Hate the way he rhymes from a technical stand point. His rhyme schemes fukking suck for some one so lyrical. No flow or structure whatsoever.

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:

Bruh, stop that. The niqqa had like one album. It was between Him and Tabi Bonney as the two up & coming DMV stars. Most ppl was fukkin with Tabi more with his "pocket" song since that song jive is talkin bout G0-GO even tho you can get into a "pocket" during any type of music :hula:

Then since Wale signed with Ross, he's the most popular out now. But like everyone been saying, he just carries himself like if he already made it.
I know he impressed some execs before Ross signed him. I guess it got to his head???
Overall he's okay, but DMV ain't fukkin with him AT ALL. When I say that, I mean in terms of what you'd catch a nikka riding around bumpin. Wale has NEVER been "cool" in that way. I put my LIFE on that comment. And I LIKE Wale

nikka's character is fukkin awful.

As a MC he is slightly above average. The nikka has absolutely NO charisma. And it always seems like he is always fukking complaining in a interview or he drunk as fukk being a overall ass.

No Charisma :wtf:
I wouldn't say all that. Its just. Well first off, let me explain DC Swag to you all.
DC has an odd style. They always kinda rode to this weird style beat.
The best way I can explain it. Take Jim Jones, Bird Gang.
DC nikkaz try to carry themselves like they on some NYC-South type steez?
Like, NY'ers stereotypically are looked at as being somewhat cocky?
But its like a cultural/local thing.

DC, they haven't earned shiit yet in the scope of things as far as hip-hop concerned.
Wale got big upped by Jigga, then all of a sudden he got too confident. And thats sort of the vibe of the youth movement in general.
Everybody RICH, everybody got money to blow. Everybody ballin and got it like that :manny: Everybody the best to ever done it and shyt.

Wale is a portrayal of the DC mindset. The look, the swag. I'll give him that, but I personally was never a huge fan of what that "DC swag" was anyway. Never seemed authentic to me. Some nikkaz still wearing Coogi n shyt :smh:

Hmmm makes sense.


But it seems like Wale actually grew up in Maryland sub-urbs, and he always gets real sensitive when people call him out on it.

its not that he's arrogant, rappers like jay and cam'ron are cocky as fukk and people love em for it. with wale it seems forced and unnatural like he's playing a character


he's talented though, he'd be a great ghostwriter

90% of the reasons people are mentioning in here have nothing to do with music...


Social media, youtube and all the access has really killed hip hop in some ways..They want to know and like these artists personally now, when that never used to be the case...Im glad I didn't know then, what I know now about Q-Tip while I was bumping those Tribe Classics..

He's just not that good really. I'll prob never think "Hey I really want to hear some Wale right now".

There's nothing special about him imo.

I can acknowledge that alot of these newer rappers are talented, but most of them lack that quality that makes you want to listen to them.
