Loin de vouloir faire de l’ombre à la très humoristique liste des 2011’s freshmen du magazine de variété XXL (2010 était aussi très guignolesque dans le genre), il est possible pour tout jeune mc ayant les crocs de piquer la vedette aux futurs stars du Hip-Hop déjà déchues (Lil quoi ?). Bon, on ne garantit pas une exposition méritée dans ce même magazine ou tout autre magazine hexagonal autoproclamé de la culture urbaine (surtout depuis que Nagui ouvre son plateau à de vraies personnalités du mouvement…). Et on ne garantit même pas que l’on parle de vous sur la toile. Aller on vous donne une petite chronique sur un blog de seconde catégorie (histoire de faire larmoyer mes lecteurs), des volontaires ?
Bon toujours pas… Alors on dénonce : Wyldbunch, profession mc, natif d’Harlem et élevé à Bed Stuy Brooklyn. Avec quelques apparitions ça et là lui ayant donné une certaine street credibility ou tout du moins le passe droit pour la catégorie underground, Wyldbunch nous pond, dans l’anonymat le plus complet, « Rich Blood, Broke Pockets ». Et, excepté l’eau dans sa casserole, on ne peut pas dire qu’il y ait ébullition dans la sphère Hip-Hop… Normal le plan communication étant aussi voyant que Gilbert Montagné, il ne fallait pas s’attendre à des retours en masse et derrière l’hypocrite « thanks for the love & support » de sa page Facebook, on dénote une certaine tristesse qui oblige à prendre les armes !
Car Wyldbunch n’a pas de New-York que sa casquette, l’homme possède cet héritage urbain nécessaire à revêtir l’armure de mc et malheureusement cette crédulité à penser que la reconnaissance revient au plus méritant. Real Recognize Real, c’était il y a bien longtemps… Dommage car là où Wyldbunch pêche par méconnaissance, il excelle dans l’art d’écouter avec ses oreilles et non en fonction des tendances. Pas besoin de s’aventurer loin dans la galette pour trouver chaussure à son pied, Unforgiving World placée d’entrée de jeu met la barre très haute. Aux manettes, TwoManics team allemande loin de la vision musicale de leur compatriote Snowgoons, délivre un sample de soul aérienne tout en contraste avec la prestation rugueuse de Wyldbunch. Dans la catégorie coup genou dans le plexus, le street anthem My Story Is Yours lâchée par Amazing Maze devrait réveiller les amateurs de grosses drums. L’ajout de Lord Tariq donne un poids supplémentaire à l’ambiance bien noire du morceau (et permet aussi d’avoir des nouvelles du gus…). Plus orienté, cuts, DJ SoulClap de Boston continue sur le même schéma, histoire d’alimenter le sempiternel thème : Back In The Dayz. D’ailleurs, passée une première écoute, on se rend très vite compte, que malgré une réelle envie de bien faire, Wyldbunch ne dénote pas d’une agilité extraordinaire, que ce soit avec un micro ou une plume à la main. En clair, réussir à déterminer quelle caractéristique permet à Wyldbunch de sortir du flot continu des centaines de mc anonymes essayant de se débattre tant bien que mal sur la toile avec leur projet relève de l’impossible. Passés les thèmes bateaux que sont, l’introspection sur le mal de vivre, l’attachement à son quartier et la nostalgie des jours passés, il ne reste pas grand-chose à grignoter. Et sur 16 pistes, la redondance est parfois lourde à supporter.
Malgré toute sa bonne volonté, Wyldbunch ne marquera pas cette année 2011 mais loin des lumières, il ne démérite pas. Il ne manque pas grand-chose, un peu de talent et beaucoup de chance pour que ce Rich Blood, Broke Pockets puisse être à la hauteur. On espère tout de même le revoir avec un projet plus mature et surtout moins banal, histoire de prouver que lui aussi est un freshman à suivre de près.

The Homie Wyld Bunch responds with the real on Facebook: via Wyld Bunch and Thomas Rigaud (In full)
WYLD BUNCH: "I guess this is my 1st hate review...Funny how these things come from people that don't know a thing about you..Its always good to tell your own story ...Cuz if you don't a hater will tell it for you! Thanks for the post Thomas Rigaud. Shouts to my fam in France! lmfbao!!
#HateIsTheNewLove"
Thomas Rigaud - "There is no hate... For real cauze I'm writer and I support your shit and 13 is a good number"
Kinte Givens - "Yeah critics are like the dude that sits on his couch and talks about how he's better than everybody in the NBA!!!!!"
