Euro: the anthem of the Blues of Youssoupha "is not unifying", judges rapper Kaotik 747

INTERVIEW

A song that is not playful enough for rapper Kaotik 747. The anthem of the Blues composed by rapper Youssoupha for Euro 2021 is decidedly not to everyone's taste.

Unveiled last Wednesday, the clip and the title, entitled "Write my name in blue", was singled out by the National Rally.

For his part, the rapper Kaotik 747, guest of the morning of Europe 1 Monday, judges that the title "is not unifying".

Write my name in Blue,

Call out my name in Blue!

A "dark" song

While he recognizes Youssoupha's "enormous writing talent", the artist, who became known to the general public by speaking during the police demonstration in front of the National Assembly, believes that this song "is dark".

Which poses a problem according to him.

"We are emerging from a health crisis, there are social tensions everywhere [in France], morbid and very sad news items ... Today, France needs to come together under the same flag, we need smile."

And to drive home the point: "We need to federate all of France. The lower France, all religions, everyone."

Kaotik 747 composed his own song for the Blues

If the choice of Youssoupha was defended by the Minister of Sports Roxana Maracineanu - who recalled the latter's commitment against racism - Kaotik 747 ensures that the

pushing for him to be the author of the official anthem des Bleus for Euro 2021. "I'm going to be honest with you: it's been two or even three days that I have received tens of thousands of messages from French people with an immigrant background or other asking me to make the music for the Euro . "

A title also already recorded that Kaotik 747 will broadcast on its YouTube channel if the latter reaches the level of "5,000 subscribers before Wednesday 6 pm", he blurted at the microphone of Europe 1. "It will then be up to the French to to choose."

Sure of himself, the rapper (Karim of his real first name) also specifies that "all the French know the refrain of [his] future song". 

If it is unlikely that the title of Kaotik 747 dethrones, at least officially, that of Youssoupha for the European competition, the rapper will in any case have known to the general public in just a few days.
