is Wale the 2011 "Rapper" of the year?

[gifted]

Not even close.

I'd say Jon Connor for 'rapper' of the year. Yep I said it. This dude has been killing every song he done. Dropping substance as well.

& Kendrick. Both of them been spazzing on tracks. Riggamortis alone, Hiii power, temptation scene stealimg verse on Game and Drake.

Cole woulda but he dumbed himself down and sold out for mainstream appeal like Wale, understandble in this climate but i lose some respect for dude.

 

[antarticp]

the last thing he did was kill everything but he def knows how to "pick" a track but as far as "killing" a track ....................................................................................

I see how you could make the argument easily.

Wale is def the comeback rapper of the year and the Hustler of the year.

He had an incredible year from the Ambition tour to the viral campaign for the album.
Two retail albums that got critical praise that the fans love and a quality mix tape.
The Vids & Vlogs put him a step ahead of the competition.

It took a lot of Ambition to drop an album without a pop-song, platinum rapper or big name producer on it but Wale pulled it off.

Kendrick Lamar gets this title, IMO

 

[FyHunnit]

Ambition is like #8 for me.

I personally think the RED album shits all over it

I think somebody is just living in the moment but Wale did have a nice album Rapper of the year "Not so fast my friend"

true story but the r.e.d album shits on a lot of albums this year. Game may not be the best lyricist or the most creative but he can make an album.

Not even close.

My early nominee for Rookie of the Year next year, connor is dope as shit....

WTT>>Take Care>>Ambition. Wale be on some wack shit sometimes, Atleast Drake tried something different on "Take Care".

"Lord Knows", "Undeground Kings", We'll Be Fine", and "Over My Dead Body">>>EVERY track on "Ambition" except for "Ambition" and MAYBE "DC or Nothing"

[gunot_killa]

Fucc no walw is a punk ass crying bitch. Spider Loc is the rapper of the 2011.

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

whoever calls ambition a classic is a mmg stan. it was a good album, but niggas overrate the shit outta that album.

 

[andre_1024]

Wale is def the comeback rapper of the year

now this i'll agree to..

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Wale did more overall outside his own work than Kendrick which is why i gave him the nod. His features, his freestyles, all people remember Kendrick for outside of section 80 is smashing that "Buried Alive" hidden track.... It's not about just having the best album, its about the overall workload, Wale was everywhere. Just my opinion.

Wale put in work with two albums and a Mixtape and some nice features, sick visuals and a successful tour and he did it all without diluting his music with the POP disease that's been rampant in the game over the past year.
