My wife told me that the Deluxe version of the joint was sold out at the Target in Uptown DC. shyt was sold out at like 10:30 am the dude there told her. She just copped the regular joint for me, so I won't be able to give y'all the verdict on the deluxe version later today.

Even still, copped it to support the homie and quality music in general.

allmusic gave it 4 stars...which they also gave to ambition and attention deficit :manny:

AD i can't remember anything except beautiful bliss(love that song)

this is smooth, but i'd say ambition overall more memorable. the gifted isnt as good on subsequent listens as it is on that first listen.

Joint's been getting extremely positive reviews, and deservedly so.

XXL Mobile - Reviews - Wale - 'The Gifted' Album Review

Matching his lyrical abilities with polished production and radio-ready hooks, The Gifted sees Wale inching towards hip-hop's upper echelon, while still exhibiting the hunger of a young MC on the rise. "Born to lose, built to win," he claims on "Heaven's Afternoon." Started from that bottom, but now he's got it.

:salute:

Does anybody have the deluxe version with the 4 bonus tracks from Target that has "Back 2 Ballin", "MFS", "Hella" & "One Eyed Kitten Remix"

The deluxe joint was sold out around my area early as shyt yesterday. I heard the bonus records though.

From a lyrical standpoint. "Golden Salvation" is easily the best song on this album. So many gems in that song.

i didn't have high expectations for this, since i didn't really like ambition that much. and haven't really been feeling wale since he joined mmg. but this album is so good.

first 7 tracks are incredible. :blessed::mindblown::lawd::whew:
