Wale - "WOW, That's Crazy" (Discussion Thread)

[Rell Lauren]

You're telling me "3 Days, 3 Hours" wouldn't have fit on this album? Especially if he was trying to appeal to women? SMH.

 

[CrimsonTider]

A lot of the rnb/hip hop joints are som3 of the best in his discography.

Black Bonnie
Cliche
Expectations
Love...(Her Fault)
On chill

Digging this the more I play. The Meg joint is a banger.

Song with Meg is over a year old

 

[Neuromancer]

TAAN is a five mic album.

 

[TheLostOnes]

Went through the 2nd Playthrough...

Sue Me
Cliche
Expectations
Love...(Her Fault)
On Chill
Love Me Nina / Semiautomatic
Break My Heart (My Fault)
50 In Da Safe
Set You Free

Good to Great records IMO

The main thing that throws this album off in general is the sequencing in general. And some songs just feel like filler and just forced

Love & Loyalty is a good song, but coming after Sue Me, it's like what's going on here? It's a lil jarring sonically, and I feel like Wale lessens the impact of his projects when they have random arrangements

BGM
Routine
Debbie
Black Bonnie
Poledancer

Mediocre or just out of place... or just old songs we've heard months ago

Solid overall release, but with some tweaks it could have been great. But is that surprising coming from Wale? He kinda always teases greatness and then throws listeners a curveball that just misses with most. It is what it is

Sue Me is one of my fav records of his in a while tho, so dope

shyt definitely throws you off. After I heard Sue Me I'm sitting there feeling hype and ready thinking you gonna get something like that for the follow up song but you don't and it leaves you sort of confused. Anyway though, this jawn is a solid release overall.
Also off topic but Wale lowkey knows how to open a album he knows how to pull yo on that intro song.

This album sucks. WTF happened to him

 

[dom_p08]

Pretty good album lyrically & sonically imo off a few spins, but Wale gotta chill w/ the singing he's a good enough mc to just do that, Wale need to leave the neo-r&b to Drake, he's the goat of that genre, too many tracks for the broads also imo, but overall a solid effort.

Yea he fell off tho.

IDK is the DMV best rapper now

 

[Sad Bunny]

A few good songs.

But I understand why this flopped.

 

[Izanami]

Put this as my closer on my version

 

[BXKingPin82]

shyts aight.

That Lil Kim joint tho...

 

[Xtraz2]

This is horrible aside from the Jeremih single...damn

 

[DapMeUp!]

Nearly made it through the album and nothing has top Sue Me yet.

Very ponderous and one tempo throughout most of it.
Wouldn't call it trash but definitely not his best effort. It's a decent listen without ever really grabbing you at any point
I like it more than shine but that's not saying much.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Sue Me and Love Me Nina are top 10 Wale Tracks, but this album proved all the haters who call him point

This is my biggest gripe. With his rapping skills, he seems to shy away from really showcasing them on his albums now. Its the strangest thing that he's so stuck on that slow tempo stuff. Theres only so much you can do on those tracks and he's worn that lane out.
