I do have respect for artist and being free to express all kind of feelings. But in a matter of fact, I have always noticed that French has a rich language to express anything with no vulgarity.
Even if the song is about cheating, there is so much more than using slangs in a song. Even for a young adult or old teenager (that is how you prefer to see a 26 years old man).
If I was him, the rap singer, I will be ashamed to be known as the one who did the centre of a national debate over censorship and not known by my talent and my songs.
That's true. Orelsan is not as famous as Eminem in France. To make a boycott of several known and respected festivals just because they don't want to name every girl who did a mistake a slut, this is stupid.
My point of view is not really objective. I agree with that. The rap singer is from Normandy, he has a complex about the Capital, as a lot of young provincial people who do not have ambition, dream, or the will to make something of their lives...
I think this controversy shows one of real problems in France: the generation of the 20-30 years old who grew up in an environment of freedom, with no true values of respect, benchmark of life... They don't know there are more than two levels of French language, and our power of words come from this wealth.
The funny thing is that the politicians who are in shock about the ban, are the parents who will punish their children if they express themselves to the world like the rap singer.
The picture is how a Norman french teenager is feeling: unfair! (the sentence from the main character of the cartoon Calimero). And the thing about rain? Well, it rains almost everyday in Normandy ;)
