Prose Combat

MC Solaar is one of the best French rappers and this record is awesome. In general, Solaar's lyrics are critical without being self-centered whining, too often the case with rappers. This keeps it interesting. Also, the lines are so smooth that you will enjoy it even if you don't speak French. Apart from the musical qualities, Solaar uses a big vocabulary, making his catalogue good passive language training.This early disc is a little less cerebral, and a little less produced than his later efforts, for example the great Chapitre 7. It has a certain intensity to it that really moves. I recommend this disc in addition to chapitre 7, his latest, and Paradisiaque.

I've had this album stuck in my head since high school French class and it's not on Spotify so I'm delighted to have found my own pristine copy for cheap. Thanks, internet!

Even if you do not understand French, or generally like rap music, this CD has pleasant rhythms to enjoy.

Power of a true poet

check.

Even if you don't parlais french, this is great hip-hop!

This album, along with  Jazzmatazz  (which MC Solaar starred in), is the closest thing that will come to hip-hop perfection. The best tracks are "Obsolete", "Dévotion", "Séquelles", and in my opinion, "Temps Mort". Many of the songs blend jazz elements and early hip hop-style beats, which creates a unique and pleasant listening experience.

This album is pretty good. Its my first MC Solaar album, and I really like a few of his songs. It really has that 90's sound to it, which I like to an extent. I would definitely consider getting more of his albums, as I really like his sound.

I had this CD 16 years ago when living in France - but lost it. I decided to replace it and am glad I did - wonderful lyrics with many literary references and that good old Gallic intellectualism wedded to a melodic rap sensibility.

Each song has been meticulously written and it is clear to the ear that MC Solaar is truly passionate about his music. His lyrics have clearly been lived, which brings nostalgia and happiness and joy. Tres bien!!

C l'album de MC Solaar que je préfère! Pas de rap hardcore , pas d'injures, bien au contraire! Les lyrics sont soignées, en bon français ( ce n'est pas tjs le cas dans le Rap français). A posséder !
