Musician Franco Cutolo Criticizes Famous Rapper Geolier

"Geolier is a lucky guy because he found himself driven by a media and advertising machine that, regardless of the Sanremo Festival, made him intercept the mood of the kids. But this does not justify his unseemliness, his lack of culture and preparation" these are the words of Franco Cutolo, musician and father of Giovanbattista Cutolo, GiòGiò, the boy brutally killed last August in Naples. "I say it as an artist who has always represented minorities in his own theater, who has given space to popular culture and subordinate cultures but here, however, we only find the culture of brutality" explained to Agi Franco Cutolo, who yesterday was noticed on social networks for having posted on Facebook a photograph of the now famous Neapolitan rapper - second place in Sanremo - represented with a machine gun in hand in the cover of his piece "Narcos". "Fuitevenne" Cutolo had commented online, citing the famous Eduardian invitation. "Geolier is one of the myths of my son's killer and this does not surprise me" continued GiòGiò's father. At the young Neapolitan's funeral, among the attendees, also Geolier himself. "But it's rhetoric, what matters is what he represents: in the look, in the way of speaking, in the model he offers to street kids. Let's stop, please, with the parochialism for which because he is Neapolitan we Neapolitans should hope that an unseemly wins Sanremo. I'm not speaking out of classism nor do I despise the suburbs. Simply, I'm ashamed that this type of representation is honored. And not just because I'm Giogiò's father. I say it as a Neapolitan and as an artist" explained Cutolo.
