Doc Gynéco ((:dɔk ʒineˈko); real name, Bruno Beausir (:bʁyno boˈsiʁ)) is a French hip hop artist of Guadeloupean origin. His music is typically characterized as a ragga/rap style, that has found its fan base in France. Born in Clichy-la-Garenne, France on May 10, 1974, Beausir's mother was Caribbean and his father white. The latter left them in 1990, and partly as a result of this, Beausir was poor in his later teen years. ==Career== Doc Gynéco launched his career at the age of 19, writing a few tracks for the hardcore rap group Ministère AMER. After this rap group parted, Virgin Records signed him with the intent of converting his demos into an album in Paris. This project partially fell through; Doc Gyneco then agreed to leave for Los Angeles to work with a famous American producer, Ken Kessie. The result of this work would be ''Première Consultation'', released in April 1996, which received large media praise and huge success both in France and the world. Singles from the album include "Est-ce que ça le fait?", "Viens voir le docteur", "Dans Ma Rue", "Passements de Jambes", and "Né Ici". Two years later on December 1, 1998, his second album appeared in the shops, entitled ''Liaisons Dangereuses''. Although the main single -- "C'est Beau La Vie"—created with the help of a politician (Bernard Tapie) was a flop, the album still sold reasonably well and earned its author even more notoriety. In the spring of 2001, Doc Gynéco tried to come back at the front of the music scene after a few years of silence with his third creation ''Quality Street''. Guest stars on the album included the Wu-Tang Clan and Gregory Isaac. However, the single "Caramel", the first release from this new album, met little success. In August 2002, Doc Gynéco's 4th album, ''Solitaire'', came out. This last realization found its audience and gave Doc Gynéco the "Victoires de la Musique" award for "Best hip-hop/rap album of the Year". Singles included "Funky Maxime", "Frotti Frotta", and "Flash". A collection of his hit singles since the beginning of his career was released in 2004 (called 'Menu Best-of'). During 2006 the album ''Homme Nature'' was released. Like many French rap artists, his works caused controversy; he was criticized for demeaning the status of women. Not all critics characterized him that way, though; one wrote, "Unjustly attacked for misogyny, he is in fact capable of encapsulating complex poetic emotion into the crude language of a ghetto love song such as 'Ma Salope a Moi' - 'My Slut'."〔 〕 He has also been criticized for promoting drug use,〔 and dealing with other sensitive subjects (such as suicide in his song "Nirvana"). He stands apart, however, for rarely promoting violence in his works, something that had become a trademark for rap artists in France. He was part of a movement that popularized rap in the 1990s, along with groups such as 'IAM' or 'Suprême NTM' and took it to every home. His laid-back attitude, his style, as well as his appreciation, knowledge and involvement with popular or controversial subjects like football, sex or drugs all strongly contributed to his fame, particularly among France's adolescent population. Riding his popularity, his appearance in French television shows became regular, particularly at the start of the new century, using his appearance and style as a catalyst. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doc Gynéco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
