The son of a Congolese doctor, Kamini grew up in the French countryside in the small Picard village of Marly-Gomont, which inspired his hit single of the same name.
After having received his Baccalaureat, Kamini left his hometown to settle in Lille, where he works as a psychiatric nurse.
In 2006, working with some friends, he wrote the song "Marly-Gomont", which is a humorous recounting of the daily life in the rural French town and the difficulty of being a member of the only black family in the village. His music video, sent to numerous music industry giants on September 12, 2006, greatly amused the company employees.
The video was quickly put on air by French media, among them Fun Radio, Skyrock, and Contact FM. Kamini was also invited to appear on numerous prestigious French television programs, such as Journal de Jean-Pierre Pernaut, Le Grand Journal de Canal+, Cauet, Laurent Ruquier, and Direct 8. On December 1, 2006, Kamini appeared on the French show Star Academy, a French version of American Idol. He was profiled in December 2006 by Time as part of its Person of the Year articles on Internet-based content creators.[1]
Despite the huge success and instant attachment amongst the French for the sound of this "rural rapper", Kamini has nonetheless stuck with his job as a psychiatric nurse.
An album is scheduled for release toward for 2007 spring.
Un Petit Coup De Motherfuck
Kamini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Admettons...tant que ça plait
La musique porte sa plaie
Ridicule, au complet
Parfois du refrain jusqu'au couplet
Accoupler ces quelques mots
Qui s'il vous plait affinent le flow
Fin des rimes (bords??), place aux rimes en toc
***Refrain*** (x2)
Un ptit coup d'motherfuck (mother fucker !)
You bitch bitch mother fuck (Yeaaaah...)
You mother fucker name ...
Mais qu'est-ce ca veut dire ça ...
***************
Mais qu'est-ce ca veut dire ça
Jcrois bien qu'ça veut rien dire ça
Mais les américains ils disent tous ça
(bah on va dire comme les américains !!)
Bah j'fais comme ça...
Maintenant les paroles faut plus s'fouler
J'observe, j'vois sque scande la foule et...
Certains font des tubes à coup de "Eh oooh !!!"
Alors t'as la foule qui crie "Eh oooh !!!!"
Après la foule en a marre, bah ouais.. (ohh...)
Alors ils font un deuxième tube qui s'appelle "Eh aaah..." pour changer..
Y a pleins d'K-marrants (y est marrant K-marrant, ca rime avec K-Maro)
Après tout il fait son bizz, j'ai rien contre cet homme
J'demande simplement que personne ne s'étonne
Si tu crois que j'déconne
Bah tu feras dans ton froc
Comme tous ceux qui croient pas au ptit coup de motherfuck !
*** Refrain *** (x2)
YEAHHHH!! MOTHER FUCKER BITCH RIGHT NOW !!
Mother fucker bitch right now....
Mais qu'est-ce ça veut dire ça...
Mais qu'est-ce ça veut dire ça...
The lyrics of Kamini's song Un Petit Coup De Motherfuck are insightful in their satire towards the music industry's tendencies to create empty, meaningless songs that are simply a compilation of words that sound good together. The song's lyrics critique the emphasis on catchphrases, slang, and empty rhymes that lack true poetic value.
The song's title, Un Petit Coup De Motherfuck, translates to "A Little Kick of Motherf***er" which refers to the use of vulgar language and empty phrases used in the lyrics of many popular songs. Kamini questions the meaning behind these phrases, suggesting that they are used simply because they sound good, even if they lack any true meaning or substance. This is evident in the lines "Mais qu'est-ce que ça veut dire ça/J'crois bien qu'ça veut rien dire ça/ Mais les américains ils disent tous ça" which translates to "But what does that mean?/I think it doesn't mean anything/But the Americans all say it".
The song also criticizes the music industry's reliance on creating simplistic yet catchy tunes that have little value or longevity. Kamini notes that these songs will become repetitive and overplayed and that the previous year's smash hit is quickly forgotten. Despite the song being a commentary on the emptiness of modern pop music, Kamini still embraces the catchy phrasings and rhythm within his own lyrics, creating a self-aware meta-commentary on his own work.
