Harsh Article On Wale By The Washington City Paper (Talks About Attitude + Music)

[R.D.]

I do co-sign what the writter said bout his Twitter personality

Dude came to my school to perform back in September and not only was he e-beefin with a Twitter heckler from the crowd prior to the show, he brought that shit up in the middle of the concert smh

is that where he called out the hoe and and basically told her to leave ?

although the writer does come off as a hater, wale do be gettin emotional. look at this clip:

[video=youtube;FtbitrL-qcs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtbitrL-qcs[/video]

[real_hh_rep]

The author of this tired article definitely doesn't like Wale. I'm missing the times (as written in another thread) when people were just focusing on the up-coming record. Artists are getting shitted on before even relasing a damn album. Everybody hates everybody. Internet is such a junk!

 

[GSonII]

Wale is not trash but close to it IMO.

Lmao, this nigga is even more emotional than I thought.

Type of nigga that won't fuck with you for a couple days after a Madden ass whooping.

*Sigh*

T/S u from the area? Dont seem like it....

Let me clear up some things for those not from the area:

1)The Washinton City Paper is NOT the main paper of the city...its written by hipsters w/ outside the box OPINIONS and they MUST do sideways shyt liek this to try to gain limelight

They are no Washinton Post, they arent even the Examiner....

2) There are TOO MANY leaps and reaches that the writer pases of as fact. He puts it in their so slick too

i.e.- 'Wale was supposed to be the savior of DC rap in 05'

Umm, no, he wasnt...his entire article is based on this premise too smh

'DC was thought to have been a primarily go-go city' -He says this like its not true!? Yes, it is!

This article is trash.

I can understand him talking shit, but flipping the nigga's hat is straight up hoe shit. He knows he got security so there was no way he was getting touched.
Nigga acting like he would have shot the fair one with homie outside, smh.

Nah as someone who was a fan of wale back then.. He was definitely put in that savior role. And the author doesn't say Dc isn't a go go city..... You're reading it wrong. And just cause it's an article from a small paper doesnt make it any less credible.... He played the hater here but as someone who's been following wale for years i found a lot if it to be truth

I respect your opinion.

I just remember when he first came out, when he was just local...

Nggas was HEAVY on that 'Yungin aint even from DC, he from MoCo' *DC accent*

But NOW thats he's big it's 'dont forget about DC!!!"

If im Wale, fuk yall nggas...LOL

He's doin everyting he can to rep.

-He blew w/ go-go inspired songs

-He flipped go-go songs and made it 'rap'

-His current single, the 'Work' jnt, is a global single, that has nothing but DC references...in fact i heard it on the radio and i thought it was one of them local remixes.

What else they want him to do?

I understand Wale emotions to an extent, but the writer got some good points... as far as Wale/Bmore/DC, I think True God got something to say about that for real LOL

Since when did the opinions of old white men mean anything to black folks when it comes to HipHop??

His opinion is about as worthless as Bill O'reily or George Bush.....this Ofay sent 25 Tweets in a row trying to troll Drake on Twitter and he drops V-Nasty videos in his Fader blogs....it's in his nature.

Bitches gonna whine regardless, that's why you don't try to please everybody you just come from the heart and fuck with your own.

Hatred and dislike is a bonus at times because it puts people in their proper places.

So u saying Rick Rubin's opinion aint shit to Hip Hop cause he's white?

 

[usmarin3]

I swear everyone who has access to a computer feels they are a critic nowadays. All that the author is yapping about is what makes Wales music approachable, he puts it all out there. I do agree he shows bitchassness a lot of time and do pander to females too much, but every rapper has their ways to be honest. Let the man do him, Wale is still a young dude and will find his niche eventually.

 

[BlackAX410]

Skimmed the article but as many posters revealed on here before the DMV area is a hating as area, it's hard to get support nobody wants to see you shine its a crab in a barrel mentality it's a reason Wale hasn't "Put On" some guys from out here niggaz was makin diss tracks on him for no reason mainly Bossman so the arrogance is warrented for the most part if ur from the area u understand

 

[lamontbdc]

this article is written by a all out hater and he's down with fat trel. these niggas want DC to be known for having a hardcore street rapper.

told yall we a city full of crabs and haters. niggas really expect him to have a go go sound on every track he's not a go go artists. tell the go go bands to do that shit

this shit long as fuck city paper don't even cover the crooked ass mayor this closely though city paper is a good read and i pick it up eery Thursday.

 

[H-Rap 180]

So u saying Rick Rubin's opinion aint shit to Hip Hop cause he's white?

I'm saying that this old white man who isn't a part of the culture doesn't have an opinion that I'm obligated to respect or co-sign.

Rick Rubin is a Rock dude to me, he should stick with death-metal & satanic-rock or producing Beastie Boy tracks, that's his lane and that's what he does
best, his opinion on Kendrick Lamar means absolutely nothing to me.

Now Russell Simmons can speak his piece because he's still connected to the culture and I might feel obligated to respect it but some old white blogger talking about Wale mentioning HBCU's while he's on the outside looking in is laughable.

 

[R.D.]

I dont respect the musical opinion of anybody who's a fan of Fat Trel
