1
LTW: Larry, Laurent, Les Twins.
HST: *laugh*
LTW: Not on purpose.
HST: Let's start from the beginning. Since how many time you're dancing?
LAU: We never started.
LAR: We never started. It grows with the teeth.
HST: *laugh* ok. Can you tell me when you danced in a thing called "the dancer", in Switzerland. Have you participated in it? A big show, I've seen your name "Les Twins". In Switzeland, Zürich
LAU: Maybe, yes, yes.
HST: A big thing.
LAU: Oh, yes, yes.
HST: With Samsung.
LAU: Yes, yes. A show, where all dancers had to make their own show to be selected. And we were guests. And there were Roy and John who came to see us dance in Zürich. That was beautiful.
HST: And there were Russel Simon. Was it a good event?
LTW: Oh yes, it was good, beautiful.
LAR: I didn't know I was awaited that much.
HST: It was crazy.
LTW: Oh, yes, yes.
LAR: In less than 3 weeks, we had 3 millions views.
2
HST: How have you experienced "Marrakech du rire" last year (french comedy event in Marrakech).
LAR: 1st ""Marrakech" and not the last.
LAU: You have to know that as french citizens?, even if we do a lot of things, lots of shows in front of lots of people, every days, in lots of different countries, being on stage with so many good comedians, so funny as we are talented as dancers, pffff (like omg). And Jamel Debbouze (the host of this event), he improvised, cause nothing was prepared.
HST: And at the end, you have performed your show. I liked it lot by the way, even if my favorite one was WOD in USA (world of dance), it was beautiful.
LTW: We had a new one in the last WOD.
HST: When I saw you in "Marrakech du rire", I wondered how it had been rehearsed.
LTW: No it was not rehearsed, it was improvised.
LAR: The only thing that was rehearsed was us on "uni-wheel", cause it was difficult to ride with djellaba, not to ride on it. It was the only thing we rehearsed. They said: "come, make a dance, a little bit battle", that's all that have been said. Maybe we also talked to each other and said let's do this and that, but we didn't tell each other when doing this and that... Jamel knows how to improvise.
3
HST: How have you experienced KOD (hip-hop competition)?
LAU: How to say that you have won a battle 12-0 in the final and didn't go through/made it?
LAR: We have won against canadian, japanese, chinese...
LAU: That's not important, whatever country, it could be anyone in front of us, in France or anywhere. When Criminalz comes, it's not for laughing. We do choregraphy, everyone do his own improvisations...
HST: Hard question: Is it "criminalz and les twins" or "criminalz..."
LTW: It's definitively Criminalz for this one.
HST: Cause here you danced with 2 of your "babies". Waydi, you've known him when he was young, and so Booboo.
LAR: I want to tell that's our babies from day one. But they made what they became, on their own.
LAU: There must be a beginning, a motivation, but after...
LAR: And i'm proud to be in their crew, i'm proud they could beat me in a battle just like in "Fusion concept" where they beat us with Rochka.
LAU: I'm proud to be the one that they feel well with, so they can improve. We improve every day as well.
LAR: I'll be always here for them.
4
HST: Do you remember when you enter Criminalz? Who let you in? Loïc?
LAU: No one let us in, we created "Criminalz Hip-Hop", "Criminalz B-Boy" was already existing
HST: I know, I remember.
LAR: 15 b-boys, no standing dancers.
HST: I remember well.
LAR: We were the first standing dancers.
HST: But how the combination of the 2 happened (b-boys+standing dancers)?
LAR: We met Loïc...
LAU: Xavier!
LAR: Xavier and Bessi invited us to a battle at Ecouen-Ezanville (a town in 95 department). So we thought, why not doing something...
LAU: "Les Twins" started to be known, so we put Criminalz a bit everywhere, at Le Havre (town), at all big b-boy battles.
LAR: They opened us b-boy battles, we opened them... (standing dancers battle).
5
HST: Have you ever meet again brothers of Les Twins vs Les Twins?
LAU: Aaaaah, you were there!
LAR: He was there.
LAU: Since that battle, I never met them again.
LAR: Never, I don't even know what they became.
6
HST: You're big moment in France was "Juste debout" 2008.
LAR: Yes, right
LAU: ?
LAR: Jay'Z in "Stade de France", "Niggas in Paris".
GIRL IN THE BACKGROUND: I was there. It was awesome.
LAR: When we pulled out the french flag, we had a big...
HST: This is a pride?
LAU: Yeah, we are artists, we open a door for all dancers in the world to show them that you're not here to dance for the artist, but to be invited to dance with the artist.
HST: I understand the idea.
LAR: We just wanted to prove, and maybe people didn't understand well. You could have done a lot of things for years... but we have brought that thing that when you walk in the street with your parents or sister or whoever and people stop by and say "you're one from Les Twins". Do you know a lot of Justin Timberlake dancers? No, you don't .
HST: I do not know any.
LAR: Even if (they dance?) for years.
HST: Maybe Billy Crawford.
LAR: Billy Crawford cause you know...
HST: I know some few names maybe...
LAR: I talk about people in the street, they don't say "oh you dance for Mariah Carey", you know what I mean. But for us, they stop by all the time and say "oh, you're the one from Les Twins right ; you danced for Beyonce, I Saw you ; Oh, you did the TV show, you did 'Incroyable talent'..." (english in the text), people stop by and...
HST: Is this thing only happen when you're together or...
LTW: Even all alone.
7
HST: Where do you live? in Los Angeles?
LAU: Las Vegas.
LAR: New York.
HST: You don't live together?
LTW: Of course we're always together.
LAU: It's useless to have a house, we're always touring.
LAR: He comes in my house when he's in New York and I come to his house when I'm in Vegas.
HST: You never invited me in your home little bastards.
LAR: We're waiting for you... Beeboo (?) also didn't come.
HST: I remember one time you told me you were living nearby Dr Dre.
LAR: Yes for 6 months (in LA?).
8
HST: I heard a music track, which I loved, with "Maître Gims" (french singer). I was wondering, how they thought about you for the music?
LAU: It's been a while now that "Maître Gims", "Sexxion d'assaut" (Maître Gims band) and artists all over the world follow us cause they're just like us, they watch videos on Youtube, they watch "performers". And we like to choose people to work with. We always refused to work in France. You know why cause you were there, when we were rejected by a lot of people.
HST: And for a long time.
GRL: After "Incroyable talent" show...
HST: They talk more about the underground. That's how they made themselves known.
LAU: And that's what motivate us to build our empire somewhere else. And now we have it, to see all these french people looking after us and say "i need you for..." and us to answer "no thanks".
HST: The most loyal for you is always Playmo.
LAU: Of course, of course. Playmo always has very good ideas to have peacefull and normal life as a Parisian. Cause you never have to forget that you're Parisian. But me, I'm not Parisian, I'm from Sarcelles (town).
HST: ?
LTW: Sarcelles.
LAU: So we met a lot of rapper but I said "I choose the one I work with". And the one who "punch-line" the most is "Maître Gims". He does hip-hop, african music, he "matches" everything.
HST: But it's weird...
LAU: I showed him what I could do, I rapped in front of him.
HST: Ok, I was just wondering cause I thought it was weird he thought of you...
LAU: First "Maître Gims" wanted me to dance in his video-clip. On the phone, I told him : "I'm not a dancer anymore, I make music". He answers: "what are you talking about, I want you in my clip?". I said: "we have to meet to understand each other". We met in the studio (done).
LAR: That's life.
LAU: So if you don't know, he's (or we're?) signing with Timbaland. Our album is almost done, the tour starts in 2 weeks.
9
HST: Are you still human? Cause in France, you know a bit everyone, the community.
LAU: I'll say that the community knows us more than we know them today, cause we've been so much mediatized, that today, the people in the hip-hop community think "no, Les Twins don't dance anymore".
HST: No!
LAU: Look, before "Fusion concept", people were talking a lot, and now that we're...
HST: "Fusion concept" was killing it, I loved it.
LAU: And if during another "Fusion concept" or "Juste debout" I'll hear people talk again... We did KOD, we shut mouths up... again.
HST: I was there.
LAU: And it will be like that every year. Regardless the artist I'll become, I have one foot in the underground and one foot in the media. Cause I need, not to prove to people, but to prove to myself that my kids "criminalz" have to understand, that they will not be able to beat myself. It's also a fight to see my brother dance so good every day. It's a ladder. Waydi, Booboo, it's a ladder. We can't say: "he's number 1, I'm number 2", no, no.
10
HST: Ok, but do you still have time to train seriously?
LAU: We don't train.
LAR: In fact we never trained.
HST: You say you never train, but when I look at "Juste Debout 2008", you were so connected, so fusional, it's unbelievable.
LAR: That's what happened, and that's why we passed out a bit afterward. We had a "fusion", it only happened maybe 3 times in our life. If you look closer "Juste Debout" videos.
LAU: Also in the last Beyoncé, Rio de Janeiro.
LAR: Yes. ...When I started dancing, on the second run… The choregraphy was not prepared at all. That's why I stopped dancing. That's why I standed up, I looked up, and Laurent came. And then it just happened by itself, without choregraphy.
GRL: No one can see it!
HST: When you have 14 000 people in front of you, it better not be visible.
11
LAR: Without going to far, and like you said, why we have good heads on our shoulders? Thank God, we still have our family.
HST: Yes you have a sister.
LAR: We have 8 sisters, 10 brothers.
LAU: 9 in mom's house (?).
LAR: We take care of nephews and nieces.
LAU: We're the younger ones.
