Yardie got the drop on Wale’s latest video, which premiered on 106 & Park earlier tonight. Who knew 106 & Park was still relevant?
Meanwhile, you can hit the cut for a Tabi Bonney-directed music video in which Wale tossed up because of the brown paper bag backlash he’s received from the above video.
Who knew anything BET related was still relevant?
“Who knew 106 & Park was still relevant?”
^^ it’s not, is it?
i love this song. the video was aight. where is the mike dreams album tho?
hot spitta lool
Yes about time!
has to do with cuchi duhhhh
Clinton Portis.
like the second video better
Peep Michael from The Wire??? Yup.
whats the name of the track that starts at 3:05???
i’m not feeling the fact that Wale feels has to prove something by doing a video with all darker skinned women just because his label made him shoot the main single video with lighter skinned women.
if he really feels like he was compromising his integrity by going along with the label then he shouldn’t have okay’d the ‘Pretty Girls’ video in the first place.
nonetheless the second vid was better.
KSA in my ipod wit it.
Got damn I swear my mom and pop would vibe to that “My Sweetie” joint. Reps naija soooo hard
i saw curren$y n that bitch cheifin
@Sir Nigel
I don’t think he’s tryna prove anything. The song was pretty much repping Nigeria and to assist with recreating the african party feel of the song he shot the video at an African party. I don’t know that many light skinned girls from west africa… he’s just havin fun wit his heritage.
why’s the ‘pretty girls’ receiving backlash? is it because of the ‘ugly girls be quiet’ thing?
that my sweetie track is dope, it sucks that people like myself that cop the physical copies of albums don’t get to have the bonus tracks
I wonder who smokes more, Spitta or Snoop?
@BW
Its receiving backlash because there are only light skinned girls in it
Wale is cool
I like Wale’s music but I was disappointed in seeing the “Free Gucci” shirt he wore in the video. Makes me sick that people would say shit like that about anybody that chose to do what they did to get their jail time.
what’s the deal the brown paper bag backlash?
I can’t believe im saying this, but Gucci’s verse was actually half way deasent, i mean at last i could understand him.
So uh… Free Gucci!!
word @ Dangerous Vortex
why say “Free ____(insert wack rapper name here)” when they knew EXACTLY what they were doing and are hardly getting any time in the first place, knowing not a damn one of the people that rock a “free gucci” shirt or a “free weezy” shirt would EVER wear a “free mumia” or a “free asata” shirt unless someone said it was cool.
@olugbam when was the last time u been to west africa cus i was in nigeria this last month and theres a grip of light skinned girls
why is the My Sweetie video 10x better lol
@JL not everyone that listens to gucci is an idiot, i personally listen to gucci and that whole camp cus thats funniest shit i heard in awhile all they’re doing is clowning
first video was trash…like, that song had so much potential and the directors pissed it away with some bullshit low budget cameo nonsense (yea, i’m hating…fuck you directors)
second video was dope…my africans know what it is
@Side911 i was there this winter. and yeah you’re right but a grip is exaggerating. most the girls down by where i was (oyo) is medium-dark skinned. my main point is that it was a damn african party. aint gonna be a bunch of alicia keys looking girls. i don’t think he was trying to prove a damn thing, but i been to my fair share of nigerian parties, and you don’t have to hand pick dark skinned sisters to get the party to have the complexion.
@DangerousVortex the obvious reason is cause its a simple and catchy marketing ploy to keep their brand alive during their stint.
i’d rock it cause its bullshit that court system never fail to sentence a celebrity of color, but if a white socialite downs a 5th of vodka and jumps in the drivers seat of their lambo they get away with a judge wagging their finger in their face…so FREE GUCCI
@olugbam it’s true
was that ray rice in the pretty girls video?
damn shame. i work in dc shooting. we were supposed to shoot the pretty girls joint at howards homecoming, but due to some bullshit loafing we couldnt do it. glad everyone is digging the my sweetie joint it was a fun shoot.
@dylanmichael…so u would support a dumb nigga doing dumb shit because rich white folk drink and drive. even tho he represents some of the worst aspects of our people. the system is indeed bullshit, but rocking dumb ass shirts supprting dumb ass niggas isnt gonna change things. smh
behind the scenes for my sweetie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpIAaUbLzIs
fat shouts to tabi..cool kids forever films baby
its a fucking shirt who cares if somebody wears it…and its makes sense for him to wear it in this video with all of Gucci’s chains on… some ppl still mad at that feature but i got over that shit a loooong time ago so why cant yall? most DMV niggas love Gooch…
im just glad my nigga Spit Vicious got some shine…probably the last time he’ll ever be on 106 & Park but that aint a bad thing lol… and i def didnt expect Ray Rizzle to be in there haha… thats whats up
@dylanmichael…so u would support a dumb nigga doing dumb shit because rich white folk drink and drive. even tho he represents some of the worst aspects of our people. the system is indeed bullshit, but rocking dumb ass shirts supprting dumb ass niggas isnt gonna change things. smh
ALL TYPES OF COSIGN ON THAT
but the pretty girls video was pretyt lame, at least gucci was gone though
“IF ITS NOT K’NAAN I WILL NOT CO-TOUR” HA that what it is!
—–intelligentRebelLion.org
hahahahaha how did that nigga from the Wire get in this video LMAO
oh yea n can we talk about gucci wtf this dude punched a girl in the face n now is on everyones shit i dont get it ????? the shits on youtube!!
———————————->>>INTELLIGENTREBELLION.org
Both of these videos were nice in my opinion. I didn’t know about My Sweetie and I have to say that is a smooth track!
