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

[Pegasus Jackson]

hell nah. he was DEAD in the water before MMG. His debut flopped. This revisionist bullshyt is hilarious.

 

[Ohene]

. MMG was the best thing to happen to him.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

I don't even listen to Wale but he had a better career than 98% of rappers in any era

 

[L $ C]

Wale Career slowed because

1 he became to formulantic
2 too much became about his personality rather than the music. Ie The Game

 

[O.Red]

MMG saved that nikkas career

Nikkas mental gymnastics regarding Wale are always fascinating

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

Wale's career was dead mainstream wise after his first album.

He needed that MMG cosign and movement around him.

There might have been other labels he could have connected with but he was on the ropes and Ross saved him.

NO PORK ON THE FORK BUT THERES WHITE IN THE POT

 

[DapMeUp!]

Wale's career has went as good as it possibly could have.

He joined MMG at the height of Ross' popularity and that gave him a huge stimulus, he reached audiences that would have never fukked with him...me included if it wasn't for that.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

He would've had to take the Freddie Gibbs route and I'm not sure Wale has that in him...he's more emotional than Freddie is

 

[RennisDeynolds]

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

His career was DOA on interscope. MMG gave him a second life


I loved Attention Defecit but it was not reviewed well and it sold almost nothing

 

[RennisDeynolds]

I think its not a hard to believe conspiracy to say that RocNation fukked him over to promote Cole, and interscope fukked him over to promote Kendrick

 

[Big Boss]

he needed MMG

 

[bordeaux]

I dunno how you could say this if you were there. The first mmg compilation, ambition and more about nothing all won people over after his debut flopped

 

[Awesome Wells]

Meh.

Bro was signed to Mark Ronson years before signing with MMG. He had a bidding war going on and ran with Interscope. Came in on some crossover sh*t right out the gate with his first joint featuring Gaga. It was clear what kinda direction he was trying to go in.

The MMG move was a weird one, but I always thought it kept him alive. It was a poor fit, but he seemed like he was about to fade into blog-era oblivion before he inked with Ross. Thing is, he signed there and Meek was the one that the people actually cared about. So he got all the focus.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

absolutely false

now after he left MMG he should've went independent instead of still chasing mainstream success
