Starting the Day off with MC Solaar, DJ Cam and a Touch of Rage

Sometimes it is hard to decide what music start the day off with. I was going to listen to Rage Against the Machine, but I found a CD I had been looking for, "The Beat Assassinated" by DJ Cam. I did listen to a couple of RATM songs, but I had DJ Cam fits my mood right now. I do like the energy and politics of RATM, but I had been listening to MC Solaar, and if I had more time this morning I would listen to DJ Vadim and Manau. My first French Hip Hop CD was by Manau. I saw it in a store. I did not know anything about them, but I wanted some new French music, so I took a chance. I was hooked on their music immediately. Their lyrics are fun, and the instrumentation is great, especially the bagpipes and other instruments one usually does not hear in Hip Hop. A friend introduced me to DJ Cam and DJ Vadim. Not surprisingly my favorite part of "The Beat Assassinated" is the beat. That does not mean that mean that I do not like other aspects of the music. There are some great raps on the disc. I am happy I found this CD. I had accidentally put in in the case with another CD by DJ Cam. Most of the raps are in English on this CD. There is more French on this CD. "U Can't Lurn Imaginashun" by DJ Vadim. I definitely want to get more music by these two. I would like to find some rap in more languages, especially, German, Czech, Slovak and Russian. I have some Russian and French Reggae on some CD's. I am not ready to stop listening to DJ Cam, but I have to go to work. The disc will still be in my computer when I get home, so I will continue listening to it when I get home. Then I can move on to DJ Vadim. Life is good.
