The International Underground Rap & Hip Hop connexion has the immense pleasure to greet into its writers team the French Philosopher Benjamine Weill. <\/p>\n

With a solid background into Contemporary philosophy at the University of the Sorbonne (Paris) she grew up with Hip Hop and is currently writing a book about it, that will be released within the year!<\/p>\n

Benjamine is already writing also some articles about the movement and the culture with always some kind of a philosophical approach and a larger vision… You will find below the first part of “Philosophical perspective about Hip Hop by Benjamine Weill”. <\/p>\n

We will be publishing this part of her work for the movement as a series offered to our readers little by little and also some of her other articles within the year.<\/p>\n

We will also keep you up to date with her upcoming book and we really do hope that you will be as interested as we are by her peculiar approach of both, Hip Hop and Philosophy.<\/p>\n

<\/em>Article written by Benjamine Weill and translated from French to English by Isa Nahila S-Bigini<\/em><\/p>\n

First below you will find her text in French and then its translation into English.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avant toutes choses, je me dois de vous expliquer ma d\u00e9marche. Je me le dois tout d\u2019abord pour moi-m\u00eame, car charit\u00e9 bien ordonn\u00e9e commence par soi-m\u00eame. Surtout, je sens bien que j\u2019ai l\u2019intuition de cette d\u00e9marche qui m\u2019accompagne depuis si longtemps, mais pas tout \u00e0 fait le raisonnement.<\/p>\n

Comme, mon cher directeur dit souvent \u00ab\u00a0 l\u2019intuition, c\u2019est l\u2019intelligence qui fait un bond\u00a0\u00bb, et puisqu\u2019il m\u2019a incit\u00e9e \u00e0 \u00e9crire, \u00e0 me remettre \u00e0 cet exercice fastidieux et sublime, je ne pouvais pas ne pas le citer d\u00e8s les premiers moments de cet \u00e9crit\u2026 Toujours est il que dit comme \u00e7a, cela risque de ne pas vous parler, alors autant expliquer. Si l\u2019intuition, c\u2019est l\u2019intelligence qui fait un bond, c\u2019est que l\u2019intuition vise souvent juste, mais ne conna\u00eet pas les raisons qui l\u2019ont amen\u00e9e \u00e0 la conclusion dont elle s\u2019empare.<\/p>\n

Autrement dit, c\u2019est le raisonnement qui sous tend la conclusion qui est \u00ab\u00a0saut\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb. En ce qui me concerne ici, cela fait plus de 20 ans que j\u2019ai l\u2019intuition qu\u2019il y a quelque chose \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre, \u00e0 promouvoir sur un plan bien plus intellectuel que cela ne l\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9, dans le Hip-Hop. Mais c\u2019est aussi que j\u2019ai l\u2019intuition depuis que j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 le rap et la philo qu\u2019il y a des liens \u00e0 faire\u2026 Pire, je dirais presque aujourd\u2019hui que le Hip-Hop d\u00e9veloppe intuitivement des \u00e9l\u00e9ments philosophiques et existentiels qu\u2019il s\u2019agirait pour moi de reconstruire rationnellement. Ambitieux s\u2019il en est, ce projet, je le d\u00e9marre sans trop savoir ni par quel bout, ni par quel biais je vais le prendre, mais le rap comme la philo m\u2019ont prise chacun leur tour et simultan\u00e9ment, il est temps d\u2019inverser les r\u00f4les et de voir comment cette histoire d\u2019amour \u00e0 trois entre moi, le rap et la philo a vu le jour, et ce qu\u2019elle met en perspective\u2026<\/p>\n

C’est une des raisons pour laquelle, depuis que j’ai d\u00e9couvert l’un et l’autre, je n’ai eu de cesse d’essayer de faire des liens afin, d’abord, de donner une coh\u00e9rence \u00e0 ma propre vie. Il s’agit donc d’abord d’un besoin \u00e9go\u00efste de donner du sens \u00e0 mes propres \u00e9carts ou contradictions qui n’en sont peut \u00eatre pas.<\/p>\n

Cette musique je lui dois tout, ma vie et ma survie. Je l’ai d\u2019abord ressentie dans mes tripes avant de la penser. Je lui dois autant que je dois \u00e0 la philosophie. L’un et l’autre, m’ont tenu face aux moments difficiles, ils m’ont donn\u00e9 la force de continuer, la capacit\u00e9 de comprendre et ressentir quand je croyais que tout \u00e9tait mort en moi. <\/p>\n

Le rap m’a r\u00e9veill\u00e9e \u00e0 mon corps, quand la philosophie m’a ouvert \u00e0 ma capacit\u00e9 de penser. Et je n’ai eu de cesse de faire des liens afin de donner une coh\u00e9rence \u00e0 ma vie. Il s’agit donc d’abord d’un besoin de donner du sens \u00e0 mes propres \u00e9carts ou contradictions. Autrement dit, l\u2019un et l\u2019autre m\u2019ont permis de faire la jonction, le lien, la passerelle entre ces deux entit\u00e9s si souvent s\u00e9par\u00e9e dans la culture classique occidentale\u00a0: l\u2019esprit et le corps. Je ne parviens cependant pas \u00e0 me r\u00e9soudre \u00e0 cette opposition et je constate que la philosophie du corps est bien plus enseignante pour la pens\u00e9e que l\u2019id\u00e9alisme pure (vous savez celui induit par Platon et son fameux monde des id\u00e9es, seul monde r\u00e9el et digne d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat\u00a0!). De la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re, ceux qui ne voient dans le rap qu\u2019une simple expression pulsionnelle de jeunes en chien, se trompent totalement. <\/p>\n

Le rap parle de la vie, de l\u2019existence, de ses difficult\u00e9s et des questionnements que la vie d\u2019ici bas am\u00e8ne. Je sens d\u00e9j\u00e0 poindre l\u2019envie de vous dire qu\u2019il y a une dimension philosophique au rap et qu\u2019il y a quelque chose de hip-hop dans la philosophie, mais ce serait un raccourcit pour le moment, c\u2019est trop t\u00f4t\u2026 Nous verrons si nous arrivons \u00e0 le d\u00e9montrer. <\/p>\n

D\u2019autant que l\u2019un et l\u2019autre sont compos\u00e9s de branches diverses, de styles propres \u00e0 ceux qui les font et d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments sociologiques et culturels\u2026 Il n\u2019en demeure pas moins que l\u2019un et l\u2019autre et c\u2019est peut \u00eatre l\u00e0 leur point de rencontre, leur pierre angulaire, dans leur diversit\u00e9 et subjectivit\u00e9s aspirent \u00e0 une dimension quasi universelle. Tous les philosophes revendiquent faire LA vraie philosophie, toucher du doigt quelque chose du vrai, s\u2019inscrire dans un mouvement global qui touche \u00e0 l\u2019humanit\u00e9 toute enti\u00e8re. De m\u00eame, chaque rappeur revendique son style comme le seul et l\u2019unique et, comme les philosophes, se clashent les uns les autres. En philo, comme dans le Hip-Hop, la battle a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 de mise\u2026<\/p>\n

Enfin, l\u2019un et l\u2019autre s\u2019inspire de l\u2019histoire pass\u00e9e pour s\u2019inspirer, se d\u00e9velopper et repartir d\u2019une base d\u00e9j\u00e0 inscrite dans ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 dit, rapp\u00e9, pr\u00e9alablement. Ainsi, les crews Hip-Hop ont leur \u00e9quivalence dans les \u00e9coles de pens\u00e9es, les cuts et punchlines correspondent aux diff\u00e9rents \u00e9tapes du raisonnement logique et des courants se d\u00e9gagent sans jamais r\u00e9ussir \u00e0 se retrouver tant ils sont en opposition les uns et les autres. <\/p>\n

