Big raps

English to French Art/Literary Linguistics music review
Il s'agit de la chronique d'un single
Merci.

Allan Jones' review in the August 13 Melody Maker was heavy with praise, declaring that this exercise in psychedelia packed the same kind of spacious rush as The Byrds' 'Eight Miles High'. Big raps. "Are they the new West Coast experimental art ensemble?" Jones asked. "Whatever, like all good pop records, it sounds like it's always been there."

petite suggestion

Si l'on considère que "big raps" se rapporte à la chanson des Byrds, on pourrait dire
...que "Eight miles High", dont on avait beaucoup parlé.

C'est très neutre, mais je pense que c'est le sens d'être à la Une, dans toutes les conversations etc :

RAP
Slang.
a. a talk, conversation, or discussion; chat.
b. talk designed to impress, convince, etc.; spiel: a high-pressure sales rap.

il existe sans doute une expression plus percutante en français mais je sèche...
