Testifying to the Universality of Rap Music
The instrumentals in ‘C’est Fou’ sets an atmosphere that progressively builds into a tensed mood sustained by punchy lyrical delivery. This lyrical delivery, as flowing as it is, impresses upon the mind of the listener the seriousness of the theme; one evidently borne out of close observation of the human condition in contemporary times, especially.
Music is the language of the soul and from the inception of time, music has served the interconnectivity of humanity with their internal and external environments. And constantly, we are reminded of the defiance that music shows to the evident barriers of language and clime.
‘C’est Fou’ retains within its instrumental assortment the subtle elements of classical hip-hop arrangement. This goes to prove the universality of musical expression and, by extension, the human experience. And when we pay any more than cursory attention to ourselves, we are bound to realize that we are all cut from the same earthly/spiritual material as evident in our varied but basically similar experiences and our expression of them - not also forgetting how much we function as pieces of an interdependent whole. This is what MC Jones and Shortsam have proven with 'C'est Fou'.
