Gims has just uttered a rant to announce the next project he wants to set up! The leader of Sexion D’Assaut deplores the fact that French rappers are often under-represented at the Victoires de la Musique and wants to set up his own ceremony. For this, DemDem’s husband appealed to French billionaires for support in order to organize this event.
Gims is mobilizing for culture!
“I was on the Top 50 Spotify, it’s crazy: it’s clearly the urban that dominates, and for years. The top 50 is almost exclusively urban. And more of the urban French, with the Americans from time to time. The problem is that term: urban. He is too reductive. That’s a problem, because suddenly, they put us in categories. » he begins to declare in a video posted on the networks, annoyed by the urban term in particular used during the Victoires de la Musique ceremonies. “This urban album thing is like saying ‘it’s the sub-album of the year’, it refers to that, it’s pejorative. We have to stop with that, ”urban album”, ”urban artist”. We are put into categories. »continues Gims.
“When we talk about urban album of the year, it’s like saying ‘it’s the sub-album of the year’, it’s pejorative. We have to stop with that… It’s not normal for this “urban” category to be set aside and for there to be people out of nowhere who are album of the year”. » Meugui then explains before posting a request for support in his approach on Snapchat. “I want to organize my Victoires de la Musique. I am making a call for tenders directly, I am addressing French billionaires. For culture ». It remains to be seen whether his appeal will be heard or not.
