“I’m just danny granger, I’m working with a different pacer”, looks like that failed. Wale and Cole started off around the same time, ones driving 80 mph on the 405 though and Wale is still stuck in traffic on the 101 merger. He always followed the vision given to him by and then there’s the clown aspect to him.the other day he emailed his fan base telling them to troll someone who had fake retweeted him, like c’mon man, I’m younger than this dude and have 99.9% less money than him and I’d never see myself doing that even if I had a fan base. TAAN may be the most personal album Wale has released to date and is most important to his core fans, as it follows two mixtapes (mixtape about nothing & more about nothing) that were also centered around this theme. In the past, Wale has been criticized for switching up his style since joining the house that Rozay built, so he’s clearly made it a point here to prove he’s his own man.He changed too much and too fast. Wale’s fourth studio album, The Album About Nothing, serves as part 3 of Wale’s About Nothing music series. They only receive one shout-out, and it’s on “The Middle Finger.” Read into that how you want. Likewise, no one from his MMG team is present. The album has no guest verses, which may come as a surprise considering Wale's feature-heavy albums in the past.

Like the women described on “The Girls on Drugs,” Wale is also jaded, which feeds into his dark mood throughout the project.

Cole.Įlsewhere, Wale delivers his fed-up anthem of 2015 in “The Middle Finger,” which references his drug use-pills, weed, lean, ecstasy-as a remedy for dealing with the world as a successful black man now in his 30s. “Who am I to change perception?/If a nigga kill a nigga he's another statistic/If his skin's a little different they gon ' say it was self-defense.” The record is a gripping moment tied up perfectly with a passionate chorus from J. Wale's most compelling track on the album is “The Pessimist,” where he scatters out troubling storylines made in America, one of those being the fate of the black man. “Tell the purist that laugh I don't reach out for daps/Cause ‘No Hands’ triple platinum.” Shots fired. “Some love to see you blow, they don't want see you pop,” he raps over DJ Dahi’s booming backdrop. “The Helium Balloon” is a breakdown of the rapper’s bout with his volatile fanbase. The first half of the album starts out lyrically sharp as Wale tackles fickle fans and society’s ills, with Jerry’s metaphors and accompanying Seinfeld sound bites guiding the narrative. Consider The Album About Nothing a slice of life from the self-proclaimed Double M genius who dropped his first Seinfeld-inspired installment, The Mixtape About Nothing, in 2008. It’s a trait that, while physically and emotionally draining for the rapper, helped create his most personal project to date. He told this very publication as much while in the process of making his fourth studio album, The Album About Nothing, alongside his co-pilot Jerry Seinfeld. Most people block out the trivial bullshit. rapper, he spends more time than necessary dealing with online trolls, which only adds to whatever issues already plague his everyday life.
