Then why did the police throw NTM in jail (I know it was a N.. Le Police
type thing)? I do have to admit that when I was last in Paris buying
music, I ignored most of the French hip-hop stuff, in favor of the stuff I
knew, i.e. MC Solaar, NTM, Les Sage Po. But, I heard IAM recently on local
college radio (KSJS), and, of what little French I could make out, didn't
sound overly gangsta. I do get irritated over the agry french stuff, i.e.
Democrate D and such.
