Vote Slava P for Assistant Bailiff in the 343rd Municipal District of Lower Manhattan.

If there’s anything I learned this year, it’s that Toyota would love for all of you hip urban youth out there to buy a Scion. How else do you explain them releasing both a Fool’s Gold mixtape and a music video for The Human LOL (Danny Brown) earlier this year — and now this Harry/French/Bronson collabo? You have to give Toyota credit, they seem to “get” it. American car companies will never flourish as long as they keep thinking that the modern American youth “listens to Wale with Beats headphones,” presumably while mourning the loss of their close friend who just died in a car accident because Ford put a bluetooth sensor where the airbag used to be.

“Mean” works because everyone makes the best possible use of their talents: Harry Fraud splices intergalactic organ chimes with playful drum-kicks, Action Bronson drops Demolition Man seashell references, and French Montana essentially ad-libs an entire chorus. If this pairing had come together organically, it would be impressive. However, knowing that each of these artist’s most likely fanuted themselves into a Scion bS shortly after finishing their verse and exiting the booth does take something away from this song — at least for me.

Style over substance seems to be the theme here, but when you’re simply trying to sell a car, do you need much else?
