Albums Wale - SHINE (Discussion Thread)

[BO BARON]

Dude i haven't heard 1 song 1 verse or 1 word of logic in the clubs, streets, barbershops & radio stations

You'll putting to much weight into streams

Wale still get way more radio, club & whip play than logic will ever get & thats all that matters

And as disappointed as you may be with shine alot of the songs on it will get played alot & be loved & appreciated by women

I'm going off of the singles they put out...

Logic is the corniest rapper I've ever seen gain a fanbase, but the numbers on his latest video on Youtube compared to Wale's is a clear indication to me that more people (white/black doesn't matter) are checking for his shyt.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

This was the softest teletubies album I ver did hear

 

[Neuromancer]

I hope this is good. But from what I heard so far it won't be.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Goddamn.

I'm about 8 or 9 tracks in and it's been mainly Trash so far, fukk. I used to rock with Wale hard, may have to just go back to the old shyt. All these clean beats got him sounding

Fashion Week maybe but CC White had me like

 

[Alexander The Great]

look what the booty shots done to that
that bytch need her money back

Why is you nikkas in here acting like wale isnt 1 of the most cultural & versatile rappers of his era

Dude dwells into so many styles, genres & sounds be it of course go go, pop, r&b, trap, soul now Caribbean & spanish

To say he's chasing hit records is kinda stupid especially when he's always been a so called hit chaser & actually has recent hit records

We talking youtube views now bruh

Until i hear a logic song on the radio, club or in a car full of bad bytches im inclined to disagree

Logic doing his thing tho

Fine Girl is a dope track. This could have been the single instead of the G-Eazy song. Perfect for the Summer.

Just feels like there's no cohesion. I get what he's trying to do, but the execution isn't there. Going to have to run back the loose tracks he was dropping prior to the album to see what could have made it sound better.

Summer on Sunset >>>> Shine

 

[thaKEAF]

This is his weakest one since his debut.

Are you not understanding what I'm getting at? Do you think Wale's Shine is going to sell better than Logic's album? They were scheduled to drop on the same day, but Wale pushed his shyt up to today, and my guess would be he did that so he could secure the number 1 spot with this release because nobody else is dropping today.

Had he kept to the 5th release date, he surely would have lost out to Logic.

And don't get it twisted, I do not fukk with Logic. I'm just saying it's sad that Logic's music is translating further in hiphop. What Wale songs are being pumped on the radio? I don't hear them anyway, who listening to the radio like that in 2017?

Do you not understand that logic is a underground artist with a extremely loyal white cultural fanbase

Do you not understand wale's album may not sale more but individual songs will ganner more streams radio & club requests & spins than any song on logics album

Whatever reasons to move his album up is beyond me but why not???

His first week numbers wasn't gonna increase or decrease whether he didnt want to compete with logic or not & he'll most likely still sell less

Im not sure how highly anticipated logic's album is anyway so who knows what he'll actually sell

Wale album rollout & promotion was trash anyway so we should expect not so great numbers

They have 2 totally different audience's & perspectives

Wale's competing with his past success & the top guys in the game right not logic

My Love is AWFUL

My Love is AWFUL

I wouldn't say it's awful, but it's one of those songs that people will hear and say, "He's only making this kind of record because Drake did it"
