Thanks for reminding me about Le Peuple de l'Herbe! They're a lot of fun, if you're in to druggy French hip-hop.

If you liked the artwork, Jebedai has a blog.

Um...never heard of these guys before, so thanks for sharing!

What an incredibly fun video...really well done, and filled with a never-ending stream of humorous visuals. The song is great...immediately catchy and just a pleasure to listen to.

Gonna check this band out further. I wonder how deep their rabbit hole goes?

Sometimes I try to explain to non-rap lovers why rap is awesome - that it is modern poetry set to beats... That it is a continuation of a spoken word tradition... That to dislike rap is to dislike poetry itself.

I have no explanation why I enjoy so much foreign language rap.

(this is awesome, thanks!).

I'll confess: I speak some French, but I still could not understand one word of that. Great video, though!

Apparently it's in Xhosa and Afrikaans
