Small Saint -Etienne Bulletin - Saint -Etienne concerts: Portrait - Mc Pampille, naked as a green - article published by Cerise Rochet

"To my graay, see you, pôôôôse me your Questiaons!"It is over Saint-Etienne, on a slightly soft and near a fridge in which someone has forgotten a cheese several years ago, that MC PampilleJoined for an interview, one afternoon in October.A decor as relaxed as it is improvised, which ultimately sticks right with the style "quirky-prone-prone" of the rapper Stéphanois.

Five years, that we had not seen it, or almost.Five years in which Pampille needed to move away from the spotlight, turned on him since the release in 2010 (roughly, he no longer remembers very well) of his song a crazy day, which propelled himAt the top of the Ligerian charts.So, for his comeback, the Stéphanois decided to make himself very beautiful, with a new outfit of which he is very proud.And frankly, when we see him dressed like that, it understands.Exit the survey of the Ass'.Today, Pampille carries the Kangol scratched bob, and the green and white jacket like US University, flocked to its own name please.Not that he is no longer a football lover and supporting Greens, quite the contrary.But you just had to be up to the event."I am a bit like the sphinx which is reborn from its ashes," launches the character by pressing very hard on the vowels, as the real Stéphanois know how to do it.And since I had been the same jogging for 15 years, for this comeback, this comeback, I wanted a new costume.Yes I know.Normally, it is the phoenix which is reborn from its ashes.But here we say the sphinx*.»»

A star in depression

This improbable art of the turn, this genius of the Gaga expression, it is the famous Montbrisonnais Dj Alain, who spotted it at Pampille, more than 10 years ago.The legend even tells that it is at the café de la gourbe de la Place Jacquard, a day of cooked, that it all started.A symbol."We were there, seated, spinning and telling bullshit, and it was at this time that Dj Alain saw what no one had seen before him. Il m'a dit "je vais faire de toi une star" et puis voilà, on a pris la route de Montbrison, on est arrivé, on a bu, et après on s'est mis à écrire»», se souvient Pampille, qu'on devine forcément nostalgique. Après la diffusion d'un premier morceau sur "les Internet", c'est « l'effet boule de neige»» : partie d'une belle beuverie, la blague va carrément faire de Pampille une vedette."Mickaël Furnon saw the song and he decided to give it in pasture to the Parisian show-biz.We signed for an album, which we called a green among many others. T'as vu le jeu de mots ?»».We saw, yes.We are impressed, moreover.

After the release of this first opus, the rapper Stéphanois leaves for a world tour of the Loire.About sixty dates, including the most beautiful, in the cauldron during a derby lost by the Greens, who today leave an imperishable memory in the.Public delirium, fans who tear him off the jersey...Nothing less than a life of rock star.So there is no wonder that he had trouble managing this case in the long term.In 2014, he cracks.BIM, depression."A great classic.The descendant after success, the shot of gray.Then hey, you know how it is, when you turn more, your friends drop you...So I fell back on me, I went to bury myself, I blamed, laid down and also thought about.In the sense of life, to the feeling of existence, all that.And then I read a book.A revelation.Books, in fact, it's like cinema except that it is in your head, it's completely crazy.»»

An ultra-enlisting return

A profitable desert crossing, since after having rejected a little by thinking of what life is, Pampille decides to give it.18 months ago, he thus became a father of his first little pillou, which puts an almost definent end to his ardor of big brightness."Because a child is nice, but it tires, anyway.»» Et, puisqu'un bonheur n'arrive jamais seul...Shortly after, DJ Alain resurfaces.Talent finder, the friend of always, put himself at the head to see his paddle come back to "Le Game"."He found me, we saw each other again, we remembered so many good memories...It made me want to get back to it.But hey, we had to find things to say, because when you vials more, it's more complicated.»»

Things to say, Pampille finally found a good package.Football and ass', of course, but not only.Road drivers that do anything - scooters included - Badabeus who judge the differences without knowing...An ultra-engaged album, in short: "As I said, I read books and it inspired me a lot. Dans cet album, je parle de ma renaissance aussi, de mon fils, et de la ville de Saint-Étienne, qui est grise et chiante comme pas deux, mais quand t'arrives à voir derrière la façade, tu peux y être heureux»». Côté musique, le disque est « très varié»», puisque l'artiste a concocté « des morceaux de rap old school, du rap new school, un morceau de pop à faire pleurer dans les chaumières, et même du zouk»».Entitled on the sidelines, this baby will be released in the bins on November 29.The day before and the day before, Pampille will have made his comeback on stage, thanks to two concerts over. L'un, le 27, en after-work, et l'autre, le 28, en première partie des Puppetmastaz, « des Allemands qui chantent en amerloque»». À chaque fois, le rappeur sera accompagné de DJ Alain et de ses meilleures galettes, alors c'est sûr,« on va bien rigoler»».

Who are you, Pampille?

Until then, the rapper continues the shooting of clips and the promo sequences, in real life as on social networks, his face always hidden behind his huge tinted glasses look vintage.But when he happens to remove them...It is the other, which appears. Le « jumeau»».Mulomaniac, well known in the Stéphanois hip-hop environment, invested and active in music for many years, sailing from project to project, from punchline in punchline, sometimes with some, sometimes with others, sometimes funny, often serious...In fact, we recognized you, dan.Uh Julien.No, Bernard.In short, we know more, but we recognized you.
