His albums are never BAD just kind of underwhelming. I'm still waiting for that quintessential Wale ALBUM that from front to back defines Wale as an artist. My favorite studio album of his remains Ambition but he's got the talent and drop something MUCH better in my opinion.

This shut right HERE though is excellent. @LinusCaldwell you might be getting a review hopefully before the weekend is over
You know we and the people always appreciate your work breh

Giving it an 8/10. Production wasn't as dynamic as I would have liked, so it left me feeling like I heard the same track like 3 or 4 times on here. Dope tape though.

These were my highlights

Publishing Checks
It's too Late
Thought It (we don't believe you)
Gangsta Boogie (great feel and good to hear from some OGs. I hope this makes the album)
Day By the Pool (cool metaphor)
bytches Like You (this dude Cam :laff:)
Ms. Moon (really smooth joint)
Smackdown Raw (really wish this were longer (TSC crew got one with this))

:snoop: Can't believe the Still Up joint is this bad. Him and Phil Ade are usually great on tracks. Production was solid but it felt like there was so much wasted time. Wale seemed like he mailed it in on this one.

GODDAMN THIS shyt IS STRAIGHT FIRE:banderas:


Wale suffers from the "Mixtape is better than the album" syndrome but his mix tapes are almost ALWAYS heat rocks
No he doesnt

He has 1 mixtape that people hold in high regard and thats the "More about nothing"

Every Wale fans feels like all his fans are exceptional.

I think this clown @Ziggiy has me on ignore so someone quote this post so he can see

Dude, you are not the distinct voice of hiphop opinion.

The Album About Nothing is that album. shyt is literally heat from start to finish. One of the top hiphop albums released all of last year.

Why don't he just release shyt as an album then? He's 4 albums deep he can let his fanbase wait/anticipate.

The track list looks female-centric but I'm about to give dude a fair shake like always.
