  1. TheTruth says:

    Dope artwork.

  2. Jay Peterman says:

    As a longtime Seinfeld fan I’m not looking forward to this at all.

    1. Billy Kincaid says:

      This is the 4th project he’s done based on the show. You didn’t like any of the other 3?

      1. Kenny Bania says:

        The first 1 or 2 were cool but he changed for the worst and it’s time to find a new concept…

        1. Billy Kincaid says:

          I think this will be the last, since Jerry’s featured on it.

          Then again, Jason Alexander’s still hot out there, so if he’s interested…

    2. Yamzz says:

      The real Mr Peterman!!!! Na I think this may be good though

  3. B.Thot says:

    Wale outsells big sean first week bet. Wale has a bigger female fan base than big sean and women buy more albums.

    1. HAAN says:

      wale selling 40 -60 k first week

      1. B.Thot says:

        Lmao those are g unit numbers. His last album sold 158k so be real. He ain’t falling of that bad with his core fan base

        1. haan says:

          u right. he might sell 20-30 k

          1. Starpoint feat Renee Diggs says:

            lol.

        2. Mylo says:

          Lmao 158k when MMG had a fresh budget. He not outselling ross fool lmao. Yall niggas crazy this album might push 65k if seinfield gets involve. I’m thinking 35 k at most…

  4. i see him moving a 100k first week if Seinfeld get involve with the promo..250k

  5. HOVITO says:

    This album will determine how wales career plays out

    Damn this is a crazy year for hip hop

  6. polopolo1 says:

    Ehh wale will do 200 at least, wouldn’t mind seeing this album go platinum

    1. Newman says:

      seeing as his last project didnt go gold and he has no single i think thats very far fetched

  7. Sina Mailer Daemon Djavadkhani says:

    Excited for this album!

  8. Greenbergs says:

    im really trying to understand what seinfeld actually sees in someone like wale…its interesting, he must be seeing something we dont see.

    1. Art Vandelay says:

      Jerry is a bored billionaire. Slumming it with rappers probably makes for some great comedy material.

      1. Greenbergs says:

        You right, never thought of it that way, prolly goes home to his friends with loads of material..

    2. Lord Splashchild says:

      As a successful writer/comedian, I’m sure he respects Wale’s creativity. He’s easily one of the best lyricists in the game.

      Game recognizes game.

      1. Greenbergs says:

        I just find it odd, seinfeld could have worked with any artist he wanted to..

  9. CASH says:

    Wale always brings lyrics, why yall worrying about numbers?

    1. Niggas love to hate Wale…it’s the “cool” thing to do.

      1. CASH says:

        And he one of the only consistent rappers in the last say 5 years, can the hating stop? We need a Wale in the game.

        1. Lord Splashchild says:

          The internet is plagued with people who WISH they could be doing what some of these artists are doing. But they’re not. So they’re mad salty. Ignorant hatred truly is the plague of this generation.

        2. Yamzz says:

          I think he just missing something. He can spit but I don’t think he has made any mark in the game. If he left the game wouldn’t be impacted at all

          1. BlacRose says:

            That don’t make sense tho, not everyone rapper will do that and if your basing that alone then U can say that about a lot of rappers. The truth is people just hate Wale but they know that boy could flow his ass off.

        3. Sina Mailer Daemon Djavadkhani says:

          amen!

      2. BlacRose says:

        I call it the Drake effect niggas hate Wale just to hate him.

      3. JP says:

        I don’t hate Wale. I just don’t think he makes great music. He is definitely a great lyricist, no doubt about that. And he can rap… but like someone said already, he’s missing something. I can’t figure out what it is. Maybe the beats are boring or maybe his voice, I don’t know. What I don’t find likable about him though is his whininess. He whines too much and doesn’t have a great attitude.

        1. mikey the greek! fk u bama's! says:

          HE WHINES TOO MUCH AND DOESN’T HAVE A GREAT ATTITUDE?! STFU YOU SOUND LIKE A WHINY BITCH SMH DO YOU KNOW WALE OH I FGOT YOU GREW UP WITH HIM SMH FK YO FEELINGS BAMA!!!

      4. Santigo says:

        I don’t think it’s that at all. I think the reality is, the guy has made 0 impact music. If you grew up on Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, G Rap, Nas, Biggie, Hov, etc..That was the “Bar” that was set. All of those guys made “impactful” music, songs, albums, etc…Realistically Wale’s albums & songs have mixtape impact. What does a Wale greatest hits album consist of?? Just keepin it real! The standards are much lower, so the MC’s aren’t that good anymore.

        1. Can’t argue with that. I was born in 86 so I know my history. I first heard Wale in 07 he was a breath of fresh air considering the music that was coming out then. But a lot of these gay niggas today simply hate on Wale cuz he has a dark skin complexion & an objective opinion…oh & it’s “trendy” don’t give these new niggas more credit than they deserve brody…these young niggas got all they momma’s mannerisms

    2. R. Wellington ® says:

      Says the nigga with the shirtless avi who has a crush on Wale.

