Snoop? That's kind of cool. MC Solaar is also cool. As is Laetitia Casta as well.

What does Snoop have to do with the Olympics?  Bad pick.

About the same as MC Solaar and Laetitia Casta - they're cultural icons.

Can't say I've heard of them.

I see there's a link where its mentioned that they're French celebs.
Fair enough.
On French rap, fun fact, English gets the very concept of rhyming from French. Before the Normans that just wasn't how we did poetry.
Yet I've still yet to hear a decent French rap song.

MC Solaar even had a song featured back in the day in Sex and the City.

I have heard of Casta. Never heard of this MC whoever.

Good indication how culturally out of touch we are now.  I have not heard of them either.

MC Solaar is 55. His song that made it into Sex and the City came out in 2001. That's not exactly cutting edge.

Laetitia Casta is a model who was a biggest in the late 90s/early 00s.

You might be surprised to learn I never watched sex in the city.

And in the late 90s, I was busy being a father of toddlers.

My cultural awareness ends at about the mid 90s, and then picks up again when my boys became old enough to bring me back into the loop.  But now it's all second hand.

Now if you want to talk about cultural icons of the 80s, I am there for you.

My defence of not knowing who the hottest brat pop star of today is, I wouldn't have known their equivalent when I was 20 either. I was too busy being into things that were good.

Far out.

You said 'how culturally out of touch we are now' and I was pointing out 'now' is more than two decades ago in this instance.

It's significant cultural icons for France, not the US-UK axis of celebrity.
