For G Funk fiends only, let's get a glance at what happened Tuesday evening, July 3rd at Glaz'Art (short version, the longer one will be featured at http://www.myspace.com/unknownsauldier ). So it was the G Funk day in Paris Hip Hop fest 2007, with DJ Obsek, DJ Gone, DJ Smurf ( couldn't recognise who was who :-) ), breakdancers ( Franqey & Stiga..and others) , in fact pop lockers, a small BBQ party, there also was a lowrider car outside, a small Crip Walk contest and a G funk gig at the end ( around midnight). Mostly people from Paris and suburbs were there, others came from Metz and Lyon ( some hot spots for French G Funk ?)to see 50/50 ( the band featuring JL Tismé and Aelpeacha (and also SOB playing keyboards and talkbox, if you don't know Zapp you won't understand). Very good show ( although there were some lads, I would say "useless" on stage, I mean there were from the audience, not rappers or musicians or even members of CSRD or TSN...) and an unexpected guest, Stomy Bugsy ( from Ministere Amer fame) who played 3 tracks, " Sarcelles", "Sois Hardcore" and " Sacrifice de Poulets" ( there was also Driver, Hamed Daye). Papillon, people from 2 Moines and Les Sales Blancs ( Le Foula merde, Tombokarnage especially, all in black clothes, and leather gloves for LeFouLM) also went onstage for some tracks, problem is (for me) you cannot trade "West Coast" or " G Funk" words for " bandana music"..Anyway ( no female dancers for 50/50 this time) here is the tracklist for the main act, or what I think is the tracklist, " Merci pour nos vies", "Tiens moi au chaud", "Assekavekunstyleobsen", also Aelpeacha solo spot for " 1x2x3x", "Le Soleil Brille" ( from the new album "Val de Marne Rider 2007") with Papillon and Topaz, "Ya pas que la chatte"( from CSRD dayz ?)with JLT and others, JL spot was for " J'suis F" and you also got ( from his album "Rap de Chambre")" Vieux Mais Bon (funky remix)". Of course all this in no particular order...
