PNL DIE FRANZÖSISCHE RAPSZENE UND IHR EINFLUSS / THE FRENCH RAPSCENE AND ITS IMPACT PNL – LE MONDE OU RIEN DIE BANLIEUES
SUMMARY
PNL, or "Peace and Lovés", is a hip-hop duo from Paris, consisting of brothers Admo and N.O.S. They grew up in Les Tarterêts, a challenging suburb of Paris, and have Algerian roots. Known for their Cloud Rap style, they gained significant popularity with hits like "Le Monde Ou Rien" and albums such as "Le Monde Chico" and "Dans La Légende". Their music addresses themes of melancholy, sadness, and the challenges of life in the suburbs, known as Banlieues, which emerged in response to housing shortages since the 1950s. Despite efforts to improve living conditions in the Banlieues, social challenges and discrimination persist. French-language rap has become a popular genre due to quotas, with PNL being among its prominent artists. The Banlieues, suburbs of French cities, have become precarious areas due to poor construction quality, deindustrialization, immigration, and social unrest. PNL, a popular hip-hop duo, addresses the issues of the Banlieues in their music, serving as a voice for youth with immigrant backgrounds. The debate on the suburbs intensified following attacks in France, with architect Roland Castro advancing the revitalization of the Banlieues. Despite efforts such as the transformation of the "La Caravelle" housing estate, social and economic challenges persist. However, the Paris suburbs are experiencing an upswing and aim for emancipation, supported by initiatives like "Grand Paris". The historical structure of Paris, with a clear separation between the center and the suburbs, as well as social segregation and racism, shapes the current issues of the Parisian suburbs, which are more centralized compared to Berlin. The "Le Grand Paris" project, led by Philippe Yvin and supported by Roland Castro, aims to strengthen the suburbs through infrastructure improvements and economic incentives, yet the success of the project remains uncertain.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
PNL, oder "Peace and Lovés", ist ein Hip-Hop-Duo aus Paris, bestehend aus den Brüdern Admo und N.O.S. Sie wuchsen in Les Tarterêts, einem anspruchsvollen Vorort von Paris, auf und haben algerische Wurzeln. Bekannt für ihren Cloud-Rap-Stil, erlangten sie mit Hits wie "Le Monde Ou Rien" und Alben wie "Le Monde Chico" und "Dans La Légende" erhebliche Popularität. Deren Musik behandelt Themen wie Melancholie, Traurigkeit und die Herausforderungen des Lebens in den Vororten, bekannt als Banlieues, die seit den 1950er Jahren aufgrund von Wohnungsnot entstanden sind. Trotz Bemühungen, die Lebensbedingungen in den Banlieues zu verbessern, persistieren soziale Herausforderungen und Diskriminierung.
Französischsprachiger Rap ist aufgrund von Quoten zu einem beliebten Genre geworden, wobei PNL zu den prominenten Künstlern gehört. Die Banlieues, Vororte französischer Städte, sind aufgrund von schlechter Bauqualität, Deindustrialisierung, Immigration und sozialen Unruhen zu prekären Gebieten geworden. PNL, ein populäres Hip-Hop-Duo, thematisiert die Probleme der Banlieues in ihrer Musik und dient als Stimme für Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund.
Die Debatte über die Vororte intensivierte sich nach Anschlägen in Frankreich, wobei der Architekt Roland Castro die Revitalisierung der Banlieues vorantrieb. Trotz Bemühungen wie der Umgestaltung des Wohnviertels "La Caravelle" persistieren soziale und wirtschaftliche Herausforderungen. Dennoch erleben die Pariser Vororte einen Aufschwung und streben nach Emanzipation, unterstützt durch Initiativen wie "Grand Paris". Die historische Struktur von Paris, mit einer klaren Trennung zwischen Zentrum und Vororten sowie sozialer Segregation und Rassismus, prägt die aktuellen Probleme der Pariser Vororte, die im Vergleich zu Berlin zentralisierter sind.
Das Projekt "Le Grand Paris", geleitet von Philippe Yvin und unterstützt von Roland Castro, zielt darauf ab, die Vororte durch Infrastrukturverbesserungen und wirtschaftliche Anreize zu stärken, dennoch bleibt der Erfolg des Projekts unsicher.
