Usain Bolt just needs one more big milestone—breaking that 9.5 barrier and hitting sub-19.00... and honestly, there wouldn't be a better stage for it than the London 2012 Olympics☕
Sponsors, TV rights, branding—you know, the whole kit and caboodle including jersey sales, souvenirs, tours, and those big-money stadium deals...
Honestly, turbo folk and this mainstream commercial rap are basically two sides of the same coin—in terms of quality, at least. If you look at what turbo folk represents here, its American equivalent is definitely rap; I think even Bregović mentioned something similar during an interview on some TV show once. There’s really no discernible difference between a sixteen-year-old kid acting all high and mighty listening to someone like Ja Rule versus them blasting Mile Kitić... it's all the same.
Now, don't get me wrong—I find myself heading out to country music bars every now and then. I am fully aware that the music is absolute garbage, but frankly, I just don't care because the atmosphere is great—it's all about the dancing, the laughs, and just having a good time...
I also noticed someone complaining about people blasting country music from their cars lately. Personally, I never judge anyone for what they blast in their ride, but again—what's the actual difference if someone is cranking country music instead of something else? It honestly baffles me... people complain about someone having their windows down while playing country hits, telling them to "have some class," yet nobody says a word about the folks blaring techno or rap... as if those genres are somehow more sophisticated or acceptable.
Let’s be real here: turbo folk is trash, rap is trash, pop is trash... but people listen to it, and we have to accept that. At the end of the day, you can't argue with taste.
