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 puts too much of his personal taste into his music, ego driven.

Wale should’ve called his album certified lover boy. He doing these soulful chick tracks better than Drake never thought I’d see the day. The album is probably his best front to back. Very impressed with this one way better than his last two efforts.

I mean listen

:mjcry:

These two tracks could get any human being in their feelings. Wale like the LL of his era. Just not a sex symbol in the same vein. He’s the quintessential HBCU rapper ironically repping the DMV heavy. A decade deep still putting out top tier music. Did it all without a Drake feature. A song between the two about relationships wrongs would be fire.

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.


holy shyt, this is the perfect description of Wale :russ:

Cole the better rapper, makes more interesting alluring music, kills it on features, etc

huge differences between the two. im not even a big cole fan. But cole is significantly better than Wale
Nah. But that’s your opinion.
To me, Cole has only 2 good retail albums. But white people have bought into him. And he doesn’t overshare on social media. Wale is much more clever lyrically. Cole has too many cringy lines. “I’m the shyt you can’t out fart me”? That dollar and a dream tour doing shows for a buck did wonders for him I think

Truthfully speaking, he kinda sold out his artistic integrity with his MMG run. The association with Ross ironically gave him his greatest successes but furthered the deviation in the kind of rapper he was leaving his lane.

Soon as Ross slowed down individually it was a wrap for Wale. He was dependent on how popping MMG was as a Brand. I don't know if it was the Interscope branding but Wale was a certified backpacker at one point. If you ask a random they're favorite Wale song is they couldn't tell you (I'd say his verse on Rising Up).

LOL Black people have bought into Cole to. Cole is better and has made music people fw more.

and clever lyrically dont mean shyt, Cole is the better overall rapper and artist having made more enjoyable albums does he have some bad ones? yep, but so does Wale . Plus lyrically, cole has stepped up and is better than Wale now. better rhymer, better at punchlines, just as good at the metpahors/wordplay to.

Cole has too many cringy lines. “I’m the shyt you can’t out fart me”? That dollar and a dream tour doing shows for a buck did wonders for him I think
your still holding on to shyt like this:russell:, go listen to the Off Season

There is a ton of lying in here :mjlol:

There is a reason Cole & Drake (Cole bores with me with a lot of stuff, that said Cole discography >>>>>>>>>>>) are on the level they are, and Wale isn't. There is just a disconnect to his music. "Carmel" & track after that one are the two best on the project.

His persona is just the cherry on top, we stan a guy who just "blah" and sensitive?


Wale is not making a "Pipe Down" please do not interject CLB into this
