4.0 out of 5 stars
Dakar the hip-hop capital of Africa?, March 11, 2003
This review is from: Salaam (Audio CD)
In comparison to quantity of hip-hop acts in Africa, South Africa wins hands down. However if you are comparing via quality, West Africa, particulary Senegal is a thriving and inventive zone of hip-hop. Look no further than this album which really pioneered West African hip-hop. At times this album seems over produced, but the flow, and humor of the lyrics make this album an excellent experience. Perhaps French is the best language for rap, at least Postive Black Soul, along with another Senegalese born rapper, MC Solaar, make a point in favor of French as the smoothest language for rap.
