Wale leaves Roc Nation

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Dude is one of the best hiphop artists in the game. The nikkas blindly hating are likley fakkits that wear tight jeans and pump thugger.

Does 77 North have any other notable music acts under their belt? Cause if they don't I don't see this as an upgrade or even lateral move for Wale.

only reason I see it as an upgrade is cause he goes from being one of many to being the guy management has to concentrate on....they gonna go all out to make it work to help get others there.....

 

[The God Poster]

First and foremost breh, if his career was all good he wouldn't have left his management company. Since no one really cares about him as an artist in the mainstream DJ Mustard is getting all the Roc Nation attention so he dipped.

Second, 99.99% of the business wasn't pushed like Interscope did for him, Iovine even called in a favor with Lady Gaga to get on a song with him during her impressive run. The single flopped. It was supposed to make him, it didn't.

Then he moves to be with a cooler imprint where he was going to be a gold+ guy in a platinum crew. Nothing happens.

It's not blind hate when I know he acts like a diva first hand.

Not a big wale fan but.....fam sell in the top half of rappers. Dude doing pretty good

never heard a single good verse from this clown, never.

Yeah, this is a lie.

 

[SubLyminalz]

Even riding that Lebron wave isn't going to get Wale anywhere.

He has a shytty attitude, he's a weirdo, and he acts like the quintessential recording artist diva. Before the guy even had his first single out he was too good for people. Not surprised his career keeps stalling out.

yet he still manages to outsell 99% of the music that has 20-30+ pages on here

Wale is nice......maybe he's not as good as he thinks he is, but I think he's talented than alot of rappers in the mainstream

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Not many artists right now whose music I enjoy more than Wale's. Might have the best wordplay in the game right now. And his sports references are 2nd to none.

 

[Steven_Realberg]

I hope he quits...


talentless rappers like Wale, 2cHAINZ, SouljaBoy or Future are ruining this genre.

How are you grouping Wale with those cats

Exactly, Zeerax trippin...

 

[FlyRy]

hov never did a song with him did he?

That's cool but Interscope wanted him to be a top level mainstream talent, that didn't happen. He's supposed to be a platinum artist but is more like a YG.

And clearly, hes not happy with his career or he wouldnt have left a management team that is pushing

I'm saying. 5 year relationship in the music industry? Not bad at all.

 

[Formerly known as...]

He was only managed by Roc Nation, that's separate from a record deal. Like Lebron plays for Cleveland but is managed by 77 North

The way you had to actually break that down made me And .
