    In my opinion Wale should be at the forefront with Kendrick & Cole cause dude can rap his ass off and is very talented. Somehow he hasnt managed to get there. Its like a high school basketball star who never reaches his potential once he gets to the A. The Album About Nothin was supposed to be a big album for him and it came and went.

    Yeah I bought album about nothing and it was aight

    Wale is in the same place Big Sean was before DSP and J.Cole before FHD. Like my brother in gods @IceBergTaylor said, it really is make or break for Wale. As much as I rip on Wale he is super talented and has the potential but I always felt his music structure was unorganized. Big Sean was determined to get over the loss of his girlfriend and grandmother, J.Cole wanted to speak for a time and generation that was reeling from social issues and growing pains. Wale needs an approach/direction IMO.

    I want to see him win and that's rich coming from me. I always felt he should leave MMG they just don't have the machine to push his music to platinum status like that but maybe he'll prove me wrong.
    Cole was in a great space before FHD but I get what you're saying

    Wale's album was better thanColes album that came out around the same time. He just dont have that same fan base it is what it is

    If it is his make or break, it's his 2nd one, I thought ambition was make or break n he made it by far, then started a really slow decline, this to me is making it back on track or breaking. Last couple albums were ok but not great imo

    To me he too focused on tryna make a song that's "in" or forcing wrestling references, hopefully that Cole song set him straight

    Bingo.... Kendrick is on the machine under the EUROmath shady umbrella so his fanbase is bigger... & Cole is half white & wale raps that blk soul so of course Cole's fanbase is bigger.....Wale is fine where he's @ on a blk label getting that blk dollar on the blk market gold #Shine

    Wale in the same boat Joe Budden was. It's a common thing to just say "wale whack" without even listening.

    It's crazy, I've actually seen ppl rocking to some of his songs m, but then turnaround and say he still whack

    seems like we trying to make this ? what he's not....i'm just gonna appreciate the music and not wonder why he's not out there like kendrick and j cole..I think his lat 2 albums were number 1...this ? isn't going to break him

    with that said he really doesn't have a hit single that's in rotation...usually he got a junt that hoes are loving

    i ? with running back but that fashion week ? kinda wack...and the momentum for PYT been played out...he would've been better off dropping that ? right now instead of last summer sense it was such a big deal to get that sample...I'm check for the album but he needs a single to pop at some point

    and to think wale is going platinum is crazy...? not on that level

    TAAN is not better than FHD.

    To b a plat rapper u have 2 have a big white fanbase & wale is not aiming for the Becky Marshall shady crackkka Trump crowd.......Wale don't have the machine euromath stamp & he's not half white so he's not doing kdot & j Cole numbers

    I really liked Attention Deficit, Ambition and most of his mixtapes but the rest of his studio albums have been underwhelming-forgettable

    Based off the track listing I dont have much desire to hear the album but I'll probably give it a listen at some point

    I thought Pharrell and Timbaland were suppose to play a big part on this album too?

    Wale was the 1st & only rapper to perform @ a president state of the union address Kendrick & Cole can't say that... Wale is doing better than he ever dreamed of on mmg after being a slave on the shady interscope​cotton picking slave plantation...... Interscope had wale tryna to appeal to the shady Trump crowd wit Lady Gaga & that ? ain't him he had 2 get wit a blk label 2 b successful & #Shine
