French Artists Sampled in Hip-Hop
Apple Music


JAY Z sampled Véronique Sanson's ‘70s song "Une nuit sur son épaule", Gang Starr borrowed electronic pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey's classic "E.V.A.", and Charles Aznavour's ‘60s hit "Parce que tu crois" has been flipped by both Dr. Dre and Canadian singer Nikki Yanofsky. After all, hip-hop's crate diggers have always had a soft spot for French pop's particular je ne sais quoi.
