khaled's got a strange relationship with culture in all its forms. he mutates it. creates these steroided up, assassin clones out of it.
to use (and arguable problematic analogy) he's like the gulf monarchs who buy up local football teams and turn them into these ruthless international money making machines. he takes a culture, guts it and Manchurian candidates it.
he makes music that sounds like when some arab oil oligarch builds a fake island in the middle of the sea with laods of palm trees and all that.
a ruthless capacity to impose his will against reality through sheer brutal superficiality.
