Coach of C’Chartres Football (N2), Jean-Pierre Papin gave his name to the new anthem of the club of Eure-et-Loir, interpreted by a rapper from Chartres, Semoo Parazit.
“Zero pips, I’m Chartrain, zero pips, like Papin! ” It is one of the lines of the refrain of the new hymn of C’Chartres Football, currently in National 2 and trained since summer 2020 by the famous Ballon d’Or Jean-Pierre Papin, or JPP.
Papin, it is also quite simply the title of the song whose clip was posted on YouTube at the end of June and which totals one month later. over 14,000 views.
In the video, visible below, we can also see JPP laughing and making a few passes with the interpreter of the hymn, a rapper from Chartres whose stage name is Semoo Parazit.
He who presents himself as a small local artist from Chartres did not expect at all this interest from the local but also national media, with the sports daily The team : “I am pleasantly surprised!”
“It wasn’t meant to be an anthem”
It is he who is at the origin of the project. This football fan, originally from the Beaulieu district in Chartres and supporter of the city club, was watching a report on JPP and C’Chartres Football one day. “Seeing a friend, Pape Barry, the goalkeeper, appearing on TV and rubbing shoulders with Jean-Pierre Papin”Gave him the idea to do“a sound that incenses”The Ballon d’Or 1991.“For me he is a great man, a monument!”
“I wanted to give it to a friend in the locker room to play it on his colleagues. But it wasn’t meant to be an anthem”, He says. Pope Barry actually spoke to the club’s governing bodies, who then asked if Semoo was capable of doing an anthem.
“Able ? Yes maybe, I never did!“He laughs then. He accepts the challenge and takes six weeks to write, edit, mix before playing the club management, who validated the song.
“Like a kid”
There remained then to make the clip, a moment “incredible”For Semoo. “I saw Papin on the fields making papinades, acrobatic returns I saw him lift an entire country … And to see him with us, near, in Chartres in a place that I frequented when I was very young, frankly I did not believe it!”
“I bought myself the 1991 Ballon d’Or!“, Likes to say the rapper who admits to having been”like a kid with Jean-Pierre Papin. ” When the clip was shot, “you see me smile like a baby, you can see all my teeth!”, he has fun.
He describes the Chartres trainer as “cool, sane, he’s a big joker. He respects everyone, he doesn’t look down on anyone.”If JPP is of course the headliner, the players and young licensees also participate in the clip, to give a very collective image of the club which also already encourages all its supporters to sing the anthem.
