UK REACTION TO FRENCH RAP | ORELSAN - L'ODEUR DE L'ESSENCE (With Lyrics) | TWReactz 

I’m french but I really like the way you react about our songs. You are right in most of your interpretations about the meanings of sentences. You could maybe react to « L’enfer » by Stromae or « Peur de l’échec » by Orelsan, as said in a comment bellow :)

I’m really impressed by your knowledge about French politics, that was so interesting

C'est rassurant de voir une jeunesse intelligente et critique en Europe. J'espère que mon fils prendra le même chemin. Je pense que oui, il écoute Orelsan avec maman.

“Mongol” in French could also mean “dumb”-> to be a mongol = to be dumb/ a dumbass. That’s why he uses mongol to describe both dumb people, and the ancient mongol empire.

Hey man, I'm french and I really enjoyed your react to L'odeur de l'Essence. This is the first video I'm watching from you, and I've watched several reactions from different youtubers, but you're the only one that I've watched that actually looked to see what the speech was about behind the lyrics. You're also well informed about the situation here in France, and you brilliantly tackled the context in Orelsan's rap. Keep it up man, you're doing an amazing job !

Can you react to « spécial » - Laylow feat Nekfeu and Fousheé please ?

Maybe you would like "Tout va bien", it's another song about social problems and Orelsan exposes his own vision. I think that "Défaite de famille" is the best song to react because it's totally unexpected 😁

For me Orelsan is the best french rap. Skread the guy who produces the sound is a fucking genius. Listen to all the albums because the most populars sounds is defined for the auditory of radio.

You should react to « Suicide Social » by Orelsan (it’s an old song but he talks about the society and its problems , I think you would like it too)

You're better than most part of the react-youtuber in france 😅 You listen and try to understand the lyrics even if it's not your language. I see that you're are really involved on all the reaction you do on your channel and I really like that !

I m french and i really loved this video, your comments are really smart reflexioned and best than a lot of french streamer!! You should react to "manifeste" and "50%" , really crazy (at least, listen for you!!) Thanks and continue like this!!

I was surprised at first because you know a lot about France situation, so I check your chanel and I saw why, you are british, not american 🤣 It's so refreshing to see that, I'll go see your other reaction.

Merci de faire ça promo en Angleterre chez nous c est une des meilleures références du rap mainstream.

Mongols in french, additionnally to being a civilization is also an insult meaning "idiot". So the 4 first time in mentionnes it it is to be taken as "idiot", and then he links it with the fall of civilization of the actual "Mongols" on the last sentence

I'm french and I thanks you for this amazing react video ! Orelsan is for me the best French rapper because his songs are true and real about France like "L'odeur de l'essence" who give some of all negative points in our country. This new album Civilisation contain lot of amazing songs like "L'odeur de l'essence" or "Civilisation" who denounce too the France problems !

Goosebumps after watching your smart reaction. You dig into the lyrics & I love it! Subscribed ✅

dude frankly bravo I am French and the quality of your video is impressive by the way I live in the city of Orelsan 😉

Orel is a fucking genius! This Song is a masterpiece! Love to see reactions to This Song when the drumkit starts everybody start shaking heads... Greatings from Portugal!

Hi, I'm French and I love Orelsan and this sound too. He always knows how to be fair and good in his lyrics, we recognize ourselves in his lyrics. Thank you for your reaction, I'm pleasantly impressed by your interest and your knowledge of French politics!

Orelsan is FIIIIRE Great reaction video TWReactz, you got most of it prety well

Thank you for the vid, I’m French and you made me discover new songs that’s unexpected! Although it’s a pleasure to hear your pov as an English person Have a nice day :)

His last album is incredible you have to listen to it with the lyrics, you're gonna definitively love it !!

Very good stuff right here young mate, you're aware enough to actually be able to comment this generational (to be) song. Cheers and keep it up, this is great you can be proud of this video.

Salut l'ami, encore un français 😁 Encore une fois ta vidéo est vraiment super, continue 💪 Personnellement je te conseil d'écouter sur le même album, Civilisation, Baise le monde et Manifeste. Il y a "note pour plus tard" que tu devrais aimer aussi Force et courage à tout le monde 🤙

Yeah 🔥 Orelsan is a great rapper You should react to "Peur de l'échec" or "Realsan" but he made too many incredible songs so there are many others

fire video 🔥 love from france man!

Mate ! As a 32 yo guy, I'm so happy to see young guys like you having such interest for politics even for whats happening in other countries, analysing so deeply a lot of stuff. That's really nice. Keep going ! Cheers from France.

Really enjoyed your reaction, very smart and on point!

Great reaction! Thanks :) And that's one more like towards another Orelsan's reaction from you (and a new subscriber ;) )

Realy cool reaction man ! You seems to realy enjoy and it's good to see ^^ Good job 🔥

great react, thanks you. I'm impressed how good your knowledge of our french politic is.

