Meek Mill, Rick Ross, and Clemm Rishad combine on the opening three verses for a harder, faster form of rap music. Featuring Rick Ross and Meek Mill, the song provides a change of pace from the rest of the project. Between the melodic rhythm, Wale’s strong supporting rap verses, and the catchy hook by Jeremih, the song is by far one of the best on the album and one of Wale’s most popular songs to date.Īfter “On chill” comes “Routine”, the eighth song on the album. The video shows a world in which Black Supremacy reigns and Whites are inferior. It simply depicts America but in reverse in terms of White Supremacy. But his new music video takes it to a whole new level. The next strong candidate for song of the album was presented in the form of “On chill” featuring Jeremih. Wale has always been gifted in sending powerful messages to his listeners. The song was not bad but overall was not remarkable in my opinion. 6LACK performs much of the song, with Wale providing two verses in support. Following “Cliché” is “Expectations” featuring 6LACK. Wale displays a more conventional style of rap, culminating with an impressive featured verse from Boogie, making “Cliché” one of my favorite songs on the album. This album shows the growth of a lyricist who wants to be more than a broke backpacker. He is very capable at both, but for some reason this trait throws fans off, particularly those who like him as an underground lyricist. Immediately the third song became a favorite of mine, beginning with a slower melodic beat, and a very strong hook from featured artist Ari Lennox. Wale tries his best to walk the line between mainstream artist and undergound lyricist. The second track “Love and Loyalty” shows off a quick, R&B pace, displaying elements of Reggae, including the hook from Mannywellz. So I just try to let people know who I am through my music and my actions along the way.Wale offered a very lyrically strong performance, which I enjoyed greatly.” I try to be nice to people and I know my heart is good, but no matter what I do people are always gonna have something to say. That's all I ever cared about, the process of it and how it comes out. I'm just very passionate about the music. To Be Young, Gifted and Black by Nina Simone. I already knew about fake people, the weasels and all that shit. I’d warn him about the corniness of fame. You're three albums in if you could go back to mixtape Wale, what would you caution him about? But even in interviews and stuff nowadays he's more of a laid back non. I feel he might've been overlooked at some point or the ball might've been dropped somewhere early on. His pen is criminally underrated and is one of the best in the industry when it comes to wordplay, metaphors, delivery, etc. That's what you asked for you're not just gonna date Kim Kardashian and not have any white folks all on your ass all day. I feel like Wale never gets enough credit. Kim K could be dating a random nigga from Queens and that nigga would instantly be into the fire. It sucks and his life has changed but he brought that. You're dating the most photographed woman in history.
Will you try to make peace with your fame? When you look at 'Ye, who we're watching literally be driven or Eminem who's reclusive - They aren’t adjusting to fame.
