[FBoOgiE88112]

[olenja53]

Real Music.

[dirtybirdie45]

"sorry mr charlie wont chap dance and fuck the radio for tellin me to snap jam"

[jwils2122]

[qjsmith1]

I agree..

[lilant94012]

"i feel im a platter a phillips when i rapped" hahaha wale is so cleaver

[bryze54]

where did wiz khalifa mix in on this track, completely irrelevant, very at tht, big infliction btwn intellect and paraphanelia haha

[287k]

yo geekaleek and buk91 by any chance do you have the M Y tattoos on your ass???

[olenja53]

I Fuck Wid Wale Da Strong Way!!!

[dcdatdudeontherise]

sayin those sames and sayin they did better than wale is like water and oil....smh. wale songs are way more meaningful than rick ross's and/or birdman's

[jenghi21]

@dcdatdudeontherise hell yeah! come on, rick ross , really? he needs to go sit his corny ass down smh

[sequencexi]

He reminds me so much of Wiz Khalifa in this song

[Buk91]

Wayne has been writing his stuff. You should know that.

[geekaleek]

rick ross & birdman sounded better on this beat. true story

[claubend]

Birdman? :(

[Buk91]

Dre sampled Summer Madness, too. I thought Wale just took his beat and changed it.

[1d1i1]

Check out B this dude is amazing you can hear some of his music by searching doityourselfrecords in the youtube search bar

[classylady15]

best song on the album

[run4ymfl]

"hip hops unbalance is outta hand aint

have to see Saw im already scared." this dude is a problem.

[Sicckmaster]

That line is the complete and absolute truth. Wale is the truth.

[bluediamonds212]

great song one of the best on the album so far

[bryze54]

can someone fill me in on the line "my net is from jet setter to cabfares"?

[seanyj04]

his net worth is high.. thats what he's trying to say

[agye23]

@bryze54 it is a simple play on words about new york and new jersey...the new jersey nets to the new york jets to cabfares like cabs and he is talking about his far reach in the game

[cafelatte93tea]

this amerie beat i like both though

[kizzai]

@cafelatte93tea nah the amerie beat is a dre beat

[bryze54]

THE best song on the Album, I dnt care wat nobody says, " God giv me strength , Allah give me patience, I am only a man I dont know what to think

[wwesuperstar1234]

That's what I like about Wale, its harder to catch his word play because its not just similes or even metaphors, but when you do catch it its crazy. Freshman of the year.

[theprophet160]

who produced this track?

its on j-lives new mixtape, but i cant think of who produced this

[nanhuazhenren]

Best Kept Secret

[basketballmusician]

[dayday1080]

wale my fav rapper touchin a mic

Fab did a version to this 2.

"You lookin' like Kobe Bryant ya'll

It's lonely at the top so I waited, but ain't nobody take it

Now I'm playin' solitaire patient

Crucifix pieces, necklace with Jesus

See me as blasphemous for I don't need them

God give me strength, Allah give me patience

I am only a man and I don't know what to think"

[siragusa08]

I'm feeling chris childs, you looking like kobe bryants JAW...for those of you that don't know back when kobe was young chris childs of the knicks snuffed the shit out of him..just clarifying

[StillWitDat410]

@siragusa08 Thanks for clearing that up, I had no idea what that line meant to be honest lmao. I got everything else he said, but this bar I was like wtf? and i searched it up. I seen the thing about him getting snuffed, but I didn't know if that was what he meant for sure.

[bpatient843]

Go WALE Go don't stop it's some ole heads in the industry who could learn a thing or to from the youngin' I ain' naming names but they know who they are!

[TeflonInfamous20]

this beat is a cover from shit popped off by T.I.

[seanyj04]

@TeflonInfamous20 wale made it sound alot better

[MDGG44]

[SW4TR3PP1N]

[richhustle]

@SW4TR3PP1N true

[Takeover4]

"Sorry hiphop that it took me so long to get on/ But so long that i'm on it, it's on" grand opening.

[alc490]

da DMV is here man...da album ain sellin like it should but fuck it as long as niggas r listenin to my man...he makin sum gud muziq in a time where Hip Hop is dyin slowly

[kelsykill]

He is great. He kinda reminds me of Kanye but without the ego to ruin the lyrics. Alot of Wale's songs are about heartbreak...whatever hoe tried to mess him up got it right back in the face...fuel for his fire.

[ImmaHussuluh]

I like this beat better than Dre's/Amerie's. It's more... EPIC!

