    Jeune Chilly Chill uses wordplay and references from pop culture, religion, violence, race, and hip hop artists to distinguish himself from his opponent Jam and connect with the Québécois audience. His word techniques aim to position himself as more knowledgeable about rap and culture while also attacking Jam by accusing him of passiveness during student riots and using racial angles against other rappers.

    JCC’s word-technique relationship

    Word groups/analogies Technique and intent


    Quebec/Pop Culture references Inserting references the average Québécois
    R1: Méo dans Elvis Graton, '' Dave c'tune audience member will recognize. This helps
    terreur! Dave c'tin tueur! Dave y'é magané!'' Jeune Chilly Chill connect with them even
    (Slapshot) though he also has more complex vocabulary
    R2: Cyril Rictus (Cyril Sneer), maire de and obscure references.
    Laval (mayor of Laval), Richard Martineau,
    Francs-Tireurs, Jacques Brel
    R3: Gatineau, Martineau
    Fruits In pair with the Hebraic references, the fruit
    R2: Lines 37 to 43 wordplay uses Jam’s name to transform him
    into a vulnerable object he can creatively
    dismantle.
    Hebraic Jam’s name is David Beaudin-Kerr, and he uses
    R1: Hassidiques, casher, l'étoile de David that fact at the end of this line. As JCC says, he
    has done the Hebraic/religious wordplay in the
    past.
    Violence To distinguish himself from Jam, JCC brings a
    R1: Neuf millimètres (9mm), Violent, more violent character (he admits it in the
    choquant pis rude, sa mère s'tune pute (his interview before the contest). He also uses it to
    mom’s a...), fif (f..) attack Jam, accusing him of passiveness during
    R2: munitions, fif the student riots that happened during the
    R3: Tu t'battais pas avec la police (weren’t previous spring.
    you fighting the police)

    Race Jam has used his position as part-Jamaican (his


    R1: father) to allow the use of racial angles against
    R2: faux noir, blancs de mémoire (fake Freddy Gruesum (who happens to be a black
    black, blank spot in memory) MC) and Jeune Chilly Chill’s response to this is
    R3: Un Étrange (strange), Marley, Tosh, to remind Jam that the community remembers.
    Harrison His tactic backfires when he also uses an
    offensive term (strange) as wordplay (a rapper
    has this name) and tries to save it by employing
    the same scheme Jam used against Freddy,
    comparing him to other racialized personalities.
    Canadian/Queb Rappers Part of this group is identified as Jam’s crew
    R1: ton fuckin' frère (Snail Kid), Oxmo, Le and dissed: the collective K6A, Snail, P-Dox,
    Casse Croûte for example. JCC got negative feedback from
    R2: Detox, P-Dox, FiligraNn, being the opening act in one of Oxmo’s
    R3: K6, Smiley, Mononcle Rock, impossible concerts (he got booed), which he was
    (Imposs), dramatique (Dramatik), Sans reminded of during the infamous battle against
    Pression, ôter MC (OTMC), Un Étrange Syme (a member of the Casse Croûte
    collective). For the others, it demonstrates
    Jeune Chilly Chill’s knowledge of pioneers in
    Quebec Rap.

    American/International Rappers Continuing the trend of references, Jeune Chilly


    R1: Chill names French and American rappers. This
    R2: furthers his display of knowledge and associates
    R3: Sir Menelik, Cam'ron, Two Chainz, Wu- him with the larger world of hip-hop.
    Tang, U-God, TNT, Suspek-T
