Wale - The Album About Nothing (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Half way into the album.... I'm definitely digging the album so far. Great to see artists get better and more mature with their content and versatility.

He has like three or four hits within the first 7 tracks or so.

Very enjoyable listen. He's more lyrical than Drake and has better content. Makes better tracks than Kendrick.

Wale is like a superior version of Drake. Better rapper and can harmonize decently. Better song maker.

He definitely should be getting more shine than Drake honestly.

The Gifted is definitely better, but this is fukking great also!

I think project for project this is better then the gifted. But the highlights on the gifted are better then the highlights on here.

Love Hate Thing/88 and Black Heroes are better then anything on here and of course Bad>Body

But this album has alot less filler then the gifted had. I can litteral play "Album about nothing" all the way through. Girls on Drugs>Bad.(Why this wasn't his first single i have no idea. shyt is fukking crazy)

This is the Gifted part 2. The gifted is much better though.

Not a bad album its just nothing remarkable.

This better than the JCole though. Sorry.

The Gifted is better than both. I was seriously listening to the Gifted last week. That album actually sounds better now than it did when it first came out. excellent production on that disc!

This sounds like nonsense.

it's my opinion nikka.

That Cole didn't have any legs to me. I wonder if people are still listening to it.

No role models is why is revisit it

I like the Gifted better than all 3 too

Wale is the best and most genuine artist on MMG imo. (Stalley too, he just doesn't have that 'it' factor) so when it all falls down around him, and all the frauds get exposed, he will be the last man standing and in the best position to move on and continue his career.

 

[Canada Goose]

Listening to this now, White Shoes is

 

[Canada Goose]

Just finished listening, great album.

White Shoes
The Pessimist
Girls on Drugs
God Smile
The Bloom
The Matrimony

Are the best songs, I'm probably forgetting some songs too, IMO rap album in quite some time

 

[Phillyrider807]

Ambition Girl 3(The Bloom) is really growing on me.

My black mind, dream big and follow through even bigger
15 years of slavery for you lady
I put in work to be your nikka
May the sun kiss you, unconditional
I pray each and every lyric get to you
On this third rendition
For you and your ambition both, bloom

Young Poet on the beat!!

Girls on drugs stay on repeat. I bought the digital copy already, but I may go back,and pick up the physical too.

 

[ThiefyPoo]

Album is real strong. I stand by its flaws I said it has but I still think it's gem. Was too hard on it before

How you feeling @ThiefyPoo ?

Son i haven't been ignoring you i still don't know breh .

im gonna have to get back to it i just don't know .

 

[Dak Pickscott]

Just now getting around to hearing this in full......Damn this shyt is nice as fukk. Wale finally delivered a great album. Its a shame that it won't get as much acclaim as TPAB and T&Y, but I'm cool with that. Only songs I wasn't outright feelin were Summer League and The One Time In Houston. This is closer to Attention Deficit/More About Nothing which made become a fan.

There's so many potential hits on this thing....He could very well go gold again but this deserves a platinum plaque....



Girls On Drugs is the one though. The Need to Know has potential too and I didn't think SZA had that in her. She actually killed it...Her singing was on point

 

[MeachTheMonster]

This shyt is trash. I gave it a serious chance too.

Headphones, no distractions, listened all the way through. Have no desire to listen to it ever again, not even one track

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

The God Smile is an amazing song. Great lyrics, awesome production, great message.

to the GOD WALE!
