Stress, Justice
Blimey. My immediate response to this is I love it. I wonder if that'll change with a bit of time?
Justice have attached their identity to a youth that intimidates and dominates the world they live in through violence. The current frustration, ignorance, paranoia and fear that surrounds us in todays society is prevalent, but is this our world?
As a viewer you question what you are watching continuously. Do you relate to the angry youths or the vulnerable world they exist in? Is this postmodern punk/ gangster rap?
With nods towards 'Come to Daddy', 'Funny Games' and 'The Warriors' it also raises similar issues as 'No Country For Old Men', although it's undoubtedly more relevant to European society now. One things for sure, it's gonna cause a shit load of controversy.
Coming soon to an MTV channel near you (I think not).

I saw this video earlier this morning. I gotta say I wanted the gang to get beats. I thought what would i do in that situation if i was being picked on. After the video i went out onto the tube and picked a fight. I didn't seem to get the respect the kids in the video did. Just goes to show, a hoody and back up goes along way.
I like the bit at 4"55' when they're in the car, D.A.N.C.E. comes on the radio, and the ghetto yoot merks the radio.
Justice know how to have a joke about themselves...
