I've never heard people say "Kendrick ain't from Compton" or "Cole ain't from Fayetteville" nikkas from Wale own city don't claim him 
Wale Been in the Game for Almost a Decade without a Definitive Sound/Style
- Thread starter GoldenGlove
- Start date
Uncle Kendrick
I'm just bout that action
I listen to Wale music and he already addressed you clowns on what he's doing. Nobody see you when you being humble - Folarin
Yeah I agree with OP; Wale hasnt found his sound and I think that comes from a weird sense of entitlement because he has good work ethic. His peers all have some sort of lane and I think he could had fit in one of those.
I thought he did well with ambition and the mmg collabo because it was a nice contrast. He was spitting within his lane which was clearly different from ross n meeks. He had his own 'persona' and interests. Bunch of years later, his lack of personality or not establishing a gimmick, hurts him at this point because he been too busy looking at what the next guy is doing and he in the worst spot cuz everybody knows Wale but aint nobody really know Wale.

thats cus some DMV people are super particular about being from inside DC borders
shyt corny to get that petty
itd make sense if wale was from like the eastern shore, or bmore, or winchester or culpepper talkin about DMV, but brehs hate wale cuz he 's from moco? moco is right next to dc
The Gifted is the Wale I fukked with heavy
That video is better than probably any video Cole has done.
No Idea, Wale is easily more popular or influential than G eazy to anyone who's opinion I care about, so the G-eazy thing seems more like Wale doing him a favor IMO.
Sure G-easy is more popular among teenage white girls, but I don't know if that's a wave that goes anywhere other than maybe booking a couple more shows at white colleges.
Wale is super nice, has had a few radio hits, he's respected by his peers. Looking for another crossover hit isn't the worst sin in the world. G-easy is at least raping rapping.
NAS, 50, and Jay etc are all guilty of it too.
TWENTY88 is dope because it presents both sides of a relationship from a woman's and a man's perspective.
No weak song on that EP, can't wait for part 2
I have to go back and look... but I can't recall Nas, 50 or Jay featuring a lesser act/rapper on one of their lead singles going into an album release.
His peers don't even do that at this point... Imagine Kendrick Lamar putting out a song preluding to his album release with G-Eazy on it...
The shyt is just so warped that I can't even take Wale and his claims to be mentioned among his peers seriously when he does shyt like that.
And I can all but guarantee you he's going to catch feelings when Logic's album is being discussed and praised more by the same places that don't fukk with him than his album... going to be even worse when that cornball outsells him in the first week

I'm a big Wale fan, but we're far removed from the days of when he first signed to MMG and was going off on every track.
This is the Wale I want to hear more often

Dude has been kinda wack since he stopped making songs for gogo fans and sneaker collectors 
I'm a former hipster wale fan because I remember when he was putting songs on MySpace and working at downtown locker room. I actually helped book the guy a few outta town shows, not that he got paid that well but I dunno if he had played outside of Maryland before then, shyt I dunno if he had even played shows at all. This is before UCB was even fukking with him and giving that D.C. streets cosign
That's about 12 years ago too, I'm happy he's been this successful but his music is largely corny aside from the pro black shyt. Hate is the New Love days, maybe I was blinded by him rapping about shyt that I was living daily, and he was using local slang and we had some mutual friends, but I coulda swore he was gonna be the next Kanye
Either way, like I said, I'm happy when I see his name come up. Good dude as far as industry guys go, and getting money the right way

IT AIN'T $HIT!!!!
Exactly... so again, why the fukk at this point in Wale's career is he doing this Fashion Week song?
What's the play here?
What the hell is the difference between fashion week & no hands, work or clappers besides the white guy being featured
Your peanut head ass can even give a reason to why g eazy is a guy real rap rappers cant do songs with
GoldenGlove you cool but of all the terrible rappers out there, Wale is one of really good ones.
His projects have ranged from solid to great. He doesn't have a whack project. Mixtape about nothing, more about nothing(amazing), ambition, the gifted, album about nothing, etc...
His style is versatile. He can do brag records, conscious ones, ladies anthems, story telling, etc. He's been doing all those for years. You not being able to pigeonhole him into one category doesn't equate to a flaw or "aimless career".
I agree that doing singles with lames like g-eazy is corny, but I'm not gonna let a song or two i disagree make me write off a really good career so far. That'd be a big reach.
His style has always been a guy unafraid to talk about his flaws and be relatable to the everyday black man. He got a little more materialistic when he first signed to MMG but that phase was pretty short.
Easily a better rapper than Drake breh.
