’11 Best Mixtapes: #7 Wale The Eleven One Eleven Theory

Wednesday, January 11 2012 12:56 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Album Reviews, Blog

In celebration of a million Twitter followers and to further wet the public’s appetite for Ambition, Wale returned to his mixtape roots. The follow-up to RR’s personal fave More About Nothing, this collection reeks of Folarin’s new-found extra confidence and lyrical flair. Already knowing what he had in the stash, Ralph unleashed strong selections like the outstanding opener “Fuck You,” the Aretha Franklin-fueled “Lacefrontin” and the stand-out, D.C. bounce-based “Bait”. Whether showing love to the wide world of sports (“Barry Sanders”, “Varsity Blues”) or the sexy women (“Fairytales,” the Guy-inspired “Let’s Chill”), ‘Le makes all the right moves. Good theory. Good music.

    after More About Nothing, this felt real lack luster to me.
    I tried, but I could just not get into this tape…

    Can’t be that good never heard it

  3. Kemosabi says:

    It’s good

  4. Javier says:

    This mixtape was whack and you can tell it was rushed. More About Nothing was pure quality, even the marketing for it was great..for this mixtape the main promotion was #elevenoneeleven ..hm c’mon wale give us that 100 Miles and Running sequel.

    CC2 better be #1!!

  8. The Riddler says:

  10. whoadere boi says:

    you could tell these weren’t fresh tracks, these were like throwaway tracks they were still dope though, but definantly rushed.

    I really thought this mixtape was good. Might not be as good as his other mixtapes but I never understood the hate on it

  15. waloo says:

    I know they were probably left overs so im not gona be too judgemental..but thos wasnt too worthy of a high place on this list. Good promo for the album i guess…btw im a wale fan. But more importantly…a rap fan. Wale acts cocky on tracks. Like he’s the smartest motha to ever get on a track.
