Wes Anderson is a director who inspires and gets people talking, and his universe fits perfectly with hip-hop, a milieu in which artists don't hesitate to make references to the works that influence them. References to the director are a common feature of the most inspired artists, both in their clips (Varnish La Piscine or Tyler, The Creator) and in their lyrics, notably Bu$hi, the French rapper, in his track "Parachute".

Original text by Bu$hi quoting Wes Anderson
Bu$hi, internationally acclaimed

Bu$hi has been astonishing the hip-hop scene for years now, and never ceases to surprise artists and listeners alike with each new appearance: his complex production choices, which require a profound mastery of his art, and his international connections are always the talk of the town. We've seen him work with major American artists such as Quavo and Don Toliver, as well as the platform "On The Radar".

from his "Bushi Tape 2" project, released just after his ascent, so this line expresses the discovery of his new life as an artist. He compares it to a Wes Anderson film, his life out of the ordinary and making him lose his bearings. His reference to the director shows how artists influence each other and change the way they see the world and their lives, especially Wes Anderson, who has a universe that spurs the imagination and that everyone interprets in their own way. Bu$hi has captured this in this line by not specifying why he compares his life to these films. So, we each interpret this line in our own way, just as we each analyze and draw something different from Wes Anderson's movies.

Il la compare à un film de Wes Anderson, sa vie sors du commun et lui fais perdre ses repères. Sa référence au réalisateur montre comment les artistes s’influencent entre eux et changent la manière dont ils voient le monde et leur vie, particulièrement Wes Anderson qui possède un univers qui pousse à l’imagination et que chacun interprète à sa manière, Bu$hi l’a bien retranscrit dans cette ligne en ne précisant pas pourquoi il compare sa vie à ces films. Ainsi, on interprète chacun cette ligne à notre manière, de la même façon qu’on analyse et tire chacun quelque chose de différent des films de Wes Anderson.
