Un peu de rap Français

cynique = cynical (see-neek), or cynic when used as a noun. Nothing fascinating here.
c'est un cynique = he's a cynic
ne sois pas aussi cynique! = don't be cynical!

The word was almost begging to be misspelled by an emerging rapper, and.. guess what. Sinik recently released his debut album "La main sur le coeur" ("hand on the heart"). In a way, the opposite of "Le coeur sur la main" which is used to describe someone generous, always ready to offer his heart and who therefore carries it on his/her hand.

As far as the music goes, it's good, not always great (a song about a New Yorker going to work on the 150th floor of the WTC on 9/11 ??), but clearly worth a listen. My favorite has to be "Une époque formidable" ("Formidable times"), where the young rapper revisits his path to stardom.
Amazon.fr has some downloadable samples.