LAR: We give food, you know what I mean. If you can interview Waydi and Booboo, ask them how we take care of them. You can ask Diablo when he was "down", look at what he became when he came to us, in New York. In his heart he's still a "criminalz", he never leaves the crew.
LAU: We were with him 2 weeks ago in New York. Ask him how it was.
HST: How you took care of him you mean?
LAR: Reginald, same. He has the fighting spirit, and we still take care of him. People who will say "you have changed", it's because...
LAU: People like that have nothing to do with us.
LAR: Wait brother! They say "you have changed". But what do I do, basically, I work to stay the same?
HST: Of course not. I know you have hearts, I have no doubt about it. What I mean is, are you able to stay human, cause you go out with stars now. Beyoncé and Jay-Z, where do people like us meet them?
LAR: The only people I talk about that, are the people that can listen to it. It's just like someone who wants to work in a bank and cannot see money without steeling it. So you will not work in a bank. If you know who you're dealing with... I will not hide myself, if you want to be part of my life, I'll say "listen, there's some new stuff coming, I prefer not to talk about it right now".
LAU: We give less our phone number.
HST: I'm not even sure to have it myself, even if I'm a good friend of yours.
LAU: You're not the guy with whom we go out, you're not the guy with whom we talk for hours, but we sure want you. And you feel it, you see it.
HST: My relationship with you is a bit different.
LAU: Till we're young.
HST: I feel the love between us, (?) from a long time ago.
LAU: The few people that followed us before, are the same that follow us now. And that we appreciate the most. We're here for you. For example, if you ask us something, if you say "i have something tomorrow".
HST: You came for me one day! You did me the honour, in a school.
LAR: Yes, you asked us and we came.
LAR: Especially schools.
LAU: And we would still doing it, whatever we earn, just for a "presence". We're here you know.
12
HST: But when you're with some Jay-Z or Beyoncé. You're not Jay-Z or Beyoncé's dancers, you're a "addtionnal benefit" (?) in the show.
LTW: We're the featuring.
LAU: It's a featuring "Les Twins". They call my name on stage, "yo give it up for Les Twins".
LAR: They have 15 dancers (girls).
LAU: There are 200 dancers in whole tour.
LAR: Yes but there, there 15 dancers (girls), back-dancers. You will always see, for example even at the end, say (Beyonc) "give it up for my bands", the musicians.
LAU: Missy Elliott.
LAR: "give it up for the mamas".
LAU: Busta Rhymes.
LAR: "give it up for my crew".
LAU: Dr Dre.
LAR: "and give it up for my dancers", the dancers come on stage. "And please make some noise and give it up for Les Twins!!!" and after "Make some noise for Jay-Z". You know what I mean? There are 3 names: Jay-Z, Les Twins and Beyoncé.
13
HST: One thing I didn't understand: how they call you, they saw you on videos?
LAR: It's been 2-3 years she was looking for us.
HST: Beyoncé?
LTW: Yes, 3 years that she was looking for us.
LAR: She was very surprised when she saw us.
HST: How did that happen?
LAU: She found us in the street.
GRL: She casts you?
LAU: No, we never auditioned, never in our life.
HST: No she wanted them, there were no audition.
LAU: Just like Missy Elliot... Let me tell you a true story with Missy Elliott. Missy Elliott said herself, when she saw us, she was annoyed, the first day she saw us... She was searching for us for 2-3 years and did not find us, and that's how my life is crazy... Her, who knows a lot of dancers in the world, she was asking for us to all these dancers, and they said "no I don't know them". And they all know us!!! They come to Paris to battle against us, in Russia, Spain, everywhere... and you say you don't know me! Larry and I freaked out. Missy said "I asked all my dancers, everyone, to find you, and when I saw you with Beyoncé, (omg) I broke my TV!!!". Bam! She broke her TV! She said her foot stay stuck in her television.
LAR: She waited for someone to come and help her.
LAU: …just to tell you: artists are human but when they want something they have to have it. After, if they don't know how to get it, cause we're in a fake world... My life is a movie, a horror movie from where I always come out alive.
HST: In USA, there are always 3 names that come when we talk about choregraphic movies, it's always: Luigi, (Klaus?)... Now, do they think about you even if you're French and not (?)...
LAR: It's funny that you say that cause...
LAU: You're not supposed to say that.
LAR: You're not supposed to say that. There's a beautiful following/thing that will come this year.
LAU: In about 2 months.
HST: A movie?
LAR: Yes.
LAU: We know what we do best.
LAR: We separate things from each other ... (?). You know that we always ... (?)
LAU: There's (?) fashion, there's dance (hip-hop and all), there's music.
LAR: We rap and sing.
LAU: And there are movies.
LAR: And movies. We're on 4 jobs that we separate from each other.
LAU: Have you heard our music?
HST: I only heard one song, which I liked a lot, with "Maître Gims". I heard your tone of voice...
LAU: You have to listen only 2 of us.
HST: With only you 2. I thought I saw, but I will not give more information, I listened quickly, but I thought I saw you with some big artists, no joke.
LAU: Next single with T-Pain.
HST: Yes, next single with T-Pain, and it comes out in 2 weeks, right?
LTW: 2-3 weeks.
HST: So you're virtually on all "artistic tracks" (?).
LAR: We launched one sound that is called "You don't know me" on Soundcloud.
HST: Yes, I saw that.
LAR: We filmed it in black and white.
HST: I liked this one less, it's weird.
LAR: That's normal cause we had to do something to...
LAU: Take it out from dance side (?).
LAR: Yes, you have to take it out from dance side. People have to know that now they have to listen to Les Twins (music) instead of just watching a video (?). Now we release what we like, it's different.
14
HST: In France, we know who you are. But when you're in USA, in a event, are you the event of the event, even now?
LAR: Yeah, yes. Do you know that we have done "BET Experience Awards"?
HST: You have to explain to me.
LAU: "Black Entertainment Television".
LAR: There were only 2 french people on BET: Us and DJ Snake. And on the other side there were (?) Rihanna, DJ Khaled, (?), (?), all rappers. Look I'll show you...
HST: I believe you Larry. *laugh*
LAU: He believes you!
HST: Go ahead, with pleasure... And at that kind of moment, you invite your family, you mom, maybe.
LAU: No not really cause we're waiting for a bigger event.
HST: What do you want bigger than this?
LAU: The Grammy’s, the Billboard Music Awards.
15
HST: Ok. Are you in contact with big/known choreographers?
LAU: No we don't have choreographer, I do my own choreography, nobody tell me what to do.
HST: Ok, it was just to know.
LAU: I like creative people who have seen a lot of things, just like you or Playmo, or (Klaus?), people who can tell me what is wrong, and tell me if what I wanted to do is what you understood.
HST: I see, you're your own choreographer. Have you found your video Larry ot not?
LAR: *shows his video at BET on his phone* In fact you will maybe not understand, it's the new generation (not sure what Larry said here) 1st: (?), 2nd: Waydi, 3rd: (Janakis?)... (?) When you come with guy like (Janakis?). My mom knows (Janakis?)! He said: "I don't have move like him, but I respect him and thanks for what he brought and shout out for his twin brother".
LAU: Personally I adore respect cause it's always here. But I have the chance to have people around me that keep my feet on the ground.
16
HST: Ok, but does it bother you... cause I saw some things that maybe you don't see in France. Does it bother you when some people copy you?
LAU: No. Before it bothered you (Laurent talking to his brother)
LAR: No it's still bothering me. I even post something 3 days ago about that. What bothers me is that some people that copy us...
LAU: But we don't care, it's a compliment!
LAR: People that copy us in France is not a problem...
GRL: You're a model...
LAR: Cause they know who started it, who did what. And these people doesn't want to lie cause maybe they're jealous from each other (?). But I talk about people that do same things like us, dress like us, and say that they have created this movement. I'm sick of it.
LAU: Why are you sick of it?! Do you think that Michael Jackson was appreciated by dancers? Dancers come and show him their middle finger, and they were doing Moonwalk better than Michael? And Michael was looking at them and was sigh.
HST: Is there a "Les Twins copycat" phenomenon in dance in USA?
LAR: In USA?
LAU: Of course.
LAR: Worse/bigger than in France.
LAU: More in USA than anywhere else.
LAR: More in Japan than anywhere else.
LAU: Yes Japanese cause they are in every details, but in US, omg.
LAR: Yes, in USA, it's incredible. If they're not 2 together, it doesn't exist.
17
HST: You leaved France since...
LAR: 8 years ago.
HST: Yes, 8 years ago. Cause you have done lots of things. People see dance, but you're on a lot of different “tracks". Have you release all of your dreams?
LAR: No!
LAU: No!
LAR: We start this year.
LAU: We're just starting now in fact.
LAR: This year is when we had maybe the bigger contracts...
LAU: The bigger contracts of our career.
LAR: Of our career.
HST: You're talking about the upcoming movie and the music?
LAU: In fact, when you will understand what we are doing... and the music.
LAR: When you will see... We have done something very fresh and we don't want that to look like... the film to look like a film, we don't want pictures looking like pictures. And our video not just looks like a dance video. When you look at us dancing, even if you don't care about dancers… If me, I can make you feel something on Michael Jackson's song "Whatever happens", it means I can do more.
HST: Ok.
LAR: And if I still can impress him (Laurent)...
LAU: Of course.
GRL: Do you still impress each other?
LTW: Of course.
LAU: Now, it's been maybe for 1 month that I kill him (on dance).
LAR: 1 week.
