If you asked me to make you a mix with some of my favorite and most influencial french rap tracks from back in the days, this is the mix you'd get. Well I know you didn't ask for it, but still, here it is.

Back in the days I used to listen to Generations 88.2, a french hip-hop radio that would only air in the morning and evening. Coming back home from school I would listen to the radio and record everything I liked on a cassette tape. Then the following day I would rock that cassette on the way to school. My friends did that too.

This mix is a compilation of my favorite tracks from that era. The ones that influenced me the most. A lot of them are french rap classics, some are more obscure.

Les Sages Poètes, Dj Mehdi, Time Bomb.. these guys probably inspired me just as much as the Pete Rocks and the Atcqs, and the Dillas...

The main purpose of this mix was to introduce their work to the non-french listeners that never had the chance to hear it. All my french people who were sleeping, watching fresh prince, or eating BNs when these track came out are very welcome to listen as well though !

Last but not least I'd like to add that I think there are a lot of talented new artists in the french rap scene these days. I didn't play any of them in this mix because that wasn't the purpose of it, but they get love regardless.
