Abstract

Since 2015, the two brothers that constitute the rap duo PNL have had a strong influence on a generation of young rappers from their neighbourhood, les Tarterêts (Corbeil-Essonnes, 91, France). PNL and their team have been building, in their lyrics, instrumentals and music videos, a poetic of hopelessness, of the sour taste of their history, the history of the vanquished as coined Kundera. The breaking point that these works have brought forward within the French rap scene can be understood as an invitation to find out, within the very filmic forms of some audiovisual productions from rap cultures, a specific experience of space, time and history. In other words, to trace back the modalities of the “audio-logo-visual” (Chion) presence of a regime of historicity, based on a specific spatial practice.
