Indeed it was era-defining for the genre. In France we had L'École Du Micro D'Argent, from IAM a couple years later, same level of mind blowing music

Not French, I don't understand a word of what they're saying, but man, I love that album. Especially "Demain, c'est loin", an epic tune that gives me Wu Tang "Triumph" vibes.

My favourite song of all time. I learned the 9 minutes lyrics in 99 and can still sing it from memory today

Still IMO the greatest French rap album of all time. Fantastic from start to finish.
