Qui est-elle?

Qui est-elle?
Louise Amanda Harman (née le 19 Décembre 1985 à Wembley), plus connu sous le nom de Lady Sovereign est une MC Anglaise.C'est en écoutant les albums de Salt-N-Pepa de sa mère que Lady Sovereign commence à écrire ses propres raps. Grandissant dans le dur quartier londonien de Chalkhill Estates, elle baigne dans la scène 'grime' tout en s'inspirant de son milieu.A l'est de Londres, dans ces quartiers défavorisés, on raffraîchit le hip hop.Avec un son et un flow ultra speed et mécanique, le grime propulsé par Dizzee Rascal est devenu la tasse de thé des rappeuses anglaises. A l'origine 'grime' est le nom qu'on donne à la crasse qui s'accumule sous les cuisinières. A quatorze ans, elle télécharge ses compositions sur le forum de So Solid Crew et rencontre son DJ, Frampster. Quittant l'école deux ans plus tard, elle obtient un rôle dans un film éducatif traitant de la vie d'une rappeuse en ascension et réussit à convaincre les producteurs qu'elle peut en composer la bande originale. Alors que les maquettes aboutissent dans les mains de Medasyn, le producteur partage sa découverte avec Frost P, Zuz Rock et Shystie tout en imaginant un douze pouces où hommes et femmes s'affronteraient. Lancé en 2003, 'The Battle' propulse la demoiselle à l'avant-scène tandis qu'Internet fait croître sa popularité. Passée la sortie du single 'Hoodie', elle propose l'EP 'Vertically Challenged' puis rencontre Jay-Z qui, flanqué d'Usher et L.A. Reid, lui demande d'improviser un rap avant de la signer chez Def Jam.

Lady Sovereign : "Ça a été une aventure de fou, je suis sortie de mon lit, je me suis fait signer par un grand label et là je bosse sur mon propre album. C'est complètement dingue. Mon père était punk, ma mère aussi. Ils s'en sont sortis, mais mon père écoute de la musique bizarre : il écoute du Ska. Il est complètement fou."

Première partie de D12, The Streets ou Basement Jaxx, suscitant l'intérêt de Missy Elliott comme des Neptunes, la jeune fille laisse toujours à voir et entendre des shows époustouflants de charisme et maîtrise. Agée d'à peine dix-neuf ans et définitivement plus à l'aise en baskets qu'en talons, Lady Sovereign avait sorti 'Public Warning' en 2006 qui avait fait plus de 250 000 ventes d'albums sans promo dés la première semaine.

Those Where The Days

C'est le clip le plus cool de son album.C'est du rap authentique et trop bien.

We used to play jump the line,
Or who could wrap the swing around the frame the most times, back in the day,
Riding our bikes around the estate and playin' basketball in the cage, those were the days,
I remember them water fights, teh tap outside,
Used to race to it on our bikes.
Grinnin' with two front teeth missin', those days were alright.
Knock down ginger, knock knock then shift.
Two minutes later we got locked in the lift,
Laughin' when we got out,
Got into silly arguments about who found the pound on the ground,
Bopped to the shops bought about ten ice pops,
The weather was hot so they melted in our pockets,
Used to carry my belongings in them McDonalds bumbags.
That was back then so boy don't mock it.

[Chorus (x3):]
Yeah, yeah.
Yo those were the days I will never forget.

Used to race down the hill in old Safeway Trollets.
I wasn't indoors playing with Barbies or dollies,
I was outside jumpin' off walls or playin' football,
Or getting chased by the local pit bull,
The odd character that every borough had,
Mad Phillip, Gingerbeard, or Mad Max,
The faces you wouldn't wanna see when you're on your jacks,
In the places you wouldn't be in if you stuck to your packs,
Stayed out till it was pitch black,
Sprayed my name on concrete slabs,
And I never got bitch-slapped.
Seen a couple of mans get stabbed,
Been chased by the mad man,
Gotta get back so I can...
Catch joke with my next door neighbor,
We played the first Mortal Kombat on the Sega,
Playing the latest jungle tunes we had on cassette,
Those were the day I will never forget.

[Chorus (x3):]
Yeah, yeah.
Yo those were the days I will never forget.

Remember naf naf jackets and spliffy jeans,
Adidas campus, them things were in,
It wasn't about the king of the bling,
It was the king of the rim, or the king of the swing.
Back then, well I kind has less.
But less was much better 'cause it saved a lot of stress.
I hung out in Coffers community center,
Now they've knocked it down and replaced it with an Asda.
My parents way of tellin us to get our backs in
Was them sounding some old fucking claxon.
We're soldier marched back up to Redcliffe Walk,
Chalkhill Estate don't exist no more,
It's just talk.

[Chorus (x3):]
Yeah, yeah.
Yo those were the days I will never forget.

Love Me Or Hate Me

Ce clip de Lady Sovereign est beaucoup plus moderne que Those Where The Days.C'est un super clip créatif qui a aussi un remix ou apparé et chante Missy Elliot.

Yeah,
It's officially the biggest midget in the game.
I dunno.
Make way for the S.O.V.

[Chorus (x2):]
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then fuck you!

I'm fat, I need a diet.
No, in fact I'm just too light
And I ain't got the biggest breast-s-s, but I write all the best hits.
I got hairy armpits, but I don't walk around like this.
I wear a big baggy t-shirt that hides that nasty shit.
Ugh!
Never had my nails done.
Bite them down until they're numb.
I'm the one with the non-existent bum,
Now I don't really give a....Ugh!
I'm missing my shepherd's pie
Like a high maintenance chick missin' her diamonds.
I'm missin' my clippers lighters.
Now bow down to your royal highness.
No I don't own a corgi,
Had a hamster, it died cause I ignored it.
Go on then, go on report me,
I'm English, try and deport me!

[Chorus (x2):]
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then fuck you!

I'm that funky little monkey with the tiniest ears.
I don't like drinking fancy champy,
I'll stick wit Heineken beers.
Whoops, might burp in ya face,
A little unlady-like,
What can I say?
Well oh gosh I'm not posh, male with odd socks.
I do what I'm doing, yeah!
So everybody's entitled to opinions,
I open my mouth and shit I got millions.
I'm the middle kid, the riddle kid,
I'll make you giggle till your sick
Cause my nose jiggles while I spit.
Yeah I do have some stories
And its true I want all the glory.
Go on then, come on support me,
I'm English, try and deport me!

[Chorus (x2):]
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then fuck you!

Love me or hate me
Love me or hate me

So I can't dance and I really can't sing.
I can only do one thing,
And that's be Lady Sovereign!
So I can't dance and I really can't sing.
I can only do one thing,
And that's be Lady Sovereign!

[Chorus (x4):]
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then fuck you!

[x2:]
Love me or hate me
Love me or hate me
Love me or hate me
I can only do one thing,
And that's be Lady Sovereign!

Tout ça, ça fait une super partie de tetris.
