Wale has never been shy about his criticisms of the music game, or his intention to call Attention to our current Deficit of quality tunes, but it isn’t till now that fans have been privy to the Washington, D.C. rapper’s full mission statement. Recorded way back in 2007 and considered for placement as the intro to the emcee’s debut studio album, musical ‘manifesto’ The Meeting finds Wale laying it all on the table in front of an audience of industry suits. Nike Boots beatsmith Osinachi‘s unique instrumental ebbs and flows from synth ambiance to a chaotically dense, percussion-driven groove as the emcee illustrates just how big of an asset he’ll be to any label who picks him up. After asking the execs to choose between, “...an average n*gga with swagger and an ugly n*gga with skills,” he reveals that it was simply a rhetorical question – he’s got charisma and substance, not to mention he’s one-hundred percent real. For more hot tunes from the superstar rapper that this hungry up-and-comer grew to become, pick up a copy of Attention: Deficit, out now in stores and online.

They should have held onto this one for a few more years. It would have been great to hear this after Wale was 2-3 albums deep into his successful career.

Wale is growing on me fast, his album is the truth. Great flow on this here, and props to Wale for staying on his grind even after the album release. This epic beat was matched with his lyrics. Banger - easy decision.

IVE BEEN FOLLOWING WALE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. HES EASILY ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPERS AND PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SLEEP ON HIM. HES HUNGRY AND PUMPS OUT MUSIC LIKE WAYNE, EXCEPT THESE SONGS ARE QUALITY. NIKE BOOTS, STRINGS, MAMA TOLD ME, W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS. HES THE TRUTH.

At first, when he came with Chillin' I thought Wale was going to be another average rapper that might blow up but his success would be short lived. But damn, he is showing that he has what it takes to be the next superstar. I really like the fact that he brings quality songs with a message. That, in my opinion at least, is what separates the men from the boys.

This is the sort of track Wale's album was missing. This and Nike Boots should have made the cut.

It's been a long time coming for Olubowale Victor Folarin. But great music cannot be denied even if it takes a couple years to get recognized.
It is difficult for one to put to words the quality of Wale’s debut album, Attention: Deficit. Album is challenging. Not in the sense that it is unpleasant to listen to (in fact, the exact opposite is true), but it is challenging in an intellectual sense. The positive content and messages force the individual to dig deep inside themselves for a heavy dose of self-examination and reflection. As always, Wale manages to sound effortless while walking a lyrical tightrope - wielding his uniquely bouncy flow. Osinachi did his thing on the production side of this joint, providing a head-nodding backdrop. BANGER!!! |

This is the hottest true artist out rite now! It doesn't make sense that his album sales are high enough. Gucci Mane sells more than Wale????? Nonsense. Rookie of the Year in my opinion!

Even on here Wale is slept on; any other artist with a name that has a bit more weight in the game and this would be a 4.5-5. Just saying.

I don't like Wale's flow on here. Its so disjointed and there are times that he doesn't even rhyme. The lyrics mean something, but the delivery is ALL WRONG. I don't like the flow on here at all. The Production is pretty cool, but other than that, the delivery of this track makes it fall off for me. Execution is always the most important item on any checklist, and here it fails...

Loving the track. I actually like his delivery because it makes it more like his talking about it and not spitting it. It paints a picture better then him rhyming every word...There are no rules in hip-hop, above all, creativity is the most important and he got that here.
