy has alternatively been perceived as:

Turkish

Maghrebi

Jewish

Colombian/Peruvian

Happened again last night at a party. Like what ?

Interestingly, it's always coming from fellow white people. I wager that no one from the list I've just made would take me for anything else than white

hey quick question what the fuck? hey, just, just a real quick question, what the Fuck

[jasper-rolls]

don’t act like you don’t know exactly what’s going on

[maxknightley]

[peppapigvevo]

how did this post miss the best 3 ones:

[bladder420-deactivated20190726]

how do you sexualize a fucking cactus

[calleo]

I believe the last ad shows exactly how you do that.

[linguisticparadox]

Fun fact the octopus (as well as the cactus and I thinnkkk the jellyfish but those aren’t relevant to my point) is advertising specifically that it’s “naturally pulpy” (“naturellement pulpeuse”). And in French, one word for an octopus is “poulpe”! So that one is a pun!

[kephas-rolling]

One layer to this advertising that is missing is the play on words with "pulpeuse". It does mean "pulpy" but it also means "buxom"

[indigosfindings]

it's crazy when couples & friends & whatnot refer to themselves as "a packaged eel". like wow you two are so close that you are fusing into a long slimy fuck... & theyre putting you in a box......
