Wale no longer wanted to be known as the selfish, egotistical rapper that everyone painted him out to be, which is what leads us to a newly-redefined Wale in 2019. Following the release of SHINE, he then began on a journey of finding himself, not only as an artist, but as an individual. Despite all the hate, Wale knew that he could not change his vision and his artistry just to appeal to people who weren’t fans of him to begin with. In the age of social media, it can be hard to come back from an album that flopped, or to come back from a perceived negative perception, so much so that a narrative can be painted about you and people will hold that against you for as long as they feel like.
“I’ve always wondered what would happen if I had a bad first week since the beginning of my career, and you know, I finally did and I’m just like you know what.I’m invincible now.” He stated that he can’t be a flop when he’s still selling out shows and having fans tell him how great the album was. During an interview on Everyday Struggle in 2017, he sat down with Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks to explain why he believed his album wasn’t a flop. After the release of his album SHINE, he began to receive a lot of negative reception about the performance of the album and its sales. Somewhere along the way, Wale’s momentum as a hip-hop heavy-hitter started to slow down. Mixtape About Nothing and More About Nothing were the early classics that would define his career going forward. His sophomore album, Ambition, is what introduced Wale to the masses, and The Album About Nothing really showcased his ability to make a high-quality concept album. And here we are with his sixth album, Wow…That’s Crazy, which is an accumulation of everything that people have been saying about him.Īll throughout his career, it seems as if Wale could never miss. Despite what people may have thought about Wale over the years, saying that he’s corny, that he fell off and got left behind, that his music is trash, etc., those things are what inspired him to keep going as an artist and continuing to put his music to the test. Cole, Wale is among the hip hop heavyweights and has had a strong and promising career. Coming out at the top of this decade alongside Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean & J. When it comes to Wale, he happens to be one of those artists who has always stood his ground on putting his best foot forward when releasing music. Other artists are not okay with that, only creating music with the pure intention of sticking with the people and standing tall on their integrity to keep producing their best work possible. There are some artists who are okay with this, releasing music and having fans tweet you two weeks later asking “yO wHeRes aNoThEr aLbUm?!”.
