The bigger issue is that unlike any of the aforementioned, Montana has no real idea of how to put a song together. Which itself isn’t a problem, as Montana’s emotional blankness puts him within the range of Chief Keef, but whereas the latter is fueled by nihilistic defiance, French just sounds listless and bored.

But whereas Rozay has developed a character through vivid imagination and exaggeration*,* Montana doesn’t express enough individuality in his music to even be a caricature. Which isn’t a huge problem, since he’s often been welcome on Rick Ross’ fantasy island.

Nobody that Montana threatens, fucks, robs, or peddles bricks to is granted any sort of humanity. You can get all of that from his Twitter feed his actual music just ends up putting his shortcomings in sharp relief. His flow conflates loopy rapping and off-key singing similar to Future, but Pluto somehow felt more earthbound than Excuse My French. But you can understand what people see in French Montana, as he does give you the raw material of a 2013 rap icon: fluent in regional microtrends and stylistically fluid enough to involve himself in them, 'New York' enough to keep local tastemakers satisfied, all while carrying an air of self-aware absurdity.

I watched 'Excuse My French' every week, but rarely identified with everybody's pal, Larry King (of 'King of Kensington') and his Cabbagetown buds.This isn’t all that surprising considering that his 2012 mixtape Mac & Cheese 3 achieved the same result as loudly and expensively as its commercially available follow-up. Their strong, loving, patient relationship is the glue that helps the families keep from coming to blows. In the end, Peter and Marie Louise succeed in their marriage, despite the bickering in-laws. There is plenty of mudslinging, but one sensed there was a mutual respect and even a healthy envy one for the other. The classic confrontation is set up, with arrogant English aristocrat Charles Hutchins, interacting with his French speaking in-law, the working class Gaston Sauve. The secret of 'Excuse My French' was, despite how much friction there was in the extended family, married couple Peter and Marie Louise Hutchins promoted love, tolerance and generosity. Its arguable that CBC-TV had a bigger sitcom in 'King of Kensington,' but CTV really nailed Canada 'ou ils ont habiter' with Stuart Gillard's 'Excuse My French.' After the famous Richard Riot of 1955 and the FLQ crisis in 1970, the language issue in Quebec, particularly Montreal, was reaching a boiling point.

Norman Lear, who imitated some top British sitcoms, had many imitators himself in the mid-seventies, including in the Canadian TV industry.
