Pick one banger, something hard
Try the helium balloon
I see your title and raise What did Vic Mensa do wrong to not be drake level
... we both know it's a guitar pic waiting for you in hell for this
listen to any wale/cole collab and youll see he is simply not on that top level
... wale washed Cole on every song ...
Connections. Drake was the wonderkid. Wale was an above mixtape rapper at best. He fumbled by not going full DC with that GoGo sound.
Wale coulda had a full Justice League produced album and didn't rock with it.
Honestly Wale music fire, him dont reaching that level its not becaus of the quality of music
People than hate on it, havent heard it
dynamic is created by instability to deeper self-awareness
ur not wrong but its partial
didn't fully understand situation
you realize now you didn't realize that
that's 150 pages
abstraction is even crazier
he thinks we think to obstructively
Laughable. Clearly you don’t listen to Wale to say this. And that’s ok but be knowledgeable about something before you spew bullshit
the only debatable point here is the quality of rapper. you're right, I haven't listened to Wale since The Gifted, but I think his mixtape run plus his first two albums were enough to pass a judgment there
Album about nothing is fire
faaacts, was a return to form, then he went straight back to dropping mid right after ugh
had the juice
s*** hindered him tf
All press is good press. The Drake the kinda guy meme was huge like 3x. People used to Degrassi clips of him getting shot to his songs but, kinda like how TikTok blows s*** up now, it helped bc people looked him up. He switched up his image later and it worked bc he was already known by that point.
Wale and Cole had memes too, but not to that level (well 2x plat and sleep jokes were big)
That being said why we gotta undercut him like that? Like this topic is loaded, why does every one need to be Drake level? There’s a certain drive and willingness to change / embrace the hate or leverage it that not everyone has.
Wale is super successful, has classic projects or at least well loved. A lot of fans, like why isn’t that enough
I mean, who has reached Drake heights??
But to entrain the convo, I’ll say a few things. Drake had the Wayne co-sign, which was major. Drake could go full on rap or R&B. If you think Wale’s a better singer whatever, but he can’t make Drake singing records. I feel like Wale’s accent could’ve held him up a little. His look could’ve played a part. His attitude probably didn’t do him any favors…
That nigga just ain’t Drake lol. But I really fw Wale though
