turns precursor and trigger vocation Dee Nasty is inseparable the birth of Hip Hop in France, a movement which has continued to carry the flame to the point of becoming an indispensable reference.
After discovering the United States the break dancers and graffiti in 1979 at the same time as the Sugarhill Gang, Dee Nasty will gradually drop the guitar to tamper with the tapes. With an old beat-box and two turntables, he began looking for the new groove freshly imported from New York. Dee Nasty mania therefore scissors, glue and pencil before discovering the cross-fader.
To buy records, he toured Paris on his Vespa: the horse goes into radio and record labels through the back door. He identifies himself struggling to advance the movement: the Sunday afternoon he organizes hip hop in vacant lots north of the capital: a podium with a generator, 2 phono amplified: access to 5 francs, Dee Nasty kneaded funk and triturated vinyl, dancers hurl challenges, metal fences are colored frescoes realistic aerosol. Lionel D., Destroy Man and Johnny Go sweep the plaster at the microphone for all rappers that will later speak French in the text, circulating pirated cassettes, the D system is set up ...
Not content with being a DJ Dee Nasty self-released in 1984 on a 33 rpm Records Funkzilla Paname City Rappin. Smurf a face, a face Metro Scratch: words and music signed Dee Nasty. Heralding a golden age coming dj's, Dee Nasty demonstrates a way to accommodate two turntables for a maximum of groove and energy.

They organize with Dee Nasty the memorable evenings at Chez Roger Boite Funk Globo and are bringing Public Enemy and Afrika Bambaataa. We are in 1986, Daniel touches his first turntables and Technics MK2? Covers the comfort of baize to continue his quest for the "perfect beat".
Dee Nasty becomes sniper jellyfish and the public championship disc jockeys. He fascinates his audience of aficionados on FM and invites her fans the most virulent to test themselves behind the microphone during his broadcasts: what then are the beginnings of live NTM, MC SOLAAR, ASSASSIN, Ministère AMER, and many others are turning to their mix tape ? s goal in the Deenastyle on Radio Nova (tapes of his mixes are moving under the cloak for 3 generations.)
Before the late 80's, then there is still no other rap albums French , artists rely on his donations arranger and mixer scratcher: Amina, Cheb Khaled, Rita Mitsouko and the Beastie Boys, Arthur H, the funky old soul man Rufus Thomas. In his discography

Little writing at this time (too little, for lack of time) One
v1 for a new TA "on track" Project Transition. I let stand two weeks and I reread it with fresh eyes.
few lines for another new one. I had an idea at first, but by asking my character's history was reconstructed. So if I have time to finish before the deadline of TA will be without a net: I do not know exactly how I'll go where I go.
I have not had time to rework my project in white (although I hey, I'm already attached to the characters).
I have to finish my syno for Here and There . It discourages me a little that I would not have time for writing now. I'll have to admit that I must be a syno I work after temporary. It hurts my heart.
Otherwise, I reworked a new one to send it to "give voice" (deadline 30 January) and sent "The Guilty" (Fantasy) to AOC. I'm glad Blord tries his luck somewhere.
George Johnson (Los Angeles, California, May 17, 1953) Louis Johnson (Los Angeles, California, April 13, 1955)
Both Johnson brothers began their musical career very young in high school component with their eldest son Tommy and their cousin Alex Weir, Johnson Three Plus One. Very highly rated in the world of the soul of Los Angeles in the early 1970s, they were regularly accompanied in the studio, on stage, artists like the Supremes, David Ruffin, Bill Withers and Bobby Womack. George and Louis are quick to take off as a duo, writing songs for four hands they provide including Billy Preston for his album Music Is My Life (1972) and The Kids & Me (1974 ). The next year is even stronger, while Quincy Jones, always on the lookout for new talent, the two brothers discovered by accident one day when they audition Stevie Wonder in the studio. He calls on the field for a tour in Japan before calling them for his album Mellow Madness which they provide several texts as Just a Little Taste of Me especially Is It Love That We're Missin ' they perform with him. The success of this collaboration marks a turning point for the Brothers Johnson on tour in Japan with Quincy Jones before joining A & M on its recommendation to burn under his leadership the prophetic Look Out for No. 1 : in s imposing top of the best sales during the summer of 1976, this album definitely makes about giving them two bestselling books, I'll Be Good to You (Soul No. 1, No. 3 Pop) and Get The Funk Out My Face .
sales Look Out for No. 1 having passed the one million copies, A & M offers the duo renew their collaboration with Quincy in 1977. Full-time disco funk, drum machines and synthesized guitars of brothers are all the rage and Right on Time turn becomes platinum album in three months, while Strawberry Letter 23 (a song borrowed from son Johnny Otis, Shuggie), with its guitar solo Lee Ritenour signed, gives the names of the Brothers Johnson at the top of the charts in black. The scenario is repeated almost identically with Blam! seven weeks heads bestseller Soul album in 1978, then again two years later with Light Up the Night whose title Stomp! , ubiquitous on dance floors in 1980, George and Louis gave their third and final Number One
With the 1980 maturity yields to some wear, especially the brothers chose to go now Quincy Jones in 1981 if Winners carries a solid hit with The Real Thing, the album sales are much lower than what the Johnsons have experienced so far. Blast! (The Lastest And The Greatest) two years later, with a face of past successes and a new face, and Out of Control in 1984 reported a slowdown in their adventures together. Since the beginning of the decade, Louis is one of the most popular studio bass players wanted the art (including one can hear on the album Thriller by Michael Jackson) and George working regularly with Steve Arrington, which does not prevent them ending up on time for projects often involving their favorite producer, Quincy Jones. in 1989 for his album Back on the Block, Quincy Jones gave them a tribute by asking Ray Charles and Chaka Khan back I'll Be Good to You, which found that occasion the first place the charts black.
