alot of french hip hop lyrics are built around reversing the first and last syllables of words (that's verlain)--sometimes i can figure it out, sometimes i cant--depends mostly on how long the string is--the more verlain in a string, the harder it gets for me (because you reach a point where you either know it or you dont and cant rely on context to decipher stuff).
but i am not sure about the clip. it sounded like a creolized french. verlain plus maybe elements from a north african dialect. hard to say. too much cheese.
