because wale's music is more intelligent and inspiring than trel's. and i'm not even a wale fan, but i can't criticize him for being a middle class black kid spitting middle class black raps. there used to be a time when we had a balance in rap, with the likes of de la and tribe rhyming right alongside the mobb deep's and nas'. nowadays, all it seems is to be this ghetto savage bullshyt. i honestly don't care if wale never attended that high school. if i had a choice between trel or wale, when it came to how i want hip-hop represented, i will pick wale.
Have you listened to Wale's music pre-Ambition?

those weren't middle class black raps, and he wasn't on that middle class black rap shyt.
he was rapping about shoes, clothes,hoes,the go go and sports....it aint exactly intelligent or inspiring either.:heh:

How YOU want hip hop represented, is not how DC wanted themselves represented...and that's why Fat Trel said what he said.. Wale aint from his side....and that's why DC never embraced Wale, not matter how much he tried to pander to college going black girls.

You live in DC? You must be new here?

From my 10 years here, I will say that the majority of young Black DC/PGC youth have that dingy, dirty, unclean look that Trel displays. So I think they relate to him more. Wale being the 1st major rapper out of DC, most of the hood folk here wanted the 1st to represent the majority. "DUSTY"

:what: wale ain't even from DC... and i think that's what trel is low key trying to say. he basically saying, i'm the real dc nikka and this is what dc really represents

wale don't even get much love in dc.. nikkas don't respect him cause he didn't live there, didn't go to school there and only really came out to do shows

then you put out mixtapes and albums and it's all about dc. that'd be like the lox claiming brooklyn. nah nikka y'all from yonkers

sadly you're right tho... most dc nikkas would and DO show fat trel much more love because they feel he represents them better.. lets not forget dc is 80% black and about 95% hoood

“A lot of people look at Wale and they think that’s the vision and that’s how they are,” he continued. “You know, he’s not from my side. He didn’t grow up doing the things that I did. I didn’t graduate high school. I wasn’t thinking about college.

ok Trevor......yeah wales a herb for trying to live the right way

:camby:

Wale is the dude, who made sure to shoot his first big budget video at Cardozo HS in DC....wholetime that nikka never attended ANY high school in DC...that alone should tell you something about him.

how you gonna be tired of dudes representing where they really come from keeping it 100 with you, and try to praise a dude who's faking the funk?

wait.

so because he didn't go to a high school in dc, something that was not his own personal choice, he misrepresented DC

wait…please do tell me all these people that represent DC the right way

Wale is a herb because he tried to represent for a place that he's not really from... not cause he wasn't hood.

what Fat Trel is talking about, is the reality of many DC kids... a bit more than half graduate...most live in or near poverty.

If you didn't go to Cardozo... ( let's say you went to Flowers, Wise, Roosevelt,BCC or even Crossland) would you try to front to unknowing people like you went there JUST for the sake of looking like you're really from DC?

you think that a dude from Garfield Terrace who really went to Cardozo is gonna fukk with you, when you're blatantly fronting?

the dudes that Wale tries to associate himself with... like Trel and Big G at the least, giving you actual representations of DC...not some " I'm not from here, but i'm doing it for all y'all" shyt that Wale tried to pull.

"That’s why there’s not a song with Meek [Mill] because I didn't spend time with him. I didn’t spend one on one time with Meek. I wanted to be that genuine. I could have sent him ten records to put a verse on. I could have sent 20 records for Gunplay to put a verse on. I could have sent five records for Omarion to put a hook on. I didn’t want it that way. I wanted to spend time with them. Get to know them as an artist, so when the songs come out its that real. It’s not put together."

So you're saying him shooting a video in a popular dc high school was him fronting like he's from DC? Am I supposed to believe that he doesn't have friends from Cardozo? Or that nikkas from Cardozo don't rock with him?

Where exactly is Wale from?

He went to Quince Orchard out in Mo County. I've heard Trel went to Largo idk how true that is, he claims he dropped out in the ninth grade
