Wale leaves Roc Nation

[jwinfield]

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.

That sounds like unrealistic expectations from the label though.

How many plat rap artists are there?

Jay
Drake
Wayne
Em
Kendrick

Ye's last album didn't even go plat.

And Wale is way above YG

 

[SubLyminalz]

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

true but I believe he made that move since rhianna and j cole are the main artist over there, maybe he wanted to go to a management team where most of the focus will be on him.

he was always going to get put on the backburner on roc nation.

 

[SixxiS]

One of the worst rappers out

fixed

 

[Da King]

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.

Interscope wishes they had more artists doing wale numbers. Yeah his first album flopped, but he's been a hit since

 

[Animal House]

I never understood the Wale hate.
Prolly the same nikkas that bump Thugger

Sorry not everybody likes Wale. Its funny his fans get salty because others dont like his music.

 

[beenz]

It's a bandwagon. Don't understand it at all. Most people couldn't even give you valid reasons for why they don't consider him good.

I can tell u. he's a generic "gangsta" rapper who's tough guy delivery really seems forced as hell.

 

[jwinfield]

Interscope wishes they had more artists doing wale numbers. Yeah his first album flopped, but he's been a hit since

Only two rappers doing more on Interscope right now are Em and Kendrick.

I can tell u. he's a generic "gangsta" rapper who's tough guy delivery really seems forced as hell.

Wale raps about shoes, women, Seinfeld

 

[ADK]

Sorry not everybody likes Wale. Its funny his fans get salty because others dont like his music.

I don't even bump Wale, I just never understood how people gang up on ol dude and have trending hashtags dissing him like he's awful.

 

[Flay Mayweather]

I don't even bump Wale, I just never understood how people gang up on ol dude and have trending hashtags dissing him like he's awful.

Would you listen to a Nikka rapping hakku poems all day?

I know that Nikka breath smell like turtle hiccups and milk

fukk wale Aka Edgar Allen Hoe

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

He doesn't make poppy enough music really.

I always felt like with him that he isn't just happy kind of being a guy who puts out good music but doesn't get any attention.

Maybe it was but they didn't re-work his lead single with Lady Gaga for nothing.

And just to put it out there, Wale's people have been hoes to me directly because I leaked his lead single (understandable but lol) and Wale himself has been a hoe to people in the industry that I know. So in case anyone is wondering why it seems like I am bias, I am

Wale is above YG as an MC. As far as being a popular rapper, nah. YG is way above him. People are not jumping over each other to hear Wale when they are partying.

Interscope wishes they had more artists doing wale numbers. Yeah his first album flopped, but he's been a hit since

A hit? Ehhh. I mean Lotus Flowerbomb was certainly a hit but what else?

He is however, as much as I don't care for him, a talented MC.

"Gangsta" rapper? Far from it.

 

[Teko]

hov never did a song with him did he?

Lol. He was being managed by Roc Nation, he wasn't their recording artist.

 

[Teko]

true but I believe he made that move since rhianna and j cole are the main artist over there, maybe he wanted to go to a management team where most of the focus will be on him.

Cole and Riri are still hot and someone like Wale could at least get some deals or bookings that they otherwise wouldnt get because they are in the same management label. Anyway, Its his career.

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

tell us a young mainstream rapper that isn't just "alright" these days, its the norm....

nikkas be shyttin on Wale because he purposely does him and purposely doesn't try fitting in...

Kendrick Lamar is young, mainstream and isnt just allright, he is a great rapper