LAU: No 1 month.
LAR: Ok, that's right, he goes directly to the point (?).
LAU: Oh shit.
LAR: But in emotion level, I kill him.
LAU: *seems to shake his head to say yes*
HST: The difference between you 2, is that one is an adult and the other is a dad.
LAR: That's it.
GRL: He (Laurent) has a stronger character...
LAR: He has a stronger character, but I think I have more my head on my shoulders than him and he has the "wacky" side that I need.
LAU: *seems not to be agree* Here you describe yourself no?
LAR: (I don't know?) cause it changes every time.
LAU: Ok, it doesn't matter.
18
HST: Do you still find, after all this years, you have this fusional side... But are there people asking for one of "Les Twins" without the other?
LTW: No.
LAU: It can happen, I'll be happy to see my brother in a project that I'm not in.
HST: Cause I have already seen one of you in a event without the other, in a battle.
LAR: Yes, yes in a battle...
LAU: He likes to dance without me.
LAR: No, that's not right.
LAU: It's been since "Juste Debout" that you like to dance without me.
LAR: No, that's not right.
ALL: *laugh*
LAR: He's a liar. *laugh*
LAU: If you look closer "Juste Debout", since I said to him "leave me alone". He gets back like that and sit down. Since that day...
HST: He keeps (...?)
LAU: (Houtson?) talked about (wanted people?)... and said "yes, Les Twins are good together but alone not"... (?) vs IC in final.
LAR: Yes I'm on final and IC cheated, I say it clear. Yes, that's right and he assumes it. He plays his music and sounds like noise comes out. Sounds like you can't hear the beat.
HST: I think that it was "DJ Bat" playing music at this time.
LAR: No his laptop crashed and IC put his laptop and his own sounds. Sounds that only IC can dance on it. I still danced on it, till one judge get up and said "what are these weird sounds?! put some sounds with beats and lyrics!". And after they put a hype sound and I defended myself but I was tired, after one week of battles. So, that's right I have done a lot of battle one vs one.
LAU: That's ok, that's some rungs (of the ladder).
LAR: That's only some rungs (of the ladder).
HST: I see. And the girls still see the difference between you two?
LAR: They better have to.
LAU: Not all of them.
LAR: Not all? I'm with someone me.
LAU: I mean in all our life.
HST: Cause I always see one of you with his girlfriend when he's on a event in France.
LAU: Oh yes, I have to. *with a silly voice*
LAR: It's me that bring my girlfriend.
LAU: No Larry, no.
LAR: You talk about what event? *talks to the host*
HST: KOD.
LAR: Thanks.
LAU: In fact (she can't make the trip?)
LAR: What a liar!
LAU: You talk about KOD?
LAR: KOD, she was there, and your girlfriend was not.
LAU: She was working.
LAR: Thanks.
HST: There were 2 events when I saw you with your girlfriend: KOD and "Sally sly". It seems to me she was there.
LAR: There it is.
LAU: (?) *laugh* No, it was not her.
LAR: Whatever, we don't always know what we do (don't remember), but my girlfriend just looks like that. *shows his brother*
HST: I see, you're always with him. So you have managers that manage you.
LAU: No, we manage ourselves. We have a lot of people working for us.
HST: But how you do for the contracts...
LAR: We have our agents, lawyers, assistants, but we don't have manager. We have a "team" for music (...?). It's huge team who knows... there's (?), the advertising, forum...
LAU: Everyone. Us, we pay. *laugh*
LAR: There's music, there's dance, there's "NEXT agency Paris", my agent whose name is (Saif Mahadik?).
LAU: (Saif Mahadik?)
LAR: Who is the boss of the agency, the president and supervise "Fashion week". And it's the same for movies.
19
HST: A question more personal about France: are there some dancers that you like today?
LAR: Yes, of course, only in Criminalz.
HST: But except Criminalz.
LAU: You have to know that we don't have good relationship with dancers. First of all, cause I hate dancers... of entire planet.
HST: He literally said that *laugh*
LAU: Yes, it's me, I always said that, you cannot contradict me on that.
LAR: Not the person.
LAU: Let me express myself please.
HST: Tell me.
LAU: I hate dancers for the only reason that they don't respect themselves enough. It's because of them and what they have done, and still continuing to do, that talented dancers don't earn money.
HST: You mean, they sell themselves for...
LAU: They sell themselves for nothing, or sell themselves to be on screen or whatever. And that's a thing, we never have been like that in our entire life. You don't give me what I ask you, I won't dance. You can ask someone else, but won't have me. And me, I know I'm special. If you know you're special, you work for, you make sure...
HST: I'm sure that to have Les Twins you have to have money.
LAU: You have to have money, but more important – "love".
LAR: Me, I want heart, I want heart. How many times we have done things...
LAU: For free.
HST: Even for me you have done it.
LAU: And I will do it again like I said. Some people have heart, some doesn't. Some people simply doesn't want to give money and say... (example) Superbowl with Beyoncé.
HST: Tell me.
LAU: At what level/point, can it make you feel disgusted to know that on 1500 dancers, only 4 were paid?
HST: Shit.
LAU: Just for being on screen with Beyoncé, you know what I mean. It's horrible. And it's because of that, that truly talented people won't earn money cause they can have 4000 people for free.
LAR: I prefer to be called for an event...
LAU: Earn 200 euros...
LAR: Stop, stop. "Yes, we make an event for this or that. And I really want you to be part of it, to be the "mentor" (?) and it will make all children smile..."
HST: The heart.
LAR: "And you pay?" "Oh, we don't have any money. It's just if you don't..."
LAU: If you know there's no money, you come you know, you don't care.
LAR: Let me talk, fuck. That I (go?). After you better not abuse of it.
HST: Of course.
LAR: But I know why I come...
HST: (?)
LAR: And now if someone call me and say: "Come, it will be great, there will be this and that, you will be paid 500 bucks". Man, keep your 500 bucks and your event too. If you have said "It is for free", I would come. You know what I mean. That's how I'm still "hip-hop".
HST: Ok, but you still didn't answer me if there are dancers... except the mentality part that I understand...
LAR: It's just the mentality of the dancers (they don't dream enough?).
HST: Is there any dancers that you like...
LAR: Of course,
HST: 1 name or 2.
LAR: Except Criminalz... I like a lot IC.
LAU: Me, I have a problem with him.
LAR: Why?
LAU: I don't know... I do not believe that someone who can make me feel so much envy, so much things when he's dancing and when he's not dancing I feel nothing.
HST: You mean his personality.
LAU: His personality. I have the feeling that I piss him off. When I'm around him, his presence tell me "get out".
HST: No IC is a nice guy, he's not the most...
GRL: (maybe the way he expresses himself?)
HST: He's not like a (Emeric?) or a Playmo (...?).
LAU: It's been for years (that I follow him?).
HST: I know, I know, of course... (?)
LAU: But it's been since we had a little trouble together. Since that day, I don't know it's...
HST: So your relationship with him is not very good. It must have an explanation between you 2.
LAU: Yes, maybe.
LAR: I get along well with him.
LAU: (?)
HST: So you didn't give me names. You (Larry) said IC. Do you (Laurent) have 1 name or 2?
LAR: I'm a lot "Bruce", cause I like...
LAU: Me too.
HST: Bruce Ykanji.
LAR: Yes, I'm a lot "Bruce", cause even with the "fashionable phenomenon" he will never change...
HST: He will be happy to hear that.
LAR: He already knows it. I have done some things for him, I think he knows it. "I put people on the table" for him... and when he asked for them after, it shows him how it costs really. "while me, I put it on the table very easily", however I don't work for Bruce, and even less for the JD (Juste Debout association I think). They have done nothing for me.
LAU: Bruce is us in one.
HST: But except Bruce.
LAU: Except Bruce, I like a lot "Yudat crew" cause they remind me the "Criminalz". Not even the Criminalz, what we are, what we do, but their determination, their ambition, the way they listen to music differently. And they are all creative.
HST: But you talk about "Yudat" 1st generation: Nickel, Yudat, Jimmy and Sam or the new generation?
LAU: 1st generation, not the new one. I talk about Jimmy, Samuel, Nickel... and Joker is on the new generation but he's really...
HST: Yes he's good, he's good, Joker is happy. And Taylor, do you know Taylor? (?) He's a little monster of (?).
LAU: I (...?) today's generation, the way they dance, I have the feeling they forgot the culture and what was created before cause their movements have no heart for now, enough heart to say... You know, a flip is nice but if it's not well placed...
20
HST: Are you feeling well in USA or do you miss France a little bit?
LAU: I can't live without Paris.
LAR: I can't live without being in Paris.
LAU: I can't live without Paris.
HST: Do you come back from time to time?
LAU: We came back today.
GRL: (?)
HST: Yes but you come back for 5 days and then go who knows where.
LAU: Yes we go back touring directly.
LAR: We go back touring. It's a source, I come back to breath, take my...
HST: Maybe you come back to see family, mom?
LAU: 1st day: Family, 2nd day: Money.
LAR: We have to give.
LAU: 3rd day: For sure I have to see all crew, to know what event and around what...
HST: (like?) Regi today, that kind of person.
LAU: Tomorrow, it's "Red Bull" for sure, cause I want to "slap" people. I was born like that, I can't stop myself
LAR: (?) in a battle.
LAU: And please can you ask Leeloo, whatever the circle, "b-boy", whatever...
HST: I'm not sure Leeloo will listen to me, because of our relationship. But if I post the video tonight, it will be out tomorrow, and everyone will hear what you have to tell. But apparently you want craziness at "Red Bull" tomorrow.
