L'École du Micro d'Argent (pronounced [lekɔl dy mikʁo daʁʒɑ̃]; The School of the Silver Mic) is an album recorded by IAM.

On the track "L'Enfer", a sample from Lalo Schifrin's music for Don Siegel's movie "Dirty Harry" can be heard (the electric piano notes).

More than the ego schemes, the main topic of the album stay the criticism of French society: life in poor suburbs which leads to a reference to slavery, violence of the youth connected with the violence in television and movies, censorship, racism.

In the months following its release, eight of its tracks were played on the rap radio station Skyrock, despite only 4 of them had a music video.

It is widely considered, among both professionals and the audience, as the best French rap album of all time, though not by the band itself.
