Wale - Freedom of Speech
Artist: Wale
Producer: No Credit
Album: Florian
Label: Board Administration/MMG/Warner Bros.
For artists who, like Wale, have modified their subject matter to adapt to the major-label hustle, mixtapes provide a valuable opportunity to exercise true Freedom of Speech. Fresh off lending his guest bars toMMG labelmate Omarion‘s M.I.A., the D.C. rhymesayer does just that on the latest song release off his next street album. Confusingly-named beatsmith No Credit mans the boards on this reflective, yet upbeat jam, flipping a sample from Willie Hutch’s Brother’s Gonna Work It Out as Wale toasts Obama’s reelection, but expresses his doubt that the President will be willing or able to arrest the nation’s continuing racial and economic stratification in his second term. He sums it up best on the bridge: “Yeah, one nation under God / Politics about the guap, I hate to break your heart.” For Freedom of Speech and much more, check out Florian when it hits the ‘net December 24.

Pretty much anything wale puts out sounds great. The production had a very up eat and zealous feel to it and wale's wordplay and flow are always top notch material. The Obama inserts were nice additions to the track as well. Wale for president.

Beat is a bit chaotic for my taste, even though I'm feeling the chorus. Good track

"m feeling this track. It's beat is switched up and lively and it has a mix old school. The Obama speech excerpt was a nice touch as well. This doesn't even sound like Wale but I like it
