Recently a Quebec arts foundation required the Francophone rap group Dead Obies to give back an 18,000 grant they'd been awarded to record their newest album.

In 2014, they were excoriated by several French-language journalists for their mongrel lyrics. Christian Rioux, writing for Le Devoir, suggested that such language practices were "suicidal" and would likely result in the formation of a "mediocre creole" incomprehensible to speakers of proper French or English.
