For a talented as I think Wale is, I can’t figured out why his music typically sounds so blah to me. Outside of Fluctuate, the album is a snooze fest to me. I genuinely feel he could make great music though, just don’t know what the disconnect is.

He's too plain. It's very rare, if ever, a person sells or pops that doesn't have a lane. He's not a street rapper, he's not looked at as a ladies rapper, a party rapper, a spiritual rapper, a flossy rapper, drug dealer rapper, a boom bap rapper, a conscious rapper, pod head rapper, college rapper, nothing. He's just kind of...there. And his music sounds like it. I don't get any feel from him. Fans like to identify with the person first and foremost, that's what gravitates them more to your music.

I think his social media personality (being sensitive) undermined his artistic ability

He went from being one of the top rappers in his class in terms of following to being the guy people just knew for being sensitive on Twitter and IG, it was a wrap after that

album was still quality though so whatever

Wale is the Vikings

You think they have a shot at the playoffs, can’t really pinpoint what’s wrong with them, but never really a serious threat :manny:

Yall gotta let this sales thing go..

Elton John just sold 12,000 first week.

Elton John will still get 100 milli of his upcoming tour.

Sales go away the longer you in it.

This guy just compared Wale to Elton John:mjlol:


The people buying those Elton John concert tickets don’t want to hear new music from him.

I liked 5 songs from his album, and that’s the first time I’ve listened to a full project from him since 2012.

his talent level didn't/doesn't overpower how obnoxious he was, simple as that

we've seen annoying people still be successful cuz the music had that kinda of impact, he never did but in his head he did :mjlol:

I Kinda like that about him doe .

He can make a ladies song , then get off some bars then make a party song or some soulful shyt .





Still don’t know many rappers that can make a beautiful song like this .


If you don’t feel like then I don’t know :manny:.
