Customer Reviews:

Best franch rap album ever........2006-05-10

I grew up listening to this album. Since then I moved to the US and I just pick it back up, and it still great.

Intelligent French Rap "par excellence"!.......2000-05-20

"Meteque et Mat" is different, especially compared to American Rap / Hip-Hop - and that is it's strength! Akhenaton's lyrics are intelligent, not the 'motherf*****-style' (which one sometimes needs though, but can also get enough of). The rather soft beats please the ear and suggest typical Marseille-flair. The album contains many excellent 'wanna-listen-to-all-day-tracks' such as "L'Americano" [stuffed with witty lines about 'Americanos' ;) ], "Je suis peut-etre..." or "Meteque et Mat". I think who likes Marseille-style French Rap will like this album - it's par excellence!

Drive to Paris.......2000-04-16

A friend of mine advised me about Meteque & Mat, I will always be thankful. The sounds are great the lyrics even better. I drove to Paris in France to buy this CD I could not find it anywhere. If I didn't owe it now.... I would fly to Paris to buy it Again.

Indulge yourself on some great music.

Excellent work of art; pure-bred hip hop at its fullest........1998-09-05

Why can't Americans appreciate hip hop like the French do? Real hip hop in France is mainstream, and Akhenaton represents it to the fullest. One of the best producers around, as well as one of the best rhymers. Métèque et Mat is pretty much a classic, get lucky and get the one with 2 bonus tracks.

Excellent music and lyrics.......1998-07-12

This is probably the best of French hip hop. The music shows a lot of imagination and lyrics are well written and inspired: they are intelligent and illustrate perfectly the problems young people from the big cities suburbs are confronted with...and their dreams !
