Customer Reviews:

Comparatively a fresh breath of air.......2005-08-09

For the kids who want to get away from the repetitive and unimaginative crap that's on the radio. The CD was released here a year ago, but was available in Europe in 2000. Sounds more crisp and creative than most mainstream hip-hop. Non-French speakers may not appreciate the fact that they won't understand the lyrics, but the music and flow should more than compensate. There are some weaker songs and the single releases of Angela and Que Dit On are much better. Try to find them online, they're worth the extra listen.

Supa. Just plain Supa!.......2005-02-27

This is an amazing album. I might possibly be my favorite album regardless of genre, and I don't even know a word in French. I love X Raisons. This is actually quite a lot better...

They play on ALL hip hop strings that are: Aggressive, laidback, happy, angry, dancehall, raggae, soft, hard, fast & slow. But most importantly: ALL with their hip hop soul punching through in the most utterly funky way. Soulful, organic, flowing, energetic. Impressive.

Wish I knew French, cause I belive the lyrics are quite political and strong. But either way - this album cannot be missed.

I would fly to Paris just to see them live. You should order this album right away.

Amazing Album!!!.......2003-01-02

I first heard this album a few years ago, and I was very much impressed. Although it is all in French (which I can't understand too much) I was awestruck by the group's energy. Amazing MC's and great beats. Their energy is something I wish showed in most hip hop groups here in the States. This album has convinced me to pick up French all over again.

Yeah, you should buy it..........2002-07-17

I saw this crew on television in Paris & knew I'd found something good, and this CD made me feel them even more. Actually, it pretty much wrecked my ability to appreciate most American music, just because Saian does it so much BETTER...Their style is all over the map- every different kind of hip-hop is represented, and they do a great job with all of it. Each song is different from the next and you can pick out the influence of different US groups: The Beatnuts, Gangstarr, Outkast, Wu, Cypress Hill, The Roots, etc. The beats are amazing and the samples are spun creatively (ie no looping), and if you're a beatbox/vocal scratch fan, this is IT. PLUS they can sing. Definitely get this album. Even if you don't speak any French, or just a little (like me), you'll love this one just for the pure hip-hop soul.

a solid cd.......2002-04-19

a really good, solid cd that mixes it up really well between hyper breakin' it down while yo mammas watchin' beats and more subtle, let me assuage your fears and rub my hands all over yours rhythems and flows... a great buy. helps to know a bit of french and a lot of slang. buy their new cd as well.
