What is the French Hip-Hop Song that played during Entourage's "No Cannes Do" episode?

Najm, sihks cannot take of their turbans, it covers really long hair and is an essential component of their faith

Although I enjoyed about 80% of this episode, I have to agree with the contingent who hated the way the writers concluded the Anna Faris situation with E. I gotta admit, it blindsided me, because I expected E to solve the problem like he usually does. Faris is a hottie and I wanted an excuse to see more of her on my favorite TV series, but I digress...

As for the remainder of this episode, I loved the high-speed attempts to resolve the "getting a plane ride to Cannes" scenes... with Ari pleading with Syndey Pollack to have him and the boys piggyback onto his charter flight, working to keep his gorgeous wife happy since she cannot go, and dialoging hilariously with his assistant Lloyd. Creative brilliance right there.

And contrary to what the vast majority have stated here, I loved the out-of-the-blue Kanye West appearance -- together with his posse -- coming through with his extenisive private plane... which was also a great excuse to ease in two pieces of eye candy at the end (aka "the two flight attendants). What a way to top off this cool episode, which would've been a home run if the Faris situation had been resolved better -- IMO.

I didn't like this episode very much.

-Didn't like how the Anna storyline played out. It was so neat and tidy to get her off the show but seemed to come out of nowhere. Come on, E., you're a professional. Sell her on the dream team. It seemed, as someone else commented, unnatural.

-The Sydney Pollock/Kanye West scenes at the end annoyed me. I realize that stunt casting is a large part of the show but what the hell was with the Kanye appearance? Oops, they have too many people for Sydney's plane and like a superhero, in comes Kanye. It's a bird! It's a plane! No really, it is a plane, Kanye's plane! Who really needs to go to Cannes: Ari, Vinnie, E and Lloyd as Ari's assistant, though that's debatable. However, we knew that Lloyd wasn't an option at that point. Johnny has a good excuse to go to Cannes: Networking. But Turtle? Turtle needs a career (what ever happened with that?) and a life. And why couldn't they go on two separate planes? Johnny could have gone the next day - or with Sydney. If they weren't afraid it would look gay the four would probably pee together.

What did I like? Mrs. Ari and Lloyd, of course. Those two redeem any Entourage episode. The Ari-Mrs. Ari scenes were also great.

It wasn't great. I didn't like the Anna Faris resolution. I was left wanting more. It didn't seem likely that she'd fire him like that. The appearance of Kanye at the right moment felt like a cheap stunt casting. I know, Entourage is full of them, but this one was out of the blue. Like a superhero, in comes Kanye to save the day. It's a bird! It's a plane! It really is a plane, Kanye's plane!

Only 5 people fit on Sydney's plane. They fight over who really needs to go. Drama's excuse is passable, because he can network in Cannes. Had Lloyd gone- though he wasn't an option at that point- he'd have served a purpose for Ari. Turtle? Turtle needs a life- and his own career (what ever happened to that?). And why couldn't they have gone on two separate planes? If they weren't afraid of looking gay they'd probably pee together.

Loved Mrs. Ari and Lloyd as usual but can we just get on with the season?

well...reading about a lot of different opinions make me think.No doubt that it was a well scripted episode but some how i personally felt that too many plots were pushed into one episode and certain things could not be done justice to for example the drama move at the airport of trying to befriend an arab charecter(I personally feel that he should have taked off his turban after hearing about the scare!!!).Even though every scenece was well edited and and the transition between different plots was extremely smooth the episode itself was not conclusive enough like usual.The story was not progressing anywhere.I feel it was meant to fill in the gap between episode 10 and episode 12 and was a job well done.Talking of the slight negetivity created between Vince and Eric, i think its more of Walch than Anna who is responsible.And yess I think Anna farris was a good idea...since its some what bringing in light in Eric's life after his breakup with sloan and definitely its nice to see the little manager some what comming out of his "superstar" friends shadow and actually being a productive individual in the real world of reel world.Anna was good and i feel pretty good for E and they should be going out in the further story but the entourage episodes have had enough of her and its time for her to not appear in the frame any more.
And before signing off i must mention my favourite charecter Ari .....like usual....HE ROCKS!!!

I agree that I think E quit and is lying to prevent Vince from feeling guilty. The theme at the end was friendship, everybody staying back because turtle couldn't go. In this same vein, E is being a good friend(I think). The transition was just so abrupt that I doubted it was just that simple. And all of you haters are just wrong-the episode was great. I feel like everybody is simply looking for plot advancement instead of character development.

I think E's lying about Anna firing him.

The Watcher column in the Chicago Tribune had an interesting critique of the show stating that there are never any consequences for the characters. Any conflict seems to have a way of solving itself, and is never heard from again. e.g. Kanye just happening by with a jet, Ari making good with Pollock, Vince betting at Dennis Hopper's, E attempting to manage another client. Walsh is "one of the guys now." Enough already! I hope Medellin is a flop so there's finally something to work with on the show.

And to kick the show while it's down, let's hope that this episode is the last we see of Anna Faris. Her scenes with E are dull and tiresome. Stick to the Scary Movie flicks, Anna. Even a half-hour cable sitcom is outside her acting ability.
