Minneapolis Nazi Protest
A humorous smatter of Nazis show up at the South Minneapolis
YWCA to protest classes of color and empowerment.
Needless to say, the reception committee was less than enthusiastic.

French Hip Hop Crew La Rumeur performs live at the Triple Rock. Minneapolis MN. 2008

La Rumeur, one of the leading French underground rap groups, emerged in 1997 from Elancourt, a suburb south of Paris. Before issuing their first full-length debut record, MCs Ekoué, Hamé, Mourad, and Philippe (all graduates of French universities) distributed independent solo singles at their shows: “Le Poison d’Avril” (1997), “Le Franc Tireur” (1998), and “Le Bavar” and “Le Paria” (1999). Following these singles, their fan base grew quickly and then came their first group album, “L’ombre sur la mesure” (EMI, 2002). The record was an homage to the immigrant experiences of their parents’ generation, focusing on the Paris massacre of Algerians in 1961, and on the high rate of police abuse of immigrants. One group member, Hamé, was taken to court by the Interior Minister in 2002 for a magazine article accompanying the release of that first album, with its mention of police crimes. The next album, “Regain de Tension,” was released in 2004 after the Interior Ministry had failed to silence the group. That brave Interior Minister who took on Hamé was one Nicolas Sarkozy, now President of France. They say “singing a song for 500 people is writing 500 songs.” The name of group (the rumor) speaks for itself.
