Something like Pigalle, Renaud or Les Fatal Picards is about the lyrics first, so not understanding them changes a bunch of things (although in the song I linked François Hadji-Lazaro's physique does a bunch for the song's atmosphere too, I'd like to see him live).
I don't really like Stromae from what I heard of him. I often dislike both his voice and the way he sings, which seem to be the main reason people like him, so... @_@ His lyrics aren't excessively deep either, although not shallow enough to call him out on it.
I kind of see Stromae as the French Macklemore. A bit of depth but still pretty poppy. And I don't mind that at all
Btw I need more music.
Genres I need more from: Rap/hiphop, Electro house/swing, old soul/funk.
Rap/hiphop, I really like K.dot and Kanye. Have heard most of the classics (Biggie, Tupac, Nas, Snoop, Jay-Z, Outkast)
Electro house: Justice, Feed Me, Wolfgang Gartner, Madeon, Grum etc.
Electro swing: Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar, Goldfish, Electric Swing Circus
Old soul/funk: James Brown, Sam Cooke, Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, KC and the sunshine band, etc.
Pigalle's singer used to be a school teacher, taught himself a bunch of instruments, and started by playing in the sub. He also often served as a bouncer in concert bars (got the physique for it). Not exactly the kind of itinerary you see a lot now.
Lyrics are really great on this one, as is the way wording and singing are so naive, and at the same time melancholic or straight-up saddening depending on how you look at it.
Hey, let's play Arena! First game, shit draw, and the goddamn fucking mage has Deathwing that he draws two turns after I take huge boardcontrol. Just. Fuck this shit. Hell.
Oh. I somehow can still win, though, because he's low on HP. NOPE. Next turn he top decks the fireball to finish me off along with the 12 damage. Fucking scrubby lucker, go stroke yourself elsewhere with your emotes.
And game 2 shows me the classical "shit hand into mulligan into shit hand anyway".

I mean, if I do shit I get punished for it and I'm totally fine with it. But RNG shit like that makes me mad. Obviously the second time it happens it's against a mage too. Fuck mages, such a retard-proof class too. Freeze spells should get some more nerfs just because they're not much more than a way of saying "I want to do single player". Surprisingly enough the deck has won every single game between these two, one of them due to a top deck on my part. I thought it was going to be rather bad because it lacked 2-drops (several spells though) and 0 assassinate which makes it hard as fuck as Rogue to do anything if you can't kill early (my draft can't), but people haven't had huge decks either.
Edit: 8-3. Lost to some kind of shitter druid who had a Molten Giant (and remember, I got no burst 'cept a reckless rocketeer, I didn't get the chance to pick a single assassinate or sap or vanish or anything). Would have been 0K if I just lost because of that, I knew my draft was really bad in late game (and early too). Turns out I get a single possibility of eliminating the giant 3 turns in a row, and he top decks the answer that lets him keep it alive 3 turns in a row. Well, in this case I'm pretty pissed. But eh, if that shitter thinks himself smug for being able to top deck thrice in a row in arena to the point of spamming emotes and waiting till the timer runs out to play his last card, to each his own I guess.
Good thing I got the wolves spell as a reward though, because the pack was... young dragonhawk, blood imp (already got 2), Bite as a rare (shit druid card), the mage secret that grants armour (mostly useless and I don't play mage) and a golden Silverhand knight (already got 2 so it's 50 dust).
