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

[Hiphoplives4eva]

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

you my african and all, but please clean the wax out of your ears and relisten to this masterpiece. This is quickly becoming my second favorite album released this year, with Tetuso and Youth still 1st.

 

[Diondon]

I like it, I don't know what all the Seinfeld shyt is about tho

 

[THE MACHINE]

Hate to be the bearer of.....bad news
But I, can't move with too many rap dudes
I got, much respect for my double M crew
But I'm just not that dude hangin out with who's who's and such

 

[CrimsonTider]

Yo, I been listening to this shyt nonstop.

It pure genius.

 

[Stone]

I think Wale is one of those dudes who is a great writer but not necessarily a rapper I want to listen to.

"The Pessimist" Creeped up to be my fav track. First listen i was pissed this nikka had the audactiy to pay J.Cole just for a damn hook.. But i never really gave the track a chance on its own merit.


JESUS wale was flowing.............. The whole first verse is a damn quotable

A nikka feelin' hopeless
Who am I to change perception?
If a nikka kill a nikka he's another statistic
If his skin's a little different they gon' say it was self defense
nikka feelin' hopeless
Starin' at the idiom box, riddle me this
If a killer was a nikka would nikkas still really care
Cause nikkas worser than Zimmerman livin' life everywhere
nikkas hopeless
Small nikkas with big tools
Couldn't get to Harvard, hard work, he hard whipped
Cause them hardy har's and hard nights
Are hard to live through
When you hopeless
What we gotta do to be winnin'?
Cause all the schools gettin' closed
Dribble a little, coach, shootin' at a foe
Cause they chargin' them to hoop at community center
My nikka, hopeless
25 bands, he was shootin' not a damn givin'
Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers
Throwin' back their fat ass, is my glasses confused?
We're the hopeless
America's dream and nightmare in the same being
Even when being polite here
nikkas try to bring me down, the life of a pioneer
Lightyears worth of hopeless
Celebrities celebratin' disgust me
The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on
Watchin' "Love and Hip Hop : Atlanta" as we speak
nikka we hopeless
Okay, the Steebie show is on
And so my broad rollin' weed now she's mad at me
Cause she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father
Said, "You nikkas all hopeless"

Spoiler

But yea after a full week of spinning this. This album as a full project is better then the gifted. Very little filler on this album. However the highlights on the gifted are better then the highlights are on here


Best tracks on the gifted
Love Hate Thing
88
Black Heroes
Vanity

Best tracks on album about nothing

White Shoes
Pessmissit
Girls On Drugs
One time in houston
Helium Baloon


Love Hate thing 88 and black heroes are better then anything on here. But You can't spin "the gifted" front to back. Cause u run into shyt like clappers sunshine gullible and simple man.

This album even the low key tracks are bangers. He has so many potential huge hits on this album it's crazy.

 

[JayGatsby]

white shoes is just the realest shyt for me

that feeling when you're wearing your fresh shoes for the first time,the only time I would actually look where I step

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Album has so many bangers!

One time in Houston
The middle finger
the girls on drugs
the god smile
the success
The Glass Egg
The Body
The Pessimist

Just a great album overall. I hope Drake is taking notes.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

"That White girl destroyed the Black neighborhoods,
so white boys can run the world!
The white cops is going to war,
I write thoughts and put them in songs,
There is a devil around the corner,
but its all good because there is a God that's living in you."
