I don’t I think Wale is average, and that beat “Mama Told Me” on his album is a rip from Dr.Dre’s “Shit Popped Off”. Do your research.

R and Stanlee make great points about label interference. I thought that this a very good album that could’ve done without a couple of the features (hook are okay btw). My other two favorite hip-hop [debut] albums by Skyzoo and Fashawn had very little or no features at all. Granted, they weren’t as high profile, but I would have liked to hear more verses from the guy that I paid to listen to. I like J. Cole, Skateboard P, and Bun B, but I could have done without them. Wale has shown us that he’s more than capable of holding his own without anyone’s help. I’m proud of this guy from my area and glad that the album’s F-I-N-A-L-L-Y out.

The label is afraid of what wale is doing right now. To them, they’re taking a big risk by deviating from whats popular right now. I believe that with proper marketing, they can make wale a star. They already did him justice by giving him high profile features and notice that every beat from his album was contributed by someone significant in the music world (save for UBC) so they have some sort of confidence in him. They’re just waiting to see how many albums he can push and hopefully they will begin to increase his profile.

@ Ryan T. I know rite? That was kinda disheartening, I went to like 3 different Target stores and NONE of them had the album in stores. Label fuckery indeed

I went to Best Buy & Target to cop it when it dropped but neither location carried the album… So I was kinda pissed that I had to call a few different places to see if it was available to purchase. It was worth the hassle though

@tronic center of attention is artistic integrity pt.2

I co-sign Mike Dreams. This album is DOPE, if u actually listen to it i dont kno how u can say otherwise. but if the label didnt try controllin it so much i think it could of been flawless. And funny thing is, label fucked themselves up even MORE by undershippin the album, they only shipped 30K and enuff ppl were goin to stores and it wus sold out so they lost ENUFF sales… all went to itunes (he wus no.2 just under 50′s album in all genres)

ah well… at least the album is out there and hes finally gettin some respect
