Of all the hip-hop that broke through from Europe in the early '90s, it was Parisian MC Solaar (aka Claude M'barali) who stole the show with his debut. The aptly titled Qui Seme le Vent Recolte le Tempo, a play on the proverb "Whoever wants the wind receives a thunderstorm," was the first rap album to achieve platinum sales in France and broke him as an artist to watch worldwide.

[The import edition cuts "C'Est Ca Que Les Gens Veulent," "Hiphopaloorap," and "Homme Qui Voulait Trois Milliards" and replaces them with "Solaar Weeps," "Hasta la Vista (Intro)," "Hasta la Vista," and "Samedi Soir"] ~ Kingsley Marshall, Rovi Read Less
