"Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo" is French rapper MC Solaar's first album. The title is a pun on the French proverb "qui sème le vent récolte la tempête" (he who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind). It was released in 1991 and gained enormous success.

"Bouge de là" was the album's first single, which was hugely successful in France and went on to kickstart Solaar's career there. The song is based on a sample of "The Message" by 1970s English band Cymande.

Other popular singles from the album are "Caroline" and "Victime de la mode".
