Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo is the debut studio album by French rapper MC Solaar. The title is a pun on the French version of the Biblical proverb "qui sème le vent récolte la tempête" (he who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind, Hosea 8:7). The song samples Lou Donaldson's "One Cylinder". It was released in 1991 and gained considerable 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".
