fabulous
Actually, I didn't hear about this CD from "Sex and the City." I originally became familiar with his music three years (at age 18) ago while I was with some French friends camping in the French Alps. MC Solaar is a gifted and widely respected musician who has wonderful music. This CD has a little something for everyone-- nice and slow or good to get that groove on to. I'm glad that "Sex and the City" helped raise people's awareness of him.

misguided fools
Deltron Z? Automator? Kook Keith? Hip-hop in the U.S. is alive and kicking. "Intelligent" rap won't find itself on the dancefloor, which is why mainstream rap exists, whereby Tupac, Biggie Small, Emimem, Ice Cube, etc... dominate. If you want to hear about social issues, listen to Ice Cube while growing up in South Central and you'll understand. The fact is that all of you "worldly cultivated" pantsies are too lazy to look further than what the mainstream media or the Top Billboard is feeding you. Of course, you were introduced to MC Solaar by "Sex in the City". I rest my case. Nuff said.

Great even though I don't speak french
I have been in love with MC Solaar ever since I heard him on Sex and the City. This CD did not let me down.

nice
alright people, i almost NEVER listen to hip-hop, but apparently i might if i was from france. this is a really good sounding cd. i almost wish i could speak french because ive heard how much better this guy is lyrically compared to commercialized rap in the US. really smooth and melodic for the most part, as far as hip-hop goes in my mind, this is really good. dont care what language its in.

Awesome all the way through
This cd is really awesome. it's so much better than American rap, it's more true to what rap is all about- and the way it used to be. They lyrics (i speak french) are really great and the tunes are just amazing. I don't even listen to rap music and i absolutely love this cd. i reccomend it to ANYONE!
