C'est vendredi, t'es encore au taf, ça sent méchamment le week-end et t'as les neurones qui fondent. C'est un peu ce moment de la semaine où tu sais pas trop quoi écouter, quand un rien suffit à faire ton bonheur. Cette semaine, la délivrance et l'entame officielle de ton week-end, elle ressemblera à ce nouveau mix de Diplo, l'homme capable du meilleur comme du pire. Ce mix "stricly old school hip hop", on le classera dans la catégorie du meilleur. Clairement, il en existe beaucoup des sélections comme celles-ci, qui célèbrent un certain âge d'or du genre. Mais voilà, comme des petites putes à clics, on se laisse avoir par le tracklisting kilométrique, qui va de J Dilla à Group Home en passant par les Beastie Boys, EPMD ou 2 Pac. Y'en a pour deux heures, y'a fondamentalement rien à jeter et on doit admettre que Diplo est un mec qui a un sens du mix assez incroyable - enfin ça, ça fait des années qu'on le sait.
