“Diary…”
AUDIO By David D. on November 12, 2009 at 1:14 pm
If you ask Gotty ™ about Wale, he’ll be sure to tell you that he’s been a fan since the kid was kicking freestyles in fifth grade or something.
Me? I was late. I didn’t become a fan until Wale dropped “The Kramer.” It was his ability to take a topic (the “N” word) that was being run to the ground by every rapper with a pulse at the time and add an emotional layer to it that few could put in their songs.
Attention Deficit is full of “black girl lost” tracks. While these tracks usually get skipped with a quickness in my iPod, Wale was able to captivate me on almost every one of those songs. And there was something about “Diary” that made me keep it on repeat for damn near an hour:
“Queen, you deserve the title but
She rejects what I give
While she nurses the wounds by them
Try them, didn’t work
Got impossible standards
Nothing I’m a do is gonna work
Diary of a Black girl”
I swear, if Mr. Folarin where anywhere near me I’d give him a high five and buy him a Red Stripe for that one.
When I rule the world, every ex-boyfriend that ever screwed over a girl will have to get kicked in the ‘nads by the girl’s new boyfriend every time she gets weirded out and wants to be alone because she’s “having some issues.” Yea, Mr. Ex, it’s because of you that she doesn’t feel comfortable making me a buffalo chicken sammich with extra ranch like she used to make for your sorry ass.
“I’m just trying to be the one that never run
But you run away from me
…She can’t see in me what I see in her
This pain she inherit can’t be reversed.”
And another thing. It’s your fault that when I brought baby girl a bouquet of flowers from my local 7-11, all she could think about was that time you two were walking through a meadow and you told her she looked “frumpy.”
It’s also your fault that I cry after sex and can only perform while Anita Baker or “A Goofy Movie” is on in the background.
Ok…that last one may not be anyone’s fault.
I may have said too much…I’ll let Wale take it from here.

I’m willing to say that BISD DVD > Loso’s Way DVD
Decided to move to another song I see. Smart move lmao.
This song is dope though. This was a very impressive debut album from Mr. Folarin.
does anyone have the other bonus track that’s produced by cool and dre?
I don’t have an itunes account or else I’d buy this album again.. Tuesday morning I jetted to the Best Buy on Armitage in Chicago to cop the cd.. thank god I got there when I did.. they only had TWO copies of the cd, and it wasn’t even in the new releases, it was buried in the hip hop section.
yo anyone got mary… it’s not for me it’s for my girl i swear lol
What’s wrong with listening to Mary?
how the f did they leave that justice league track off the album shit is hot! The album is lacking a slapper like that!
isn’t mary’s supposed to come out christmas? that shit leak already?
TC aint a thing wrong with but i just got out of prison if i go back they might think i went soft.
CO’s lurk around here .
is it me or is til’ the asket drops gonna be themost awesome dopeness audio heroin weve heard in a long time and they got hits too
the wale album surprised me…i stay bumpin that shit.
Wale’s album is dope but that “diary” track is one of the weakest on album…..(my opinion)
how blizted do you get before writing these things?
dude is wayyy overrated.
kopped
@MZ
it’s not hard to say that.
FaboLoso’s way lil movie was damn meh
wales style is real artsy and it goes over alot of peeps heads.
You can only blame yourself if you’re picking up bouquets at 7-11.
I’m looking for a CDQ of the Wale joint “OG Told Me.”
nah i love it hey
reppin D.C. jo. kid doin it. Cissed (or however we spell it today yung)
@ breezy overrated by who?? but ya wale’s got a way to make these type of songs w/o soundin too preachy. Shades is anotha dope trak off the album thats a perfect example. or just look at the ”perfect plan” everybody talks about ”the death of hip hop” but nobody approached it like he did on that joint focusin on the wak fans.. DOPE album, a must cop
