Wale speaks the Truth at the Breakfast Club
I like how you put thisStarted from the Bottom, Swimming Pools, Power Trip, etc. Those are all hits. But so is My ***** from YG, and the other stuff that's on the radio right now. They are both hits. But they are on two totally different ends of the spectrum.
Wale isn't on either side. He isn't as bad as a YG when it comes to rapping, and he isn't as good of a hitmaker as Cole, Drake, and K Dot. It's all about Hits, and to a lesser extent, "content driven hits." Wale is in the middle. He's a really good rapper, but he doesn't make sonically hit records. I say sonically because to me, Hits aren't necessarily crowned by how great they chart. You can have a hit record sonically without it charting all that well. Wale will never get the respect that he thinks he deserves until he can find away to consistently put out hits. We know Wale can Rap, in a technical sense he raps toooo well to a degree. Hits, hits, hits.
Alright, now back to the BC interviews
Just my opinion, and I always like Wale interviews with BC because he gives good ones and whether I agree with him or not, it's dope to hear considering that that's the business that I want to get into.Wale speaks the Truth at the Breakfast Club
However, Wale is overrating his music and musicality a bit in this interview. He in essence said that he makes records as good as Kendrick's, Drake's, and Cole's, etc. and that he doesn't get his just due and he doesn't know why. The issue I have with that is that he flat out doesn't. You want to know why those guys get critical acclaim and Wale doesn't? It's simple, it all boils down to hits. Kendrick and Cole and to a lesser extent drake do a fantastic job of making hit records, (that is, songs that are catchy, melodic, but have substance) without sacrificing the musicality of the music. That right there is an extreme talent, and most don't have that. Wale needs more flower bomb type records. I guarantee you if he had more of those he would be revered for his rapping ability, heavily. It's all about hits. What rappers don't understand is that no one really cares about your raps until you've drawn them in with your hit records.

Alright, now back to the BC interviews
Wale is someone I probably would have enjoyed listening to before the social media/YouTube era and there was less transparency with artists.
His constant *****ing makes it really hard for me to enjoy the music. A lot like how Joe Budden lamed himself out with social media and reality TV.
I hate Tracy Ellis Ross and her humongous eyes
Just watched the tracee Ellis Ross video they posted today
Man her eyes always but me out cause of how big they are
But she has ALWAYS been sexy to me
I can't explain it
Some women just ooze sexy out their pores
They should have have her more time
She had good conversation
And turned everything bad and silly into a thoughtful conversation
Man I want to hit it from the back while pulling on her hair so bad
You shut up
Hot/Hit songs with an underlying message has never been Wale's problem lol (Even though the last one wasn't a hit at all, wish he put it on an official album and pushed it harder and I think it woulda did well).
