La presse anglaise évoque a son tour l’affaire OrelSan et nous rappelle que les propos mysogines ne sont pas la chasse gardée du rap comme certains aimeraient le faire croire.

Outrage about violence and misogyny in music is almost always confined to rap and hip-hop, despite there being much to engage with elsewhere. For example, Nick Cave’s fascination with murdered women (which spans his whole career) is seen as artistic expression. I Shot The Sheriff is seen as a bit of fun, but Cop Killer sparked national outrage in the US. The Stranglers’ song Sometimes, which opens with « Someday I’m gonna smack your face », and contains the promise to « beat you, honey, till you drop » did nothing to detract from their status as a cult band. And the Rolling Stones’ song, Brown Sugar, despite being a narrative of a slave owner’s pleasure at raping and beating his black female slave, is still seen as something of a national treasure, used by X Factor contestants and soft drink advertisers alike.
