Wipe your mouth, nigga. According to reports, Chris Brown was sentenced today to five years probation and 180 days of community service for duffin’ Rhianna last February. He’s also ordered to stay 50 ft. away from the singer. If he violates the terms, he faces the maximum sentence of four years behind bars. Don’t think you’d want that mustache in there, pal.
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.
