is Wale the 2011 "Rapper" of the year?

[andre_1024]

Lol @ Kendrick. You think the average rap fan knows who Kendrick Lamar is? Only on The Reason

yea i'm sure the average rap fan knows who Kendrick Lamar..maybe not the average radio listener, but most ppl who are fans of rap have heard Kendrick's name before..

Section 80 is probably album of the year, and has he has killed EVERY feature he's been on..Kendrick is rapper of the year..

Co-sign. I dont think i will EVER take Wale serious. Something is not rite to me about him. I like a few songs from him but to me he is the epitome of soft street mainstream music.

Kendrick OWNED 2011, only real Hip Hop listeners knows that.

 

[birdcallaveli]

nope......

 

[wmj710]

Im A go ahead and vote no

 

[StreetMediaZone]

I'd rather someone attempt to be lyrical then just talk shit. We all know he's not one of the better lyricists, but the fact that he attempts it and actually adds lyricism into his raps and still keeps the same vibe/subject matter=success.

let me explain using words like exuberant over excellent

tabernacle over church

but uppity Negroes like your self cant smell what i'm cookin

because your nose is stuck up ya own ass

ID RATHER BYTCH NIKKAS DIDNT QUOTE ME *LOOKS AT YOU*

DUDE throws my gay dar on high alert

Old Wale > New Wale = Not the rapper of 2011.

 

[DatNiggaB1]

Oh hell no... My momma > Yo momma > Wale

Lmao this was funny.

No but I can say Esiam is the wackest poster of the year and he joined in the last quarter but he made an impression none the less.

The hate was just seeping out of this post and thats even funnier...lmao!

Anyway nah, noone ain't gonna say it but Cole World>>>Ambition and I currently play Ambition way more. Jus MO tho.......

 

[Silverfoxxx]

Spitta and Kendrick rised, Lupe and Wiz failed. By the way i a huge Lupe fan, i still believe in him, but Wiz is dead. Shame I use to stan Wiz smh. Wale is poop to me, i can only mess wit a couple of his material, but this nigga had the nerve to say ambition is a classic and grammy worthy when it was really nothing innovaitve an non clasicc. It wasnt bad, but the nigga overhypes shit to much and that comes of corny to me. He sets himself up to embarrass himself because he is big headed and talks too much

 

[urmybitch]

I named my rap nickname after Wale. It's Whale and pronounced pretty much the same way but you pronounce the h like the h in high.

 

[urmybitch]

Wale has started his 3rd album!!! Hell Yeah!!!!! Oh wait I don't give a fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RebelliousIntrovert]

IMO, Childish Gambino's CAMP was AOTY, judge me.

 

[juan travolta]

nah

section 80 was my fav.

ambition sounded to poppy

take care i literally was zoning out on every track.

 

[TheBossman]

someone needs to make this an offical thread for the ic community, rapper of the year for 2011.

top 4 i gotta say:

kanye: 2 #1 albums in one year

em: the most selling rap album of the year

weezy: carter 4

drake: take care

wale/wiz.....(but both didn't have the type of impact like the 4 others i mentioned)

top 5 new comers( first album)

j cole

kendrick

wiz

mac miller

childish gambino

 

[brklynbread]

I hate comparing dudes albums to their mix tapes but, More about nothing was more ambitious, diverse, and entertaining than Ambition. Sonically, Ambition just says alotta of the same things. Individually the tracks are nice (few witty lines, nice beats, wale using some conviction here and there) but, overall the sound of the album didn't deliver in any catagory. I don't regret copping the album tho cuz u gotta support the homie. Cole's debut album> ambition btw.

 

[StillDreaming]

LOL @ Cole World being better than Ambition

 

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

LOL @ Cole World being better than Ambition

lol @ ambition being a top 10 album this year period..... lol @ me looking forward to meek's debut more than wale's........

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Ambition is like #8 for me.

 

[CJ]

Cole world>ambition

Sec 80>ambition

Ambition>take care

WTT>ambition

Wale losing a fan in me

Who is Childish Gumbo?? Can someone tell me more about this cat? What type of rapper he is? Is he mainstream or underground? What city he reps? Why am I asking so many questions?
