It hasn't aged a single wrinkle and still sounds as crisp as it did when it came out. For if it is essential to mark one's era, it is necessary to go beyond this status to enter the pantheon of classic works, those both contemporary and timeless. L'ecole du micro d'argent is the definitive French rap classic, a photograph from the late '90s, a collection of fables told by wise shaolin warriors. This is the polar star of French rap, the lighthouse that guides it despite the surrounding fog and the violence of the waves. If there was only one album of the genre you would have to listen to, this would be the one.
