Kai Cenat Doesn't Know Who Wale Is.

[Finesse]

You would be surpirsed alot of the younger generation have no idea who alot of yo faves are. nikkas dont know Mobb Deep, Ludacris, Jeezy n shyt like that no mo.

Hip Hop is dead and i blame the south

Wale just had a #22 Billboard 100 hit in 2019 with “On Chill” that got play everywhere.

"Just had a hit" 6 years ago

That's so far back if you ask people what's the first word you think of when I say Corona they would say beer

Going to try that shyt on my wife for her birthday.

Not get her anything and be like "but I just got you that diamond necklace 6 years ago"

 

[T-K-G]

Shows like 106 and Park was already cancelled by the time Wale's Album About Nothing dropped. We are on a niche hip-hop forum expecting kids to consume music the way we did is crazy lol

Yep, these nikkas in here really just exposing how stupid they are

Not knowing what Wale looks like doesn't = never listening to rap music growing up, the ONLY reason the vast majority of people knew how artists looked was because of the countless music video shows that were on TV at the time.

We're aren't in that era anymore and these members can't understand how that changes things.

Sad part is the posters who feel that way probably got a weak ass group of friends IRL too so they'll never understand how crazy their stances are on this stuff

You He was 18 then. No excuse to not know a song that was actually played at Black functions.

But he wanna be shocked Glo didn’t know a Kanye song that didn’t get play at Black functions.

You think Wale was getting played where 18 year olds frequent in 2019?

Damn how young do you gotta be to not even know him, we getting old if blog era dudes are forgotten lol
I get he was never big like that but he was on no hands, pyt, lotus flower bomb plus you know the sneaker thing etc

All these songs are oldies atp

Rap fans are hilarious now. How can fans that only had radio and tapes know more about rappers than kids that have all kinds of ways to see rappers? By some logic in here a lot of us shouldn’t know Rakim, Kane, KRS, etc. I knew about certain artists rap or legends at 6 years old… that’s when I only had either radio, random video shows, or soul train. Them rappers from the Wale era are going to be super forgotten because their peer fans don’t care and people like Kai and others around his age want to be on that I don’t know you shyt. Imagine saying “he was 10 he don’t know these artists” Man it’s 5 year olds that can take your phone from you and find games they like. Kids are not oblivious to life anymore lol. shyt like this is why it’s Kendrick, Drake, Cole, then it gets dicey and it’s been that way for several years at this point.

There are a lot more rappers now. Also, none of what you said means someone should know who Wale is

I bet Kai knows rappers that your never heard of

 

[BronxFleeZ]

nikka in his mid 20s and was raised in atl and ny, this ain't surprising

You have gave reason why this nikka should know who WALE IS bro

 

[CHICAGO]

Wale wasn't a huge star like that nor did he have any memorable videos like that to solidify him to the masses

This ain't the 90's where everyone was aware of every celebrity Wale is not the artist to be having this kind of debate over at ALL


I get that this is a hip hop site but y'all be living in an alternate reality sometimes with these takes

NOPE

HES JUST A COSPLAYING VULTURE




​

 

[Heretic]

Not gonna lie, the way music is consumed these days, if I was a young 20 something, I wouldn't know who Wallace is either.

 

[Pure Water]

The only way this can be rationalized is if he didn't listen to rap growing up. I think his parents are from the islands so that may explain it. Maybe he didn't start listening to rap music until he was a teenager. Even still, that's kind of far-fetched but idk.

I just asked my cousin do he know Wale and he said yea and he was born in 03. But we're AA and this Hip-Hop shyt ain't just something we pick up as a teenager. We live and breathe this shyt from birth. So, idk. I don't think he's lying though.

NOPE

I think it's clear now dude don't know shyt about Black Americans the more shyt gets posted about him, you mean to tell me this nikka never heard No Hands.

 

[Capitol]

BTW how come it's corny and emotional when Wale confronts people over perceived disrespect but it was cool when other rappers do it. If he was a gangster rapper his pull up stat would be pretty high

 

[FlimFlam]

this forum is infactuated with the fact that the nba and its premier players doesn't have pull like it used to

but Wale of all people above that fray lol

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

To be fair Wale fell off bout 15 years ago. Kai is only 23.

 

[KFBF]

I think it's clear now dude don't know shyt about Black Americans the more shyt gets posted about him, you mean to tell me this nikka never heard No Hands.

Think it's possible have heard it but not know who it was. Like who the fukk is talking about Roscoe Dash in 2025.

 

[No Homo]

Yall acting like Wale is or was some mega star. This not surprising at all
