Let's look at just some of the things Wale has/had going for him:

Kenny Burns backing him
Mark Ronson backing him
XXL Freshman
in house band for the VMAs
signed to Rick Ross and MMG
Gaining access to said "Rick Ross" type beats (600 Benz?)
singles with Lady Gaga, Gucci Mane, Miguel
Futura doing artwork for his mixtape, not even an album
Roc Nation management
JERRY SEINFELD on his album
multiple covers (URB, Complex, etc.)
sneaker collab with Villa/Asics

If Wale had all this going for him and still can't make it happen, I don't know what to tell you :francis: If people behind the scenes aren't getting a return on their investment you already know it's :camby: I enjoyed his very early go-go sounding stuff (Studio 43 days) but he kinda lost me after that, including that marketing team concocted Mixtape About Nothing. My problem with Wale is he never really had a lane to me :yeshrug: And all that Rafael De La Ghetto stuff he be spewing? :hhh:
