History
Suprême NTM took French rap out of imitation and gave it a voice that could only come from the Paris suburbs. The duo came up in Saint-Denis out of the graffiti and dance scene of the late eighties, and the records kept that street origin as their subject rather than their decoration. The two rappers work as opposites, one hoarse and explosive, the other steady and cutting, and the trade off between them is the group's signature. Laisse pas traîner ton fils is the serious centre of the catalogue, a long address to parents about losing their children to the estates, delivered without a single raised punchline. Ma Benz goes the other way, a slow g funk groove and a deliberately crude hook that became one of the most quoted lines in French rap. That's My People shows the later, harder production style. The group was loud about policing and class in a country whose media was not ready for it, and the confrontations that followed became part of the story. What a listener recognises is the accent, the aggression and the clarity of the diction.
