Fell off

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

And I ain't even get through the whole thing yet. Why is fish and grits on here song is old

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Running Back the best song on here.

I can't fukk with this faux singing shyt on the intro and scarface rozay

 

[THE MACHINE]

Surprisingly, Im fukking with this heavy

Take away the pop/love songs with features, and you're golden

That's like........most of the album

 

[Ribbs]

There's some barefoot records on here (word to Budden and Rory) that I'd listen to make the time pass...

But this ain't it. He's not a great singer, metaphors are still on point, spoken word bullshyt is still there and I haven't liked this flow in some time. I'll give it a week listen but I doubt I'll be listening to it much. :chrissy:

 

[BO BARON]

The more i listen to this shyt the more & more i like it

The international vibe, singing & pop songs is something you would expect from wale not sure what the problem is with those songs

Everybody on their concept album, pro black or inspirational vibe nowadays

Wale seems like he just wanted to make fun global records i aint mad

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

this is ok

 

[momma]

[FappleMeOff]

That's like........most of the album

Only like 6 tracks

 

[CrimsonTider]

I wonder what made him release the entire album on Youtube...

Streams

 

[Ronnie Lott]

This shyt was trash

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

hes never gonna blow up like he wants...so he should just stick to making albums like "album about nothing"...shyt was fire, and definitely his lane

 

[GoldenGlove]

This such a typical Wale album - some dope cuts, dope intro as always, some cool/interesting vibes, but with a bundle of garbage and overly pop shyt that make no sense and fukk everything up. Album About Nothing the only project of his I feel that's consistently solid throughout and where he kept the commercial stuff to a minimum. I wish he would just do an album of hip-hop tunes with real stories and more introspection. That Groundhog Day song he dropped after the Cole thing was amazing, why can't he just play up to his strengths? Is it the label?

He consistently said that this album is strictly for his fans during his interview runs.

If he truly believes that this is what his fans rock with him for then he really doesn't even understand his own fanbase

Folarin and The Album About Nothing are damn near flawless and his best works, everything else in his catalog is a notch below.
