Ah yes, the wonderful (under)world of French rap and hip-hop...While the locked-out youth of France are given a voice by the underclass of the French ghettos, French law (the one that protects the French language) ensures that local media are required to spread the message, so to speak... Double contrainte, non?

Helpfully, France's Prime Minister, Dominique de Villepin (who is a man), has gone on record to state that "the government is not anti-hip hop."
