In 2018, when the Blues had just won the World Cup, rapper Vegedream released a title called “Bring the cup home”… which literally became the anthem of this victory with more than 450 million views on YouTube and who made the country dance for months. A song with a catchy rhythm, in which the artist thanks the players of the France team by giving a little nod to the performance of each of them.
Four years later, and despite the defeat of the French team on December 18 against Argentina, Vegedream once again thanked the players of the French team for their remarkable career. If it leaked overnight on social networks, the song “Merci les bleus” was officially released this Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at midnight. If he had been working on it for days, Vegedream chose to cover the background of the 2018 song with the same rhythm and only changed the lyrics. The rapper does not fail to thank Kylian Mbappé, Dayot Upamecano or even Antoine Griezmann for their prowess on the ground.
“Thank you blues”: a song under fire from critics
If the French were impatiently awaiting this song, the first listening obviously did not cause the same euphoria as in 2018. Could it be the defeat of the Blues that makes internet users bitter? Many are those who criticize the rapper for not having “assured” with regard to the lyrics and the rhythm… On Twitter, we can thus see that the song is not unanimous:
The sound of Vegedream is really bad we deserve the defeat
