		In today's column, Brooks takes his shtick overseas and into the realm of pop music with a denunciation of "French gangsta rap."

		Although I doubt the wealthier French rap fans were appropriating hip-hop out of humor, the fact that Massenya and the article's writers credited the less privileged banlieues with giving French hip-hop its "own voice" is suggestive.
		As another French rapper, Rico, said, "The ghetto is an energy source; it inspires me. If I lived in Paris, I wouldn't have the same rage, the same hate." (1996: 38) Rico's rage and hate serve as muses for his rap and without them, his hip-hop would have less fuel for "contiguous" expression.
		Another aspect of hip-hop illuminated by the article on the French banlieues is that hip-hop's particular appropriation is contingent on the local youths' culture and environment.
