He had the herbal tea crowd in his back pocket for a while but the BS turned people off. You have to have great projects if your gonna play the arrogant "I better than them" role.Man Wale is his own biggest obstacle. I rock with son’s music heavy, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, his antics over the years make him look funny in the light. He’s not satisfied with the amount of success he’s garnered for himself and goes full emo as a result. In the long runs, his fans feel like they’re being s***ted on, and people who aren’t hip to him or his rapping capabilities steer clear.
All dude has to do is rap and let the chips fall where they may.

How is it not debatable. Everybody ain't prying into the personal lives of these artists and know every detail about em. There was one dude in here who didnt even know he was Nigerian
Point is he was once in the class with Kendrick and Cole and he removed himself from it
Yeah Album About Nothing got some good reviews and I think it went gold but he acts like he dropping classic after classic and people ain't recognizing.Imo, he’s got a great body of work with The Album About Nothing. That was my favorite album of 2015. From what I recall, that was a #1 album when it dropped. And the rest of his albums have gotten good reception save for SHiNE. So he’s got the quality catalogue, but he acts as if it’s his duty to tell us how dope or good his music is. That’s *** backwards.
Artist are supposed to drop the music and let the fans receive it. Not drop music, get good feedback from that music, and then express disdain that it wasn’t enough good feedback. Keeping it a buck, he looks corny when he carries himself like that.
The infamous Complex list meltdown, going up to everyday struggle last year to argue with Ak, meltdown at the wrestling match... Fam, do you know how much of a cornball you have to be acting like to where Dj Akademiks looks like he’s getting under your skin?
if Wale started a podcast and became fully self sufficient content creator (podcast, youtube channel, vlogging, live streams in studio, sell his own merch, put out his own music) I bet he becomes 5x bigger.
Like if someone who reached Wale’s level of fame (or infamy) took the Joe Budden 2016-now approach and followed it up with music, it would be gold.
I’d bump a Wale podcast heavier than I’ve bumped any of his music since I was in high school.
He also was mad at at an announcer at a Wizards game a couple years backHe spazzed on a fan/someone tweeting at him to come collect a fade or some **** like that.
LMAO
I'm laughing at how brilliant of an idea this is this would absolutely work IMO and not just for wale, but any rapper with a real tangible following taking a more grassroots approach like podcasting, vlogging, etc.
its really that simple.
content just wins now.
i found myself getting swooped into gary vee’s social media ecosystem just off how much good content he creates from interviews even just to motivational short videos. a nipsey hussle interview turned into me subscribing/following all of his social media accounts on ig twitter youtube.
imagine if someone who actually creates art and has gone gold and platinum off of said art took this approach of just letting people into discussion/video of its creation, and the circumstances surrounding it.
Lowkey I feel like Kanye wanna do this but he also wanna keep the mystique. He said he films everything and I think videos like the Ti vs. Ye convo would be amazing because Im sure he produces content like that daily (great convos that turn into songs).
lowkey if every rapper built their fanbase like this and hit the regular media New York circuit of Vlad/complex/genius/hot 97/breakfast club, why do you need a label?

Labels are needed nowadays primarily for the distribution and you're average rapper isnt built for that .
what’s being distributed if literally albums are dropped via a link that takes you to where you choose between tidal/spotify/apple/google play
once you get one of those links (which i assume a label is not needed for), what else is being distributed? big time artists are lucky to move 100k physical copies now.
It's not as simple as that. The record labels have to make deals with these services to license all that ****. Your stuff just doesnt pop up on tidal or spotify. Specifically my point is that the labels do all the behind the door **** that your average rapper doesnt wanna do. A ***** like Lil Pump doesnt wanna be in those meetings working out deals and handling the business. He just wants to sign the signature that gets him his check.
I don’t know who I like more between Gunna and Baby....Baby more consistent but Gunna got them melodies
That's dope Cole taking Thug on tour. Thug has gotten so many co-signs and still fumbles to reach that level.
Damn man RIP Big T. One of the best hooks ever.