WYLD BUNCH: "Ok If I'm wrong..My apologies fam...I don't speak french but when I translate with the Google translator..It says some negative things and is 100% inaccurate..like "So we denounce: Wyldbunch, mc profession, a native of Harlem and raised in Brooklyn Bed Stuy."
WYLD BUNCH: "Word homie...All that sounds like support huh!? If thats love then I guess I should be glad you're not hatin LMAO"
Thomas Rigaud: "bad translation ! In my introduction I speak about the XXL's freshmen 2011 list and I say how is funny cause where are they now? Nowhere! But I know real mc who deserve the freshman list and it’s you! Then, after the introduction, I speak ...about you: where you’re from (you’re not from Harlem? And actually in Bed Stuy?), why I think you’re real, what I like, what I dislike and I finish with good feelin’ about your LP and how I hope to see you with a new album coming soonSee More"
Kinte Givens: "Wyldbunch is the truth HANDS DOWN!!!!!!"
Kinte Givens: "All that means is that ur making noise. Keep ur foot on their necks. U know that UGF got ur back my dude."
WYLD BUNCH: "Thanks Apocalypse! The feeling is mutual my brother.. It definitely Takes One To Know One!"
Kinte Givens - "U already!!!!"
Thomas Rigaud: "yeah think what you want : I'm a hater and Google is the truth, good luck for the next, I still support you but not in this kind of conversation"
WYLD BUNCH: "Thomas Rigaud If thats the case fam..Then my apologies.. I can only go by how its translated and I didn't make the up the translation..Google did. You can read it yourself. Despite any misunderstanding..I'm extremely grateful and love my s...upporters genuinely..Whether Harlem or Brooklyn, I rep for New York and hip hop worldwide period! I speak on my life experiences no matter how redundant it may seem to you. No deal..No major backing ..I did this album with the help of some very talented people and we all put in quality hard work to make what I consider to be a classic album.I don't care too much for what critics say and I don't expect everybody to like Wyld Bunch music at all..No blog necessary for that tho..If they don't like my music..Don't listen .. Problem solved..But to write a whole page only to have google mistranslate it defeats the purpose don't you think!?See More"
WYLD BUNCH: "Not callin you a hater Thomas Rigaud..I don't know you to call you that..Just going by a translation of what U wrote. Where Im from a mans word is his bond..So he says what he means.. Only fakes and haters say one thing and mean another..You're sayin its not hate so I'll take your word for it..end of story!"
Mo Carcariass Swc: "it s not really a "support" review, but i think this Thomas Rigaud does n t know you have hiphopfam and fans in switzerland france and germany and others lands..i speak french and i understand your reaction.. whatever, we know how you do and dont take attention to dat. keep it real ! and once again your album is fire! peace Mo Carcariass Swc"
"No blog necessary for that tho..If they don't like my music..Don't listen .. Problem solved"
Au moins c'est clair...
Perso j'ai bien aimé à part quelque sons, le mec a mis tout son coeur à l'ouvrage et sa se ressent, sa faim aussi se ressent et ca fait plaisir, c'est clair que sa ne révolutionne rien mais l'opus est plutôt bon, dommage que son projet ne sorte pas en physique...
Thank you very much Snow...I just want to make good music for people to enjoy!! I do have physical copies..They are not banned...I just haven't figured out how to get them to France at a decent shipping rate..I'm working on it tho because that is important to me..I don't have a major label backing me up and I do everything out of my own pockets so at times I can't do as much as I would like to be but as I continue to grow things will get better..Thanks again!! By the way, If you have any ideas that may help Im always ready to listen...wyldbunch@gmail.com..
Holla!
By the way, thxs for da FB ban I appreciate so much, no ban on my blog ! U can support or not Wyldbunch, u're welcome. Let's your message
And you know what my man Wyldbunch ? I will buy the physical copie and I don't give a fuck about this fucking diss about ya and me, I still support for sure (with my fb pics lol) !!!
Big shoot for this fuckin' game, all the actor's : mcs, listeners, beatmakers, reviewers, headz, Wyldbunch and the Rich Blood, Broke Pockets beatmakers
Peace !!!
FB ban... really...???
