The Official Wale "Ambition" Album Discussion Thread

[blackrain]

The beats on this cd are on point. The drums, the high hats, the percussion's speak directly to a nigga. I'm glad the production sounds like it does instead of a bunch of lex luger and justice league beats. Them shits drown him out. I expected Wale to have more girlie tracks than your normal cat so that didn't really throw me off. Illest Bitch Alive should have just been a instrumental. That and slight work are just bad tracks. I fucks with everything else. This nigga be saying some slick ass shit. His metaphor's and word play are great. However his metaphor's and wordplay are the things holding this album back from being better than it was. He just fell into the trap of just rapping to be rapping too much. The album is missing those one or two tracks with direction and more substance based subject matter. I don't need any concept tracks and shit but Wale has better abilities to make songs about something. But I guess he did that on AD and shit go overlooked. Now he's more in the line of rapping to be rapping and he's getting more love. Tough spot to be in And this shit is whip approved. Just wish he had a little more food for thought.

i give this a 3.5/5

The beats on this album are nuts...Sabotage's beat is nuts...aside from Lloyd's annoying ass hook that's one of my favorites solely because of the break down at the end...I love that you can tell most of the instruments on the songs are live..it gives the album a different feel from most...I'm torn on Illest Bitch Alive...it's not a bad song, it just sounds awkward hearing "You the illest bitch ailve/you my sister" on a song being said right after one another...Slight Work is a mixtape track i don't know how that made the album...it's not bad it's just not something you put on a cd...but lyrically Wale goes off on Double M Genius, Don't Hold Your Applause, Miami Nights, and Legendary...I was looking forward to another song like "Shades" or "Diary" but I guess by putting "Ambitous Girl" on 11.1.11 Theory he filled that role already...overall though I like the album...it's different from Attention Deficit and I can see Wale's growth as a lyricist and overall artists on Ambition

I don't hate Slight Work...I was bumping Ambition riding w/ my brother yesterday and when that came on we both fell out laughing at the "Bitch get hit with my Ciroca vodka choppa" line...honestly it's the best verse I've heard from Big Sean maybe including his album...it's just a waste of a slot to put that on Wale's album...honestly they could've simply doubled up on the Lloyd features or simply put Ne-Yo on the hook for "Let's Chill"...I'm still shocked that didn't make the album...could have been the pefect follow up to Lotus Flower Bomb

[R.D.]

glad im not the only one who thinks that don't hold ur applause was ill. after 3 listens, ill agree that this>>>>>cole world, but i can appreciate both albums though. Ya gonna be suprised at the numbers it does. 4/5 rating still stands. slight work is kinda growin on me.

this is definitely not true !

i cut the album to 10 songs deep so i could listen to it

had to take out chain music, slight work, no days off, and dc or nothing
