THE REVIEW
A small rap supported by the repeated and emphasized BER-LUS-CO-NI-DI-MET-TI-TI clearly betrays the widespread discomfort towards the anointed one. But, as we know, the people are never satisfied; they should understand (the people) this man (the anointed), who became a politician (always him, "the anointed") to protect us from the red, Taliban, Islamic, terrorist danger. And to pursue these noble aims (???) he even put his own family in crisis, appearing naked (or almost) on the covers of newspapers.
In this piece, TheTeamPicci (Daniele Silvestri) is having fun (but not too much) riding the purple wave that demonstrated in Rome last week. Among fragments of speeches and applauses extracted from context, the text seems written in three hours while the electronic rhythm appears to be more a result of a Bontempi keyboard predating 1984. We already knew of Silvestri's political leanings, with this latest move who knows if Fazio will host him on RAI3?
P.S.: much better then to listen to Dogma reviewed here or the latest gem (?) by Battiato.

Summary by Bot
The review critiques Daniele Silvestri's 'L’Imperatore Tiberio' as a rushed political rap with outdated electronic elements. While acknowledging the artist's political engagement, it finds the execution lacking and far from Silvestri's better works. The song mocks Berlusconi's controversial politics but fails to impress musically.
