Ever wish someone would just tell it like it is? In La Vérité, French rappers Lomepal and Orelsan play the role of brutally honest friends who refuse to sugar-coat failure. Over a sharp, bouncy beat, they roast a deluded artist who mistakes persistence for talent, hype for greatness, and empty bragging for originality. Their message is simple: flattery will get you nowhere, and sometimes the kindest act is a harsh reality check.
Throughout the track, the duo dismantles every excuse their target invents, from fake street-cred stories to inflated sales numbers. Each cutting line warns listeners about the traps of ego, blind loyalty, and copy-paste creativity. By the final chorus, the phrase “dis la vérité” (tell the truth) rings like a mantra, urging us to value authenticity over comfort and to welcome criticism as a path to real growth.
