		Affirmant qu'il «descend de l'homme sage», infatigable dévoreur de livres, Solaar bâtit patiemment une oeuvre d'auteur atypique: alors qu'il s'éloigne de l'univers rap qui l'a vu naître mais qu'il a depuis longtemps transcendé, il rêve d'un album reggae pour l'an 2000 ou, qui sait, d'un album où l'accompagnerait un orchestre symphonique.

	BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - MC Solaar
		Raised in Cairo and Paris, former footballer MC Solaar was the most prominent of the new breed of French rappers to emerge in the early 90s, translating popularity in his adopted home country onto a wider international stage with a series of strong album releases.
		The album seemed destined to install MC Solaar as one of the undoubted stars of international rap but he failed to build upon the momentum created by its release, falling out with Jay and staying silent for three years before returning with the inferior Paradisiaque.
		The album set the blueprint for MC Solaar's subsequent releases on the EastWest imprint, and although his international market shrunk the rapper remains a strong draw in France.

	CNN.com - MC Solaar - Feb 13, 2006
		Solaar is France's most acclaimed hip-hop artist with six studio albums and more than five million record sales to his name.
		The Solaar sound shuns the violent and misogynistic undercurrent of U.S. rap music in favor of poetical lyricism, elliptical wordplay inspired by a love of literature, a social conscience and the smooth rhythms of acid jazz.
		Born in Senegal to Chadian parents and raised in Paris and Cairo, Claude M'Barali's cosmopolitan upbringing is reflected in his alter ego's music, which mixes western and African influences.

		Solaar has always relied on his innate sense of playfulness to command attention.
		Still, MC Solaar refused to compromise or pull punches with his loyal French and European fan base, releasing the socially provocative Paradisiaque, in 1997.
		Solaar could have infused the comeback effort with the usual hip-hop bells and whistles, but he chose instead to get back to the game he knows best: In your face beats coupled with a sly knack for telling stories.

	MC Solaar
		MC Solaar makes music that is smooth, funky and intelligent.
		In the space of a four-minute song, he manages to incorporate several themes: a young woman's aspiration to be a model, the self-hating reaction of the women jealous of her perceived perfection, and the author's own desire for and admiration of all women.
		This collection of songs was produced in part by Boom Bass, whose brother Sinclair lends his voice to the song "Nouvelle genèse".

	MC Solaar - Cinquieme As
		But lest you think he's just another wordsmith that relies on his mouth speed, MC Solaar trumps a great deal of current American rappers with songs that show a great deal of range in subject matter and tone.
		This may be a hard sell to an audience that overwhelmingly does not understand French, much like your embarrassed author, but just a quick listen will clue you into verses laden with pain, lust, regret, and anger.
		Overall, Cinquieme As is a strong album from a dependably different artist, MC Solaar.

	TrouserPress.com :: MC Solaar
		MC Solaar was, for a time, the biggest hip-hop star in France.
		Solaar has skills — his slick, swiftly delivered rhymes merit comparison to the storied likes of Rakim and Big Daddy Kane — and, more importantly, presence.
		Because his French is even more impenetrable than hip-hop slang, you can't help but focus on the rhythm of Solaar's phrasing; when combined with the richly textured jazz cool unspooled by DJ Jimmy Jay, the result is like great scat singing.

		With the release, in June 1997 of his third album, recorded in Paris and mixed in New York, French rap star MC Solaar has confirmed his status as an international artist without compromising any of his superb serenity.
		Aside from the coded language and aggressive messages aimed at the suburbs, MC Solaar fully endorses his role as an atypical « cliché demolition man ».
		Benefiting from an undeniable media aura, made up of humour and simplicity and true to his own self, this painstakingly accurate observer of contemporary society remains, first and foremost, the caring big brother, someone all the kids want to be friends with.

		CINQUIÈME AS Alone of the first wave of French rappers, MC Solaar has retained the recitative eloquence and personal presence that made him matter way back in 1990, when he began his career.
		His fourth release, Paradisiaque, marked a change: the "other than the way things are" moved out of reach, and so it stays in Cinquième as — except that the music itself portrays these situations so vividly and pours them into your ear so tangibly that they clearly are within reach.
		Can Solaar be telling his hardscrabble Northeast Paris ghetto fans that the things hardest to find are those in plain view in one’s own front yard?
