He had a bigger machine then everyone but drake to start his career. He had the whole inter scope building behind him and flopped heavy.
this is corny of him and he really is envious of them
Man, if we're being real, Wale's buzz was bigger than ALL of them nikkas to start with. He led that hypebeast rapper wave that was starting to pop, and had Nike Boots blowing up. I specifically remember him having a couple mixtapes that were super popular back in like 07-08. Wale was really that dude then. Drake became who is he now shortly after that, then Cole and Kendrick made huge leaps in their careers, while guys like Cudi, Meek, Sean, ect all lapped him. All of those guys that I mentioned have all had individual moments in Hip Hop that were bigger than Wale's. So the bitterness is understandable, I guess, but what kills me is that he acts like he hasn't been successful at all. There were times where his music was stale but it was never garbage, and he can still drop hits here and there because black women love his music.
He refuses to accept that his twitter finger days played a huge part into why people don't fukk with him and see him as an unlikeable person. He just came off as a weird ass little brat at times, whining about every fukking thing. Here we are 10 years later, we ain't forget.