LAU: Yes, I hope people are ready, cause if I come to an event, first of all I come (dressed) to see people dance well, and I hope people on the sides are ready cause me, i'm...
21
HST: Have you seen all the artists that you wanted to, except Michael Jackson that is deceased? Cause you live in USA, you're in some places where you can ran into/meet some beautiful people.
LAR: We ran into/meet a lot of different people.
LAU: A lot of people that we like the most, and with whom we are in relation, and with whom everything is going well. It's Will Smith, Jim Carrey and Jackie Chan.
HST: Jackie Chan, I would love to see him.
LAU: It's precisely with him that...
HST: Cause Jackie mute? With the importance that I give him, and the importance that you give him, it's not the same compared of our age.
LAU: I understand absolutely.
HST: Jackie Chan is...
LAR: He's a legend.
HST: He's a legend.
LAR: (a living legend?)
LAU: Without special effects, he's just incredible.
HST: And his son is often with him, I don't know if you have already seen him.
LAU: Really?
LAR: No.
HST: His son is very interested by dance. At that time, he came at "freestyle session" to see people dancing.
LAR: No (no way)!
HST: Yes, yes. Ask him, he will surely know better than me. Last question and I live you alone: “today… you have a new performance?”
LAU: We create things everyday, we don't have a new show.
LAR: We have created the show in the plane.
LAU: Since we don't have an event to ask us to do... "How many minutes? 30 minutes? 1 minute? 15?" We plan...
HST: So you improvise a lot.
LAU: No, no, it's a show.
LAR: No, we create shows.
LAU: You will not know but for you it will be choreographed (?).
HST: I see. *laugh*
GRL: Do you still love to dance?
LAR: No, we hate it, we hate it.
HST: No, they like to dance that's how they earn money. But for now, they have more options in life, it opens perspectives.
LAR: We put a "+" than just dance.
HST: For a lot of people, you're a social success. Are you proud of it?
LAR: I'm very proud of it, very proud.
HST: But are you still pleasant with people? When a lot of dancers or people come and talk to you, are you still pleasant? Cause the relationship I have with you is different.
LAR: It depends... Whatever who you are... I'm not saying I'm important, but you can be no one or someone else, if you have a bad approach, you don't want to talk.
HST: Of course, I understand.
LAU: I give 2 different situations. This young lady that works here *shows the girl*, I came here (for...?), for you, for the team.
HST: Yes, today, for the team.
LAU: I came at the airport, and the last thing you want to hear after a show or at the airport is "taking a picture". She came and said "I'm really sorry, can I make a picture with you and your brother?". Ok, I say, no problem. But when I walk with my brother, and my sister who's between us, and there's people filming like that *shows his brother filming on the side*, that is very annoying. But this is happening every 2 seconds. But the worst is that… I'm the fan, Larry is me, my sister is here (near Larry/Laurent). The girl or the guy shoves my sister. *imitates the fan who put his hand on his shoulder and take a picture* At that moment you just want to kill the world.
LAR: They don't realize, so you can't be...
LAU: You can't be mean, but when you're mean or simply say "excuse me, hello, if I want to take a picture". And suddenly, you become the "demon".
LAR: Ok, "chill", you know what I mean.
LAU: We have a lot... sometimes, they're here and say "who do you think you are?!". And me to answer: "Sorry, but if I don't want to take a picture", I don't know maybe I feel ugly, maybe I ate cheese.
22
HST: In USA every time there's a big dancing project, are you contacted very often?
LAU: In the whole world!
HST: Yes, but as you are American... Do you have American nationality?
LAR: No, French.
LAU: "Sarcellois". (Resident of the hometown of les Twins near Paris, France.)
HST: He said "Sarcellois". *laugh*
LAU: Do you know what I say in English? And I swear I tell that on every TV shows. "Where you're from?" "Paris, Sarcelles, 95200". That's how you say: “95200”. (Number of department.)
HST: Ok, I understood that. I don't have your English level, but I understood that. *laugh* And I know that one of you two has a beautiful apartment in Los Angeles, near beach.
LAU: Aaaah.
LAR: It's over/finished.
LAU: It's over, we have better than that.
HST: Better than that?
LAU: You rise in rank. And that was not my apartment, it's just I was in a very, very good relationship with Dr Dre, who teaches us to love rap, hip-hop, how to improvise, how to be comfortable the way we dance as rappers.
LAR: Yes, it works fine, (we will see?) next month.
LAU: It works fine. (the music works...?)
HST: If tomorrow... Do you have a message for the new generation, the Criminalz?
LAR: For the new generation: "No time to not love another dancer (?). You have to love you cause nobody will".
HST: Last thing. Can you explain to the young people how it is hard. Cause they see you everywhere, but they don't know how the road was hard: "La Defense" (area of Paris = dancing in the streets), relations with people... it was hard.
LAU: It's very simple I tell you. It's not simple cause today we're "Les Twins", it's not easy to do or easy to tell. We're from Sarcelles, we're little black, we started like everyone, we never had dance teacher.
LAR: We have a very good coach.
LAU: We have a very good coach, who looked at us enough to tell us what was missing to us.
HST: Playmo?
LAU: Playmo Abibou Kebe. But after that, how many slaps/knocks you will take... You have to take some more and more, by all the biggest dancers that you like, (go to it?) with the biggest respect and be humble, (and you have to give the more you can at the training?). And all your problems, your happiness, what you eat, your life, your work, you put it in your dance.
LAR: Even the time.
LAU: Even the time. I have to know you, without you need to speak. When you dance, I have to know you. When you see someone dancing, you say "pffff", you feel this person is nice, cause you know her/his dance. You see someone dancing.
HST: There are 2 people, you have forget to mention. 1st one is (Emeric?) I think, he's close to you.
LTW: *smile*
LAU: (Emeric?), it's been a very long time I didn't see him...
HST: He is close to you, at least on what I know about you. 2nd one is Mathias.
LAR: Mathias, yes. Mathias knows it, we even...
LAU: I was very happy to see him at KOD.
LAR: We went at Los Angeles together.
HST: I saw him at KOD, yes. We don't see him on screen, but I know he was there. I met him at "Why not", where he told me.
LAR: Mathias, since day one, had always the role of "I can slap you in your face if I want". And at KOD, (?) that will not change anything. The only thing I saw at KOD that he never shows me, it was the "reason" and the “comprehension". In fact he understood that we were not just "fashionable phenomenon", he understood that we do what we do cause we have some people to feed behind. And for him, I think there's nothing better than family. Cause he still have (...?). The way he talks is so... People think he's arrogant, but he is so true, that it is impossible to hide. So, every time he will talk to you, don't be afraid to be educated again and again and again. And what makes me very happy was, in LA, after semi-final against Chinese, (?) and we had to choose between us for the one who will dance during the "additional round". (?) And (?) have done it. (?) Personally, I said "we have lost" (?) And Waydi opened up my eyes on it. (?) He said "you think we have won, but we have lost (...?) against chinese, we have lost" (?) And I realised, even if it's not our fault, cause Criminalz, 11-0 you know... (?) But to know that we had an additional round cause "lock" was not good or...
HST: Yes, the sum of everyone.
LAR: Yes. So I thought, we made a round. We were established at (?) hotel, on Hollywood. Very good hotel. I paid for all.
HST: Kof.
LAU: For 2 nights.
LAR: How many people? 22 I think.
LAU: Around 20.
LAR: I paid everyone bills, ok. I said, go ahead, I pay all, and I do that cause tonight we have to bleed (work hard)
LAU: We trained till 6 am.
LAR: Till 6 am. But listen, about Mathias. I said what I wanted to say. Mathias saw that. And Mathias came back on what I said, cause I was rejecting the fault on people. Yes, it's true, I'm like that, I say: "That is your fault, that is your fault". "Me I don't give a shit, personally I won this thing". "Why do I feel like that, why do I have to feel weak even if YOU have lose?" I was arrogant, I was "strict". And for the first time Mathias, we had... that's what I felt, maybe he didn't felt the same, but feeling that I was telling things just how it was... And he said: "First of all, I'm not agree cause blah blah blah, you won't do this, you won't do that, and accusing people". I said: "What! YOU say that! You, who yelled at us backstage cause we missed one step!" And then he said: "Ok, I understand your point of view".
HST: For the first time.
LAR: For the first time. And me, Larry, has never answered to Mathias... And for me, it's someone that is very strong.
HST: Of course, even for us.
LAR: I imitate him for years doing (?). I imitate him doing "hype" for years, till I understood I didn't know how to do... I always have the same people in my head: Abibou (Playmo), Mathias and Bruce.
HST: I see, the 3 references.
LAU: And Jackie Chan.
LAR: And Jackie Chan.
HST: And Jackie Chan that we, all 3, loves.
LAR: And Jim Carrey.
LAU: Jim Carrey, Will Smith.
HST: (?) Jim Carrey?
LAU: Yes, Jim Carrey, Will Smith.
LTW: *grimace*
HST: Ok, last word. Maybe it would be a word for Criminalz?
LAR: For Criminalz: We don't forget who we are
LAU: They are number one in the whole world. Wherever we will go, we will (destroy everything). And Les Twins open new doors for dancers. We are artists, the biggest and best athletes. Singers cannot be dancers, actors can't be singers, athletes cannot dance, but dancers "can do everything". (english in the text.)
GRL: Exactly.
LAR: "Think about it". (english in the text.)
HST: Ok, thank to both of you.

