Someone made a comment on here recently that summed up perfectly my feelings on Wale

(Paraphrasing) "I wouldn't associate with a nikka like Wale in real life, so why should I care about his music?"

A freaking buzz. Why doesn't he go the Lil Wayne and Gucci route and build a buzz for him. Drop a freestyle destroying everybody else's song. Worked for Wayne, he was killing everyone's beat that the people couldnt wait to hear what he would do to his own songs. Hence why Tha Carter 3 went 3x platinum at a time when rappers were lucky to sell 70k.

Wale is complete fighting temptations church rap trash.
He has no real mic presence.
He impersonates and bites the high point of every cliche MTV popular based rapper.
He has horrible vocal tonality and is offkey as all fukk'n hell.
He has no high quality vocals worth a damn and no convincability bar to bar because of this as well.
He is awful on the important breaks and has no ill factor.
to close out the breaks or any bars worth a damn as well.

Duke is completely payola and marketing and a joke as an emcee.

He is the epitome of an artist I would easily give the Dana Owens to.
Yet, he was not ever good enough to actually buy a physical copy for.
To toss out on I 90,...


fukk wale.

Sometimes the way he raps, sounds more like Advanced Hooked On Phonics, than actual lyricism derived from Literature.
:pachaha:
Technically, he good with the rhyme schemes though, but god damn his flows and deliveries do nothing for me, which is ironic.:patrice:

Be from DC, and stay getting outrapped by feature artists the Coli despises who are from bigger cities with strong Rap scenes, that kind of puts it in perspective.
