“Wale’s music career would’ve been better had he not signed to MMG” who agrees with this situation? 🧐

[ajnapoleon]

I do not agree he made his best music around this time and he had range


He could on trap
Soul
Boom bap
Abstract


I think it’s because he doubted himself and was in a whoa is me feelings


























Coli input?


Perfect producer for wale is










Both are super nerds they can make it work

I actually bought his debut on Interscope. It went triple aluminum. MMG was the best thing to happen to him.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Ummm… didn’t MMG kinda help him more than it hurt? Ambition was one of if not his best project and that was on MMG

 

[Cᵣₐₛₕ&ₜₕₑCₒᵤₚ]

He was fully dependent on the image MMG gave him as Ross hit his prime. Wale was still doing his HBCU steeze and female pandering beforehand, only difference now is he was doing tracks like 600 benz. Dude use to call himself a backpacker. The reality is Wale never challenged himself to make a hit or poppin song without a R&B attachment at his peak buzz and tokenized his music to the general hip-hop audience . I don't really think he has a demand compared to other artists in his generation.​

Who's Wale?

But in all seriousness I haven't checked that nikkas music in years

 

[DAT NICCA KELSO]

But Wale is having the greatest year a rapper has ever had since leaving MMG. And his biggest supporter on here @☑︎#VoteDemocrat is bushed

 

[UpThruDere]

He only overachieved because of them, he wasn’t that good to begin with

 

[LOOPY]

*Ross saved them boys lives (Meek,Wale)


*All them nikkas shoulda just stayed on double M.


*Them nikkas have done absolutely nothing since leaving him

I like Wale, so I'm not gonna hate on him too bad.

But my opinion on him is "He's a Man Without a Country" like Avon said to Stringer. He doesn't have Kendrick's or J Cole's ability to make an amazing album from front to back. He could never make AGKMC, a DAMN, or a 2014 Forest Hills Drive. He's not good enough to hang with them as rappers. Like, has anyone ever quoted a Wale verse before And he doesn't have Drake's ability to go fully mainstream and just crank out hit after hit after hit. Drake fed the streets from 2009 to 2017, with countless solo hits, countless features, and countless songs he wrote for other people. Wale could never do that. So he achieved as much as his talent allowed. He was good for dropping R&B-infused songs that I do listen to, but that's why he never kept up with the other rappers from his generation.

Mad, but apart from a Stephen Marley song, I’ve never listened to him.

His evolution as an artist made it obvious that he was going to stay making music for black people. And I'm not saying that in a smart way. I just think appealing to other groups wasnt going to happen because after he signed to MMG he didn't seem interested in that. I've always loved that his music was targeted towards black folks and he wasn't pandering either.

Wale's problem then was always his attitude and online antics. He just doesn't come off as a likeable dude outside of the booth.
