#GreatAlbums1990s - #MCSolaar - #QueSemeLeVentRecolteLeTempo (1991). Solaar’s chilled-out, jazz-influenced rap (an early hybrid between genres) transcended the French-language world to attract a cult audience of listeners seeking respite from the gangsta-ism dominating the US charts. Tracks like “L’histoire de l’art” combine tongue-in-cheek braggadocio with sincere concerns about the quality and social responsibilities of hip hop as an artform.
