[vodpod id=Video.14151525&w=540&h=350&fv=] Ah man, we’ve come a long way baby. With MTV celebrating their 30th birthday on Monday, VH1 dug into their archives and dusted off a 17-year-old clip of Yo! MTV Raps host Fab 5 Freddy explaining email. It’s easy to laugh now, but back then, this was some futuristic shit. Who would’ve thought technology would’ve come so far that you can send an email, or access the internet for that matter, via a mobile device. If you were […]

Sharon Carpenter of PIX 11 stopped by the showcase and caught a glimpse of his work. The gallery runs until July 1st. Check it out.
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.

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.
