#1 According to what I've read from more knowledgeable people in various forums, the artists targeted were somehow mainstream (if hardcore), and are not the "underground" rap that is so prevalent in the 'hoods.

There was excerpts from theses underground raps featured on Radio-courtoisie, an alternative conservative/rightwing radio : awful!... "there is a coming civil war, we'll burn everything, we'll win it", "fight the cops, kill them", "put whitey back at his place, f*** his wimmen", "christians will pay, the gold the Pope has around his neck, don't forget he stole it from the muslims",... theses are not songs, theses are propaganda pieces, hammered into the empty skulls of the lowlives. Battlecry.

Note that the "mainstream" hardcore rap is not bad either; one of theses wonderful artists showcased by the fnac (a cultural products retail network that leans leftward) sez he p***es on Napoleon and de Gaulle, that listener mustn't forget to f*** France into exhaustion (recurrent image, the West is a woman that is to be taken by force by the manly non-white/muslim, while its original populations are devirilized and feminized),... that guy is from ex-Zaire/RDC, and he lives in Belgium, so I guess he has all the right to judge us this way.

Rap is big in France, bigger than in the USA, I'd say (you have country, for example), it is the main commercial music, listened to by both the youths and the "youths", and its omnipresent message is to spit on society, spit on authority, denigrate western culture, denigrate western wimmen (sluts, all of them!), etc, etc...

Very strange, many ethnic frenchs listen to this; of course, the only alternative is pop sang by androgyneous singers. So, the choice is either indulge in ethno-masochism, or to identify oneself with an umanly image.

French music is actually relatively lively, there used to be lotsa fun bands... check out theses VRP videoclips, back from the early 90's :

#2 That's the nature of rap lyrics, a5089. On this side of the pond the Gangsta rappers (who your French rappers copy) are equally vicious and nihilistic, although merely racist and sexist, not religionist. Probably doesn't make you feel better to know that, though.
