René-Charles appreciation thread

Exactly, and I honestly don't think she minds the swearing. She knows very well how the hip hop/rap lingo is and I've heard Céline say the F word.

 

And as for myself, I couldn't care less for the swearing.

 

Yeah she even Said in one of the interviews that’s the rap culture so yeah she knows and she don’t have problems with it i guess

 

And i don’t care... lol i think it’s kinda funny.. Celine who don’t want to say the B word and RC is rapping about it haha

Maybe Celine swears at home? I mean I like to swear on my own time but can't at work... I think it's all the rap language.

He seems so angry.

Brendan Kelly has an interview with RC coming up. This is one of his tweets:

 

“At the end of our conversation just now, @BigTipMusic said to me: 'Hey are you actually going to do that? #263DaysofBigTip?' I said we might just do that. He said 'You better start working on it'. Day 1 coming in an hour. @DavidSRudin”

 

Um...cringe that he didn’t realize the #263daysofbigtip” was a joke?

[lyn]

haha god i so hope he's not going to become full of himself. he doesn't seem the type to.. nor does it seem like he'd be raised to.. but celebrity can mess you up

[Brandon]

Just because he is swearing every third word doesn't mean he wasn't raised right or he's a bad kid. It's probably the whole I'm a "rapper" persona he's going for. Shock value to get his foot in the door and distance himself from his mom's image perhaps.

noooo, you got it all wrong. He's definitely not trying to "distance himself" from Celine. he absolutely adores his mother and he's very proud of her. He publicly applauds her talent and praise her. He's a smart kid. He's more sophisticated than you think. He understands Celine is adored and respected worldwide and he loves that! Just because he's "showing his game" has nothing to do with Celine. this is the genre of rap and that's all it is. It's art, it's a show.

Maybe Celine swears at home? I mean I like to swear on my own time but can't at work... I think it's all the rap language.

Hahahaha, can you imagine Celine at home chewing and spitting out tobacco and letting lose the F-bomb every 2 words.

He seems so angry.

It's art, it's showmanship, it's the genre. He has nothing to be angry about, lol

[Brandon]

Also, is anyone else mildly uncomfortavle with his name being "Big Tip"? I don't know, it's just a little eh...

 

I don't think he meant it that way, but why Big Tip? LOL. I'm trying to think of reasons why.

 

Either way, his music is awesome and I love his style! He's so talented.

 

I wonder if the third song (newest one uploaded) was written by him?

Cuz he's a big tipper, he's rich ya know..

[Brandon]

RC the rapper.... Rapping about the tough, hard life he had growing up on the streets of Henderson, NV and the social injustices he grew up living with...

 

 

lol

[angelil78]

haha god i so hope he's not going to become full of himself. he doesn't seem the type to.. nor does it seem like he'd be raised to.. but celebrity can mess you up

 

From his tweets, I think he's is a little big full of himself.. I think he should tone it down a bit.

 

But he's still only a 17 year old kid so I let it pass

[scielle]

Well, here's the Brendan Kelly piece - http://montrealgazet...ip-a-big-secret

 

"René-Charles Angélil is not your average 17-year-old — his mother happens to be one of the world’s most famous pop stars. But he shares at least one trait with millions of other teenage kids: he wanted to do something without telling his mom about it ahead of time.

 

So he went and recorded two rap songs in his home studio, in the garage beside the family home in Las Vegas. He released them Monday on the streaming platform SoundCloud under his stage name, Big Tip, and he only got around to telling his mother about all this after the songs went to No. 1 and No. 2 on the Canadian SoundCloud R&B charts. His mother being Céline Dion.

Catwalks, which samples Toronto rap/R&B superstar the Weeknd’s Sidewalks, held the top spot on the SoundCloud chart on Thursday. His version of the Weeknd’s Loft Music was No. 2.

Since then, Angélil has released three other songs: Never Stop, The Apple and The Kid. He said it took him 15 minutes to write The Apple and 45 minutes to record it.

The release of the songs led to a highly unusual conversation at home with his mother on Wednesday.

“It’s kind of messed up, honestly,” Angélil said in a phone interview from his Las Vegas home on Thursday. “I played it to her for the first time (Wednesday). I just felt like keeping it on the low. But she loved it. She was just kind of stunned at first, because she’d never heard anything from me. It was kind of a weird conversation: ‘Ma, I’m No. 1 and No. 2 on the charts right now.’ She was like: ‘Why didn’t you tell me first?’ But she’s very supportive of my passion for this.”

Of course, Angélil could have used some of Dion’s music-biz contacts to get his songs out there, he said, but decided not to on principle.

“That’s way too easy,” he said. “My mom’s the greatest singer of all time and she’s got all these outlets. I could have been like, ‘Hey mom, I’m kind of into this music stuff, let’s do something about it.’ But I wanted to prove to myself that I’m able to do it. Not just because my mom is who my mom is. At the end of the day, that’s what matters to me the most: to make a name for myself.”

Angélil’s lyrics are clearly autobiographical; he raps about what it’s like to grow up in Vegas as the son of famous parents. (His father was Dion’s husband and manager, the late René Angélil.) Catwalks opens with the verse: “I ran out of tears when I was 16 / so your bulls–t don’t faze me / so many people wish they knew me … but I’m choosy … I’ve been living the high life, but it comes with a high price.”

