MIXTAPE MONDAY
WALE - MORE ABOUT NOTHING
wowzers. three mixtapes in a row.. ! but i had to. i have this sort of love/hate relationship with wale. i really liked what he's put forth in the past, but seeing him live was another story. seeing him live made him come off as a prick.. and i done hailed it as "the money's got to wale". which could be completely true, or it could've just been a bad night.. but i find that when you're choosing to do music as your profession.. you have to realize that shows could be your only impression, so a shitty attitude could make you lose a lot of fans. you should ALWAYS put 100% into your shows, because it might be the 39746519024th time you've done that same performance, but it's somebody's FIRST time to see YOU.. not to say that his show was bad.. it was a really good show.. but wale himself didn't seem into it.. i gave it a 9/10 in review, which i don't regret.. but he still didn't seem into it. SO, after seeing this bad boy while cruising the net, i was a little skeptical.. BUT. i'm willing to give the tape and wale another shot.. here we go.. i'll start off with a tracklisting..

the intro accapella is beautiful. i like accapella speeches that come out so clean. he starts off by saying how he's making changes, how he's made mistakes, how people are saying he's under-rated, how he's under pressure, and how he just wants to work. if you're telling the truth wale, you may have just won me over.. again.
"i fear that my fans feel that i failed". okay wale. you said it first! hahaha.
i really like this mixtape. wale is a talented fucker, and bad attitude the night i saw him or not.. he is talented.. and this tape shows it.. each song is consistent with the next, and it showcases what wale can do very well.
"the breeze cool" is probably my third favorite song on the tape. his delivery is great, and he establishes that wale sound a little stronger than i personally have ever heard.. i like "sneaker game messy" haha. that was clever.. and it's nice that he's never willing to not scream out how much his love for shoes is.
"friends strangers" includes snippets from jerry seinfield which mesh in really well.. good job dj. holla dj. do your thing dj. this is the second song i've heard today about abortion, and sometimes you kind of forget how big of a deal that is.. and how often that shit happens. kinda makes you think. i like his story-telling rap a lot.. it's hard to find people that are new that can carry that story-telling torch, and it's nice to hear someone who can do it well.
"the number won" is another lyrical showcase! the tape is consistent i'm telling you. wale's flow just fits with everything. his flow over every beat is so crisp. when you want what you want and you say what you want and how bad you want it and ahhh. it's good shit.
that's as far as i'm going to go.. this is a good tape.. and every song is fucking great.. i'm kind of not ready for what people are going to say, cause i'm going to go ahead and give this shit a 4.5/5.
i did three mixtapes today, and i really thought wale was going to get the lowest rating out of all three.. but this shit is classic wale, he's improved drastically and he won me back. i think it's cleaner than j. coles, even though i think j cole is better than wale.. this tape is better. wale did it. it's close to a perfect mixtape man, it's fucking close.. and the fact that he dropped a mixtape instead of an album makes me applaud him even more.. he threw it down.. and he threw a large vocabulary in there to prove his intellect. fuckin' with politics and world issue references to get your learn on.. and he did it all whilst talking about nothing. the only thing that took away from it was that some instrumentals didn't cut it for me, but honestly.. everything he says is honest, and hip hop. so take a listen and grab it.. here: CLICK
i'm so fricken sick right now.. it's not even funny. i am coughin up shit you should only see in alien war movies. i'm gross and no matter how many times i shower or brush my teeth i still feel gross. i'm tryna over-dose on all medications to get my ass in gear for the clipse tonight so do me a favor and send ur good graces. my mom is dope enough to come over and cook for me and do my dishes cuz i can't bloody move. & my boyfriend has been grabbin my glasses of juice while i puke my guts out.. not to mention bowls of chicken soup to ease the soul. dope life.. minus the being sick.. it fucking blows.. i'm sittin here in my pajamas with a fever hot as a bitch, and i can't really talk, but typing's no issue, so let's get to a wale review please?some of these will be different sizes because some are mine, some are aggie's, and some silas'.. enjoy.
i know it's hard to see, but that's wale like half an hour before his show, on his laptop.. twitterin about how badly he wants to get with me..!
currently my favorite winnipeg dj.
hi lady:)
behind me
in front of me.. but what was on his feet?!
air max 95's....with a 360.
HEY WALE LOOK DOWN HERE!!
"BUHH." hahah.
i know we're all about the scarf.. i was too.
like fuck i need that scarf in my life!!
and the goodfoot fitted! goodfoot fitted too dope!
??????
i don't really care for the lebrons, but my boyfriend dug em.
the things i do to get these pics, you have no idea.
bianca so cute.
then he took off his jacket, and dear god. I WANT YOUR SWEATER.
my boyfriend shook his head at me when i took this pic, i shrugged innocently and said "what?"
and there you have it folks, the wale ensemble.
oh yah he performed good too.
WALE PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
this guy had to be arguably the worst hype man on the planet.
freddie should be hype man. he's ten times coolah.
this was my failed bum pic.
hype man's burberry boots.. don't do it for me.
goodnight wale;)
so he had like an hour long set. he opened up with "mama told me" which was proper.. he performed pretty much all of attention deficit.. but he didn't do much mixtape stuff.. he did nike boots which was cool.. but i was really hoping for more from back to the feature and paint a picture. his hype man in the burberry boots just danced on stage the whole time, but wale did his thing. he was energized from beginning to end.. although one thing that bothered me was what was with him onhis blackberry half the night?! literally during choruses, or breaks where he didn't have to rap, he was bbm'ing~!!! LIKE WALE! i know, im addicted to my berry too, but can you put your phone down just for the show?! it makes me as a fan feel less appreciated.
crowd was lamers. hoes were proper.. full on ugly broads decked out in their underwears. few too many hypebeasts who think they're the fucking shit.. little do they know botch can see them mouthing to songs wrong. if you don't know the words, just vibe, don't open your mouth to pretend fake the words, i can see you. you're embarrassing yourself. everyone was whylin to the lady gaga single. lame. lamest song ever.. but when he did 90210, i was in complete awe.
there was one point where he had a karaoke segment and he got the crowd to sing to house of pain's jump around, with king of leon's use somebody to follow.. which was pretty fun. wale did GREAT.. but only when he was performing. he gave 100% when he did.. but i've been to shows where the artist vibes with the crowd before shows instead of being on a laptop and on their berry. i'm not hating, i'm just saying that's valuable wale time we could've had but missed out on. no regrets, he did a really good show. 9/10
YES.
i just added a "tags" portion to my blog.. so now looking for what chu want should be a little easier. i will start to label my picture posts too, but that's not right now cause i'm lazy. that is all.
have a good thursday suckahs.
..and we got a shit load to handle.
