Although Nas turns 40 years old on Saturday, he celebrated his born day with Hennessy last night at Avenue nightclub in NYC. With DJ Mos and D-Nice on the turntables, guests included Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Maino, and Special Ed. Here’s film of him addressing his party goers.
With DJ Premier on the 1s and 2s, Troy Ave, A$AP Ferg, Torae and Special Ed brought today’s RapFix Live to a close with a cipher. No cursing guys.
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.
