From Wikipedia on 2005 Civil Unrest in France:
“In the aftermath of the rioting, there was a huge backlash against French rappers and hip hop artists, who were quickly blamed for inciting the youth of the banlieues (suburban housing projects or “ghettos”) to riot. For many years French rappers had been creating music which told of the poor conditions they lived in and the strife, racism, poverty, and police brutality they faced every day. “For more than a decade, French rappers have been venting the anger of an alienated underclass, but rappers say politicians haven’t been listening” [29] . After the riots, two hundred French parliament members called for legal action against several French rappers, accusing them of inciting the violence [30] . Many politicians, media figures, and other public figures went on rants blaming the rappers for the unrest in the banlieus, often using derogatory and inflammatory language to describe the predominantly poor, immigrant, and minority populations.”

All I can say is… just go see justice live or download a liveset from somewhere. They are delightfully over the top.

Of course, it’s supposed to be provocative and to get your attention! Otherwise, it would be boring.

I think the video is certainly provocative, which is a wonderful thing.

I just don’t see at all how it’s a parody of anything: what the kids in this video are doing really does happen; and if the news channels are the target, then where are they in the video? The lone cameraman filming the kids? I’m not buying it.

I think Justice should just man-up and tell it like it is instead of hiding behind some pussy parody bullshit story.
