Back before b-more and mashups and Kanye, there was Cuizinier. Part of French outfit TTC, he branched off to compile mixtape series. His first one, "Pour les filles" volume 1 dropped in 2005 and was produced by Orgasmic (also from TTC). He was one of the first producers to chop up dance (especially eurodance) tracks and mix them into rap beats. The tape included the volitile song "j'aime bouger ça" that inspired Yelle and GrandMarnier to use the same formula and sample 'Short Dick Man' to write 'Short Dick Cuizi' (which later became "je veux te voir"). This ignited the whole Cuizinier vs Yelle fued because her lyrics  about his...well....directly diss Cuizinier.

Drama aside, Volume 2 came out in 2006 to much acclaim, praised by Diplo and the Hollertronix circles. Cuizinier toured with A-trak and The Rub on the east coast, and the shelves of the turntable lab were bare where the mixtape had momentarily rested.

Now the 3rd tape is dropping in May 2008 on $tunts, which is the name of the new rap sub label of Institubes.

The guys in charge of press decided to take the guerilla approach and reveal clues and hints and give out exclusive Cuizinier related material every Monday on 'Cuizinier Mondays' @ genevanheathen.blogspot.com. They're already a few weeks into it, so you may be able to piece together what the album is gonna sound like, who it's gonna feature and what it sampled.......

This is another piece of the Cuizinier puzzle. Orgasmic is playing a track from the new mixtape....in an igloo.