причесала, как могла, чтобы читающий глаз не устал)
1LTW: Larry, Laurent, Les Twins.
HST: *laugh*
LTW: Not on purpose.
HST: Let's start from the beginning. Since how many time you're dancing?
LAU: We never started.
LAR: We never started. It grows with the teeth.
HST: *laugh* ok. Can you tell me when you danced in a thing called "the dancer", in Switzerland. Have you participated in it? A big show, I've seen your name "Les Twins". In Switzeland, Zürich
LAU: Maybe, yes, yes.
HST: A big thing.
LAU: Oh, yes, yes.
HST: With Samsung.
LAU: Yes, yes. A show, where all dancers had to make their own show to be selected. And we were guests. And there were Roy and John who came to see us dance in Zürich. That was beautiful.
HST: And there were Russel Simon. Was it a good event?
LTW: Oh yes, it was good, beautiful.
LAR: I didn't know I was awaited that much.
HST: It was crazy.
LTW: Oh, yes, yes.
LAR: In less than 3 weeks, we had 3 millions views.
2HST: How have you experienced "Marrakech du rire" last year (french comedy event in Marrakech).
LAR: 1st ""Marrakech" and not the last.
LAU: You have to know that as french citizens?, even if we do a lot of things, lots of shows in front of lots of people, every days, in lots of different countries, being on stage with so many good comedians, so funny as we are talented as dancers, pffff (like omg). And Jamel Debbouze (the host of this event), he improvised, cause nothing was prepared.
HST: And at the end, you have performed your show. I liked it lot by the way, even if my favorite one was WOD in USA (world of dance), it was beautiful.
LTW: We had a new one in the last WOD.
HST: When I saw you in "Marrakech du rire", I wondered how it had been rehearsed.
LTW: No it was not rehearsed, it was improvised.
LAR: The only thing that was rehearsed was us on "uni-wheel", cause it was difficult to ride with djellaba, not to ride on it. It was the only thing we rehearsed. They said: "come, make a dance, a little bit battle", that's all that have been said. Maybe we also talked to each other and said let's do this and that, but we didn't tell each other when doing this and that... Jamel knows how to improvise.
3HST: How have you experienced KOD (hip-hop competition)?
LAU: How to say that you have won a battle 12-0 in the final and didn't go through/made it?
LAR: We have won against canadian, japanese, chinese...
LAU: That's not important, whatever country, it could be anyone in front of us, in France or anywhere. When Criminalz comes, it's not for laughing. We do choregraphy, everyone do his own improvisations...
HST: Hard question: Is it "criminalz and les twins" or "criminalz..."
LTW: It's definitively Criminalz for this one.
HST: Cause here you danced with 2 of your "babies". Waydi, you've known him when he was young, and so Booboo.
LAR: I want to tell that's our babies from day one. But they made what they became, on their own.
LAU: There must be a beginning, a motivation, but after...
LAR: And i'm proud to be in their crew, i'm proud they could beat me in a battle just like in "Fusion concept" where they beat us with Rochka.
LAU: I'm proud to be the one that they feel well with, so they can improve. We improve every day as well.
LAR: I'll be always here for them.
4HST: Do you remember when you enter Criminalz? Who let you in? Loïc?
LAU: No one let us in, we created "Criminalz Hip-Hop", "Criminalz B-Boy" was already existing
HST: I know, I remember.
LAR: 15 b-boys, no standing dancers.
HST: I remember well.
LAR: We were the first standing dancers.
HST: But how the combination of the 2 happened (b-boys+standing dancers)?
LAR: We met Loïc...
LAU: Xavier!
LAR: Xavier and Bessi invited us to a battle at Ecouen-Ezanville (a town in 95 department). So we thought, why not doing something...
LAU: "Les Twins" started to be known, so we put Criminalz a bit everywhere, at Le Havre (town), at all big b-boy battles.
LAR: They opened us b-boy battles, we opened them... (standing dancers battle).
5HST: Have you ever meet again brothers of Les Twins vs Les Twins?
LAU: Aaaaah, you were there!
LAR: He was there.
LAU: Since that battle, I never met them again.
LAR: Never, I don't even know what they became.
6HST: You're big moment in France was "Juste debout" 2008.
LAR: Yes, right
LAU: ?
LAR: Jay'Z in "Stade de France", "Niggas in Paris".
GIRL IN THE BACKGROUND: I was there. It was awesome.
LAR: When we pulled out the french flag, we had a big...
HST: This is a pride?
LAU: Yeah, we are artists, we open a door for all dancers in the world to show them that you're not here to dance for the artist, but to be invited to dance with the artist.
HST: I understand the idea.
LAR: We just wanted to prove, and maybe people didn't understand well. You could have done a lot of things for years... but we have brought that thing that when you walk in the street with your parents or sister or whoever and people stop by and say "you're one from Les Twins". Do you know a lot of Justin Timberlake dancers? No, you don't .
HST: I do not know any.
LAR: Even if (they dance?) for years.
HST: Maybe Billy Crawford.
LAR: Billy Crawford cause you know...
HST: I know some few names maybe...
LAR: I talk about people in the street, they don't say "oh you dance for Mariah Carey", you know what I mean. But for us, they stop by all the time and say "oh, you're the one from Les Twins right ; you danced for Beyonce, I Saw you ; Oh, you did the TV show, you did 'Incroyable talent'..." (english in the text), people stop by and...
HST: Is this thing only happen when you're together or...
LTW: Even all alone.
7HST: Where do you live? in Los Angeles?
LAU: Las Vegas.
LAR: New York.
HST: You don't live together?
LTW: Of course we're always together.
LAU: It's useless to have a house, we're always touring.
LAR: He comes in my house when he's in New York and I come to his house when I'm in Vegas.
HST: You never invited me in your home little bastards.
LAR: We're waiting for you... Beeboo (?) also didn't come.
HST: I remember one time you told me you were living nearby Dr Dre.
LAR: Yes for 6 months (in LA?).
8HST: I heard a music track, which I loved, with "Maître Gims" (french singer). I was wondering, how they thought about you for the music?
LAU: It's been a while now that "Maître Gims", "Sexxion d'assaut" (Maître Gims band) and artists all over the world follow us cause they're just like us, they watch videos on Youtube, they watch "performers". And we like to choose people to work with. We always refused to work in France. You know why cause you were there, when we were rejected by a lot of people.
HST: And for a long time.
GRL: After "Incroyable talent" show...
HST: They talk more about the underground. That's how they made themselves known.
LAU: And that's what motivate us to build our empire somewhere else. And now we have it, to see all these french people looking after us and say "i need you for..." and us to answer "no thanks".
HST: The most loyal for you is always Playmo.
LAU: Of course, of course. Playmo always has very good ideas to have peacefull and normal life as a Parisian. Cause you never have to forget that you're Parisian. But me, I'm not Parisian, I'm from Sarcelles (town).
HST: ?
LTW: Sarcelles.
LAU: So we met a lot of rapper but I said "I choose the one I work with". And the one who "punch-line" the most is "Maître Gims". He does hip-hop, african music, he "matches" everything.
HST: But it's weird...
LAU: I showed him what I could do, I rapped in front of him.
HST: Ok, I was just wondering cause I thought it was weird he thought of you...
LAU: First "Maître Gims" wanted me to dance in his video-clip. On the phone, I told him : "I'm not a dancer anymore, I make music". He answers: "what are you talking about, I want you in my clip?". I said: "we have to meet to understand each other". We met in the studio (done).
LAR: That's life.
LAU: So if you don't know, he's (or we're?) signing with Timbaland. Our album is almost done, the tour starts in 2 weeks.
9HST: Are you still human? Cause in France, you know a bit everyone, the community.
LAU: I'll say that the community knows us more than we know them today, cause we've been so much mediatized, that today, the people in the hip-hop community think "no, Les Twins don't dance anymore".
HST: No!
LAU: Look, before "Fusion concept", people were talking a lot, and now that we're...
HST: "Fusion concept" was killing it, I loved it.
LAU: And if during another "Fusion concept" or "Juste debout" I'll hear people talk again... We did KOD, we shut mouths up... again.
HST: I was there.
LAU: And it will be like that every year. Regardless the artist I'll become, I have one foot in the underground and one foot in the media. Cause I need, not to prove to people, but to prove to myself that my kids "criminalz" have to understand, that they will not be able to beat myself. It's also a fight to see my brother dance so good every day. It's a ladder. Waydi, Booboo, it's a ladder. We can't say: "he's number 1, I'm number 2", no, no.
10HST: Ok, but do you still have time to train seriously?
LAU: We don't train.
LAR: In fact we never trained.
HST: You say you never train, but when I look at "Juste Debout 2008", you were so connected, so fusional, it's unbelievable.
LAR: That's what happened, and that's why we passed out a bit afterward. We had a "fusion", it only happened maybe 3 times in our life. If you look closer "Juste Debout" videos.
LAU: Also in the last Beyoncé, Rio de Janeiro.
LAR: Yes. ...When I started dancing, on the second run… The choregraphy was not prepared at all. That's why I stopped dancing. That's why I standed up, I looked up, and Laurent came. And then it just happened by itself, without choregraphy.
GRL: No one can see it!
HST: When you have 14 000 people in front of you, it better not be visible.
11LAR: Without going to far, and like you said, why we have good heads on our shoulders? Thank God, we still have our family.
HST: Yes you have a sister.
LAR: We have 8 sisters, 10 brothers.
LAU: 9 in mom's house (?).
LAR: We take care of nephews and nieces.
