| 4.3 superb | Erwann S. STAFF | April 30th 20 |
A landmark in French rap. It contains Bouge de la, French rap's first hit, and Caroline, my personal favourite Solaar song and a masterclass in wordplay ("l'as de trefle qui pique ton coeur, Caroline"). This record is kinda the French pendant to ATCQ: jazzy, smart, and respectful. Solaar raps damn well on GORGEOUS beats built by Jimmy Jay. Sadly, a legal dispute between Solaar and his label Polydor make this one, as well as all his 90s records, unavailable both on streaming platforms and in CD format. Go to YouTube and be impressed by how this polite boy lays the foundations of French rap's popularity. He made rap acceptable in France thanks to his arty approach, which was in total opposition to the raging and uncompromising scene. He was mocked because of this, but very few peepz in French rap came up with a discography as strong as MC Solaar's. So, you like Native Tongues? Here is the French version.

The French language, jazz, and hip-hop all seem to work very well together; nothing here is awkward. However, Qui seme le vent recolte le tempo is just too long for its own good, and the lack of variation in style and delivery causes the album to become stale by the midway point.
A solid, mostly enjoyable, chilled out effort that is a must hear for hip-hop fans.
