Poke it Out is awful but his projects usually deliver so I'm optimistic

They all sound like typical Wale songs

He usually leads with a relationship type track. He also fell victim to the “woe is me, I need therapy” fad. He seems to be owning the work he’s put in this go around. Looking forward to this project.

That Down South verse

What's the sense of it all?
Pimpin' powder, and p*ssy tryna make pennies
See nikkas lie on the stand, guess hell ain't harder than prison, who knows
In the 90's a traffic stop get you tickets, a joke
Now they find you a traffic stop get you riddled with holes
We be livin' too fast, we be sippin' it slow
One of my nikkas was sellin' work, now he sellin' out shows
I mean face it that's growth, pay attention take notes
You over forty and movin' work better be by the boat
Better be by the dock, better not be by your home
If nikkas really wan' hurt you, they gonna leave you alone
'Cause them peoples is comin', where your loyalty youngin'?
When a rapper say, "Free my nikka", his lawyers get hungry
And everybody wanna be a trap nikka
'cause them rap trap nikkas get paid
And don't nobody wan' be a trap trap nikka
When them badge nikkas got you on tape, yeah
Art imitatin' life, now y'all just sayin' lies
Got these suburbanites, thinkin' y'all ain't afraid to fight
Right in the mirror cryin' a little, you shakin', right?
Your soul is in prison and there is no visitation rights
Down south slangin' music with these hustlers
Keep it true to self and never sell out with these busters (no)
I ain't finna tap dance, I don't give a fukk though
Keep it true to self and keep it cool, my nikkas cutthroat
Run it

Wale makes some of the best road trip rap ever.


Up there with Lupe and Big Krit.



You can listen to their discography's driving for days on end... no problem. Say it cuz i've done it.



Everytime i leave the country for weeks/months on end... make sure the ipod has their content, chalk filled.