LAU: We're the younger ones.
LAR: We give food, you know what I mean. If you can interview Waydi and Booboo, ask them how we take care of them. You can ask Diablo when he was "down", look at what he became when he came to us, in New York. In his heart he's still a "criminalz", he never leaves the crew.
LAU: We were with him 2 weeks ago in New York. Ask him how it was.
HST: How you took care of him you mean?
LAR: Reginald, same. He has the fighting spirit, and we still take care of him. People who will say "you have changed", it's because...
LAU: People like that have nothing to do with us.
LAR: Wait brother! They say "you have changed". But what do I do, basically, I work to stay the same?
HST: Of course not. I know you have hearts, I have no doubt about it. What I mean is, are you able to stay human, cause you go out with stars now. Beyoncé and Jay-Z, where do people like us meet them?
LAR: The only people I talk about that, are the people that can listen to it. It's just like someone who wants to work in a bank and cannot see money without steeling it. So you will not work in a bank. If you know who you're dealing with... I will not hide myself, if you want to be part of my life, I'll say "listen, there's some new stuff coming, I prefer not to talk about it right now".
LAU: We give less our phone number.
HST: I'm not even sure to have it myself, even if I'm a good friend of yours.
LAU: You're not the guy with whom we go out, you're not the guy with whom we talk for hours, but we sure want you. And you feel it, you see it.
HST: My relationship with you is a bit different.
LAU: Till we're young.
HST: I feel the love between us, (?) from a long time ago.
LAU: The few people that followed us before, are the same that follow us now. And that we appreciate the most. We're here for you. For example, if you ask us something, if you say "i have something tomorrow".
HST: You came for me one day! You did me the honour, in a school.
LAR: Yes, you asked us and we came.
LAR: Especially schools.
LAU: And we would still doing it, whatever we earn, just for a "presence". We're here you know.
12HST: But when you're with some Jay-Z or Beyoncé. You're not Jay-Z or Beyoncé's dancers, you're a "addtionnal benefit" (?) in the show.
LTW: We're the featuring.
LAU: It's a featuring "Les Twins". They call my name on stage, "yo give it up for Les Twins".
LAR: They have 15 dancers (girls).
LAU: There are 200 dancers in whole tour.
LAR: Yes but there, there 15 dancers (girls), back-dancers. You will always see, for example even at the end, say (Beyonc) "give it up for my bands", the musicians.
LAU: Missy Elliott.
LAR: "give it up for the mamas".
LAU: Busta Rhymes.
LAR: "give it up for my crew".
LAU: Dr Dre.
LAR: "and give it up for my dancers", the dancers come on stage. "And please make some noise and give it up for Les Twins!!!" and after "Make some noise for Jay-Z". You know what I mean? There are 3 names: Jay-Z, Les Twins and Beyoncé.
13HST: One thing I didn't understand: how they call you, they saw you on videos?
LAR: It's been 2-3 years she was looking for us.
HST: Beyoncé?
LTW: Yes, 3 years that she was looking for us.
LAR: She was very surprised when she saw us.
HST: How did that happen?
LAU: She found us in the street.
GRL: She casts you?
LAU: No, we never auditioned, never in our life.
HST: No she wanted them, there were no audition.
LAU: Just like Missy Elliot... Let me tell you a true story with Missy Elliott. Missy Elliott said herself, when she saw us, she was annoyed, the first day she saw us... She was searching for us for 2-3 years and did not find us, and that's how my life is crazy... Her, who knows a lot of dancers in the world, she was asking for us to all these dancers, and they said "no I don't know them". And they all know us!!! They come to Paris to battle against us, in Russia, Spain, everywhere... and you say you don't know me! Larry and I freaked out. Missy said "I asked all my dancers, everyone, to find you, and when I saw you with Beyoncé, (omg) I broke my TV!!!". Bam! She broke her TV! She said her foot stay stuck in her television.
LAR: She waited for someone to come and help her.
LAU: …just to tell you: artists are human but when they want something they have to have it. After, if they don't know how to get it, cause we're in a fake world... My life is a movie, a horror movie from where I always come out alive.
HST: In USA, there are always 3 names that come when we talk about choregraphic movies, it's always: Luigi, (Klaus?)... Now, do they think about you even if you're French and not (?)...
LAR: It's funny that you say that cause...
LAU: You're not supposed to say that.
LAR: You're not supposed to say that. There's a beautiful following/thing that will come this year.
LAU: In about 2 months.
HST: A movie?
LAR: Yes.
LAU: We know what we do best.
LAR: We separate things from each other ... (?). You know that we always ... (?)
LAU: There's (?) fashion, there's dance (hip-hop and all), there's music.
LAR: We rap and sing.
LAU: And there are movies.
LAR: And movies. We're on 4 jobs that we separate from each other.
LAU: Have you heard our music?
HST: I only heard one song, which I liked a lot, with "Maître Gims". I heard your tone of voice...
LAU: You have to listen only 2 of us.
HST: With only you 2. I thought I saw, but I will not give more information, I listened quickly, but I thought I saw you with some big artists, no joke.
LAU: Next single with T-Pain.
HST: Yes, next single with T-Pain, and it comes out in 2 weeks, right?
LTW: 2-3 weeks.
HST: So you're virtually on all "artistic tracks" (?).
LAR: We launched one sound that is called "You don't know me" on Soundcloud.
HST: Yes, I saw that.
LAR: We filmed it in black and white.
HST: I liked this one less, it's weird.
LAR: That's normal cause we had to do something to...
LAU: Take it out from dance side (?).
LAR: Yes, you have to take it out from dance side. People have to know that now they have to listen to Les Twins (music) instead of just watching a video (?). Now we release what we like, it's different.
14HST: In France, we know who you are. But when you're in USA, in a event, are you the event of the event, even now?
LAR: Yeah, yes. Do you know that we have done "BET Experience Awards"?
HST: You have to explain to me.
LAU: "Black Entertainment Television".
LAR: There were only 2 french people on BET: Us and DJ Snake. And on the other side there were (?) Rihanna, DJ Khaled, (?), (?), all rappers. Look I'll show you...
HST: I believe you Larry. *laugh*
LAU: He believes you!
HST: Go ahead, with pleasure... And at that kind of moment, you invite your family, you mom, maybe.
LAU: No not really cause we're waiting for a bigger event.
HST: What do you want bigger than this?
LAU: The Grammy’s, the Billboard Music Awards.
15HST: Ok. Are you in contact with big/known choreographers?
LAU: No we don't have choreographer, I do my own choreography, nobody tell me what to do.
HST: Ok, it was just to know.
LAU: I like creative people who have seen a lot of things, just like you or Playmo, or (Klaus?), people who can tell me what is wrong, and tell me if what I wanted to do is what you understood.
HST: I see, you're your own choreographer. Have you found your video Larry ot not?
LAR: *shows his video at BET on his phone* In fact you will maybe not understand, it's the new generation (not sure what Larry said here) 1st: (?), 2nd: Waydi, 3rd: (Janakis?)... (?) When you come with guy like (Janakis?). My mom knows (Janakis?)! He said: "I don't have move like him, but I respect him and thanks for what he brought and shout out for his twin brother".
LAU: Personally I adore respect cause it's always here. But I have the chance to have people around me that keep my feet on the ground.
16HST: Ok, but does it bother you... cause I saw some things that maybe you don't see in France. Does it bother you when some people copy you?
LAU: No. Before it bothered you (Laurent talking to his brother)
LAR: No it's still bothering me. I even post something 3 days ago about that. What bothers me is that some people that copy us...
LAU: But we don't care, it's a compliment!
LAR: People that copy us in France is not a problem...
GRL: You're a model...
LAR: Cause they know who started it, who did what. And these people doesn't want to lie cause maybe they're jealous from each other (?). But I talk about people that do same things like us, dress like us, and say that they have created this movement. I'm sick of it.
LAU: Why are you sick of it?! Do you think that Michael Jackson was appreciated by dancers? Dancers come and show him their middle finger, and they were doing Moonwalk better than Michael? And Michael was looking at them and was sigh.
HST: Is there a "Les Twins copycat" phenomenon in dance in USA?
LAR: In USA?
LAU: Of course.
LAR: Worse/bigger than in France.
LAU: More in USA than anywhere else.
LAR: More in Japan than anywhere else.
LAU: Yes Japanese cause they are in every details, but in US, omg.
LAR: Yes, in USA, it's incredible. If they're not 2 together, it doesn't exist.
17HST: You leaved France since...
LAR: 8 years ago.
HST: Yes, 8 years ago. Cause you have done lots of things. People see dance, but you're on a lot of different “tracks". Have you release all of your dreams?
LAR: No!
LAU: No!
LAR: We start this year.
LAU: We're just starting now in fact.
LAR: This year is when we had maybe the bigger contracts...
LAU: The bigger contracts of our career.
LAR: Of our career.
HST: You're talking about the upcoming movie and the music?
LAU: In fact, when you will understand what we are doing... and the music.
LAR: When you will see... We have done something very fresh and we don't want that to look like... the film to look like a film, we don't want pictures looking like pictures. And our video not just looks like a dance video. When you look at us dancing, even if you don't care about dancers… If me, I can make you feel something on Michael Jackson's song "Whatever happens", it means I can do more.
HST: Ok.
LAR: And if I still can impress him (Laurent)...
LAU: Of course.
GRL: Do you still impress each other?
LTW: Of course.
LAU: Now, it's been maybe for 1 month that I kill him (on dance).
LAR: 1 week.
