He who says 'study' says 'work', he who says 'work' says 'money', he who says 'money' says 'spend', he who says 'credit' says 'debt', he who says 'debt' says 'bailiffs', yes you're in deep ****. He who says 'Love' says 'kids', says 'forever' and says 'divorce'. He who says 'relatives' says 'loss', because problems never come by themselves. He who says 'crisis' says to you 'world', says 'famine', says 'third-world'.

Rap and hip-hop have been part of France's immigrant youth scene for so long that many of the original artists - like Joey Starr, MC Solaar and the group IAM - are now regarded as respected old-timers. The new stars are men and women in their 20s - almost all of African or Arab origin. Song after song dwells on the same themes of hopelessness, rejection by France, police harassment and the rage that follows. Disiz La Peste, a 27-year-old of mixed Senegalese and French parentage whose real name is Serigne M'Baye, has just released his third album, entitled The Extraordinary Stories Of A Youth In The Banlieue. The chorus of the title song goes: "For France it matters nothing what I do / In its mind I will always be / Just a youth from the banlieue**". "Few people in France have a normal attitude towards us. People are either fascinated or they are frightened. There are two worlds crashing against each other. People have a problem with us, and we do with them," he said in a recent interview. **BANLIEUE- means the ghetto in French. Vous avez 3 minutes. Discutez en anglais? Pourquoi est-ce que le rap est important pour les immigrés???
