OK album.......2006-05-10

Most people like Sol invictus better, but personally I like this one better. Not by much, if I could I would have given it 3.5 out of 5.

For aficienados of American rap.......2004-04-03

In general, I find French rap much more meaningful than commercialized American rap. Of course, there was good social commentary from Tupac, but it seems to have faded to a chorus of incoherent banter about sleeping with women.

Like American rap, French rap speaks of the experience of being a minority in a hostile environment. Like other French rappers, Akhenaton takes a lot of influence from American rap. There is a greater range of fusion in the music, though. Puff Daddy will take 70s rock and make a lame album with that, but Akh. samples African beats as well as classical or Oriental music.

Even if you don't understand French, this is a good album to listen to as a change of pace when you tire of lyrics like "Move ---, get out the way" "You'z a ho" or "I like big butts and I cannot lie"

THE RETURN OF AKHENATON???.......2003-09-22

His first solo album "Meteque et Mat" was a bomb, then he came with "Sol Invictus" which was ok, and now the "Black Album". I was very dissapointed with this album, I expected more from Mr.Akh. The lyrics lack originality, which made "Meteque et Mat", and all his work with IAM very good. It seems that this album is really a continuation of "Sol Invictus". Some of his songs here like "Une journee chez le diable", J'voulais dire", and "Mes soleils et mes lunes", were taken from Sol Invictus and added on the Black Album. Without a doubt, the best song on this cd is "Akh", makes me listen to this song over and over again. Another great one is "Ecoeure". This cd is ok, but not Akhenaton's best work, his best solo work is "Meteque et Mat". If you dont have any of Akhenaton's solo cd's, I would recommend "Meteque et Mat", over this one "Black Album".
