Just Gets Better 5 Feb 2004
By DL Productions UK TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
1998, and IAM are probably one of the biggest French hip hop outfits around, just about beating NTM, Assasin and Arsenik. The hype is touching France, with kids rushing to go to their gigs and venues packed out. So how do they do it? How do they bring so much excitement to a dull French pop chart? Well, the lyrics are fresh, real and interesting, and the instrumentals are good, none of that cliché'd hip hop, a lot of rappers were stringing together towards the end of 1998.

So, the school of the silver mic, do Akhenaton and Shurik'n belong there? Sure do, tracks like "petit frere", "le saga" and "dangerous" show that these guys can give people like Sunz of Mann a run for his money, and Timbo King. Their lyrics on "petit frere" are inspirational - talking about little brother breaking into cars, and the media coverage of deliquant behaviour in Marsaille.

But this isn't the only good songs on Ecole De Micro Argent, far from: "Nes Sous La Meme Etoile" is the tale of how people are born in the same area, but some get rich quick while others have to stay in the ghetto; "Empire Du Cote Obscur" is a look into Marsaille's ghettos; "Regarde" with it's cool soundscape and "Chez La Mac", all about dealers and such.

This is an amazing album, just as good as their last two, but with a nice difference. The gang don't let us down, which is really nice. The beats are fresh and up to date for 1998, fits in nicely with everything else on the scene at the time.

If you don't have this, it's worth getting, you won't regret it. Specially if you like the Wu Tang Clan.

IAM have once again excelled themselves with yet another example of how Frech Rap is rapidly over-taking it's US counterpart in style and intelligence. This really is a very good collection of some of their greatest hits and even those who don't understand the words (yes surprisingly enough it's in French!) will definately love the samples and simply the way they deliver their line (particularly Akhenaton). Their gritty and often abrasive tones make this album what it is and people who also like Star Wars should listen out for the "Empire de la Cote Obscure" (Empire of the Dark Side) track on the first CD.

SUBLIME 21 April 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This Is truly a monumental album. I can't praise it enough. As someone has already said, its in French but I think that just enhances it. The sounds and rythms are just so good. I really can't explain how good it is.

And the lyrics are SO HEAVY, if you have a poor grasp of french like me, just take time to read the lyrics. They really are impressive.

I was fortunate enough to drive through Marseille last year in the summer with this album blaring out of the car. I got a few odd looks, being in a British car listening to IAM - and also alot of respeckk!

Buy this album if its the only French Hip Hop album you ever buy.

Stand out tracks

3. Nes Sous La Meme Etoile
5. Petit Frere
6. Elle Donne Sons Corps Avant Son Nom
15. Independenza
16. Demain, C'est LoinI

P.S. Paris Sous Les Bombes - by NTM is also rather large
