Not telling anyone (well, French readers only) how to vote one week from now, because I hate propaganda especially during election time, but this is a good video : French presidential candidate François Hollande's campaign team used "Niggas In Paris" by The Throne (Jigga+Yeezy) to score a suburb-themed video.
Funny thing is that I was directed to this video by US website Pitchfork. The same website posted an article, written by their France-based journalist, about the buzz surrounding this ad. It's a pretty good read, as the writter speaks more generally about how rap music and its actors are perceived in the French society.