@ dylanmichael
I feel sorry for you. Gucci is probably the dumbest rapper in the game right now. His wack music to the side, he keeps doing the same shit over and over and over etc…that lands him behind bars every time and people have the nerve to say “Free Gucci”. It’s ignorant when he’s doing it to himself. If anything, the judge went back on his word from the last time. He’s supposed to be doing 2 years this time around. People need to just let Gucci do what little time he’s got this time then later this year see him back in there again for the same shit.
Wale sold out
FAk, o well.
@smh > you’re missing the point my man. but what ‘worst’ aspects does he represent?
@DangerousVortex > cmon kid you don’t have to feel sorry for me..you can talk to ppl without sitting in your ivory tower.
you yentas are acting like a judge is gonna see some ‘free gucci’ tees, rub his chin and say to himself, “they’ve got a point”.
nobody is arguing he didn’t do it, else there’d be “GUCCI IS INNOCENT” tees.
the problem comes from the exact same mentality that you’re in, quick to call into question the intelligence of a southern drawled black man.
i hate when ppl act like hip-hop runs across a single spectrum from
dumbsmart
hiphop is a broad genre now.
no need to argue the merits of a radric davis in a csection tho. nobody reads this shit anyways.
You guys need to fall the fuck back!
Both cuts are fucking dope. I don’t get why yall gotta point out the “My Sweetie” joint cause it’s got dark skinned ladies in it! Trust me, that’s all yall haters are chatting bout. Fall the fuck off the racial tip and enjoy a good video for a dope song..
My sweetie had a fresh vid too.
“I wonder who smokes more, Spitta or Snoop?” @Ohh Yeaaaaahhhhh
For sure Spitta doe’s that bum has no major responsibilities like children and tv shows. ect. although i’m sure Snoop is probably high doing all that, he probably a little chiller
Man, the “sweetie” video remind me of house parties back in high skool….cant even do that shit now cause nucca’s want to shoot up the party….SAd
a dc rapper does a video about pretty girls, and i ain’t even notice one ethiopian female..smh..gucci man feature was so unnecessary..its just tryin to hard to be commercial
^^^preach that shit Don1 lol.. i was gonna say that but then i saw that he aint pick out the girls
Ethiopian Women>>>>>>>>
whoever edited that pretty girls video needs to fuckin retire
Michael from the wire is in Pretty girls, dope.
Also, that ugly girl in the glasses was in Poe’d Up too. She must be good at suckin dick.
10 isn’t relevant – but it’s okay to get excited about a dope artist getting some airtime.
*106 isn’t relevant – but it’s okay to get excited about a dope artist getting some airtime.
i luv how ppl front like most hip hop videos don’t have nothin but lightskinned girls in the video… why ppl gettin extra mad at this one like he set the black population bak 100yrs? lol. not like the video’s filled wit white girls or nothin, and he did have some variety in it. y’all should b able to tell the diff between a label funded video (pretty girls) and an artist funded video
*and an artist funded video (my sweetie)
every girl in the video was slammin good work whale!
both video’s are tight.
pretty girls- thick girls and skinny girls. maybe not darkskin but “medium” skin watever that means
and to those saying Africans arent light skin. I’m a light skin Nigerian. and I know A LOT of other ones.
DUDE I WATCHED WALE ON 106 YESTERDAY…
AND THIS NIGGA MUSTVE THOUGHT HE WAS A COMEDIAN OR SOMETHING…
BECAUSE HE TRIED TO SAY THIS JOKE…& NO BODY WAS LAUGHING…
I MEAN USUALLY MUFUCKAS WOULD BE LAUGHIN FOR NO REASON…BUT IT WAS QUIET IN THAT BITCH..
TO ME IT WAS LIKE SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT…SMH
IT WAS AN EPIC FAIL…SOMBODY POST IT IF U GOT IT!
Ok, Pretty Girls had many problems and none of them had anything to do with the fact that there were light skin girls in the video (and I’m a dark skin Nigerian girl). The video just sucked! There were congos and no one playing them. Chris from the Wire was in the joint but are we from Bmore? If you are going to pick someone from the wire it should be Slim Charles AKA Big G from Backyard, which this song samples. It’s a DMV CLASSIC! Every single party from my entire freshmen year centered on this song and not ONE person from Backyard is in it? The concept was weak and has been done a BILLION times.
The My Sweetie joint is HOT. I just didn’t think it was a good selection of West African girls. They weren’t any light skinned girls and some of those girls were bammas! But the concept was fire so it gets a free pass. Shouts to Tabi.
I heard these white boys on the bus to class talking about how they listen to Wale but they kept calling him Wall-ee. It was a pitiful moment. Then it got straight pathetic when they started talking about Lil Wayne.
@sida911 Thank You so much, I’m sick of people thinking that girls in West Africa are all dark skinned… Especially In Nigeria, the funny thing is the majority are actually light skinned..I’m talking medium brown..to light light… especially girls that are Igbo that is like the typical look, but African doesn’t mean dark there is a wide spectrum of colors.. and i was in Nigeria last spring and trust me nothing changed, i was probably darker than most..
Oh yeah, the girl in the beginning of the video with the two streaks has that typical Nigerian Ibo girl look and i know ya’ll Nigerians know exactly what i’m talking bout’ my Mama said the same thing

THE ART OF THE HIPHOP VIDEO IS DEAD. 1st Why would he make a song with gucci? 2nd why make the video if gucci isn’t present.
[...] drops not 1, but 2 hot videos for Pretty Girls and My Sweetie, both from his album “Attention [...]
