The stars of the baccalaureate 2022

It’s official ! The 2022 baccalaureate exams are now launched. And no doubt gave their all to try to get this famous diploma.

This Wednesday, June 15, Terminale students were working by the way on the philosophy exam. And this year, the real stars of this review are… the rappers.

Surprising tho it may seem, more and more young people are using artists’ punchlines to embellish their copies with quotes.

A practice that no longer seems to surprise teachers in this period of baccalaureate 2022. In a recent interview with Le Monde, Benjamine Weill, speaker in philosophy and rap specialist, therefore evoked the relationship between these two fields.

The young woman explains that she is passionate about “the archaic and almost visceral aspect […] There is also the rhythm, the BPM, this something which produces an echo in the body, which touches on meaning and even almost on an erotic dimension”.

“Rap, and the hip-hop movement in general, acts as a movement that says, ‘I exist, I don’t want to stay in the place I’ve been assigned.’ The rappers claim, without necessarily being committed in the political sense, “ she then adds.

And if a rapper is not a philosopher, he still has things to say. For Benjamine Weill, Lefa, Casey and even Damso constantly wonder about the world around them. So that it is quite possible to use their thoughts for the 2022 baccalaureate.

” Today, cite a rap piece in your copy is no longer a problem. But be careful how you quote. The quotation can only come in support of an argument, not become the argument itself”.
