TRACY CHAPMAN OPENS OBAMA’S STATE OF THE UNION
#DIVA
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Wale? Hold this L, Barack.
Should’ve never signed to MMG. He could’ve been a star in his own right. Much Like Curren$y, Nipsey Hussel, or Wiz… the MMG brand only worked for meek who also should’ve never signed…
Meh? Wale let celebrity get to his head. More emotional than a Dawson’s Creek episode!
I do appreciate his honesty though.
Well he signed to Interscope to be an artist in his own right but the label tried to make him a pop star (remember the Lady GaGa song lol). I definitely didn’t agree with the MMG move but he needed so type of career validation i guess. He could go indie now and florish!
Forgot all about the Gaga record. Mad Skillz told me once that “sometimes the game doesn’t love you like you love it, and that’s okay”
Wale and everybody signed to mmg are basically independent artists they have their own endorsement deals do their own tours and release music when they want and it gets promoted well I guarantee you he would tell you signing to mmg was the best move or decision hies ever made
Artists signed to MMG are far from ‘basically independent’ as you say, because MMG is not an independent label… it is an imprint owned by Warner Music Group, the third largest music corporation in the world. So not only does he have Ross as his boss, he has Ross’s bosses as his boss too. Not saying that it was a bad choice to sign to MMG, it probably was worth it in the short run but I think it’s time for him to move on. But regardless of wether it was a good choice he is still working for one of the biggest music conglomerates in the world, which is far from independent status.
Regardless of who he signs to, he’s the one that wrote his rhymes so he still carries the responsibility of whether his songs are dope or not.
His brand is still strong as hell. Has a lot of crossover with J. Cole fans. Also, him and Drake are the only two mainstream rappers who can make a good slow record.
Gold records and platinum hits massive success rozay gave that man a great platform to release great music and I’m pretty sure he gets paid every penny him and meek stfu
I missed the SOTU last night, but this is a HUGE look for Wale. Salute to him. Meek sitting back in Philly salty as fuck probably. At this point Wale dont even need MMG anymore.
meek is somewhere hating get ready to let out another twitter rant lol,
will there be another president that show respect to hiphop like Obama did ?
Wale is not hip hop, he is go-go.
Nobody cares about what you think? Take those multiple personalities somewhere else.
Just stop breh. Its no need to use other people’s names.
Dude opened for THE President… no ones opinion matters. Congrats Wale.
CALM DOWN!!!! IF HE WAS A WHITE PRESIDENT HE WOULDN’T BE NEAR THAT WHITE HOUSE!!!! LET’S KEEP SHIT IN PERSPECTIVE HERE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

In 2015 America’s Premier Presidential & Parental couple invite rap performer Olubowale “Wale” Victor Akintimehin to our White House to inspire young people about education.
Have the Obamas and their advisers ever listened to or read Olubowale “Wale” Victor Akintimehin raps in which he characterizes women as less than human *itches and *hores unworthy of respect?
Or Wale’s raps putting down people in his community, referring to his neighbors as nivvas and other rude, nasty, demeaning and hateful names?
Check out Wale’s art performance. Search: “Chun Li (feat. Nipsey Hu$$le) lyrics”
Perhaps I’m becoming old and cranky, or perhaps I am living among a growing number of people whose values and definition for peace, respect, common sense, and truthfulness radically differ from mine.
