In my opinion Wale should be at the forefront with Kendrick & Cole cause dude can rap his ass off and is very talented. Somehow he hasnt managed to get there. Its like a high school basketball star who never reaches his potential once he gets to the A. The Album About Nothin was supposed to be a big album for him and it came and went.

Wale been slowly fallin off for a while now. I might not even listen to this shit.

Yeah I bought album about nothing and it was aight

But I don't think he'll ever be as popular as he was around Ambition era so

Wale is in the same place Big Sean was before DSP and J.Cole before FHD. Like my brother in gods @IceBergTaylor said, it really is make or break for Wale. As much as I rip on Wale he is super talented and has the potential but I always felt his music structure was unorganized. Big Sean was determined to get over the loss of his girlfriend and grandmother, J.Cole wanted to speak for a time and generation that was reeling from social issues and growing pains. Wale needs an approach/direction IMO.

I want to see him win and that's rich coming from me. I always felt he should leave MMG they just don't have the machine to push his music to platinum status like that but maybe he'll prove me wrong.

Cole was in a great space before FHD but I get what you're saying

True. Still feels like he missed his mark. Which is a shame because Wale is criminally underrated.

Who the fuk r u but a mod from Canada on a states hip hop site?? The last time I checked wale album flopped under the interscope shady white supremacy slave empire & wale got 2 gold albums on mmg...so how is he not winning?... Gtfoh wale will never b a plat artist & that's cool

I hope this album is fire. Wale is dope but he has zero hype an he could fail.

Wale's album was better thanColes album that came out around the same time. He just dont have that same fan base it is what it is

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

If it is his make or break, it's his 2nd one, I thought ambition was make or break n he made it by far, then started a really slow decline, this to me is making it back on track or breaking. Last couple albums were ok but not great imo

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

To me he too focused on tryna make a song that's "in" or forcing wrestling references, hopefully that Cole song set him straight

Bingo.... Kendrick is on the machine under the EUROmath shady umbrella so his fanbase is bigger... & Cole is half white & wale raps that blk soul so of course Cole's fanbase is bigger.....Wale is fine where he's @ on a blk label getting that blk dollar on the blk market gold #Shine

Wale in the same boat Joe Budden was. It's a common thing to just say "wale whack" without even listening.

It's crazy, I've actually seen ppl rocking to some of his songs m, but then turnaround and say he still whack

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Idk black women still love wale plus he gonna get those Nigerians bumping his album

TAAN is not better than FHD.

seems like we trying to make this nigga what he's not....i'm just gonna appreciate the music and not wonder why he's not out there like kendrick and j cole..I think his lat 2 albums were number 1...this shit isn't going to break him

with that said he really doesn't have a hit single that's in rotation...usually he got a junt that hoes are loving

i fucked with running back but that fashion week shit kinda wack...and the momentum for PYT been played out...he would've been better off dropping that shit right now instead of last summer sense it was such a big deal to get that sample...I'm check for the album but he needs a single to pop at some point

and to think wale is going platinum is crazy...nigga not on that level
