I just watched a talk about Paris' "racaille" thugs and French hip hop at the EMP Pop Conference and saw someone in BV's comments thread attempt the connection. But, yeah, that album is not exactly stacked with singles.

i don't know what justice are trying to say with the video (if anything, it may just be the brainchild of the director). with the great electronic music that's being created at the moment in france, i would prefer it not to have a strong political message for either side of france's current social issues. there are better avenues for political awareness, dance music doesn't seem to be the place.
