Wale is too good of a lyricist to not work on his delivery .

The way he speaks always gonna have people thinking other artist got him on a track .

That DMV slur gotta go he gotta do better .

He needs to rap way more clear and concise.
It really is unbelievable that that's the thing holding him back :snoop:

He has every part of rapping mastered but the most basic aspect. Great flow, great wordplay, sticks to a topic for the entire verse/track, witty lines, sports metaphors are on point, knows about fashion, in tune with pop culture, reps black excellence, great at relationship tracks, no coke raps or manufactured tales from gangsterland, great at beat selection.

BUT PEOPLE CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING :mindblown:

Funny thing is that it was never THAT bad in the beginning. Somewhere after the Folarin tape is when I started noticing it more. Probably whatever drugs he dabbled with contributed to it as well

Which is crazy since Shy Glizzy got that strong DMV slur too with his Soufeast ass and yet he’s able to hold his own. Could prolly because he kinda “shouts” on record when he raps like Meek. I could be wrong tho.

Sparking blunts in the shade.
I think his accent adds character to his work, but I get why a lot find it annoying. Same with Gibbs and how loud he is with his breath.

"DMV slur" ain't got shyt to do with it. Look at Oddisee. That nikka accent is thick but you can hear every line. Wale is trying too hard to sound a certain way and it comes across forced a lot of times. Like how can you not stay on beat...that shyt is frustrating. He needs a real producer around him and not just beatmakers.

I respect that.

Wale might be putting extra sauce on the delivery to try and hide the fact that he's been inspired a lot by Oddisee's flow.
