Yea Clappers is def a club banger/radio song. I just felt that it didn't flow with everything else besides Bad. But still I'm impressed with this album.

:whew::blessed::obama:

I love that shyt too. Of course, I'm a DC nikka that loves Go Go, so it's right up my alley (nh).

Bad and Clappers are going to appeal to the more hype crowd.

Songs like Heavens Afternoon, 88, Simple Man, Bricks, Vanity is gonna be loved by Hip Hop heads

Wale has a winner here guys :win:

This album is literally complete with everything :win:

Kendrick Lamar got these other nikkas on the tilt. Scared to drop anything but pure heat.

Born Sinner was very good but this project right here is damn near perfect. So proud of Wale. Damn. This is his best project yet on first listen.

The features didn't even bother me like I thought. Everybody brought it. shytttttt.

Hip Hop is eating so good right now. All organic.

:salute: to my nikka Wale. Kendrick, Wale, Big KRIT. It's like a dark skin nikka Tri Fecta of hip hop greatness. Then Drake and J.Cole with the light skin nikka duet.

All around black excellence in hip hop right now no matter the shade.

Does Rick Ross sit down & listen to his nikkas album before they drop ? The beat to clappers is terrible & its just so out of place on this album that i couldn't imagine him allowing it to be on here. Other then that song the album is just about a modern day classic to me.

I disagree 130% on both of those points. Damn near tempted to say you are straight up bugging about it not being better than Ambition.

Ambition was a solid ass album but come on breh. This album Wale went from Alakazam to Mewtwo on these nikkas. His flows are more compelx now, the subject material more in depth, the production is stronger, the hooks are just as good.


Sometimes nikkas ears got me wondering. Love Ambition, but :what:

Y'all got me confused in here. Ambition had so many skip panel songs and if this ain't better than that, then it's not worth a listen. Then y'all turn around and say its his best...I gotta go back and find this DL link

That song is a tribute to "go go music" which is a style of music extremely popular in DC - where Wale is from.

I actually think that beat bangs and that song is going to be immensely huge in the club. I even liked Nicki's verse. You have no idea how much I can't stand that woman.

:upsetfavre: na bra the top song on here dont touch the ones on ambition, dc or nothin, legendary, focused(he tired to make a focused 2 wit cudi wit rotations), ambition

but after relooking at the ambition i will say this is a better album, but none of the songs are better than the one i mentioned tho
