Wow this joint is fucking dope! You can find this (tagged version) on DJ Capcom & DJ Haze’s Leaders of the New School Empire mixtape and (a tagless version) on Wale’s debut album, Attention: Deficit (November 3rd).
Wale samples Rihanna’s Question Existing on Contemplate, one of the tracks off his debut album Attention: Deficit. The song was produced by Syience, the man behind Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Hollywood and John Legend’s Take Me Away. – Rap-Up

The album comes out in November and almost half of it has already leaked.
On a side note, until I posted this comment, I never noticed the Dr. Dre feature in the tracklist. HOLY SHIT!
@ KC, thanks, but I thought it was going to be a new bunch of songs from the new school. I heard pretty much all of those songs. I already got Cudi’s cd and all those Wale songs been released.
@ Jimbo, yeah I don’t know either, but I was just stating to “jjones” about all the songs that have been put out lately. I tried finding a track list for the album to see exactly what is on and what isn’t but I couldn’t find one.
I never noticed the Dre feature either. This song talks about some real shit. Can’t wait for the CDQ.
@ Higher Up. Nike Boots, are you serious. Didn’t that come out in early 08 or late 07? and where did you find that track list at?
@Higher Up. where did you find that because i didn’t think the tracklist had been released yet
this is definitely the best song with meaning that has leaked so far
the album also got pushed back a week so now its November 10th…..damnit
wow, wut an amazin trak, real shit right here.
And to clear up all this leak talk, nike boots and bunch of the other traks dat been leaked lately rnt on the album. only album cuts that been leaked so far r:
Chillin, Pretty Girls, World Tour and now this Contemplate song.
The only other possible album cut is the song wit Pharell but i think its a bonus cut cuz it wus not on the album b4.
Definitely coppin ADD wheneva it comes out
ima make sure to support my man in november. this album will be bangin.
Ice & Rain, Fly Away, and Bittersweet arent on the album.. Check his Twitter for proof
DMV STAND THE F*** UP
Damn, this track is just all kinds of dope!
Hey Shake, any idea when the CDQ’s dropping? Knowing this site, I know you guys are pretty much off that.
this is wack, lets be real here.
this and the Pharrell joint goes
B.E.T Hip-Hop Awards 2009 Eminem Freestyle Cipher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4nRBxxYInI
here is a review of the cypher in the bet hip hop awards thing (bet cyphers are the only thing i care about from BET, other than that they could all commit Japanese ritual suicide.)
Undoubtedly, the main reason to watch this show is for the three cyphers. DJ Premier was on the boards for all three, and the first featured Wale, Nipsey Hussle, G-SAN, and KRS-One. The preceding three did well, but as a veteran freestyler it was the Blastmaster who emerged with the best verse. The second group featured Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, Crown Royal, and Joe Budden. Minaj surprised many in the crowd with an engaging verse highlighted by a clear, precise flow, and several vocal inflection changes mimicking the chipmunk soul sample effect and the snobbish accent of an aristocrat. The flair and energy Minaj showed had everyone thinking she took this round. That is, until Joe Budden ended matters.
The controversial Jersey lyricist casually strolled front and center and shut down the mic. Even though this type of Atlanta crowd wasn’t familiar with his history, his bars were too good and an audience that was previously going wild over Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane was mesmerized by his performance. Even with the physical assault from the Wu and scrutiny from other vets like Melle Mel, Budden didn’t hesitate to throw a few subliminals their way (“I said something that got the vets upset/But I’m a student of the game/Not a teacher’s pet.”). There were further nice lines about artists needing majors to succeed, while he just needed an “ethernet cable,” which was juxtaposed with a previous line reference to the classic diss “Ether.”
And when everyone thought the cyphers were done, we saw Premier again flashed on the screen surrounded by Mos Def, Black Thought, and Eminem. Before they said a word, the crowd started buzzing and clapping (especially among press row), because anyone with a semblance of Hip-Hop awareness knew what was about to go down.
Mos started first, and ripped it with a verse showcasing veneration for Islam and its offshoots like the Nation of Gods and Earths. Midway, Mos started going back and forth between traditional rhyme schemes and the Jamaican toasting that originated Hip-Hop, eliciting claps from the audience. Black Thought went in next, and brought his usual rapid-fire, flawless flow. He spit longer than Mos, and got the crowd even more engaged as Eminem stood next to him nodding and taking in the bars. The crowd buzzed anytime Em appeared on screen, no doubt anticipating a great closer as each emcee’s verses built further anticipation.
People have marveled at Eminem’s verse of “Forever.” It you were impressed with that, just make sure to tune into this award show. I gave up trying to write down what he was saying because the flow was too nasty and fast for my hand, but I can verify the crowd went crazy when he brought an assonance heavy rhyme scheme that brought together several Arabic names to highlight how he was mixture of several figures like Barack Obama and Saddam Hussein. Honestly, once he finished the show could’ve ended right there.
@ purp
To be real here, it wasn’t wack. It has substance. Listen to the hook then listen to the verses.
his cd is about to leak super early. i can feel it.

Comtemplate isn’t the title. It’s Can I Endure.

WHO IS EXCITED FOR THAT DIARY TRACK??????
^^^ yea thats what I was waiting for, the insults and anger that some of you get when a negative comment is said about your precious Wale’s and whoever else. It’s my opinion, i really feel he’s not good.
yo yo yo wutup this is Wale Folarin straight outta DC! @ Purp stop hatin…fuck the haters
ALBUM DROPPIN NOVEMBER 3RD GO COP IT
shout out to my dudes at 95.5
wow made my fucking day.dope! thx!
new wale is dope, thanks shake.
You can tell that ain’t Wale cause his album was pushed back to the 10th hahahaha. What an epic fail Smfh…..
Damn thats ether on fake wale lol
^agreed, they say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Maaan, why are artists afraid to max out their albums??? Wale said on his twitter that there’s 14 songs on the album…..what was he doing in his spare time during the pushbacks??? I would be filling that shit up giving the fans my absolute best and make a name for myself. Not just be another guy in the industry. This is sad Smfh…..
no thnx imma wait for the tagless version…
& whaaa the album pushed back…? DAMN
@ 1 Dollar
ever heard of fillers homie? yea… some albums get oversaturated with fillers that the record as whole isnt the “absolute best” you can give to your fans. too many unecessary songs that dont live up to the others. you want ur debut album to be remembered for quality. he decided to put out his top 14 joints. some of the best albums ever only have 13-14 tracks if you minus the skits. sooooo quality > quantity
fill up a mixtape with throwaways, not an album
dwayne…
yo i peep that youtube link and em sounded like he went in cause the crowd went nutz for his lines…
good job man…
^^agreed, when does the bet awards come out?
and im glad to see joe budden in the cypher!
I’d rather have quality than quantity its just most artists can’t deliver that. Hopefully Wale can rise up to the challenge and start his career out with a classic or at least a very strong album.
This song is BOMB.
I’ve been playing it since it dropped.
BEST song I’ve heard in a minute.
the song has so much meaning, it’s crazy.
Music with substance>>>>>all else.
@1dollar
actually the albums gonna be released november 3rd. look it up. it says nowhere that it will be released on the 10th…
what’s the actual title of the song? on the tracklist of the “leaders of the new empire” mixtape it says it is “can i endure”?
you can get the mixtape here: http://blowinupda.blogspot.com
really looking forward to wales album gonna be dope
