I got my own money. I’m not a leech off of him. He gets me free tickets to Raptors games though. The Raptors tickets cost much more than an album. I was just at game 2 last round in Toronto against the Wizards. I’m gonna watch the rest of the games on my 80 inch flat screen though.
Wale Says Being Dark Skinned Hurt His Rap Career
- Thread starter keone
- Start date
Same here. But it doesn't or shouldn't apply to Hip Hop.
Man everyone got their own wave man he need to chill. Neegu said he made 5 mil in like 2012 or something. What moree dooo you want #TyreseVoice, who coincidently is another darkskin acting soft. Wale got timeless records he can perform for years man, stop chasing others shine, you so african now go perform over there and make real bags, Nigeria and other countries love rappers. I’m a wale fan and I remember when he complained DC didn’t embrace him then he got some mmg shine and now it’s this smh
Listen you old haemorrhoid liver spotted seven seas cod liver oil swallowing bitch. I said in RAP, it’s not an issue as a male artist. If you’re good you’re good. I never said the music industry as a whole had no colorism issues. Fucking idiot. Don’t partially quote me to suit your own agenda.
Not throwing shade or trying to derail the thread, but was it necessary to brag about what size and type of TV you got? You already won by saying Drake gets you Raptors tickets.
LOL @ that fat faggot still pretending Drake is his play cousin
What TV you got? Somebody with a lounge was looking to get a few 80 inches..which exactly 1 you got maybe I can recommended to my friend..link please
I ordered mines from here. I like Vizio TVs and was send to this site by a friend. It's a good quality TV so if your friend is interested in getting one I would recommend this TV.

Not bad.
Ok. Like i said, its a hard battle for him to win. And typically i agree that colorism isnt a big issue for male rap artists, but as it pertains to his sub-genre of rap and his core audience, he has a point. You're flat out wrong on the "if ya good ya good" piece tho.
The side view is nice. I watch a lot of hockey games on it mostly since Hockey is my favourite sport. I hate that my Maple Leafs got eliminated from the playoffs. That shit still pisses me off especially since I thought we had a legitimate shot to really contend this year.
Yea Toronto is happy about the raptors
But they will be happier with the maple .leaves
I'm going for the predators and my man pm saban
That was foul how Montreal did that bruh
Yeah that's true, the Maple Leafs are the most liked team in Toronto. It's also the most expensive NHL team, just like the Yankees are in MLB, the Knicks are in the NBA and the Cowboys are in the NFL.
Yeah as for PK Saban I agree the Canadiens did him wrong, I think it was more political than anything else. But actually the true Canadiens fans wanted him to stay. He still is loved in Montreal. People still wear his Montreal jersey there.
I think that Vegas team has surprised us all, a damn expansiom team winning all the games they have this year is amazing.
Right in his price range
He sings American music; the Americans have made him rich. What more does he want?
That is a lot more than many far much more talented Africans can say. The Americans
accepted him in their social circles. They tour with him, share with him, and this Nigerian
still whines? What sort of entitlement complex is that?

"Bad" will always be my shit
The older I get, the more relevant the song becomes

He just needed to make a hit...
and its HIS fault.
This man had a Gaga feature first up to bat
He got nobody to blame.
He had MAD CRAZY co signs and a HUGE budget
DC was loyal to him
HE had rick ross AND Seinfeld too...
He had a ESPN co sign
and Kendrick and Drake and J Cole ALL gave him props when he was on his grind
magazine covers and fashion shows too
He tried too HARD to cater to too many audiences...
and then he got REAL sensitive
and talking way too much on social media
going at journalists making ENEMIES of these so called music critics and blogs etc...
and burned bridges with artists like Kendrick
He SHOULD of embraced his African culture MORE too
cause this song?
should have been a WALE record.
And he should have BEEN made a full length go-go album
He is talented...do not get it twisted.
He just needed to go to Roc Nation and shut up and allow them to MANAGE him.

I keep hearing this cats name but who is he? What is his songs?
Do we know you?
Do we know you?
Joe Budden never "blew up" either Wale. Whats your excuse for him?... after all Budden is light skinned....
Quiet as kept, sometimes it happens in reverse. One of my boys is very light and majority of his family is dark.
Growing up he got treated like shit by alot of them
I agree, Wale is a good rapper but he doesnt have Star Quality.
As much as I cant stand Lil Uzi, he has a gimmick like the previous names you mentioned....He's known as the moist, demonic mumble rapper

First, I wanna say that colorism does exist in music no doubt. I will even go as far to say that mixed rappers are the new buffer class, before the industry goes full white, but in Wale's case alot of things are questionable.
I say that because you got cats like Ross...not only is he the same complexion as Wale, but was fat as fuck . Instead of complaining about what he was not, he took his weak points and made them his strong points, similar to what Biggie did back in the 90s. Hence the line "Big Black nigga in a icey watch".
When you exude true confidence and you are great at what you do, people will believe in you....no matter what you look like, they will believe in you. For example, MF Doom has been killing the game for years (in his genre of rap). Although he is not a mainstream celeb, he has a niche of followers that support him worldwide.
There are other variables too to take in consideration. We dont know what Drake, Kendrick and the rest of these cats are doing in those office meetings with those old white men, to get their budget money...ijs
Good points made.. especially bolded. But I will again draw a distinction between gangsta rappers and the sub genre Wale represents and caters to.
Wale has himself to blame. He can rap. He ain't got no voice though. I don't know what I'm getting with a Wale album
You can say the same for Kendrick too tho.
That's the thing he's a guy that you'd prob hear a few songs he made and be like OK cool.. But nothing that goes oh man I want to hear a whole album of.. And def nothing to make you go I want to buy his albulm
If he was from Arizona would you have listen or brought his album? You sound like you only support him cause he's a native to your area.. There's a diff between support/charity and actually a good enough product that people will buy it because its good.. You hear people like yeah I'll support that product cause they kno a person but if they didn't the product wouldn't be able to sell on its own without the connection to the person
Very good point.The rap industry has changed for the worse ever since Bill Clinton killed local/regional radio stations and made them all under the federal umbrella. This legislation alone stopped the DJ from playing the records they wanted to play. Prior to that if you had a nice song you got put on. It amazes me how rappers and consumers always overlook this
No secret i support hometown. But yes, i would have listened to alot of his stuff regardless of where he was from. I think hes a talented cat. And objectively, if anyone says he cant rap they have no credibility as far as im concerned. The nigga can flat out rap. And im not fully riding with him on this matter.. my point continues to be that there is some merit to his argument.
Yep. And he is absolutely on the same level talent wise as Cole and Drake. Kendrick is better than all those cats tho.

Listen? But would you have purchased?... There's a diff between hearing somebody music and actually buying it... Now if he wasn't hometown would you have purchased it? Better yet if he was from NYC would you had brought his music?
