Dope.
TAAN Coming Soon!
Girls on Drugs is my shit.
YO DAVID, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!
The beat/sample are ok but lyrically that shit was kinda snooze-worthy
He used to do so much more with beats like these..he ruined the beat..just how did with vanity
NEW EP: TRACY CHAPMAN & A-TRAK ‘FESTIVUS’
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
DRINKING TOO MUCH HATE’ORADE IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
MAC DIESEL IS PUSSY-DEPRIVED!
you on his dick though. good enough
Dick riding ass bama smh
Jerry Seinfeld’s butler.
the intro and blood money had a spark of old wale..then he lost me. Sloppy to me..as much as he tries to bring it back to the good ol days his mmg screaming flow comes back into my ears..listen to Remake of a Remake then The War and listen to his growth..then listen to any one of these tracks and you’ll see he went backwards and to the left. Disappointed, was waiting on him to drop something to see if I’d go watch him on the tour but I rather spend 40$ on a bottle of ciroc and listen to his old shit.
It says ‘stream and download below’ but I don’t see any way to download it…

That might be a good thing..save your memory for foster the people or something more worthy
Stop posting your bandcamp link, no one cares about your music. Your not gonna get discovered posting links in comment sections, bruh.
Thirsty ass bama ur music sux
Stay off my comments you fuckin stalker!
I think it’s the other way around bama u stay jocking me fk boi…ur raps is horrible and u act like it’s my fault for letting u know. .stop with the links it’s sad dude
..actually pathetic. ..im gonna start honestly critiquing your songs 1 by 1 on here….
Tonight, The Deep End, & Keep It Moving are dope.
Track 1 ehh
Track 4 good beat/sample but boring lyrics
Track 5 sounds the most like old Wale but again the lyrics stink. No hate that’s an honest opinion
Track 6 I didn’t realize this beat didn’t suck until Pusha started rapping. First song I ran back so it’s not all bad but mostly cuz Pusha saves it
Track 7 Him and Soulo weave their verses together on some Lox shit. Good idea but again lyrically Wale gets outclassed, Soul said some slick shit. Not bad
Track 8 Not even a Chance fan but this sounds like a straight Chance song. I like the vibe but wouldn’t play this again
Track 9 Dope beat and decent metaphor/idea but poor execution lyrically & Wale gets lazy with some of the board game metaphors
Track 11 the first half was kind of weird, I almost liked it but I didn’t really like it. Spaceships has a very first album Kanye vibe which I liked but it was entirely too short
All the tracks I didn’t mention are complete trash, the ones above have at least one redeeming quality.
nigga you too busy over analyzing a damn tape to even enjoy the music lol – relax dawg
Exactly the shit just came out and he talkin all this bullshit, niggas needs to learn how to let shit vibe a little
Errrbody a music critic now. Posting mini reviews and shit.
So you a comment critic now? Quit cramping my cock
How absolutely homosexual of you gayboy.
How am I “over analyzing” I played the songs and gave my reaction. How am I not relaxed? lmao the shit weak
It’s easy to realize who’s the top dawgs/trendsetters in the game because you can see their influence musically on niggas projects. Girls on Drugs sounds like a Drake throwaway that emo singing over high hats or 808s is so Drake homie. Wale issue is he’s so concerned with public validation because he has confidence issues. Insecure nigga and on top of that he tends to rap lazy with corny metaphors and humor. Sounds really awkward and uncertain alot!! Tbt
Dude it’s a mixtape settle down ma nigga
lol
A quality artist puts out quality music though regardless of what it is. Since More About Nothing his mixtapes have been straight GARBAGE
*Kanye Shrug*
Your the problem right here. If we keep letting artists put out bullshit music and then we validate it, it gives them reason to keep putting out shitty music. Go listen to migos or some pop shit dude. later.. This mixtape is gayer than fucking guys.
Man stfu. Wale been making songs like Girls On Drugs…..”90210″ 2014 version
I hope you know 90210 had more depth than this shit though..all you gotta do is listen to the last line of 90210 and you won’t argue..story telling at its finest..true ex fans miss that Wale
Yea it had more depth but my comment was based on him saying he copied Drake. And I’ll be the first to tell you that wale was the shit, I don’t feel he lost it tho.
He said specifically the flow, and honestly I had the same knee jerk reaction when I heard it so I’ve got to agree. Wale starting to sound like the trendsetters
He never used the word flow nor did he specifically point out the flow.
