The motivation behind Wale throwing in his lot with Maybach Music Group, and the much-discussed stylistic shift that accompanied his move, can be summed up in one word: Ambition. On the title track off his sophomore album, newly selected for promotion as a single/music video, the DMV heavyweight reflects on the effort he’s put in to come this far, and forecasts a future filled with big bucks and adulation. First to flow over T-Minus’ pensive synth production, MMG colleague Meek Mill reminisces about his days as a dope boy on the front, and label boss Ricky Rozay chronicles his own journey out the trap in an unusually down-to-earth middle 16. Mr. Folarin brings up the rear, offering his “well-wishes to the competition” before outlining precisely why he’s destined to leave them in the dust. How about it: are you, as Wale prophesizes on the chorus, “lovin’ [him] for his Ambition?” If so—and if you haven’t already copped the set—you’ll undoubtedly find more to appreciate on Wale’s second full-length, available in stores and online as of November 2011.

This is a great song to play in the morning when you get up, it works. The video is cool, nothing to special though.

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. I must have played this at least 50 times already and many times back to back. The production goes hard...Meek Mill went even harder...Ross was a Boss, and Wale represented. Classic...

Meek's verse was the best, Wale was a close second. Overall quality track and a definite standout off the album.

This sample is used so much better than 'She Will'. Instant classic, mostly due to Meek Mill's verse.
