Some of Solaar's lyrics are transcribed by someone (I didn't check who, sorry
for lack of credit) at
http://www.imt-mrs.fr/cybercafe/friche_gif/musique/musique.html

The transcriptions are very good pointing out many of the puns and literary
references in his lyrics and of course the slang...

On a side note, thanks to all for the suggestions of french rap compilations,
etc. Im sending off for some of them today....
