Not mad at you OP for the opinion because Wale dropped tons of dope shyt before MMG, but I still don't understand why people act like Wale hasn't been crushing shyt since signing with MMG. Real shyt, there might be less than four mainstream young artist that have delivered the type of quality music Wale's given us since he signed with Maybach. nikka immediately pissed on Self Made vol 1

Dope shyt abounds on that joint from him.
Then, he drops the 11/1/11 theory joint, one of the best mixtapes of that year.

Then the nikka drops the album, and most dudes on here seem to agree that it's one of the best albums from a young mainstream artist in the last few years.

shyt goes gold, has a Grammy nominated song and has dope shyt throughout.
Then the nig does work on the second compilation album including outshining one of the most talented nikkas doing it right now (KDot) on the best track on the record

nikkas don't want to hear it on here because he's not one of the sacred cows on this mothafucca, but that's a top 5 resume for a young rapper in the game, and that's just his MMG shyt. Like the OP said, he also had plenty of dope shyt before that. The nikkas ill man.
