MC Solaar

MC Solaar really caught my interest when one of my friends from class (Lauren Horner) said that he was good. The first song I listened to him happened to be all about America (I will post it at the bottom) It is called "Nouveau Western". MC Solaar is the stage name of Claude M'Barali he was born March 5, 1969. He is known as one of the most internationally popular and influential French rappers. He is known for his complexity, which is based off of wordplay, lyricism and philosophical inquiry and honestly I think he does a great job at all of those. His music is extremely catchy. MC Solaar has been around since 1991 and has been very successful since then. He actually was featured in an American Hip-Hop artist's song, Missy Elliot's 'All In my Grill'. I find this funny because I've heard this so many times and never recognized that he was featured in it.
