...well you guys wrote a lot about the best of hip hop us songs. So I won't add some to this  list but drop you several songs that should be heard for real hip hop fans.

I'm talking about where i'm from, France, where I think hip hop take a real big place, comparable to the USA even if it may be not as much well-known. I guess you didn't wait to see the events in our suburbs  this winter to look on what happens there ( "rapically" speaking)  and I also selected my best french rap songs that i'm sure you'll enjoy:

• I am / Demain c'est loin ( and entire "l'école du micro d'argent" album)
• NTM / La fièvre
• Lunatic / Pas le temps pour les regrets
• Rohff / Du fond du coeur
• Ideal J / L'amour
• 113 / Princes de la ville
• La rumeur / L'ombre sur la mesure
• ATK / mangeur de pierres
• Shurik'n / Samouraï

There are plenty of talents outthere, plenty of rapers worth interesting and I encourage you to focus on it.

PS: sorry if my english is not correct as your's, I'm trying to improve...
