MMG’s Stalley and Wale were both commissioned for the new theme music for ESPN’s First Take. Here’s the final word, titled “Every Word Great” featuring hosts Stephen Smith and Skip Bayless. Debate on that!
Hov and his celebrity friends celebrated the grand re-opening last night of the 40/40 Sports Bar in NYC. Even Warren Buffett stopped by. Weren’t on the guest list? Well, check out some pics after the jump.
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.