LAU: No 1 month.
LAR: Ok, that's right, he goes directly to the point (?).
LAU: Oh shit.
LAR: But in emotion level, I kill him.
LAU: *seems to shake his head to say yes*
HST: The difference between you 2, is that one is an adult and the other is a dad.
LAR: That's it.
GRL: He (Laurent) has a stronger character...
LAR: He has a stronger character, but I think I have more my head on my shoulders than him and he has the "wacky" side that I need.
LAU: *seems not to be agree* Here you describe yourself no?
LAR: (I don't know?) cause it changes every time.
LAU: Ok, it doesn't matter.
18HST: Do you still find, after all this years, you have this fusional side... But are there people asking for one of "Les Twins" without the other?
LTW: No.
LAU: It can happen, I'll be happy to see my brother in a project that I'm not in.
HST: Cause I have already seen one of you in a event without the other, in a battle.
LAR: Yes, yes in a battle...
LAU: He likes to dance without me.
LAR: No, that's not right.
LAU: It's been since "Juste Debout" that you like to dance without me.
LAR: No, that's not right.
ALL: *laugh*
LAR: He's a liar. *laugh*
LAU: If you look closer "Juste Debout", since I said to him "leave me alone". He gets back like that and sit down. Since that day...
HST: He keeps (...?)
LAU: (Houtson?) talked about (wanted people?)... and said "yes, Les Twins are good together but alone not"... (?) vs IC in final.
LAR: Yes I'm on final and IC cheated, I say it clear. Yes, that's right and he assumes it. He plays his music and sounds like noise comes out. Sounds like you can't hear the beat.
HST: I think that it was "DJ Bat" playing music at this time.
LAR: No his laptop crashed and IC put his laptop and his own sounds. Sounds that only IC can dance on it. I still danced on it, till one judge get up and said "what are these weird sounds?! put some sounds with beats and lyrics!". And after they put a hype sound and I defended myself but I was tired, after one week of battles. So, that's right I have done a lot of battle one vs one.
LAU: That's ok, that's some rungs (of the ladder).
LAR: That's only some rungs (of the ladder).
HST: I see. And the girls still see the difference between you two?
LAR: They better have to.
LAU: Not all of them.
LAR: Not all? I'm with someone me.
LAU: I mean in all our life.
HST: Cause I always see one of you with his girlfriend when he's on a event in France.
LAU: Oh yes, I have to. *with a silly voice*
LAR: It's me that bring my girlfriend.
LAU: No Larry, no.
LAR: You talk about what event? *talks to the host*
HST: KOD.
LAR: Thanks.
LAU: In fact (she can't make the trip?)
LAR: What a liar!
LAU: You talk about KOD?
LAR: KOD, she was there, and your girlfriend was not.
LAU: She was working.
LAR: Thanks.
HST: There were 2 events when I saw you with your girlfriend: KOD and "Sally sly". It seems to me she was there.
LAR: There it is.
LAU: (?) *laugh* No, it was not her.
LAR: Whatever, we don't always know what we do (don't remember), but my girlfriend just looks like that. *shows his brother*
HST: I see, you're always with him. So you have managers that manage you.
LAU: No, we manage ourselves. We have a lot of people working for us.
HST: But how you do for the contracts...
LAR: We have our agents, lawyers, assistants, but we don't have manager. We have a "team" for music (...?). It's huge team who knows... there's (?), the advertising, forum...
LAU: Everyone. Us, we pay. *laugh*
LAR: There's music, there's dance, there's "NEXT agency Paris", my agent whose name is (Saif Mahadik?).
LAU: (Saif Mahadik?)
LAR: Who is the boss of the agency, the president and supervise "Fashion week". And it's the same for movies.
19HST: A question more personal about France: are there some dancers that you like today?
LAR: Yes, of course, only in Criminalz.
HST: But except Criminalz.
LAU: You have to know that we don't have good relationship with dancers. First of all, cause I hate dancers... of entire planet.
HST: He literally said that *laugh*
LAU: Yes, it's me, I always said that, you cannot contradict me on that.
LAR: Not the person.
LAU: Let me express myself please.
HST: Tell me.
LAU: I hate dancers for the only reason that they don't respect themselves enough. It's because of them and what they have done, and still continuing to do, that talented dancers don't earn money.
HST: You mean, they sell themselves for...
LAU: They sell themselves for nothing, or sell themselves to be on screen or whatever. And that's a thing, we never have been like that in our entire life. You don't give me what I ask you, I won't dance. You can ask someone else, but won't have me. And me, I know I'm special. If you know you're special, you work for, you make sure...
HST: I'm sure that to have Les Twins you have to have money.
LAU: You have to have money, but more important – "love".
LAR: Me, I want heart, I want heart. How many times we have done things...
LAU: For free.
HST: Even for me you have done it.
LAU: And I will do it again like I said. Some people have heart, some doesn't. Some people simply doesn't want to give money and say... (example) Superbowl with Beyoncé.
HST: Tell me.
LAU: At what level/point, can it make you feel disgusted to know that on 1500 dancers, only 4 were paid?
HST: Shit.
LAU: Just for being on screen with Beyoncé, you know what I mean. It's horrible. And it's because of that, that truly talented people won't earn money cause they can have 4000 people for free.
LAR: I prefer to be called for an event...
LAU: Earn 200 euros...
LAR: Stop, stop. "Yes, we make an event for this or that. And I really want you to be part of it, to be the "mentor" (?) and it will make all children smile..."
HST: The heart.
LAR: "And you pay?" "Oh, we don't have any money. It's just if you don't..."
LAU: If you know there's no money, you come you know, you don't care.
LAR: Let me talk, fuck. That I (go?). After you better not abuse of it.
HST: Of course.
LAR: But I know why I come...
HST: (?)
LAR: And now if someone call me and say: "Come, it will be great, there will be this and that, you will be paid 500 bucks". Man, keep your 500 bucks and your event too. If you have said "It is for free", I would come. You know what I mean. That's how I'm still "hip-hop".
HST: Ok, but you still didn't answer me if there are dancers... except the mentality part that I understand...
LAR: It's just the mentality of the dancers (they don't dream enough?).
HST: Is there any dancers that you like...
LAR: Of course,
HST: 1 name or 2.
LAR: Except Criminalz... I like a lot IC.
LAU: Me, I have a problem with him.
LAR: Why?
LAU: I don't know... I do not believe that someone who can make me feel so much envy, so much things when he's dancing and when he's not dancing I feel nothing.
HST: You mean his personality.
LAU: His personality. I have the feeling that I piss him off. When I'm around him, his presence tell me "get out".
HST: No IC is a nice guy, he's not the most...
GRL: (maybe the way he expresses himself?)
HST: He's not like a (Emeric?) or a Playmo (...?).
LAU: It's been for years (that I follow him?).
HST: I know, I know, of course... (?)
LAU: But it's been since we had a little trouble together. Since that day, I don't know it's...
HST: So your relationship with him is not very good. It must have an explanation between you 2.
LAU: Yes, maybe.
LAR: I get along well with him.
LAU: (?)
HST: So you didn't give me names. You (Larry) said IC. Do you (Laurent) have 1 name or 2?
LAR: I'm a lot "Bruce", cause I like...
LAU: Me too.
HST: Bruce Ykanji.
LAR: Yes, I'm a lot "Bruce", cause even with the "fashionable phenomenon" he will never change...
HST: He will be happy to hear that.
LAR: He already knows it. I have done some things for him, I think he knows it. "I put people on the table" for him... and when he asked for them after, it shows him how it costs really. "while me, I put it on the table very easily", however I don't work for Bruce, and even less for the JD (Juste Debout association I think). They have done nothing for me.
LAU: Bruce is us in one.
HST: But except Bruce.
LAU: Except Bruce, I like a lot "Yudat crew" cause they remind me the "Criminalz". Not even the Criminalz, what we are, what we do, but their determination, their ambition, the way they listen to music differently. And they are all creative.
HST: But you talk about "Yudat" 1st generation: Nickel, Yudat, Jimmy and Sam or the new generation?
LAU: 1st generation, not the new one. I talk about Jimmy, Samuel, Nickel... and Joker is on the new generation but he's really...
HST: Yes he's good, he's good, Joker is happy. And Taylor, do you know Taylor? (?) He's a little monster of (?).
LAU: I (...?) today's generation, the way they dance, I have the feeling they forgot the culture and what was created before cause their movements have no heart for now, enough heart to say... You know, a flip is nice but if it's not well placed...
20HST: Are you feeling well in USA or do you miss France a little bit?
LAU: I can't live without Paris.
LAR: I can't live without being in Paris.
LAU: I can't live without Paris.
HST: Do you come back from time to time?
LAU: We came back today.
GRL: (?)
HST: Yes but you come back for 5 days and then go who knows where.
LAU: Yes we go back touring directly.
LAR: We go back touring. It's a source, I come back to breath, take my...
HST: Maybe you come back to see family, mom?
LAU: 1st day: Family, 2nd day: Money.
LAR: We have to give.
LAU: 3rd day: For sure I have to see all crew, to know what event and around what...
HST: (like?) Regi today, that kind of person.
LAU: Tomorrow, it's "Red Bull" for sure, cause I want to "slap" people. I was born like that, I can't stop myself
LAR: (?) in a battle.
LAU: And please can you ask Leeloo, whatever the circle, "b-boy", whatever...
HST: I'm not sure Leeloo will listen to me, because of our relationship. But if I post the video tonight, it will be out tomorrow, and everyone will hear what you have to tell. But apparently you want craziness at "Red Bull" tomorrow.
