I'm not overly impressed on a Lupe level, but overall he's decent, he maybe bland, but not completelely boring....he just doing his craft......................any rapper trying to make it out of the DMV is going to up a very steep hill...........but he's made it, more or less...hence the hate is turnt up.................he's a 2nd generation dark skin West African, Maryland suburb raised rapping........oh he's going to catch it........ :mjpls:

Wale elevated the game when it was need of a pilot. His debut album was eh, but he really hit his stride now....More About Nothing and Eleven-One-Eleven are great mixtapes and Ambition was better then the albums of every rapper in his class easy.

These dudes are all just going off guest features and shyt, GTFO :birdman:

I can def fukk with some of his music but I don't like that vibe that's emanating from him. As has been said, he can't take criticism well and he needs to show more humility.

Dude been getting love around here for a minute :rudy:

But yeah he's my favorite rapper right now. I understand why a lot of people aren't feeling him but I don't see what's corny about him tbh. He just be spittin. Them love songs do blow my high though.

He kills most his features and his bars and concepts are top notch right now:win:


:shaq2: maybe in DC but they never used to play his shyt in Baltimore..only just recently they started

That video of him in the studio with Curren$y put me off him. He came across as a childish cornball nikka trying to get attention, killing the buzz banging on drums and shyt. Randomly showing up to the studio on some unwanted Busta-style collaboration shyt, Curren$y looking like he can't stand his ass.

The real reason why people dont really feel him is cause he's an overly emotional nikka who doesn't handle criticism well...and acts as if he's already that nikka, when in reality he just started getting love in the DMV.


Boom!!! I co-sign all of this.....

Dude is nice to me...he just sensitive as hell. He stay going in on somebody cause they say they don't like his music.....

usually its the fans of these rappers that put you off of them (Budden/Lupe) but in Wales case it's actually him himself.

he got a chip on his shoulder like the world owes him something.
respect to him from coming back from a little rut he was in when it looked like his career was going nowhere and took full advantage of his 2nd chance but he'll never get to that upper level he wants and seems to think he should be at if he responds to every little negative thing.

wouldn't call myself a big fan of his but i like 3 maybe 4 of his projects... without really playing them like that.

I really liked this dude's raps up until Attention Deficit dropped then he just struck me as a dude that tried too hard. That being said I think 3 or 4 of his mixtapes are ill.

Everyone looked like they didn't give a damn he was there :laff:

Wale: "I was just in the other room recording and wanted to stop by!"

Curren$Y - "Go finish the song now :hmm:"

Wale can actually rap tho

some people read to much into the Wale/Currensy studio situation

Currensy was just chilling, rolling up and observing...he didn't even look like he was paying attention to all that rah rah noise Wale was making

but I agree Wale prolly had one too many energy drinks that day

He's an arrogant bytch made nikka. No amount of leather jackets will change that fact. I like his verse on Currency's new album, Ambition had some good tracks etc but dude is so soft I can't listen to him seriously.

Him and Royce are the only sub par rappers that piss me off due to their arrogance. Usually I don't give a shyt but these nikkas act like they killas or something.

Yeah, how dare he come in unannounced, spit a hot verse and a hook off the dome in one take that Curren$y was so impressed by that he made the song his lead commercial single. :aicmon:
