Listening to More about nothing and Mixtape about nothing, along with his earlier projects,dude has his own crew and was popular enough to be the head of some youngbuls and it was right there for the taking but his first major deal probably forced his hand.

He had to sign to MMG to recoup his losses with Interscope/Warner Bros, but his "brand" and cliche but his music has suffered from it. Sad to say but dude may have peaked in terms of artistry.

I'm still checking for dude cause hes one of the best lyricists in the game but Folarin is a prime example who should have went on his Indy shyt on some Dom, Nipsey type shyt.

he wouldn't be anywhere different, just more underground

Mmg not forcing anything on him son, at best they probably ask for a verse on the mmg album, or some shyt. but he picking his own beats amd doing him son

If not for MMG, he would get 10x the amount of unnecessary shots thrown at him for being "different". You must have forgotten how much hate Wale used to get before linking up with MMG.

Where my DC/DMV nikkas?


Shy next... But even his lil movement feels like its loosing steam. No momemnteum or buzz for this Wale album that drops next month but dude has a loyal following.

It sucks that Cole, Drake, and Big Sean have already dropped their projects because he's going to be unfairly compared to them and for whatever reason it feels like those 3 are all a little hotter than he is rigt now.

Wale has always made solid music that has been all over the place aesthetically. And he still is. He is was trashed when he first signed and called a sellout with that Gucci Mane feature on his first album. He got the same :wtb: when he made No Hands with Waka but it was undeniably dope. And then when he "switched" up and signed to MMG he still got hate. No matter what he does he will still be hated on. I think he is definitely more visible than he would be if he hadn't signed to MMG. But still the same quality of music if not better at times. The Gifted was highly slept on.

thats the problem

Why were dudes hating Wale when he was one of the best up and coming guys along with Charles Hamilton, J Cole, Blu etc?

Now hes "certified" with his maybachs and leather jackets:francis:

People tune out an artists music if their antics piss them off. A lot of haters don't like dude so they'll trash his music without even listening to it. Kind of like how on here people 1 star threads on sight when they see his name in the thread title
