Suprême NTM (or simply NTM) is a French hip hop group formed in 1989 in the Seine-Saint-Denis département. The group comprises rappers Joey Starr (born Didier Morville) and Kool Shen (born Bruno Lopès). Their six albums were released by Sony Music Entertainment. Their last album, "Suprême NTM" (containing the huge hit "Ma Benz"), enjoyed commercial success (800,000 records sold up to today), and is widely considered as one of the best French hip-hop albums ever.
The group takes its name from the French slang "NTM", an abbreviation for "Nique Ta Mère" ("Nique" being an aphesis of the verb "forniquer", "to fornicate") meaning "Fuck Your Mother". NTM is known for their hostility towards the police, violent lyrics, and legal battles with the French authorities. Their musical style is predominantly hardcore rap, although later albums include funk, soul and reggae influences.
The group is outspokenly critical of racism and class inequality in French society, and while their earlier music is violent, some of their later work, such as "Pose ton Gun" ("Put down your Gun"), is explicitly anti-violent.
In 1998, the group released its last album of original material under the NTM moniker, as both Joey Starr and Kool Shen started their own labels, promoting new bands and branching out in other fields such as the clothing industry (2High is Kool Shen's brand, Com-8 is Joey Starr's).
While officially the band still exists, and its well-known name was used in 2001 to promote a 'duel' album pitting the two label's artists against each other, Kool Shen was quoted in 2004 saying "on a fini avec NTM en 98" ("We were done with NTM in 1998").
The group is known for its gritty, dark and sometimes violent lyrics, as well as for the contrast between the two rappers' styles. While Joey Starr (also known as Jaguar Gorgonne and Double-R) has a relatively slow flow, aggressive lyrics and a deep, booming voice (which he sometimes uses to yell such as in "Pose ton Gun"), Kool Shen has a funkier flow as well as witty and rather melancholic lyrics.
"Untitled" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins, written by Billy Corgan. It was their final release and recording as a band before their breakup in 2000, and was not played live until the first concert of their 2007 reunion tour.
On November 29, 2000, just prior to the Pumpkins' penultimate show at the United Center in Chicago, Corgan debuted this song by presenting it to Q101 DJ James VanOsdol, saying that the song was recorded as a "sort of special see-ya-later song". Corgan, Billy. Interview with James VanOsdol. Aired live on WKQX. 2000-11-29.
Q101 gave away a single copy of the single that was given to them by Corgan. The single featured the artwork of Rotten Apples, their Greatest Hits album.
An official single was issued by Virgin Records in Europe with outtakes from the Machina/The Machines of God sessions as b-sides. There is only one known official mix of the song released on promotional acetate in the US known as the 'Pop Mix'.
Two music videos for the song were released. The first was an edited collage of footage of the band from 1988 to 2000, and was only released through television and online content providers in the late summer of 2001. A second one was released as a secret feature (easter egg) on the band's Greatest Hits Video Collection. The video simply features footage of the band recording the song at the Chicago Recording Company, the band's preferred studio. Stills from this footage were used on the cover of the European single. The video was directed by Bart Lipton and edited by Mark Imgrund.
Corgan stated that "Untitled" intentionally sounds more like the earlier Pumpkins of Gish and Siamese Dream, and that they could always produce music that sounded like their older albums, but chose instead to try to push their music in new directions.
Neither D'Arcy Wretzky nor her replacement Melissa Auf der Maur were present at the recording leaving only two of the three core members active in the band at the beginning and end, so bass duties were handled by James Iha, though Corgan can be seen working on the bassline in the aforementioned "Studio" video.
"Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)" is the third single by the Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan taken from their second studio album Still Not Getting Any....
"Sugar/Untitled" is a 12” promotional single from American pop singer Khanoda and features a new remix of the song “Sugar,” the lead single from his 2007 album, Fever +Fetish, along with the non-album track, “Untitled.”
A release date for "Sugar" is still to be determined.
The tenth, untitled track of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and the second to last track on their celebrated 1998 album. In the album's liner notes, the song isn't given a name, rather the track number "10." occupies an otherwise blank space. As such, the song is often referred to in a number of different ways, sometimes as "10.", sometimes as "Untitled", and sometimes simply as a blank space between quotations (" ").
The track is the second instrumental song on the album, after "The Fool". An upbeat, joyous jam of sorts, the song features enthusiastic electric elements, heavy percussion by Jeremy Barnes and a lead melody performed by Michelle Anderson on the Uilleann pipes, a type of bagpipe.
The beginning of the song contains a guitar part carrying over from the ninth song on the album, "Ghost" while the end of the song carries over into the final track on the album, "Two-Headed Boy Pt. Two".
