As A Rapper, Tell Me What Does Wale Lack?

[PhonZhi]

keep your opinions about him AS A PERSON to yourself. I know he can come off as a cornball. But on the mic, tell me what he lacks. To me he's one of the best out easily. Right now, Lupe is pretty much the only person seein dude. When he calls himself "genius" I cant disagree at all. He''s in my top 10 alltime already

Mic presence, delivery and flow IMO

My wife loves dude. I just have not given him a proper shot. This week will be Wale week.

It's not what he lacks, it's how he presents himself. I used to think he was the future back in his mixtape days. shyt I still bump 100 miles and Running. But when he signed to MMG he lost that hunger and started spouting pseudo intellectual "poetry". It's like he tries too hard now.

 

[PhonZhi]

That "poetry" is what really got me. That spoken word shyt made me realize how ill of a lyricist he really is.

as a rapper ......nothing

as an artist ......sales and popularity

 

[FlyGuy]

It.

On the microphone and as an artist I think he lacks any form or feeling of being genuine. His "deep, flip flop on a milk crate" style verses come off too mechanical. they don't feel like genuine poetic creations. to say that in your opinion he rivals Lupe Fiasco, I am at liberty to utilize the following smiley;






Lupe Fiasco rhyme schemes, as well as the plot's he intertwines into those schemes is like when the Monolith appeared on earth to primitive man/ape in the 2001 space odyssey. Lupe so outside the realm of capacity that Wale could contrive that it's not even valid for debate.

I do not believe Wale is garbage, no not at all. creatively he does gleam from time to time, prime example is his "about nothing" series and how he tied it to Seinfeld. Wale is a mediocre rapper, and that's being typed with no hate or ill-will towards him. he just isn't dope enough in my books.

he isn't selling like drake or kanye but he never had a issue selling records outside of his debut.

 

[VanVanCity]

He thinks he is smarter than he is

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Dude just needs to do more. He can rap and he's not really lacking much.

More effort into making songs people care about. He's certainly talented.

His voice just kinda annoys me, he kinda sound like shenanay on the mic.

His lyrics are slick, but he lacks that certain something that makes them stand out.

That being said, i like his new song, girls on drugs.

[CarltonJunior]

The number 1 thing for me is his beats.

The number 2 thing is that he's not in the top tier of lyricists, though he presents himself like he is.

 

[HearNoEvil]

His lyrics are nice but none of them stick. All his peers, Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, Rocky, I can think of quotes off the top of my head. That's not the case for Wale.
