At the mention of TSS, Wale said “That was one of the first sites to mention me.”
We’ll proudly pin that up with our collection of flair because Wale, more than likely, has next. His debut is set to be something heavy with Interscope backing and ‘Ye, Just, 9th, Neptunes and Swizz all behind the boards. “Eghck!” word to P. Thornton.
We still have a minute before we see if dude can deliver, but his track record is on point – from doing his go-go thing on 2006′s underground Hate Is The New Love to this past May’s The Mixtape About Nothing. Hitting the game up with free .99 tapes, Wale’s been serving up deals better than stolen iPhones. No wonder he could and did do a release party for a damn mixtape.
Set to get on with the Rock The Bells trek, Wale gave TSS Crew member D. Chanda his Fave Five tracks he’s done so far including a few from The Mixtape About Nothing, and kicked some little-known knowledge about himself as well.
‘Stronger’ Freestyle
“I love this one where I’m talkin’ about my football and all that. That brought me to talk about my football past and I never really mentioned it and I feel like it hit every point so well, youknamean.”
“The Kramer”
“Because of the artistic aspect of it how like it’s like drawing a perfect circle, you know what I’m sayin’, manually. You just look at it like ‘Shit, I just did that.’ It is impossible to draw a perfect circle, but if you did one, you look at it like, ‘Oh shit!’” Read the rest of this entry »
Wale’s new visual clip produced by no other than Rik Cordero.
I’m sorry but if you ain’t vibin’ to dude’s recent contributions & creativity, specifically the mixtape, you may need to check your pulse.

I wish I could have paid for Wale’s Mixtape About Nothing.
Then, I’d be able to sue the brotha for false advertising.
Though there are a lot of “mixtape” cuts that allow Wale to just show how ill of an MC he is, he takes time to truly construct great conceptual masterpieces. Not the least of which is “The Kramer.” Wale creates a musical Babushka Doll in which the song begins with a very wide view analyzing the societal ramifications of using the “N word” then becoming more personal with each line.
Early lines like “Who gonna speak for us, who gonna plea for us/Who gonna be the new head N.I.C. for us/ Who gonna defend us when crooked police want us?/I’m just an insecure N-I-G er” offer glimpses into the fragile psyche of a man lost in the quagmire of modern day race relations.

LOL @ the song titles & each one having “the” in it.
Honestly, I’ve had “The Perfect Plan” in one of my playlists since it came out & I’m starting to honestly anticipate (no e-hype) the recent burst of growth & rise in the conceptual nature of what Wale’s doing.
Mixed by Catchdubs = Good money.
