lol honestly being from the area, the Wale hate is just cos he was arrogant at times. My only take right now is guys like Fat Trel (supposedly not from DC either) how they gon come in the game cos his the only street rapper on the scene right now w/ some level of gangsterism around him unlike Young Moe lol. Like can Trel make a cohesive mixtape, yet alone an album is still up in the air right now imo. My only beef w/ DMV rappers right now is that they are still tryna sell an image, but thats cos most DMV rappers are funded by street nikkas. So you get a guy like Phil Ade who's sharp w/ the pen but still has to bring out the fact he has OG's behind him.
If anything Wale coming out the way he did gave chance to corny dudes like Logic to get some level of shine (then again he was signed to a deal for 2yrs falsifying the fake underground image, so yeah those views were bought lol).
