The Minist\u00e8re AMER (Action, Musique Et Rap) is a French hip hop group from Sarcelles, consisting of the rappers Passi and Stomy Bugsy (both of whom are also major solo artists in the French hip hop scene), DJ Ghetch, and the producer\/manager Kenzy. The group is also associated with other major French hip hop artists such as Doc Gyneco and Hamed Daye. The group’s name means \u00ab ministry of action, music and rap \u00bb. Also \u00ab amer \u00bb means \u00ab bitter \u00bb.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1989, Futur members of the Minist\u00e8re AMER created the association AMER. Founding Members are Stomy Bugzy, Passi, Hamed Daye, Kenzy, Moda, DJ Desh and were soon joined by DJ Ghetch. In 1991, they officialy formed the group. The same year they signed with the independant Label Musidisc and realised their first EP \u00ab Traitres \u00bb.<\/p>\n
\nThe second album, 95200, came out in 1994 and was widely praised by the critics. Dog Gyneco joined the Group since this album. In 1995, their song \u00ab Sacrifice de poulet \u00bb, which appeared on the soundtrack to the film La Haine, provoked the French Minister of Interior, Charles Pasqua, to attack the group in court. The court’s ruling forced the group to pay 250,000 francs of fines, but Mr Pasqua’s demands for banning sales of Minist\u00e8re AMER’s discs were unsuccessful. However, radio stations were reluctant to play their music after this incident, and the only station who continued to do so was Generation 88.2, an underground parisian station dedicated to hip hop music.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1996, members or Minist\u00e8re AMER focused on their solo carreers. Stomy Bugsy realised two solo albums (Le Calibre qu\u2019il te faut and Quelques balles de plus) which sold more than 300 000 copies. Passi\u2019s album \u00ab Les Tentations \u00bb sold more than 400 000 copies. Doc Gyneco is the most successfull one, selling more than 800 000 copies of his first album \u00ab Premi\u00e8re Consultation \u00bb.<\/p>\n
\nMembers of Minist\u00e8re AMER were immensely popular and changed from their hardcore and provocative style to songs that try to federate people.<\/p>\n
\nIn parallel to their to success, they created the mythic Secteur \u00c4. Eventhought they had solo carreers, they kept collaboring on each other\u2019s albums .<\/p>\n
\nStarting 1998, Minist\u00e8re AMER\u2019s members announced their comeback. They started working on an album in 2004, but only one song got out on the internet, \u00ab Le Colis \u00bb.
\nIn 2006 they worked with Johnny Hallyday on a track called \u00ab Le Temps passe \u00bb about time spent in Jail.<\/p>\n
\nStomy Bugsy announced Minist\u00e8re AMER\u2019s comeback in 2014 on his Twitter. The information was quickly confirmed by Passi. To celebrate the twentieth birthday of the album \u00ab 95200 \u00bb, the band got back together for one night only at the Olympia, Paris, on september 22nd 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
