If much has been criticized on television for neglecting urban cultures, France 2 is a game-changer. The public television channel seems to be more and more interested in rap, which is today the most listened to musical style in France, according to the assessment of the decade drawn up by Spotify France. In recent months, France 2 has broadcast several concerts by the big names in French rap, including the lives of Damso, Oxmo Pucino, Youssoupha, NTM's last concert at the AccorHotels Arena, or even that of Gims in Marrakech. .
According to information from Europe 1, the television channel has just put in a box a new program in which an artist performs on stage and welcomes his crew , his artist friends, to sing alongside him. The first issue was filmed at Bataclan last Wednesday and will honor the young rapper Ninho, 23 years old. His album was ranked among the five best-selling records in France in 2019. This new event called "Concert and Co" should be broadcast soon on France 2 which wants to rejuvenate its audience. Other issues honoring other artists should follow.
Netflix is also riding the rap wave in France
Rap and urban culture are popular, and Netflix has also understood this very well. Indeed, Le Parisien has revealed that Netflix is launching a search for the new star of French rap and wishes to adapt its show "Rhythm + Flow" in France. This is a rap program that features three jurors, hip hop stars, who are none other than Cardi B, TI and Chance The Rapper. For the moment, the project is still at the development stage in France, production has not yet been chosen. It remains especially to know which rap figures could become the jurors of the French version.
