The Downfall
Live from Bedford-Stuyvesant, B.I.G.’s daughter T’yanna returned to her father’s stomping grounds with Sharon Carpenter. She spoke on Poppa’s legacy, her own inspirations and more. globalgrind
The daughter of the late B.I.G. appeared on Hot 97’s morning show alongside her mother Jan. Now at 18 years old, the Penn State student discussed her father, working, and relationships with Faith and Lil Kim.
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.
