La Rumeur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Rumeur is a french-language rap group from Élancourt (Yvelines, France). It is a committed hip hop band, which has involved itself in political activism in the suburbs of France. It also has attracted attention to the ignored Paris massacre of 1961, as well as to the high number of police abuse, including "accidental" killings of young French people. The band is critical of reformist NGOs such as SOS Racisme. Thus, Hamé wrote: "... through organizations such as SOS Racisme, created by the PS to contribute to the destruction of the Marche des beurs radicalism ; 'Equal rights' has become 'Equal chances to be admitted into nightclubs'. Justice for those assassinated by the police is overshadowed by massive slogans such as "Hands off my pal !" and "Long live miscegenation !", etc... [1]. It is closer to NGOs such as the MIB (Mouvement Immigration Banlieue). Despite two court orders in their favor, they are still sued by the French Minister of the Interior for an article of Hamé. They worked with other politically involved hip hop crews such as Assassin, Kalash , Less' du Neuf, or the hardcore rappers Sheryo and Casey.
