This is the widest wanna-feel-old gap I’ve seen (or felt) in a minute. There are ten years between this cover of “Hustlin’” and today. Who seems most like a person from the past—Lykke Li or Rick Ross? Is the oldest bit here the idea that you could, and would, do an acoustic cover of a rap song?

One moment in this video doesn’t seem old. A minute before she stops playing, Lykke Li turns to the crowd and asks, “Don’t you got any jobs? Are you not, like, working hard?”
