Wale "Shine" Album Discussion Out now

[lamontbdc]

This is make or break for Wale man

What makes you say that

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'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

TAAN is not better than FHD.

yea i thought he might've been saying the gifted was better than born sinner b/c no way is TAAN 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

To b a plat rapper u have 2 have a big white fanbase & wale is not aiming for the Becky Marshall shady crackkka Trump crowd.......Wale don't have the machine euromath stamp & he's not half white so he's not doing kdot & j Cole numbers

 

[southsil4lil]

I really liked Attention Deficit, Ambition and most of his mixtapes but the rest of his studio albums have been underwhelming-forgettable

Based off the track listing I dont have much desire to hear the album but I'll probably give it a listen at some point

I thought Pharrell and Timbaland were suppose to play a big part on this album too?

 

[IceBergTaylor]

All I said was skill and talent wise, Wale SHOULD be right up there with Cole & Kendrick when it comes to appreciation . I'm not talkin about sales

 

[gee757]

Wale was the 1st & only rapper to perform @ a president state of the union address Kendrick & Cole can't say that... Wale is doing better than he ever dreamed of on mmg after being a slave on the shady interscope​cotton picking slave plantation...... Interscope had wale tryna to appeal to the shady Trump crowd wit Lady Gaga & that shit ain't him he had 2 get wit a blk label 2 b successful & #Shine

 

[rip.dilla]

Nigga sampled a Marvin Gaye beat and a Michael Jackson's lyrics for that song... not impressed. Too much jacking

The video was cool though

True but that's where is personality has hurt him....all that bickering and crying about shit...arguing with any dam body on twitter and shit....it turned folks off

 

[Rampage12]

Isn't that "My PYT" song he put on here old as shit??? For some reason I thought he tried to put that on his last album but couldn't get the sample cleared or something.

This is make or break for Wale man

I agree..

Wale needs to make this his dark sky paradise

This is make or break for Wale man

What makes you say that

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.

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

This is make or break for Wale man

What makes you say that

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.

All I said was skill and talent wise, Wale SHOULD be right up there with Cole & Kendrick when it comes to appreciation . I'm not talkin about sales

I told yall time after time the IC choose sides.... Wale gets teh he signed with Ross hate while Cole gets the hes with Jay and Roc nation hype and Kendrick gets the Dr. Dre Aftermath push. When all thee dudes first dropped they were all loved.

I would shake my purse for him, but he has too many guest features on that shit. MMG might as well drop this as a compilation album instead.

Lol @ J Balvin being on the album

 

[R2_163]

I feel like after all these years, I don't understand why Wale still doesn't get it smh. This should've been his concept album about his Nigerian roots, his beautiful daughter, his roller coaster music industry journey, or something. Instead it's just a bunch of music packaged together with a sell date. It's a formula, a basic ass formula he refuses to acknowledge because he whether have "radio hit" fame than build a solid discography. His talent should be celebrated, he's too old to still be this naive and have been in the game too long for this bullshit.
