'''Morsay''' is a Franco-Algerian rapper who grew up in the city of [[Sevran]], in the [[Val d’Oise]] – a suburb to the north of Paris. With his partner Zehef, he launched himself in rap and created the collective ''Truand 2 La Galère''<ref>http://truand2lagalere-offishal.skyrock.com/</ref>. |

After a first solo record, Morsay joined up with Zehef again for ''Cli-Cli Notre Plaque Tournante'', self-produced by the duo in 2009. Cli-Cli is a nickname for the [[Clignancourt]] area of Paris where Morsay is based. It was with a new release titled ''Le Son du Ter-Ter'' that Morsay created controversy as a result of the uncompromising stance of the song ‘J’ai 40 meufs’ <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnfo-GzYVjk</ref> (roughly: ‘I’ve 40 girlfriends’) with lyrics that were judged ‘intolerable’ by the French Minister of Culture [[Frédéric Mitterrand]].<ref>http://www.20minutes.fr/article/356237/Culture-Frederic-Mitterrand-condamne-la-chanson-du-rappeur-Morsay.php</ref> ‘What the rapper Morsay says in his video, in particular against the security forces of our country, is intolerable’, Mitterrand’s statement read (a communiqué of 19/10/2009). The Minister condemned the incitement to hatred and violence he perceived in the lyrics.<ref>http://www.culturecommunication.gouv.fr/Ministere/L-histoire-du-ministere/Archives/Frederic-Mitterrand-2009-2012/Communiques-2009-2012/Reaction-de-Frederic-Mitterrand-ministre-de-la-Culture-et-de-la-Communication-au-clip-du-rappeur-Morsay</ref> Like earlier artists ''La Rumeur'' and ''OrelSan'', Morsay was seen as the latest focus for scandal in French rap, benefitting from a sudden notoriety made possible by the internet.<ref>http://www.music-story.com/morsay/biographie</ref> |

Morsay’s profile grew once more as an online community known as the ‘noëlistes’ – a group of young members of the website jeuxvideo.com<ref>http://www.jeuxvideo.com/</ref> whose avatar consisted of a head with a Santa hat on it – began to post video responses to his clips. Some of these responses featured ‘as much homophobia and insults’ as Morsay’s original videos, as the website Rue 89 has noted.<ref>http://blogs.rue89.com/actu-rap/2009/10/21/de-clicli-a-la-rue-de-valois-le-conte-de-morsay</ref> |

In 2012 Morsay made headlines as a result of two attention-grabbing moves. First, in a series of videos, he declared his intention to run for President of France<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-BA3kO5LY4</ref> – in videos which drew an enormous viewership on sites such as YouTube. His proposals included closing prisons and the legalisation of brothels. |

Around the same time, Morsay joined with writer [[Mickael Korvin]] in the latter’s campaign for a seat in the [[Académie Française]]. This campaign began with a video filmed in the [[Les Puces]] area of Saint-Ouen, northern Paris. The video, an attack on fellow nominee to the Académie [[Erik Orsenna]], is notable for Morsay’s threat to sexually violate the sexagenarian grammarian.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw250qIP0oc</ref> Later videos featured Korvin and Morsay in balaclavas, calling themselves the ‘French Language Liberation Front’, and consisted of rap-style threats against another nominee to the Académie, Patrick Poivre d’Arvor<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZDMLDGsyeE</ref> and French novelist Fréderic Beigbeider<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4pecgFUNE&feature=plcp</ref>. Korvin and Morsay’s activities were heavily covered by notable French cultural newspapers and magazines such as Le Nouvel Obs<ref>http://bibliobs.nouvelobs.com/web-side-stories/20120320.OBS4197/deux-rappeurs-et-un-ecrivain-menacent-de-violer-erik-orsenna.html</ref> Libération<ref>http://www.liberation.fr/culture/01012400003-korvin-et-morsay-forcenes-d-orsenna</ref> L'Express<ref>http://www.lexpress.fr/culture/livre/mickael-korvin-et-morsay-pensent-qu-erik-orsenna-est-le-tueur-du-francais_1096120.html</ref> and Les Inrocks<ref>http://www.lesinrocks.com/2012/04/01/livres/faut-il-exorciser-lacademie-11396/</ref>. |

In January 2012 it was announced that Morsay’s feature film, ''La Vengeance'', which was due to be released, had not been allowed into cinemas; Morsay declared this was as a result of the Minister for Culture and [[Marine le Pen]]’s [[Front National]] blocking the film.<ref>http://cinema.jeuxactu.com/news-cinema-le-film-de-morsay-censure-16060.htm</ref> |