      1. CASH says:

        Youre a clown lol

    3. BlacRose says:

      He will do his 150k and he will be just fine the music is all that matters.

    4. Damn Homie says:

      because THE BEAST by GUNIT only sold 9K FIRST WEEK LOL

      1. bcl187 says:

        YA with 6 tracks ……….

      2. GAYDAR says:

        it sold 17k you little bitch

  10. do says:

    dope cover !!! now Im waitin on the entire tracklist with feature and producter but the fist sngle the body sounds really wack to me

  11. el jim chapo guzman says:

    UGLY

  12. Kev says:

    Y’all being overly ambitious thinking this will do over 100k. He’s got no good radio singles out, no buzz at the moment, a nonexistent promotional run, the MMG brand is nowhere as big as it was for his last couple albums, who really cares about Seinfeld in 2015, he’s just not in any Hip hop discussions, etc. Expect some bars and poetry, but if he wanted this to sell he should have made that Chance song a video and thrown it out as a single for this album. Meek Mill will do much better this year.

    1. AKB says:

      A lot of niggas said this about the last 2 albums and they did over 100k – that nigga Wale has a vast dedicated fan – he’ll 100k easy

      1. Kev says:

        Last 2 albums had Lotus Flower Bomb and a Rihanna single tho. This one has nothing and is coming after a sequence of Ls MMG has picked up: Delays without reason, Stalley Debut, Meek in jail, Hood Billionaire, etc. Festivus was dope but I don’t think it gave him the buzz he needed.

  13. freakyboul says:

    i hope this got heat its supposed to be the mixtape x 12 not divided by

    I love that festival jew mixtape

    1. cmonhomiewemajor says:

      no rap features on this album

  14. Duane Mecca Johnson says:

    How do we get three variations of the album since we getting three different covers as if it’s gonna change the music!

  15. David Puddy says:

    “The album that sells nothing”

    1. carfaxplease says:

      he sold more then Ross did last time around lol…. actually he had a top 10 selling hip hop album…. hater

    2. Damn Homie lol says:

      what you talking about GUNIT THE BEAST? It only sold 9K COPIES the FIRST WEEK! Remember when 50 was making JOKES about FAT JOE NUMBERS?

        1. bcl187 says:

          Nah bro it’s when u take a break for too long and ppl get over u! Which is a wrong move..

      1. Guest says:

        I was just thinking about that the other day, remember when he said “I have 9 thousand friends I can call to buy my album”.

  16. 3rd Coast Playaz says:

    That girls on drugs song is hot I see homie doing 150k if big sean did what he did.

    1. Billy Kincaid says:

      I don’t think that’s gonna be on the album.

      1. 3rd Coast Playaz says:

        Hopefully it is

      2. Chase Smith says:

        How do you not see big as shit “The Girl on Drugs”

        1. Billy Kincaid says:

          This post just got updated with the tracklist. It wasn’t there before.

          Anyways, glad to see it made the cut.

  17. Dev says:

    Wale gonna bring the Heat with this one. The Gifted was HIGHLY underrated

  18. Drexler says:

    wale will forever be wack as hell, so expect this album to be terrible. Also he is disgracing Seinfeld

    1. LuckyP says:

      the fuck do you know macklemore junior?

      1. Drexler says:

        wtf macklemore junior? what are you talking about?

  19. BKs Finest says:

    RR GETTING READY FOR THE MMG PROMO RUN

  20. fig says:

    i am not a huge wale fan but i will give him one thing……
    dude CONSISTENTLY has the worst album artwork in the game LMAO

    1. Lord Splashchild says:

      LMAO this artwork is shit.

      Ambition and Gifted artwork was dope tho.

  21. Bryant Griner says:

    Whenever someone is important enough for you to click on a post, sign into your account, and type how wack they’re. There’s the same or greater amount of people willing to buy a ticket to the concert and or album…

    I’ve never been bored enough to comment on people or music I don’t like. But thats me. #moonz

  22. B.Thot says:

    D-M-V D-M-V D-M-V

  23. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Lol Rick Ross not on the album.

    1. mikey the greek! fk u bama's! says:

      OHH YOU CLOSET ROSS FAN LMAO FK YOUUUUU BAMAAAAAAAA!!!

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        negative.

  24. Cassius Burke says:

    no ross, a bonus.

  25. Mr. white says:

    I feel bad for Wale! Cause he really is nice, but the fans don’t really show him the same love as a Drake or j Cole

    1. R. Wellington ® says:

      They ain’t real fans they just download his music for free and tweet his fake love.

    2. Yamzz says:

      Drake makes hits so that’s why he is where he is but for JCole, he really stands for something and has a strong core base that relates so he can drop a album overnight and be good. I feel Wale can spit probably better than both but they don’t seem to stick or stand for anything. Just words put together nicely. He needs more than that though

  26. Pill_Cosby says:

    urbandailynewz.Com go check it out my webs!te

  27. blackbeltbreeze says:

    Really intelligent concept. I have no doubt he will pull it off. I’m just excited to see how he pulls it off. Wale is opening a whole other lane for himself as a writer through the relationships he has made through this project. Very smart man.

