Sarkozy hip-hopping
by Claudia Sonea


Apparently French President is stumbling in troubles and his personal life tends to get back on him. After all the scandals that he went through due to his divorce, his love affairs, confusing speeches (sometimes accused of being drunk) and the plunging in recent polls, Sarkozy is now hunted by the ones he most criticized during his office as interior minister. Pierre Sarkozy, one of his three sons must have not trusted his father when complaining about the racist and anti-Semitic content in songs by the French hip-hop group Sniper and decided to join the outcasts. The French rapper Poison is preparing an upcoming album that probably bears the sign of all the other albums that made him famous because of the expletive-laden lyrics and his fierce criticism of the conservative leader Sarkozy. Funny as it might sound, Pierre's father is conservative (with other people's life, but not his own) therefore Poison's interview for hip-hop radio station Generations 88.2, which revealed that Pierre is his friend for the last 5 years and goes under the name of Mosey helping him to produce his upcoming albums, must have came as a shock. Despite his long lasting relation with the son of the President, Poison is still against him because of the 2003 pledge to crack down on offensive rap lyrics. According to the well known rapper, the track "La Rue" is listed on Pierre's My Space Web site as one of his credits. In fact the site belongs to a certain Mosey that posts a picture of Sarkozy's son, but that doesn't actually prove that is him indeed. In this respective President's office refused to comment by justifying that is about the private life and we all know that Sarkozy thinks that his not only the French leader, but also a man. New perspective for the French people who had only names like Charles de Gaulle or Jacques Chirac at their lead. Wait, this is only the beginning…