LAU: Yes, I hope people are ready, cause if I come to an event, first of all I come (dressed) to see people dance well, and I hope people on the sides are ready cause me, i'm...
21HST: Have you seen all the artists that you wanted to, except Michael Jackson that is deceased? Cause you live in USA, you're in some places where you can ran into/meet some beautiful people.
LAR: We ran into/meet a lot of different people.
LAU: A lot of people that we like the most, and with whom we are in relation, and with whom everything is going well. It's Will Smith, Jim Carrey and Jackie Chan.
HST: Jackie Chan, I would love to see him.
LAU: It's precisely with him that...
HST: Cause Jackie mute? With the importance that I give him, and the importance that you give him, it's not the same compared of our age.
LAU: I understand absolutely.
HST: Jackie Chan is...
LAR: He's a legend.
HST: He's a legend.
LAR: (a living legend?)
LAU: Without special effects, he's just incredible.
HST: And his son is often with him, I don't know if you have already seen him.
LAU: Really?
LAR: No.
HST: His son is very interested by dance. At that time, he came at "freestyle session" to see people dancing.
LAR: No (no way)!
HST: Yes, yes. Ask him, he will surely know better than me. Last question and I live you alone: “today… you have a new performance?”
LAU: We create things everyday, we don't have a new show.
LAR: We have created the show in the plane.
LAU: Since we don't have an event to ask us to do... "How many minutes? 30 minutes? 1 minute? 15?" We plan...
HST: So you improvise a lot.
LAU: No, no, it's a show.
LAR: No, we create shows.
LAU: You will not know but for you it will be choreographed (?).
HST: I see. *laugh*
GRL: Do you still love to dance?
LAR: No, we hate it, we hate it.
HST: No, they like to dance that's how they earn money. But for now, they have more options in life, it opens perspectives.
LAR: We put a "+" than just dance.
HST: For a lot of people, you're a social success. Are you proud of it?
LAR: I'm very proud of it, very proud.
HST: But are you still pleasant with people? When a lot of dancers or people come and talk to you, are you still pleasant? Cause the relationship I have with you is different.
LAR: It depends... Whatever who you are... I'm not saying I'm important, but you can be no one or someone else, if you have a bad approach, you don't want to talk.
HST: Of course, I understand.
LAU: I give 2 different situations. This young lady that works here *shows the girl*, I came here (for...?), for you, for the team.
HST: Yes, today, for the team.
LAU: I came at the airport, and the last thing you want to hear after a show or at the airport is "taking a picture". She came and said "I'm really sorry, can I make a picture with you and your brother?". Ok, I say, no problem. But when I walk with my brother, and my sister who's between us, and there's people filming like that *shows his brother filming on the side*, that is very annoying. But this is happening every 2 seconds. But the worst is that… I'm the fan, Larry is me, my sister is here (near Larry/Laurent). The girl or the guy shoves my sister. *imitates the fan who put his hand on his shoulder and take a picture* At that moment you just want to kill the world.
LAR: They don't realize, so you can't be...
LAU: You can't be mean, but when you're mean or simply say "excuse me, hello, if I want to take a picture". And suddenly, you become the "demon".
LAR: Ok, "chill", you know what I mean.
LAU: We have a lot... sometimes, they're here and say "who do you think you are?!". And me to answer: "Sorry, but if I don't want to take a picture", I don't know maybe I feel ugly, maybe I ate cheese.
22HST: In USA every time there's a big dancing project, are you contacted very often?
LAU: In the whole world!
HST: Yes, but as you are American... Do you have American nationality?
LAR: No, French.
LAU: "Sarcellois". (Resident of the hometown of les Twins near Paris, France.)
HST: He said "Sarcellois". *laugh*
LAU: Do you know what I say in English? And I swear I tell that on every TV shows. "Where you're from?" "Paris, Sarcelles, 95200". That's how you say: “95200”. (Number of department.)
HST: Ok, I understood that. I don't have your English level, but I understood that. *laugh* And I know that one of you two has a beautiful apartment in Los Angeles, near beach.
LAU: Aaaah.
LAR: It's over/finished.
LAU: It's over, we have better than that.
HST: Better than that?
LAU: You rise in rank. And that was not my apartment, it's just I was in a very, very good relationship with Dr Dre, who teaches us to love rap, hip-hop, how to improvise, how to be comfortable the way we dance as rappers.
LAR: Yes, it works fine, (we will see?) next month.
LAU: It works fine. (the music works...?)
HST: If tomorrow... Do you have a message for the new generation, the Criminalz?
LAR: For the new generation: "No time to not love another dancer (?). You have to love you cause nobody will".
HST: Last thing. Can you explain to the young people how it is hard. Cause they see you everywhere, but they don't know how the road was hard: "La Defense" (area of Paris = dancing in the streets), relations with people... it was hard.
LAU: It's very simple I tell you. It's not simple cause today we're "Les Twins", it's not easy to do or easy to tell. We're from Sarcelles, we're little black, we started like everyone, we never had dance teacher.
LAR: We have a very good coach.
LAU: We have a very good coach, who looked at us enough to tell us what was missing to us.
HST: Playmo?
LAU: Playmo Abibou Kebe. But after that, how many slaps/knocks you will take... You have to take some more and more, by all the biggest dancers that you like, (go to it?) with the biggest respect and be humble, (and you have to give the more you can at the training?). And all your problems, your happiness, what you eat, your life, your work, you put it in your dance.
LAR: Even the time.
LAU: Even the time. I have to know you, without you need to speak. When you dance, I have to know you. When you see someone dancing, you say "pffff", you feel this person is nice, cause you know her/his dance. You see someone dancing.
HST: There are 2 people, you have forget to mention. 1st one is (Emeric?) I think, he's close to you.
LTW: *smile*
LAU: (Emeric?), it's been a very long time I didn't see him...
HST: He is close to you, at least on what I know about you. 2nd one is Mathias.
LAR: Mathias, yes. Mathias knows it, we even...
LAU: I was very happy to see him at KOD.
LAR: We went at Los Angeles together.
HST: I saw him at KOD, yes. We don't see him on screen, but I know he was there. I met him at "Why not", where he told me.
LAR: Mathias, since day one, had always the role of "I can slap you in your face if I want". And at KOD, (?) that will not change anything. The only thing I saw at KOD that he never shows me, it was the "reason" and the “comprehension". In fact he understood that we were not just "fashionable phenomenon", he understood that we do what we do cause we have some people to feed behind. And for him, I think there's nothing better than family. Cause he still have (...?). The way he talks is so... People think he's arrogant, but he is so true, that it is impossible to hide. So, every time he will talk to you, don't be afraid to be educated again and again and again. And what makes me very happy was, in LA, after semi-final against Chinese, (?) and we had to choose between us for the one who will dance during the "additional round". (?) And (?) have done it. (?) Personally, I said "we have lost" (?) And Waydi opened up my eyes on it. (?) He said "you think we have won, but we have lost (...?) against chinese, we have lost" (?) And I realised, even if it's not our fault, cause Criminalz, 11-0 you know... (?) But to know that we had an additional round cause "lock" was not good or...
HST: Yes, the sum of everyone.
LAR: Yes. So I thought, we made a round. We were established at (?) hotel, on Hollywood. Very good hotel. I paid for all.
HST: Kof.
LAU: For 2 nights.
LAR: How many people? 22 I think.
LAU: Around 20.
LAR: I paid everyone bills, ok. I said, go ahead, I pay all, and I do that cause tonight we have to bleed (work hard)
LAU: We trained till 6 am.
LAR: Till 6 am. But listen, about Mathias. I said what I wanted to say. Mathias saw that. And Mathias came back on what I said, cause I was rejecting the fault on people. Yes, it's true, I'm like that, I say: "That is your fault, that is your fault". "Me I don't give a shit, personally I won this thing". "Why do I feel like that, why do I have to feel weak even if YOU have lose?" I was arrogant, I was "strict". And for the first time Mathias, we had... that's what I felt, maybe he didn't felt the same, but feeling that I was telling things just how it was... And he said: "First of all, I'm not agree cause blah blah blah, you won't do this, you won't do that, and accusing people". I said: "What! YOU say that! You, who yelled at us backstage cause we missed one step!" And then he said: "Ok, I understand your point of view".
HST: For the first time.
LAR: For the first time. And me, Larry, has never answered to Mathias... And for me, it's someone that is very strong.
HST: Of course, even for us.
LAR: I imitate him for years doing (?). I imitate him doing "hype" for years, till I understood I didn't know how to do... I always have the same people in my head: Abibou (Playmo), Mathias and Bruce.
HST: I see, the 3 references.
LAU: And Jackie Chan.
LAR: And Jackie Chan.
HST: And Jackie Chan that we, all 3, loves.
LAR: And Jim Carrey.
LAU: Jim Carrey, Will Smith.
HST: (?) Jim Carrey?
LAU: Yes, Jim Carrey, Will Smith.
LTW: *grimace*
HST: Ok, last word. Maybe it would be a word for Criminalz?
LAR: For Criminalz: We don't forget who we are
LAU: They are number one in the whole world. Wherever we will go, we will (destroy everything). And Les Twins open new doors for dancers. We are artists, the biggest and best athletes. Singers cannot be dancers, actors can't be singers, athletes cannot dance, but dancers "can do everything". (english in the text.)
GRL: Exactly.
LAR: "Think about it". (english in the text.)
HST: Ok, thank to both of you.