I’m french too. I really like your reactions. You should react to “suicide social” and “tout va bien”

Hey dude! Just suscribed to your channel, love your openmindness and I am quite impressed by how much you know about French politics! Keep going man, you rock!

That's so cool that you do a real "study" to understand between the line ! And also, you had understand every subtility of the text of this masterpiece

Great video mate loved it! One of your best video in my opinion. Love all your comments about the political stuff

La vidéo est carré !

Yo , your reaction is fire. I really like the way you react to the lyrics & video !! You def should react to his song " Jour Meilleur " , it's completely different but so so good. His song " Défaite de Famille " is a lot of fun too !!

Merci pour cette analyse 😉 vidéo très cool. 🇨🇭😉

Meilleur son de l’année a part ça selon moi

oy mate, shoutout from france, spent a couple years in southwest london, I miss the place, I hope everything's going well up here

Soolking Guerilla Classic!

Hi i'm french thank you for your Perfect react for this song you are so intelligent young men respect for that 👍

Brilliant video, I really enjoyed your comments, thanks for sharing!

I'm french, its funny how interested you are in French politics :) Really glad you got most of what he said ! Great video

You are very much aware of the French politics and news that's awesome ! I don't know if it's general knowledge in the UK and the media broadcasts a lot of French news or if you make the effort the care about it but that's genius ! French media don't have the same editorial line at all !

j'adore tes vidéos continue comme ça

I'm from France and precisely from Caen (OrelSan's city) and it's really great that you really analyse the lyrics and you understand them really well

L’autre chanson de Orelsan qui est magnifique c’est manifeste !! Mais le sens et la traduction risquent d’être compliqué… il y a aussi : suicide social, Tu vas aimer ;) le terme mongol était précisément utilisé il y a longtemps pour désigner les personnes trisomiques, c’était un terme plutôt vulgaire, en référence au fait que ces personnes ont souvent les yeux un peu bridés… c’est un terme insultant, et avec le temps c’est devenu une expression insultante pour désigner une personne stupide , dénuée de sens , limitée… ici il l’utilise comme un clin d’œil qui ferait un parallèle entre les mongols ( idiots) qui finiront disparus comme certains empires , nous , français, , aimons jouer avec le sens des mots , et ça rend très compliqué, même avec certains francophones qui n’ont pas l’habitude… ici , cette chanson est une bombe , pleine de sens et de jeux sur les clichés et les codes …

Good reaction. I follow.

for informations "mongol" is also a french expression to say "Idiot"

as a french guy, it is very funny to see the vision you have on France and actually it isn't wrong i guess x)

I love Orelsan's "Des histoires à raconter"

If you want an other song of orelsan you got "note pour trop tard" to the fact and you can listen "casseur flowters" it's a group of musique with orelsan and one of his BFF (one of the best song are "inachevé"

Man, it's really nice to see a young man with such a critical eye and knowledge of the politics of a neighboring country. Mongol is a french word for stupid/dumb. He makes a parallel between the stupid people who vote, lead us, to whom we give weapons (the cops), and the fall of an empire like the Mongols and others like the Mayans and the Greeks. Check "notes pour trop tard" in another style. In this song he talks to a version of himself when he was young and it's beautiful!

Man love you’re videos ! You really should do a reaction on Laylow or even Alpha Wann !! Thanks bro, you’re doing great !

i just discover you , and i like it !

React orelsan scuicide social

13:36 About choosing the lesser evil, in french in politics we have an idiom as well: " voter utile" (useful voting)

You have to react to Orelsan "Suicide Social" . The lyrics of that song are incredible

I love orelsan so much 😭

Hello England .. we love you too bisous from France 🇫🇷

Thanks to take the time for doing a proper analyse of the lyrics... You should try "suicide social" from orelsan..

i can propos u some french song here : - enfer by stromae - reve bizarre by orelsan ft damso -trop beau by lomepal -ne me ramene pas by lomepal U will like it as much as i like ur contant☺️

If you like strong deep rap you should react to "Lettre à la République" or "Banlieusard" by Kerry James.

orelsan est le meilleur en france mais il est pourtant détesté par la majorité !!! good job for this réactions guy

Comme chansons d'Orelsan il y a "Suicide Social" (c'est un peu comme une référence des sons d'Orelsan), dans laquelle il reprend tous les codes de la société pour les remettre en question (certains l'ont accusés d'homophobie a travers cette chanson, il faut comprendre qu'il prend le point de vue de quelqu'un qui va se suicider et qui critique absolument tout le système et toutes les catégories de gens, c'est le principe du personnage qu'il a créé), ou encore "Plus rien ne m'étonne", qui est plus ancienne. Sinon, il y a "Athéna", une chanson d'amour qu'il a écrite, ou dans un autre registre, "Ils sont cool", dans lequel il délire avec un ami. J'aime aussi beaucoup "Elle viendra quand même" qui parle de la peur de la mort, et surtout, il y a "Notes pour trop tard" qui une masterpiece (il donne des conseils aux adolescents). Comme autre rappeur qui sont assez impliqués politiquement, il y a aussi Nekfeu, une légende du rap français. Je te conseille d'en écouter quelques unes de lui, "Nique les clones" par exemple. Merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos, elles sont géniales et j'aime beaucoup avoir ton point de vue ! Love from France

On February the 11, French Music awards (Victoires de la musique) will take place. Orelsan has 4 nominations. In 2018, he won 3

He explained before in the song that "Mongol" are actually cops

Good react and of course orelsan président!!!