You’re right, I took “emo singing” to mean flow though. His vocal presentation on the song sounds very Drake influenced, if you prefer that description
Dude girls on drugs is a continuation of the last lines in one of his previous songs “90210” but if u don’t like the guy don’t listen I don’t understand why Ya take the time to say how you didn’t enjoy his stuff . If you didn’t enjoy it the don’t listen, to each his own. I think the mixtape is great personally and girls on drugs is one of my favorites on the mixtape . Js
I haven’t heard it yet but I don’t see why he felt the need to “hold is fans over” if your shit as dope as you claim we will wait, not too long though, but we waited for cole and were waiting for kendrick and drake,
wale dope he should just put 100% of his energy into an album we can enjoy. Instead of wasting time finishing off throw aways
tapes flame idk what you people listening to. to each its own
exactly! walk is goat. if you like the FRANK OCEAN VIBES you should listen to http://www.soundcloud.com/love_at_first_sound/finewithoutyou
Lol you believe that? Like…whole heartedly? I be so grateful that cats like you don’t exist in my circle
I know man. My buddies found out about the wale tape about nothing all by themselves. They were like you have never heard of this guy? Why didn’t you tell us about him. Then he hasnt had a hot verse since no hands with waka and that wasn’t even any goo and im like dudes.. boring raps going off of tv shows he watched growing up because he has no creativity. He is like the Black Mac Miller/Chris Webby. The bars will impress you for a second. Then it is just nothing happening.
to each their own but this tape is free and I still don’t want it lol it’s that bad
Like he said if it’s fuck me its fuck you tooooooooo
I like the versatility son showed on this tape – can’t be mad at a artist for choosing to not sound the same all the time – it’s a good listen
I wonder if Wale just ran of normal people problems..this music has no depth to it.
out of*
U knew what he meant fag boy
He corrected himself, why are you so anxious to call strangers “fags” on the internet? Weirdo
this dope i cant want for taan album
This nigga mixtape always been mediocre get the fuck outta here
You and your friend mac DIESEL need some punany so badly.
word. lames
Yeah I need some pussy, why don’t you hook me up with your mom’s?
Mac DIESEL has agreed to swap his mom with yours.
FUCK YOU.
This was not a bad tape hopefully he comes with that fire for the album and it lives up to his “Nothing” series.
This might be his best body of work ! Love the live instrumentation and dreamy vibes ! Thank you Wale and A Trak !
I’m not even a Wale fan but I’m amazed a nigga could say that with a straight face when dude made the Mixtape about nothing
*checks in just to read the inevitable hate* lol
can’t please everyone
Mac DIESEL LIBRARY SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEEN RENEWED. NOW HE HAS INTERNET ACCESS AGAIN.
mac DIESEL IS PUSSY-DEPREIVED
Y’all so focused on this man being with mmg y’all descredit the shit and listen to it with half an ear only aiding your already biased opinion that he lost himself somehow, all his mixtapes got gems from 100 miles too nothing, back to feature, y’all be so sleep it ain’t funny, dude snapped on every track, one verse got more metaphors/ entundres than some of these dudes whole album, shit I’m not no wale “Stan” but if you think this garbage then exit stage left, cause you tone def homie, let a nigga live.
Dafuc are y’all listening to man, Wale got some joints on here tho!
LOL I’m just laughing at all these comments
pretty sure this is more than a EP -_- http://alltheparticulars.blogspot.com/
“An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more music than a single, but is usually too short to qualify as a full studio album or LP. The term EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) records and LP records,[1] but it is now applied to mid-length compact discs and music downloads as well. Ricardo Baca of The Denver Post said, “EPs—originally extended-play ‘single’ releases that are shorter than traditional albums—have long been popular with punk and indie bands.”[2] In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of length or four tracks (not counting alternative versions of featured songs, if present).[3][4]”
dope tho!! http://theincrediblecreation.wordpress.com/
Haven’t peeped. Might when I get a lil drunker. Wale boring as hell tho & it’s not cus I don’t like lyrics/productions. The shits just not appealing
The older I get the more I’m really starting to like Wales music. If you don’t think he’s nice, you’re crazy. The only real mistake he’s made is signing with MMG
Animal Ambition has now sold more units than Mastermind. MMG is officially done.
this is Wale’s best mixtape since more about nothing. really loving that track he got with ab-soul.
Jerry Seinfeld shouldnt endorse wale as he continues to embarrass the show with his terribly songs that use quotes from the show
I don’t really have patience for the internet back-n-fourth negative shit with folks, so I’ll just say this. Tape is nice. Been riding to it. Sounds nice on my JL Audio 12 WV62.
lol the hate is crazy. Niggas hate so much this is crazy lol. Like this is garbage? Lol yall lying to yall selves man
How’s it not garbage?? Please explain to me..compared to old wale work..find me a song like shades..or a feel good song like black and gold..or a break up song..this is full of throwaways
tbh the best part of this was the Chance verse lml fr tho some of the beats r nice, wale gotta switch up his flow tho
Artists will grow and change.. It’s stupid to expect the same version of someone 5 or 6 years later. . That’s boring. I expect growth in an artist or at least an attempt at it. You are either a fan or not. Move on, if you didn’t like ambition, legendary, love or hate thing, black heroes or bricks (just to name a few). We all loved Nike boots, the break up song, and 90210… but lets not live damn near a decade in the past. Appreciate the music and the work or turn on the radio.