Juste de ses publications
All good 4real4real!! I'm not in the habbit of making enemies..I make music to reach out and connect with people that think or feel as I do..My motto is "fuck hate..make music"..I live by that! Bad publicity is still promo so either way I'm appreciative.. I can't and won't address every critic that say some bs about my music cuz everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i respect that..I can only learn from it...but in my defense..try putting yourself in my shoes and ask yourself..at what point are you supposed to speak up for yourself..You put up a blog voicing your opinion about me and my music but real talk...If you liked you could have said "This album is dope" simple..No big full paged blog or anything like that or I would've even given you an interview if you wanted, but what I saw was a person voicing their opinion about me and my music...which GOOGLE translates to me as a negative one and you didn't even, in all fairness, put any links to the album or my page to let people investigate, listen, and decide for themselves...I'm all real...in my music and in person and I could be wrong which I apologized for if that was the real deal...but I just felt like the way you did it was trying to take away from that and I'm all for peace but I'm definitely not the kind to "get slapped and turn the other cheek...Im a born fighter and thats the part of me that surfaces when I fell I'm being done dirty..It's only natural!
I appreciate your last message. Seriously, when I wrote a review I get nothin' to win just share some shit with a few blog readers( I'm not in the major league, u know what I mean). My opinion don't matter cuz I'm a just an anonymous head and not a pro.
But I have my own opinion and that, I will never change my mind to be pleasant or in the same way than U. Sorry my talk don't stop by a "This album is dope" but by what I want, I asked you to change something in your LP ? No !
Look all the reviews, no link here (download or fb page), people want listen to or buy/download albums, they must move their ass final point. Itw ? I repeat again I'm not a journalist.
Final point, I never disrepect you but You don't play the same game on your fb music page, what's wrong with my pics ? Imagine i did the same usin' wack world to present u in my review, so lay low bro' !
Te justifie pas vires ta chronique , ca lui fera la bite....
I hear you but "Real Is Real"! You don't have to be major. If I feel there's a problem that needs to be addressed, I'm gonna address it! It ain't about being "polite"...I come from the worst of the worst in these streets so no need to sugar coat shit with me...It's about respect tho and I felt disrespected by someone I never disrespected so I addressed it..I didn't just wake up one morning like "let me write some bullshit about Thomas Rigaud". I could have talked crazy on this thing but I'm not a keyboard thug..and I'm much better at showing you better than I can tell you. I be in the streets and I'm real easy to find if you're looking. You used my pics and gave your opinion on ME and what I do 1st...So I did the same in return..Saw your pic and gave my opinion..no photoshop shit..no made up/make believe shit..I don't know about wack world and all that other shit but I don't have pics kissing men and doing a bunch of weirdo shit but thats your business not mine..Im not judging..I got pics of family and me, chillin cuz that's what we do so you would have to do some photoshop /internet corny shit to shit on my pics but if you did go to those extremes then that would say more about YOU than I could with words cuz people aint stupid. PLUS my facebook page is open to friends only..not public and that's as far as my opinion about your pics went and 4real..My only comment was "If a pic is worth a thousand words..NUFF SAID" cuz If I had said anything more You could easily make it look like I'm gay bashing and I want everybody to buy my music..gay, straight, whatever..don't matter to me as long as you like real hip hop cuz that's what I do BUT your full page blog about ME is PUBLIC for EVERYONE to see how you came at me...Regardless if your major or not..So please understand that you are the one who should "LAY LOW BRO" or rethink how you do things if you don't want people misunderstanding whatever it is you're trying to accomplish by blogging about their hard work.. If you wanted to support you could've added yourself to my fan page by simply clicking "like" instead of trying to criticize me for HONESTLY telling people THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT as if you know me personally..or even had a convo with me for that matter..But when it comes to speaking on someone else and what it is that they do just know it's liable to be misunderstood because of the way you're doing it and I'm sure others like me, If they feel disrespected, ain't going for it either..You gave an opinion on me..Cool...I gave mine on you...but you didn't like the way it felt tho..Funny!! I gave this bs way to much of my time so I'm done with it..It is messed up we got off on the wrong foot. I'll support you as much as you support me but support or don't..No hard feelings on my end..I'm just being real with you..I'd rather you did support but I'm good regardless so for ANYBODY that's feeling Bunch music, love is love cuz I need that and for those that don't and wanna hate...kick rocks cuz I DON"T need that!
@ Anonyme : je vais pas lui faire ce plaiz; téma la pleureuse avec ses messages de bolosse, au lieu de jouer jeu en s'en servant il crie au viol et tente la carte pédale pour me discréditer. Bref il me fait goleri avec sa mif sur FB, au final c'est lui qui s'affiche
"love is love cuz I need that and for those that don't and wanna hate"
Firstly sorry for my english, secondly you done anything to be hated !!!
I'm the fucking man who recommanded you to drill, I advised him to listen your music, but you know what I made an error, you're juste pitiful, seriously stop FB hating...
Just try to use your brain a little, You're almost unkown in france, this review... just good for you, please think !
@Wyldbunch, Don't get caught in nonsense. Keep doing your thing bro! Dope album! Big up from Switzerland!
