In an ironic twist of fate, it has been revealed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s eldest son produces Hip-Hop music.
Pierre Sarkozy produces under the name DJ Mosey with Da Crime Chantilly, a group of producers who have worked with a variety of French artists.
According to Sarkozy’s Myspace page where he is pictured with American super producer Timbaland, the collective also produced a track titled "Freestyle" for Mississippi rapper David Banner.
The news of Sarkozy’s involvement with Hip-Hop is of note, because of his father Nicolas Sarkozy and his crusade against Hip-Hop music over the past several years in the country.
In 2003, before Sarkozy became President, he brought a criminal cases against various rappers, including the Hip-Hop group Sniper, who called France a "b**ch" in their song "La France."
The case and similar cases against the rappers were eventually thrown out of court, but the moves cost Sarkozy to lose popularity amongst youth in France.
In 2006 when Sarkozy was campaigning for President, he was photographed with popular French rapper Doc Gyneco, who announced support for Sarkozy's bid for President.
The move the angered right-wing politicians and police unions, as well as various members of the Hip-Hop community in France.
Doc Gyneco’s (short for Dr. Gynecologist) lyrics shocked conservatives in France in the 1990’s.
His album Viens Voir le Docteur [Come and See the Doctor] moved over 500,000 copies, while his follow up album Première Consultation moved almost a million copies.
The award-winning French rapper, who has worked with American artists like Daz Dillinger and The RZA, even published a book that supported Sarkozy.
Backlash for the rapper's support of Sarkozy came shortly afterwards, when he was booed of the stage in August of 2007, during a summer festival in Geneva.
The crowd also pelted Gyneco will beer bottles and other projectiles, before several men were subdued and arrested for their role in the melee.
Sarkozy’s Hip-Hop producing son Pierre is one of two sons from a previous marriage.
According to reports, Pierre has been moonlighting as a Hip-Hop producer for at least five years and along with Da Crime Chantilly, produced the theme music of the TV show Rayon X.
President Sarkozy’s support is also starting to wane in France, as newspapers report the excesses of his private life, as he prepares to wed former supermodel Carla Bruni.

this made me lol.
omg i know this is completely ot but when i was little i used to be scared shitless to watch unsolved mysteries and americas most wanted because i was afraid the people they were looking for would be right outside my window SEEING that I am seeing them on tv and like break into my house and murder me.
true story.
WHAT
What are some other fabulous French hip hop songs? I'm on a dling spree right now.
that song is ♥
Shurik'n's La Lettre is also amazing.
Doc Gynéco's stuff was mostly silly, catchy, pop stuff.
The latter is easy to understand, since she's basically listing celebrities (both French and international) she'd want her perfect man to be like.
You know it was recorded before the 2006 World Cup, since she says she'd like her man to be "calm like Zidane." :p
The sad thing is that is true. Damn you French kid from my ethics class.
He hates him so much. It's hilarious.
Whoever that guy is - he fucking wins the whole damn thang. Imagine a rapper going to jail because he called his country a bitch?
Oh, France.
