While the genre is hugely popular in the country and sells in vast numbers, the French music industry and politicians have tried to downplay its success

Dave’s Mercury prize-winning debut album, Psychodrama, was the biggest-selling British rap album in the UK in 2019, certified gold for selling more than 100,000 units. Those numbers wouldn’t even have landed him in the top 10 biggest rap albums in France last year, where artists from greater Paris sell more rap albums than acts from any other city.

Can’t relate

'Diversity' means chasing down the last white person. WhiteGenocide

The article says 'American rap edged towards consumerism' which might be true but some rappers like icecube rap about social issues. I especially like his song about capitalism lol.

French rap is riddled with antisemitism, homophobia ,misogyny and advocacy/ apologism of terrorism, I'm not surprised the normies are trying to sideline it.

A genre that promotes violence, sexual promiscuity, and drug consumption should not be glorified. Besides certain beats that can be masterpieces and even some songs (itll be dishonest to not say so) the rap industry is a spiritually degrading sub-culture
