Reboot [English translation]

"You met an artist from Le Havre, well-known on social medias, he used Twitter a lot, his name is Médine, he's a rapper and in early January, he uploaded a controversial piece of music on secularism that hasn't been understood too well"

"He began his career with a musical apology for 9/11 and Ben Laden. He then found himself bannef from airwaves"

"... On page 32 of Marianne 1 precisely, there's another paper "The dirty paths of Jihad..."

"You for instance quote the report.. excuse me.. the rapper Médine performed..."

"... That clip, because we actually notice that the marketing of jihadism today is..."

"But you're saying that he's talking in absolute terms, that's not true..."

"These cries of rage, I admit, worry me.."

"In my opinion, his rap plays with fire.."

Those who trade their liberty for safety deserve neither

We're searching for truth, we don't want the charity of its philanthropists

There will be no tanning booths in the heavean of districts nor in our coffins

This close to encourage the sawn-off shotgun to their ballot papers

With their quills, inks, beats, samples, to wipe out or to extand

It's the Din Records' way, we're walking in the Motown's footsteps

Salsa Konaté, Bullet Proof 2

From vilified rap: I don't give a fuck

Tied tubes: they all have

My verses aren't listened: they're listened again

I'm gonna Erick Sermon them everyday

My sidekick Tiers Monde, he's - he's my double

My engineer is Dicé: Mickaël Rebou

You created rap, I rebooted it.

Reboot, reboot

Nobody can disregard Allah's laws

Time is a creature like the Devil's throne

Street life isn't a telenovela

Stop. Who gives out the good and bad marks on planet earth ?

Stop. Who judges regulatory the skirt lenght at Charleville-Mézières ? 3

Stop. Long gone are the Because 4 days, I'm no longer indulging in

My EP only comes out in digital but doesn't only pay in bitcoins

Bloody hell, the beat strikes like a Ronda Rousey punch

Rap is cross-breed, I've got the beard of Kaaris under the eyebrows of my homie Rocé 5

I come out of the carriage, eh ! I was all dented.

New flowgiciel 6, I've only got to work

Like Alivor, the only thing left is to box

I've created my own door and I only have to break through it

I put my foot down, I don't fear the danger like a go fast in Tanger

We've been caught by a speed camera while getting out of the mosque, mehlish 7

3,2,1 my mine is engaged

It's for my Wiggas 8 and my Niggas

Ramsey, Brav and Julien Taulard

Oumar Chicano, General and Adams, the Don't Panik team and Naim Van Peebles 9

My name is Médine: It's the anagram for clearing mines

My brothers all want to die Muslims with Vikings funerals

All we want to do is crash the Firdaws 10 and for our families to come

We don't want to die for one thousand virgins but we want to survive to fill out virgin papers

Came as a kit from the US, your career is ubuesque

You waste oxygen, come on, lose yourself in burlesque

You think you're hot, you think you're hardcore

You think you're in Sons Of Anar'

You think you're Kendrick Lamar

Here you're just a donkey, we call you Kendrick Lhmar 11

"I didn't get all that verbal battering, we've got to widen the question. Rap is more or less.. I reckon there's people.. an absolute verbal puking fest of extreme violence"

"After four solo albums, it's not Médine's trial run, it's an engaged rapper, wilful person, sure of himself and when he raps, well of course he provokes, it's the rap game. He says it the way it is, he stands behind his ideas: a big society of coexistence..."
