C'est tres, tres cool

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...question was called Qui Seme le Vente Recolte le Tempo and I remember being pretty impressed by the slick, jazzy hip hop that was unlike anything I’d heard before. I’m not a great fan of this style of music, but I clearly recollect thinking… oh, this is good. Completely different to the grating, bassier NWA and Public Enemy I’d been exposed to previously, MC Solaar was much smoother, more melodic, altogether a more complete ...
...opinion, anyway! Le Tour de la Question (1998) is to date his only live album, and includes tracks from the four previous albums, Qui Seme le Vente Recolte le Tempo, Prose Combat, Paradisiaque, and the self titled MC Solaar. Each of these studio albums has its high points, and each is impeccably recorded, but Le Tour de la Question adds an entirely new dimension to his reach as an artist. ~THE FORMAT~ This is a double CD containing a total of 15 ...

Review of Le Tour De La Question - MC Solaar

MC Solaar Prose Combat

Advantages: A new feel to hip-hop, both in style and language
Disadvantages: None

MC Solaar's second, and without doubt, best LP. For those of you who don't know MC Solaar is a french rapper, who has almost single handedly brought french hip-hop to the rest of the world, and paved the way for other artists such as IAM and Fabe to follow. His sucess has spawned five albums, plus a live album, to date, as well as work on GURU's Jazzmattaz project and the "La Haine" soundtrack. This album is by far the best of the five and is consistently ...
...speak or understand much french the quality of the beats (from his producer and DJ, Jimmy Jay) are superb whilst the lyrical deliver is first class. His style would be the french equivalent of Mos Def or Common, very smooth and laid back. Treat yourself to something different and buy this album, I assure you you won't be dissappointed. Too many stand out tracks to mention, just give it a go. ...

...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...

Can't Nobody Do X-Mas Like...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ...
