But culture is not just based language (tell that to iTunes though).  Some of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikolasschiller.com\/blog\/index.php\/archives\/2005\/12\/07\/635\/\">favorite films<\/a> are in French.  Heck there was also that time when I was in that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ledevoir.com\/2005\/09\/12\/90209.html\">Agence France Presse story<\/a> where my name was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikolasschiller.com\/blog\/index.php\/archives\/2005\/09\/11\/558\/\">mispelled<\/a> (and subsequently removed from the english language syndication).<\/p>\n<p>French Rap has always had a place in my heart, from the gansta rap of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Supr\u00c3\u00aame_NTM\">Supr\u00c3\u00aame NTM<\/a> (&#8220;Nique&#8221; being an aphesis of the verb &#8220;forniquer&#8221;, &#8220;to fornicate&#8221; meaning <i><b>N<\/b>ique <b>T<\/b>a <b>M<\/b>\u00c3\u00a8re<\/i> :: <i>Fuck Your Mother<\/i>) to the smooth <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/laarso\">MC Solaar<\/a>, I can say that I&#8217;ve been a fan for years.  Lately I&#8217;ve been enjoying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/tekitek\">Teki Latex<\/a> from the group <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/inbedwithttc\">TTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The first video is &#8220;Confessions Nocturnes&#8221; by Diam&#8217;s Feat Vitaa.  <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diam's\">Diam&#8217;s<\/a> is a 27-year-old female rapper from the island of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyprus\">Cyprus<\/a> <i>(<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Image:Flag_of_Cyprus.svg\">official flag has a map on it<\/a>)<\/i> who I think can rhyme quite well.  <a href=\" http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/vitaa \">Vitaa<\/a> is a French R&#038;B singer signed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/motownfrance\">Motown France<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The parody is by <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelyoun.com\/\">Michael Youn<\/a> and he&#8217;s one funny comedien that can rap.  His <a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/fatalbazooka\">Fatal Bazooka<\/a> character reminds me of Ali-G on da mic, but better.  Like Sacha Baron Cohen&#8217;s other characters, his <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=29rLBR12NZc\">newest video<\/a>, &#8220;<i>Parle \u00c3\u00a0 ma main<\/i> :: <i>Talk to the hand<\/i>&#8221; with French rapper <a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/yella\">Yella<\/a>, has him cross dressing as his younger sister, Christelle Bazooka.  <i>F.B.I. = False Good Idea<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Unlike the previous mash-up, these two videos don&#8217;t synch very well and the sound levels are off by a large degree.  But I found them enjoyable to watch &#038; listen to.  The trick to watching them at the same time is to use the volume buttons&#8211; mute one, watch the other, reverse, chuckle&#8230;. <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Below are 4 fauxnique parodies of Tecktonik&#8217;s remix of <a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/yella\">Yella<\/a>&#8216;s &#8220;A Cause Des Gar\u00c3\u00a7ons.&#8221; Try pressing play as fast as you can and mute all but one of the YouTubes.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n  &#8230;.Also, sometimes the youtube videos do not load in Firefox.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table width=\"800\">\n<td>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bytf3gZMFkY&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bytf3gZMFkY&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/d4i-Zrs-NcA&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/d4i-Zrs-NcA&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/td>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/jhttQNt2dTU&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/jhttQNt2dTU&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q-7DiJG9ato&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q-7DiJG9ato&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"400\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>I am ready for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5pGJCkCDK5A\">Soulja Boy<\/a> now.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Confessions Nocturnes&#8221; by Diam&#8217;s Feat Vitaa. &#8220;Mauvaise Foi Nocturne&#8221; by Fatal Bazooka feat Vitoo Over the summer I created my first YouTube mash-up &#8220;Scratch Slavery,&#8221; which allows you to create a beat track to congressional hearing about slavery being used in the construction the American embassy in Baghdad.
