Baby Rappers in France

Trending

Available for over a year

Another viral clip caused outrage this week, this time in France. Children pose as gangsta rappers in a video, which shows them waving guns, wads of cash, making drug references and sexist remarks. Pretty typical of a gangsta rap? Possibly, but the young age of those rapping - estimated to be between 8 and 13 years - has shocked many in France and generated an intense debate about the banlieue (the suburbs), where the children are from, and where the Charlie Hebdo attackers lived.