[gtoure]

yeah... more hip hop... more head knockin

[rofj09]

yeah this Album was tight az hell. From start to finish

Kudos to WALE!

[pgfromash]

4 real im bout 2 buy his album so he dont have 2 get a 9 too 5

[BillburtTheSmoker]

Wale is a beast.

[dayday1080]

thank you...someone had to say dat...dis album is great...shoulda got more shine

[conversesandchicken]

He sampled the beat, The Buchanans produced the beat for "Shit Poppin Off" By Dre & T.I.

[yasminejohnson13]

he sampled this from summer madness by kool and the gang.

[wantrealhiphopback09]

this is the same as ti song shit popped off but still good song

[rayraycano]

yea, but it's dre's beat, he also had it in his dr. pepper commercial

[MackenDaFlows]

wow, dude goes hard

[dballer360]

lil goog flair

[marcellvt]

The Begginings the same as Amerie's "More Than Love" song with Fabolous.

Wale's gettin recognition.

[QuashTroy]

nigga im a 100 miles far im feelin chris childs u lukin like kobe bryants jaw

[07goonboi]

wale is a beast but the beat sounds like dr. dre's shit popped off wit t.i.

[EggRoLLo2]

wale is a lyrical genius

[comptonny718]

real good album man, i was scared that it wud b jus another mixtape. believe it or not there is a difference, but wale did good kudos to that man

[xXSchEMeXx]

i jus like the intro

[TheSpecialistmusic]

wale went in on this joint good album

[kngdeuce]

how could anyone hate on this nigga?

[mrharmon100]

sorry people these days do recongnize real music lupe fiasco sold 81,000 copies his first week on his first album so he definitlely was'nt underrated don't get me wrong wale makes real music but it still has to sound good

[bboykapone]

yes his first album....true but now how much do you hear of lupe unless its a mixtape. some people give him the credibility that he deserves but most people these days sorry they can't accept good music so it seems. point is yes they get recognition, but not as much as they should in my opinion mainly because like what Lupe said they won't dumb it down. people will always be simple minded. Yes i understand it has to sound good but sometimes you have to look past the beat and listen to the lyrics

[mdmale80]

"hip hops unbalance has got out of hand/ aint have to seesaw i'm already scared" sick metaphor!

[KING2672]

double entendre

[MegaRicson]

i kno sic rite der didnt notice gud lookin out

[troy12rosan13]

wat dha fuq are yall tawkin bout dhis nigga can spit and is 1 of dha best... HATERS MAYNE

[mdmale80]

give the young boy time! DMV all day!

[bboykapone]

regardless if he didnt sell many records his first record people these days don't recognize music unless its a club hit or they talk bout drugs, sex, money, guns, and hoes. wale actually raps about real shit and relevant shit...... sucks he didn't sell more. however when people don't get what your saying because they are to simple minded to understand real hip hop and metaphors and lyrics thats what happens. Wale and Lupe 2 of the best underrated rappers in the game.

[Angrous]

as an artist myself i can most definitely co sign what your saying people don't give a fuck about what you're saying at least until you've given them a club hit about ho's or a "street song" about guns and cars and money lupe is underrated and seen as an okay rapper by simple minded individuals because they've only heard single and don't take the time to listen to the song they just wanna hear the chorus that's why rappers like gucci and flocka flourish right now

[boiboi05]

"we aint in it for the 0's or the commas but more or less the hope for dope niggas to prosper"..record sales dont make a rapper great..thas why wale is on his way

[thetruevideoz]

Can someone tell me the name of the original song from the 17 first seconds? Amerie used it too in her song, I love it! lISTENNIN TO WALES ALBUM NOW

[2813cobbcounty]

Oh Lord, this man album is awesome...Atlanta runs wit Wale...Scream to DC/ Maryland

[mrharmon100]

he only sold 28,000 his first week not to be mean but he's not dat good he alright doe

[Famuboy2007]

since when did we base a artists pure skill from sales? if thats the case, u r callin artists talib kweli, pharoahe monch, and mos def mediocre

[WhoKilledKenn]

Diggy(rev Runs Son) remixed his track.

He went off on it too.

[IzzyBabee15]

sounds like that amerie and fabolous song, but wale does it better. DMV!

[jazzmo3]

"they say that im that heir apparent to guide us, not DC this whole f**king genre"

Wale's dope. Im really happy that this album debuted at number 21 on the billboard charts. That's pretty good.

[Laura325]
