Two nights ago, The Unit brought the Invitation Tour to Beantwon. In the above clip, 50 fires a shot at Diddy and a playful one at Yayo before Banks bangs out his new single. No Lloyd. No problem. Splash! Sidebar: Peace, Connecticut
Fuck an industry event, Antwan brought the party at the Island bash. Even the ubiquitous producer behind the lead single off Sir Lucious Left Foot joined in on the fun. Stank them later. 57 Update: A couple of more performances from Boi.

“All a nigga want for Christmas is another year”. Mr. Jenkins told ya before and he’ll tell you again.

Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