“All my lyrics are very personal,” said Angélil. “I’m trying to do something here that no one has ever done before: it’s the son of one of the greatest singers of all time trying to be a rapper. If I was trying to be a real vocalist, that would make sense. But a rapper? All the lyrics are about my personal experiences.”

There is quite a bit of Auto-Tune used on the tracks, which has already led to no small amount of criticism online. The Apple, which he wrote this week, is a response to his critics, with some obscenity-laced words for the naysayers. It includes the lines: “The apple don’t fall far from the tree, so this is God sent … dropped two chart-toppers and they said it was cheesy.”

“It just drives me more,” said Angélil. “I kind of look for that. I’m scavenging the internet looking for people who are trying to bash me. I kind of get motivation from that. I want to prove these guys wrong.”

Angélil says he wants to do a full-length album, for which he’d consider working with a major label. And he won’t rule out the possibility of recording with his famous mom at some point.

“That would be very interesting, because we have two completely different styles,” he said. “I’d love to do that. That’d be very cool.”

The Big Tip moniker, by the way, is a nod to his skills on ice. He has played a lot of hockey, and it comes from a nickname he had a few years back.

“Second-year bantam, with my hockey team, I had the most tipped goals,” said Angélil. “It was insane. I’d go in front of the net, there’d be a shot from the point and I’d tip it and it’d go in every time. It was beyond belief. They just started calling me the Tip Captain.

“Then I started rapping and it was like, ‘I have to find a rap name.’ Now, everyone these days has ‘Little’ in their name. But I didn’t want to be ‘Little.’ I wanted to be ‘Big.’ So I was like, ‘Big Tip.’ I know it’s up for interpretation as well, but that’s where it came from.”"

Oh nice interview and I like that he did this without telling his mom, trying to be independent. I would love to hear more of her reaction but it's clear he's trying to keep her out of this as much as possible and I respect that with him.

 

And this is different from what Céline said, when she said that he didn't want to be on one of her songs but now he says that he would like to hmm

 

And good that he explained his nick name Big Tip.. I was really hoping it wasn't because he was showing off his money everywhere so I'm glad that's not the case

Oh never thought of it like that. I think most people's worry was that it was a crude sexual reference...

[Mynameiswhatever]

That's a really nice one!

It does seem that they are close and I love it that he called her the greatest singer in the world twice. He's very proud of her and it reminded me of something Rene would say.

[Dancing_Queen]

Still seems like the same level-headed kid to me, hope I'm not wrong.

 

I hope he's also told his mom about some of the criticism he's been receiving and she's teaching him healthy ways to cope.

 

One of the things that make Céline so exceptional is the way she's never really let people get to her (neither with praise or criticism).

If RC is serious about being in music, he needs to talk to her about this. I totally understand he'd want to get back at his critics (any teen would be the same), but it's not a good strategy in the long run.

Once you start seeing every critic as a 'hater'(almost unavoidable with all the trolls on social media), you'll end up without the ability to think critically about yourself. A trap too many celebs fall into.

 

He also needs to realize that these 'hits' are mostly because people are curious about 'Céline's son'.

If he's really curious about his own skills, maybe release something anonymously...the result might be a bit of a reality check. Not that he's bad (at all). But he might realize he's only one of many without the 'Céline connection'.

Totally agree with you and I was thinking the same.

 

Now probably most Céline fans that are active on social media checked out his song. But I really doubt most of them will continue to check out his music. So it's basically Céline fans that are keeping him on the charts right now or people interested in Céline.

 

So I guess soon he his popularity will drop a bit on Soundcloud but for him I hope not

Now the lead story on Vice's Noisey - https://noisey.vice.com/en_ca

(direct link: https://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/article/qvn4vq/celine-dion-soundcloud-rapper-big-tip-review)

 

Lots of other influential music press has picked it up too. I swear, he's getting more promo than his mom at the moment!

 

And these reviews are about as good as any in Celine's career...

 

Here's a fun one - http://www.laineygos...lebrityId=20285

 

Celine can certainly learn a thing or two from RC's social media escapades!

 

But I still can't believe she didn't even know util 2 days after the rest of the world!

(Celine, dear, you need to turn on your Twitter & Instagram notifications!)

I look forward to when they inevitably ask her about all this in interviews.

He said he would like to work with her sometime in the future, not now.

He knows where the money is coming from for him to live the high life.

Oh lol that must be something I don't understand since English isn't my first language. I just saw Tip as tipping big haha

I also thought of tipping big and i knew there was no "sexual" reference. I guess some people's minds are just in the gutter.

New article, with songs. I just found out he's Big Tip, lol. Good luck, kid.

RC's new track!!!

 

This World

 

growing up i was sheltered from the world, sheltered from the bad only saw jewels and pearls, living in mansions, g5s take flight, 17 unsatisfied despite, all the riches i own and the cars that i drive cuz the life that i live it takes more to get by, than some fancy #ss s*** and a bad #ss *CENSORED* i wanna make my own path with the rhymes i spit, my prides too high to live off my mommas checks, i try to make my image and y’all hate it from the get, go i think i need some geico to come insure me, cuz 15% of me is insecure and lonely, the boys back home still love me and they bump me, but no matter what they say they’ll never reassure me, i show up to school with a rari real fast, walk in the room and i still fail class,

cuz sometimes i just feel so lonely, and i just feel so weak and down, i just need someone to come and find me, cuz i don’t know, if i will ever make it in this world

[AtitanicfanofCelineDion]

Wow thats a real sad song.
