On a smaller, personal scale, this song reminds me of the late DJ Mehdi, who was never better than when playing these 'full on', block-party oriented hip-hop and funk sets, with a huge smile, booty-shake and hand-clapping, and would never fail in including "Empire State Of Mind" (in the last 2 years that is).* Please see the FAQ tab for more information on the 10-year investment term.

With a context of war, back-to-basics and economic recession, the years 00 were paradoxically in US and occidental mainstream pop the climax of celebrating blingish supersuccess, 'winner attitude', simplified/childish 'cool' (or rather : signs of it), and somehow dissing nuance, subtlety, humor and culture as excuses for the weak and loser. |
