Batards Sensibles is the second studio album by French hip hop group TTC. It was released on Big Dada in 2004.
Joshua Glazer of AllMusic said: "Dense analog synths and rugged 808 beats reference the good-times party vibe of '80s rap, although many of these tracks are digitally fractured to give things an updated feel." [3] Meanwhile, Peter Macia of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, saying: "Teki [Latex], Tido [Berman], and Cuizinier are as captivating and entertaining as any, despite the language barrier."
