A genre classic. The two MCs, Joey Starr and Kool Shen, both have aggressive voices but use them in very different way so the two dudes are easily recognizable. They are extremely complementary and trade lines to bring an unmatched intensity to these mostly laid-back and jazzy beats. The record is at times dissenting and belligerent, sometimes chill and breezy, but always engaging and *Italian chef's kiss*. Funnily enough, NTM already addresses the sempiternal question was rap better before? in "Tout n'est pas si facile". Their last album gained the most recognition, but this one is already top notch, although a tad too long and the best tracks being mostly present during the record first 45 minutes.
