Presentiment personified:

Tonight, the Young Money traveling circus begins in Scranton, PA. The 1515 Boys crashed yesterday’s rehearsal and ticket holders take note: Due to Drake’s ACL injury, he will not be performing a full 30 minute set. That’s what we need, a light-skinned dude hobblin’ out in short spurts. Let’s hope it’s not as bad as the BET debacle.

Does anyone think Esco has the money to cough-up per month? You rap geeks are lucky: Nas is gonna be recording rap albums until he’s 65. Ha!
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.
