Why ft Rihanna, she messed the song up

I just heard abt him. I was Googling Wale and his name came up.
Dnt ask me why I was googling wale

FL Gators:

loool interesting.

He does look fresh but he's iight, dunno about fine. He's my fave naija rapper though.

i dont even think they really did a song "together" but he just took a part from her song "Question Existing" and added it in there.
i guess he bought some rights or something.
the song is okay, and rihanna did kill it a little.
maybe he should have hooked up with someone else.

Yes o, I just heard about him. Lol cuz am/was more into African American rappers

Well, he's more or less African-American. I think he was born here but I like how he uses his name, Wale.

You probably just heard about him 'cause he's still new anyway. Heard about him last yr maybe but didn't know his songs till Nike boots early this yr.

I know, what got me was that he kept his name or I me and him wouldnt have been in love with each other.
Thatz my boo.

We cant say he's African, but, you know

Wale - Shades feat. Chrisette Michele

^{Long before I knew the significance of a comb
I roam like foam with no vocal reception
Immigrant parents had me feeling like a step-kid
And black Americans never did accept me
That's why I thrive so much winnin' respect, dig
I never fit in with them light skins
I thought the lighter they was, the better that they life is
So I resented them and they resented me
Cheated on light skin Dominique, we were 17
I figure I hurt her she'd evidently hurt me
And all women who have light features see
I never let a light broad hurt me
That's why I strike first and the first cut's deep
From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Boy you so beautiful
Boy you so beautiful
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate, toffee, pecan, licorice
Boy you so beautiful}

LOL by his voice, I knew he wasnt Nigerian based.
But he is Nigerian. . . .dude prolly doesnt care about his nationality.
I never heard heard of him down here. . . .he's really good, I wonder why he hasnt been played on the radio

FL Gators, so you've finally gotten around to creating a thread on this 'your' Wale guy? Anyhow sha, nothin' do you as long as he rocks your boat.


Enjoy!

I like Wale. I downloaded Mixtape about nothing a long time ago, thought it was okay.
Then I heard my nicca J. Cole was gonna be on his new album A, so I downloaded it, and skipped it all the way to 'Beautiful Bliss'. Sh!t. J. Cole destroyed that track. *phew*

Okay, my J. Cole stan-ness aside. . .

I liked A alot. Crazy album. Nice subject matter (Contemplate, 90210, Shades), feel good stuff (World Tour, Pretty Girls), and CRAZY beats (Mama Told Me). I thought TV in the Radio was stoopid. Along with that Pharrell track. And Mirrors too.

I'm not a big fan of Wale. I was after I heard Nike Boots and Critically acclaimed. Thought he was gonna be sick. But he's just decent, imo. His flow seems off sometimes, and I just don't feel he's all that. He's nice, I'll definitely bump A time to time, but it's because the beats were crazy but I just don't think he's special. He's nice though.

Yea, Beautiful Bliss is hawwwwt.

Yea, when I saw Wale, I thought he was going to be awful, but damnnnn. I have to say, he's better than most rapper. All real and shit, no autotune.