    1. GAYDAR says:

      How is copying Seinfeld an intelligent concept?

      1. blackbeltbreeze says:

        Because to me the premise of Seinfield is that people find joy, meaning, and identity through close reflection upon mundane details, brutal self analysis, loyalty to friends, and recognizing the absurdity of being overly committed to any one perspective. That seems to be concept rarely interpreted through hip hop music and culture. To do it effectively requires multiple talents of which competent writing is just one.

  28. Jackie Chiles says:

    Not feelin the Seinfeld themed shyt. But I guess its genius from a
    marketing perspective if your targeting middle aged, latte sippin,
    starbucks hangin, mandolin playin hipsters.

  29. Fuck Your Opinion says:

    Niggas hate real hard on Wale and i get why, but why is it so hard to forget that this nigga really has bars. About nothing and more about nothing were underground classics. So going of that ima take it this album will have more then songs for hoes to get ready to go to work.

    -Fuck Your Opinion

    1. blackbeltbreeze says:

      Hahaha. Damn. Bruh said Wale been making adult contemporary R&B music. Sheesh! The comment game is a cold game.

  30. The Incredible Creation says:

    no MMG features…! awesome… lol zZzZzZz http://toomanyfuckinrappers.tumblr.com/

  31. BlacRose says:

    Can’t Wait Wale is dope fuck anyone who don’t thing so. So K.Dot 03/23 and wale on 03/31 Yes Lawd

  32. drewsmit24 says:

    His “nothing” projects are his best so im excited to hear this. 14 nice mininal tracklist

  33. ZORINO says:

    He should’ve called it the ‘THE Album’, as everything song is titled The [fill in blanks].

    1. Kenny Bania says:

      yeah he stole that from seinfeld

      1. ZORINO says:

        that’s right. I personally don’t like the whole ‘THE’ idea. Hopefully he’ll deliver, still. I do like some of his old stuff.

  34. mikey the greek! fk u bama's! says:

    I KNOW YOU FKN BAMAS HATE ME BUT AT LEAST I SPEAK MY MIND..YOU FK BOIS ALWAYS COME WITH THE SAME TYPICAL SHIT..WALE=SOFT ,DRAKE =SENSITIVE ,KENDRICK =SUPER LYRICAL, RICK ROSS=FAKE,GUNIT=ABOUT TO BRING NY BACK…YOU FK BOIS HAVE NO MIND OF YOUR OWN NO FKN WAY EVERYBODY FEELS THE SAME WAY ON EVERY POST!! YOU FKN BAMAS ARE FOLLOWERS AND WHOEVER COMMENTS DIFFERENT IS LABELED HATERS OR TROLLS!! FK YOU LOBOTOMY ASS BAMAS!!! BUTT MIKEY ESCO DONT GIVE A FUCK!!! BITE THE CURB MOFOS!!!

    1. B.THOT says:

      Kendrick soft. He said he wouldn’t date a R&B chick because he would be worried she would cheat on him. I never even heard wale or drake say some soft shit like that on or off a record.

      1. Johnny Boy says:

        drake the softest nigga in Rap. nigga was on Degrassi for fucks sake.

    2. GAYDAR says:

      too long, didnt read

  35. Art Vandelay says:

    I bet Wale corny ass hired a stunt double to pretend to be Seinfeld for his cover,

  36. Dr. Tim Whatley says:

    How can anyone respect a 30 year old man who still watches WWE wrestling?

  37. Damn Homie LOL says:

    GUNIT THE BEAST sold 9K the FIRST WEEK!

    1. Tony Yayo's Yayo says:

      week aint over yet, I expect those numbers to reach 509k by dinner time.

      1. GUNOT says:

        came out LAST TUESDAY!

      2. ZORINO says:

        lol. Young Buck has enough money to buy 509k units himself.

  38. JamesTheNiggaHatingDolphin says:

    Looking for that Cole track though

  39. bottom side inc says:

    Might be a good album

  40. diggz says:

    I like that first one. Seinfeld is one of if not my fav tv show soo he better not fuk this one up! Lol

    1. Billy Kincaid says:

      I think that’s the main cover they’re going with. It’s gonna sell the most out of the three.

  41. CASH says:

    I like the 2nd and 3rd covers. Hope this project isn’t overshadowed by KDot’s project

  42. chrisduece1 says:

    60K First Week Waiting to happen…….

  43. Big Therm says:

    Im really hoping this shit is hot. With the string of good albums that have dropped this year, i’d like wale to just add to that pile( Even though i fell off of him for a min).

  44. ILL MUZAK says:

    KANYE – YEEZUS ALBUM – BESTS OF ALL TIME -THO
