Why isn't Wale bigger/more popular than he is?

Wale's is an underachiever if anything.


As big as Wale's buzz was back in 2008, I would think someone was crazy if they assumed Meek Mill and J.Cole will have more successful careers down the line.

I don't know why either, Wale is a dope artist who makes decent to solid albums :manny: And is actually really talented.


Hmmmm... maybe is the darkskin thing? :patrice:

Wale had a a lot of hype and i was a big fan and idk what happened. His debut album was kind;ve a flop, he had Lady Gaga on a song too early.


Me personally i just lost interest once he got to MMG. And got into all these weak ass twitter beefs and shyt. Even he tried to act tough to some Wizards commentator......its all corny. Plus he can't make a great project unless its Seinfeld inspired which is weird.

Dude fumbled the ball even before MMG saved his career. That Attention Deficit album left people cold and that fanbase he garnered stopped checking for him.

I know I did :francis:

Yeah, people forget Wale's career was dead in the water before he hooked up with Ross.

He had a decent fan base from his mixtapes and features, but his debut album drove all those people away. It's honestly amazing that he's been able to get to where he is now based on how bad his debut was botched. I mean dude had Gaga on a track when she was at her peak, and the song did absolutely nothing.
