These two tracks do nothing but cement the current public perception of Wale

Other than a sassy twitter rant, this kind of wordy and indirect yet direct response is the EXACT kind of response everyone expected

He needs to learn to accept his current standing in rap and move on

The sooner he gets on with it the better

He has given us some dope music over the years

I'm surprised Cole said he is always stressing about the way he is viewed, but then again when you see him Retweeting every compliment he gets and arguing with every account that criticises him, I shouldn't have been surprised at all

Folarin:lawd::blessed:

He was in his bag on this joint. Dope response and I'm Cole fan too.
Wale heavily slept on..
This sparing lowkey has to potential to produce lyrical fireworks on a level we haven't seen in years.:wow:

fukk that shyt. Look at drake personality he corny af.. that aint stopping ppl from listening .. I listen to music not they personality

Honestly Drake makes really good music and he scales back the media he does so you can't really get to know him


I will say his heel turn "light skin beard tough guy" since 2015 has been hilarious

Its not a beef

Nah but when you respond to a subliminal directly and you say


Your success >> is only mine because of Jay Z and not your talent or skill

Or

Your success > is only mine because at the beginning of my career I signed a bad deal at interscope

You just took two jabs

Two direct jabs

Its a pretty solid response, I'm glad he didn't just post a rant on Instagram to do


Or posted a video


There's a bunch of little jabs at jcole sprinkled throughout

Thank you bro

They kept it on wax so we as fans can be entertained


Thank you....

I don't think drake has made "really good music" since like 2014.. and it seems like since then we've seen more of his personality.. he been on some fake boss/shot caller shyt

But anyways I just don't get why ppl can accept that personality but not wale's, at least he show he care bout the craft smh. I guess they'd like him more he pushed the I'm not a rapper I just do it to get paid shyt :snoop:

Fam....

I'm not the biggest Drake fan in the world so objectively speaking

His music cross over well

Woman and men (of all races) love it

And since 2008 he's created and been featured on a lot of hit records

He makes hit records


And his second album will help define a generation

It's unfortunately this will be labeled a "diss" just like Cole's comments were labeled a "diss." In reality this is another reminder that while I'm not a fan of Wale, I respect the shyt out of him and sympathize with him. This is real talk. He's admitting that Cole's words hurt, he feels bad about where he is vs where Cole (and other peers) are, admits he can be difficult to deal with, admits again that he's dealing with depression and anxiety, etc.

I heard Wale last year say he's been trying to work with Kendrick but it hasn't happened. He didn't outright say it but you know the reason is because Wale has largely been blacklisted by Interscope due to his fukkery. It sucks. Like I said I'm not a fan of his music outside of a few tracks but I kinda wish I could bump into him on the street just to give him dap and say keep your head up breh, I appreciate you. A lot of people out here dealing with anxiety too.