I think the track "Manifeste" which is just before "'l'odeur de l'essence' on the album's tracklist is the most political song of the album.

The world diserve to listen and understand this song

If you really love orelsan. You must react to the all of album. you'll really like it and pass a good time for sure 🔥

Hello guy. I have just discovered you at the moment. I enjoyed your reaction and the way you have to explain it. I am French. Sorry for my English. I can encourage you to listen : Suicide social.. The last song of its second album. Keep goes on bro

you have to listen to suicide social of orelsan. an incredible crescendo performance

You should absolutely react to "Baise le monde", same artist, same album, same kind of heavy message, in that track he's mastering sarcasm and revealing some truth about the kind of thinking humans have right now in this era, it's funny, it's catchy, it's relevant, it's one of the best rap i heard since couple of years in France (if you ommit the darkside of French rap, independant rap, which we never talk about)

Very good video !!! 👍👍👍 Orelsan have greats songs - suicide social - san - du propre - défaite de famille (very good videoclip production...) Wait for your next orelsan react...

Yo love your react. Mongol is a french expression to say that someone is stupid .

Mongol is an insult in French, it means something like dumbass. In the sentence "we will fall like Mongols, like Egyptians, like Romans, like Mayas, like Greeks", he underlines the civilizations' collapses. You should react to "Peur de l'échec" by Orelsan. Your analysis is so pertinent, continue like that !

Hi I'm French and I love your videos. It would be cool if you reacted to Orelsan's "la quête"

He said « to please the mongols » because in France that has a double meaning, it’s also a slang word to call someone an idiot. Mongol can be an idiot basically, it depends how you use it contextually lol

Do more orelsan réaction ✨

4:42 haaahaahaha totally right 😭😭😭

You just have to push the play button on an old good "Raelsan" a lil bit old fashioned but really not older in the Sound itself

Very cool vidéo !!!!!

🔥

You can also watch his film « comment c’est loin » (he is the main actor and the realizer of this film ) and his documentary available both in amazon prime , you will get more context about his complete story :)

At the beginning, you can see Skread (Orelsan music producer and friend ), then Clément Cotentin (Orelsan 's brother, sport reporter who made a 6 parts tv show about his brother' s career begining, On amazon prime), also Ablaye, his producer and friend

je suis morte comment tu prononce "l'odeur de l'essence" MDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hi. I'm french so excuse by advance my poor english. Your react is really great and I'm impressed with your knowledge of the social problems of our country, with the non-choice between two evils that we face every five years... I write this comment to try to explain you why he says "mongols" in his lyrics. In France, a lot of people used the term "mongolien" to insult someone. It's a slang word for Trisomic people. A nasty way to say that someone is dumb. In the 80's and 90's, this insult was very popular among the youth. In his song, Orelsan say "mongolien" for insult and used the common abreviation "mongol". But he also used the word "Mongol" to talk of the Mongol empire. To be clear, when he says that we give weapons to mongols, he talk about dumb cops. You can replace "mongols with dumb everytime, except when he say that we will fail like mongols. In that only line, he talk about the great Mongol empire who fall, like the Romans or the Egyptians. For the Greeks, he refer equally of the Greek empire and the Greek country in one sentence. Hope I helped you understand the true meaning of the lyrics. Bye.

“yeah you guys are kinda fucked” I laughed so hard cause we are

" rêves bizarres " orelsan ft damso you will love that

You should definitely react to « l’enfer » from Stromae. It’s a song talking about mental health, depression and suicide. When it was release in Belgium all the psychologue had like a huge amount of new appointments because Stromae had help so much to accept our mental health

In french "mongol" is the name of a disease, it is a pejorativ word. When we say "mongol" it's means stupid.

Macron and LePen are like "Poison" or "Death" lol

12:20 Mongol veux aussi dire bête il parle aussi de ça quand il dit "entourer de mongol" ect ^^

12:19 Mongole in French is a civilization but also an insult which means "stupid"

for subtitles I think you can use reverso but otherwise it’s great as a video, thanks

Yo you should react to more bronx drill artists like cblu, dthang (kay flocks cousin), Set da trend,

4:30 Nostradamus. Macron vs. Lepen, yeah you right haha

i man ! im french and if u want nice song go "orelsan sucide social" that song is crazy
