TOPICS::: 1:26 Wale explains experiencing PTSD from the music industry 3:54 How a flight from Essence Fest led Wale to write the song "Sue Me" 6:28 How J. Cole inspired Wale's song "Semiautomatic" 8:59 How Wale and J. Cole stayed close despite exchanging bars on "False Prophets" and "Groundhog Day" 10:20 Wale says it's "disappointing" that he hasn't been able to reconcile with Kid Cudi 13:29 Why Wale wrote the song "Expectations" 18:00 Why Wale has so many bars about taxes on his album 'Wow... That's Crazy' 22:02 Wale discusses his song "Set You Free" and his own struggles with imposter syndrome
I feel it's because alot of hip hop is dumbed down for mainstream appeal. It's sad new generation doesn't look up to intelligent artists as they do the drugged out party animals.
Wale and Cudi need to reconcile man... they came up together and shared some real brother moments... not to mention they got some classic ass tracks together, a new collab would STILL be fire af
As a poet i really related to what he said about some lines going over people’s heads. I love those that really get it. But I don’t ever want to point it out. Attention sometimes is beautiful.
I peep wale, he really be feeling that if he rock with you yall friends but when those people act industry it makes him OD hurt. He prob would really rock with cudi
Touring around the world Making money off raps Feeding your family Living in wealth Imagine that It’s hard to see It takes a lot for a person to go through In order for them to be Seen differently By the public eye They’ve lived through their negative past life And they came up Kept working Made it through all the bad times Made it through all the sad times Then it came clear To them The plan For them By god Their friend The old life they lived they can never go back to that Now they’re touring around the world Feeding their people Living in well health Imagine that.
17:05 @ it seems that nooone getting it. But trust me, there are. Hehe. I always look for alternative meanings, i try lol. AND "Wonder if thats what he meant" meanwhile im a diff world n my ideas/interpretations dont even match the lyrics no mo 😂😂
The new album is actually a greta album. Not as good as THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING, but. It's great brother. You said in the album it's your last album.?!

I love wale, but you got me fucked up if you think being loaded rich and worrying ab whether or not you can sustain a disgustingly excessive amount of riches gives a person PTSD.
This man is on drugs and y’all can’t see it? Nobody’s gonna mention it? Unprofessional af coming in to talk about your album fucked up at this point in the game.

That Sue me joint is crazy..
Straight church
He didn't even give us a chance to ease into the album. Just slapped us on the first track.
Cliche and Debbie are my favorite joints on the album.
"They gonna love me for my ambition" 🙌

Attention deficit was fire too Rob
I thought Cudi & him squashed it when they made focused on ambition, no?
Yessuhhhh
Whale is such an underrated song talker
Touring around the world
Making money off raps
Feeding your family
Living in wealth
Imagine that
It’s hard to see
It takes a lot for a person to go through
In order for them to be
Seen differently
By the public eye
They’ve lived through their negative past life
And they came up
Kept working
Made it through all the bad times
Made it through all the sad times
Then it came clear
To them
The plan
For them
By god
Their friend
The old life they lived they can never go back to that
Now they’re touring around the world
Feeding their people
Living in well health
Imagine that.
