The Key To Success
This spring I interviewed TTC for Groove Magazine.
I could be writing a long post bout them, what they’ve done and why they are awesome. Instead I’m going to explain why they are not hated.
Releasing three full-length albums doing French rap on electro beats is just not very common. Usually one releases one song on myspace and then gets 200.000 clicks and after five months of hype your forgotten and just SO YESTERDAY.
That’s not happened to TTC yet.
Why? One then asks himself.
I’ll tell you why: because TTC are the uncrowned masters of renewal. A big fucking must in this fluo fluo business.
So this is how it goes down:
1. First they release a super experimental rap-record singing bout super heroes, and a cd with La Caution under the name L’armée de 12. And every back-pack head in Paris goes like: Oh putain je kif c super tro difficile a comprendre faut l’aimer. That way they have a solid fan-base.
2. Then they tear up the clubs with a mix of electro and French booty-bass on Batard Sensible. And have every eighteen-year old in France singing Girlfriend.
3. After that they release 3615 TTC wich is super-pop and ever so catchy. The people like it. And just when listening to the otherwise so awesome Travailler starts to feel a bit boring.
4. They go and do the most fucking perfect remix of a song I’ve ever heard. Listen to it, love it or die.
