No way man. Wale & K'naan represent something completelly different than those 2 record labels. You seriously think Wale & K'naan would sign to Wayne's label and ruin their careers? Wale is part of the new wave of MCs along with J Cole, Skyzoo, Fashawn, etc. that make music from their soul and try and bring hip hop back the essence of real hip hop.
@jose4891 Um...you know about Skyzoo and Fashawn? Hot damn, I thought they were still underground but some real talent is starting to rise to the surface of hip hop. Real hip hop for life man, good shit, keep representing
"I been on more red carpets then Ryan Seacrest" He's walked throught the blood before..I just caught that outta the million times I've heard dis..K'Naan is sick.
@GreatnessGordon sick is a slang term meaning "good/amazing" etc...but k'naan isplaying with words and he also means sick as in when your ill. so by sick he means"good" but hes relating it to the real meaning of sick by saying cough. lol its hard to explain
check out my brand new Wale -Human League Mashup, flows perfectly check it if u love wale or dont you want me baby, check it on my profile please thanks alot
K'Naan's out there now ehh.. yeah boyyyyeee... all's we need is K-Os to get on a track with Kanye and it's a wrap, we'll officially have our heayhittin Canadians doing their thing on an international scope =]

This album is utter trash and the biggest disappointment of 2009. Don't buy it, just download these songs: Mama Told Me, Mirrors, World Tour, 90210, Shades, Contemplate, Diary, Beautiful Bliss (ONLY for J.Cole's verse), and Center of Attention. Don't be like me and waste a perfectly good blank disc on this "album".
garbage ass songs like this were he spends the first verse dissing rappers who take leading acting roles in movie like its a bad or sellout thing to do. then spends the second verse just mumbling random dumb shit. Mycallwasanswered is right, I DID list half of the album and if the "bad" half of the album was songs that were just OK then I would call this album decent, but since the "bad" half are all songs with a 0 out 10 rating then that brings the over all value of the CD down to utter trash.
he isn't talking about them as actually acting in a movie listen to am i dreaming by wale and get a clue. your whole perspective about his album makes no sense AD is a above average CD
i already have "paint a picture" and i can see your point about acting but it doesn't change the fact that his rhymes are extra weak on this below avg CD. MY bottom line is that half of this CD is dope while the other half is some of the worst shit i've ever heard. This is coming from someone who enjoys all of wale's mixtapes and thinks "the mixtape about nothing" and "back to the features" are two of the best mixtapes of the past five years. i'm just so disappointed in the final outcome
You seriously didn't like the beats on this album? I find the soundtrack definitely one of it few saving graces. I can't get enough of 90210. Diary sounds like it came from an RPG, and I can't find the right words to describe Contemplate. Prescription is just 2 cool. If you've been a fan for a long time you should be use to the type of beats Wale raps to. My only problem with this album is his weak lyrics on more than half of the album. at least i got lupe's new mixtape to hold me over.
Yeah 9 but Beautiful Bliss dont count because J.Coles verse is the only thing worth listening 2 excluding the beat and the hook. I really named 8 but I am warming up to The Prescription so that make 9. The album is 16 tracks long with 9 fresh as hell and 7 of them the being some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard. 9 out of 16 is a terrible ratio. AGAIN let remind ya'll that I'm a huge fan of Wale and have and enjoy ALL of his mixtapes but I'm not a big enough fan to call this shit a good album
"wale's word play is so ill that most people think they know what he's saying but they really dont "
I truly feel you on that and his word play is the sole reason i'm such a fan of his and absolutely love "the mixtape about nothing" and "back to the feature". half of this album is the wordplay that i fell in love with or just serious lyrics while the other half is just nonsense or lame like: "i'm so fly i should drive in jets" or "i ball like arenas SWISH!"
@dabi09 Honestly Thank you for saying what you just have. It's sooooo true. If you listen to Beautiful Bliss, Wale has some lines that he says that really make you take a step back and really concentrate on what he really just said... Nothin against J.Cole though, he's an amazing rapper too.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS! I never would have heard that song if it weren't for you. Ironically, I read a review about this CD and the review made a comment how beautiful bliss sounds like a complete rip off of something that should be on a Lupe album.
If J. Cole is the only thing worth listen to on that cd then you have have poor ears and sensibility. Wale said about 3x as much about himself than J. Cole did in that song. Only thing your hatin on is Wale's relaxed flow. J.Cole = Punch lines and analogies, Wale = metaphor and similes
You have selective reading. I never said "...J. Cole is the only thing worth listen to on that cd...", I said he is the only thing worth listening to on that SONG. I dare you to pick a few lines from that song that weren't mumbled garbage and actually hot. And I swear, if another fool accuses me of "hating"...
J Cole'z flow was better then wale'z in that song... And i prefer J Cole over wale anyday... Listen to J Cole mixtapez.... those shitz is like classicz... you get a classic feel from em... Wale'z First Verse Here Is Hot... Buh ereonez said it...
Like I said before it's apples and oranges! In many cases I look for concent in my lyric.
Yes J.Cole had a killer flow with his punch lines but he clearly didnt say as much as Wale. I know J.Cole has talent when i first heard light's please I couldn't stop listen to that cut. But in beautiful bliss is more that J.Cole spoke the loudest but Wale that said the most.
J Cole is able to do things like T.I. ... A story teller flow type... Wale Is all over the place... But you right Wale did say a lot more... But i look for consistency too you cant name a rapper like wale better then J Cole when J Cole Kills everything.. Wale Had 2 versus in the song so of course he said more... he changed his topic..First: About becoming Rich.. Second: What he does to Beats+.. J Cole had one he stayed on track like we would expect if he went off track we wouldn't have liked it.
that dude is k'naan, and he is DEFINITELY not a wayne impersonater , and this guy goes hard, sure, he has had some bad songs but who doesnt? trust me, he is nothing like lil wayne, and he went super hard on this track,,,,,,,, just lettin you know, no offense
this is so ill! def a tribute to blackstar (mighty mos and talib) "Definition", cuz the tracks are layered almost identically esp the drum pattern! THIS IS HIP HOP shout out to Wale, Keepin it real
guess their just impersonators cause drinking= haaram weed= haraam ( because anything that affects your thinking negatively is haaram) and it matters what type of people, unless the people dont clean their knives while they are cutting cause the knive touched pork and you dont want the pork to be touching your food, cause then eating it would be haaram.... i know my stuff
It contains beef, pork, turkey, chicken, etc. It has numerous meats in it and parts of animals grinded up and into a paste which is put to rest and dry into what people eat today.