Ceci n\u2019est pas une \u00e9vidence quand on \u00e9coute les diff\u00e9rents discours sur l\u2019un et l\u2019autre et je sens bien que d\u00e9j\u00e0, certains sourient en me lisant, tant ce que je raconte peut sembler ridicule.<\/p>\n

English Translation <\/strong><\/p>\n

Before anything else I have to explain to you my approach. I do it first of all for myself, because well organized charity begins with oneself. Also I really feel that I have got the intuition of this approach that accompagns me since so long, but not completely its reasoning. <\/p>\n

As my dear Director says so often \u201cIntuition is intelligence making a leap\u201d, and as he encouraged me to write, to come back to this tedious and sublime excercice, I could not not mention him within the fist moments of this writing… Anyway said this way, this might not talk to you so better to explain. If intuition is intelligence making a leap this is because intuition often aims straight, but does not know the reasons that led it to the conclusion it is seizing. <\/p>\n

In other words, it is the reasoning that underlies the conclusion that is \u201cskipped\u201d. As far as am concerned this is over 20 years that I got the intuition that there is something to defend, to promote on a much more intellectual level than it has ever been done within the Hip Hop. But this is also that I got the intuition since I met rap and philosophy that there is a link to be made… Even further, today I would almost say that Hip Hop intuitively developps some philosophycal and exsistencial elements that would need to be rebuilt rationally by myself. Ambitious if it is, I am starting this project without knowing too much by which end or which means to take it, but rap as philosophy both grabbed me one by one and simultenously, it is time to reverse the roles and to see how this love story between us three (myself, rap and philosophy) was borned, and what it does put into perspectives. <\/p>\n

This is one of the reasons why since I had discovered both, one and another, I never stopped trying to make a link in order to first give a coherence to my own life. It is first about a selfish need to give a meaning to my own swervings or contradictions that maybe are not some.<\/p>\n

I own all to this music, my life and my survival. I first felt it in my guts before I thought it. I own her as much as I own to philosophy. One and the other stood front of me in hard times and gave me the strength to keep going, the ability to understand and feel, when I thought that all inside of me was dead.<\/p>\n

Rap woke me up to my own body when philosophy was opening my ability to think. And I constantly made links in order to give a coherence to my life. It therefore is first a need of giving a meaning to my own swerving or contradictions. In another words, one and the other enabled me to make the junction, link, gateway between these two entities so often separated within the Occidental classic culture: the mind and the body. I cannot however resign myself to this opposition and I note that the philosophy of the body is way more teaching for the thought than pure idealism (you know the one whom induced by Plato and his famous world of the ideas, only real world, and worthy of interest!). In the same way, those who see in the rap a single instinctual expression of young dogs are totally wrong.<\/p>\n

Rap talks about life, existence, its difficulties and of the questionings that life from this earth brings us. I already feel emerging the will to tell you that there is a philosophical dimension into rap and that there is something Hip Hop into philosophy, but this would be a short cut for now, that is too early… We will see if we will disassemble it.<\/p>\n

Accordingly to the fact that one and the other are composed of various branches, of styles peculiar to those who make them, and of sociological and cultural elements.. Nevertheless, one and another (and this is maybe their meeting point, their keystone) in their diversity and their subjectivity aspire to a quasi universal dimension. All the philosophers claim doing THE real philosophy, touching with the finger something real, subscribing to a global movement that touches the entire humanity.<\/p>\n

In the same way, each rapper claims his style as being the only one and unique, and as the philosophers clash one another. In philosophy as in Hip Hop, the battle were always normal… <\/p>\n

At last, one and the other inspire themselves from the past history to stimulate, develop and re-start from a base already inscribed in what has already been said, or previously rapped about. So, Hip Hop crews have their equivalences within schools of thoughts \u2013 cuts and punchlines match the different stages of the logical lines of reasoning, and some trends arise without never being able to meet each others so much there are in opposition with one another. <\/p>\n

This is not an evidence when you are listening to the discourses held about one or the other and I feel well that some might be smiling reading me, so much what am telling can seem ridiculous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
