“The Album About Nothing” is hands down Wale’s best work. What him and Jerry Seinfeld did with that album and the different episode clips and connecting them to the song topics was genius
Solid album ranking! Even tho I have Ambition at #1, The Album Nothing goes second & The Gifted goes third to me. Also I think Schoolboy Q deserves a album ranking 🔥🔥
Wale definitely one of the most underrated rapper of this era. Hes so unique that no other rapper can duplicate his flow or cadence. Truly one of a kind.
Also yes we need the classic mixtape classic album list Kid Cudi is the first name to come to mind because I’m from Cleveland. Would probably also say Drake, Game, 50 Cent, Jeezy.
I remember buying attention deficit… that’s the first LP I bought on Apple Music. Stayed up at midnight to buy the album from the computer. He had a crazy buzz back then! Yes we need a mixtape countdown from Wale!
Can we please get that Wale mixtape/EP list? I really thought Shine was the beginning of the end for him, but he's bounced back nicely. Wale is possibly the most underappreciated rapper of the last 20 years. Nike Boots still gets spins.
Ill say it again Wale's crooning songs come off so much more genuine and for the culture than when Drske does it. On top of that hes a spitter. But keave to followers to call him corny. So slept on
Classic album/mixtape contenders Lupe - Food & Liquor and Revenge of the Nerds Westside Gunn - FlyGod and HWH2 Cole - 2014 and FNL Joey (disputable maybe) - AABA and 1999 Wayne - C2/3 and take your pick lol Travis (mixtape is arguable) - Rodeo and Days Before Rodeo 50 - Get Rich and Guess Who's Back? Death Grips if you wanna count groups - Money Store and Exmilitary Kid Cudi - MOTM1 and Kid Named Cudi Chief Keef - Finally Rich and Back From the Dead If anybody else can think of any more I'm all ears. I wanted to throw in Noname for Room 25 and Telefone, but that might just be a personal thing.
Ambition and The Gifted are interchangeable for me but other than that, this ranking was accurate 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I always thought Wale has had a solid catalog for the most part but yes I can definitely do without that SHINE album lol
Wale is one of the many semi victims of the Datpiff era. Sorry but The Mixtape About Nothing is the best thing he ever did and its hard to overcome your best material being a free tape.
At 5:05, YES.... that is 100% DC shit. The go-go feel and influence is all over it. And that's actually sumwhat of a classic Go-go beat with a few tweaks. For most DC natives, that shit cranks. But I can see how sum1 who's ear is untrained to Go-Go wouldn't like it.
That r&b jeremih really do need to make a comeback in order put out some new music or something No one havent even mentioned about him at all period His biggest singles was birthday sex Dont tell em Down on me Love don't change and planez Off 2009 debut album jeremih His fourth studio album's first single is called changes Been released in october 2022 after a long break from recording Then January 2023,he even released sped up and slowed down versions of the song Plus he even appeared on lil baby album it's only me came out year 2022 Was a song entitled stop playin On hot 97 The article says r&b singer jeremih was on 7 year hiatus after battling with COVID ,finding love + New Music
i love attention deficit but i dont think its better then folarin 2 plus adding gucci mane to pretty girls was eh i damn near think folarin 2 was better than gifted unnecessary songs with yo gotti(bricks) and clappers feat nicki minaj(songs like big sean dance(a$$) with nicki) dope list but folarin 2 most def shouldve been top 3
Ambition has to be #1
I agreee!!!
Agreed
Fuck no The Album about Nothing or The Gifted should be number 1 respectfully saying
@@jwood8769 I have no issue with that as I love both of those albums as well.
Took my heart away from money ain't interested in fame 💯
“The Album About Nothing” is hands down Wale’s best work. What him and Jerry Seinfeld did with that album and the different episode clips and connecting them to the song topics was genius
Idk man The Gifted has it beat on my opinion
Finally, a list I agree with 100%. Wale is in my top 10 and was the best AND most versatile artist signed to MMG.
Ambition had banging features🔥🔥🔥🔥
Solid List As Always Ambition Number 1. Wale He Is One of My Favorite Rappers💯👍
“The Album About Nothing” definitely his best album
“More about nothing” favorite mixtape
That Balloon track is bonkers
Wale in the early 2010s went 3/3 with his albums
Solid album ranking! Even tho I have Ambition at #1, The Album Nothing goes second & The Gifted goes third to me.
Also I think Schoolboy Q deserves a album ranking 🔥🔥
Wale definitely one of the most underrated rapper of this era. Hes so unique that no other rapper can duplicate his flow or cadence. Truly one of a kind.
Either “Ambition” or “The Gifted” top 2 🔥🔥🔥
Also yes we need the classic mixtape classic album list
Kid Cudi is the first name to come to mind because I’m from Cleveland. Would probably also say Drake, Game, 50 Cent, Jeezy.
I remember buying attention deficit… that’s the first LP I bought on Apple Music. Stayed up at midnight to buy the album from the computer. He had a crazy buzz back then! Yes we need a mixtape countdown from Wale!
That Q-Tip sample track Poke It Up was a banger.
Can we please get that Wale mixtape/EP list?
I really thought Shine was the beginning of the end for him, but he's bounced back nicely. Wale is possibly the most underappreciated rapper of the last 20 years. Nike Boots still gets spins.
Glad to hear Folarin II got some love lol, I actually liked that album as a follow up from the previous 2 when he dropped it
Ill say it again Wale's crooning songs come off so much more genuine and for the culture than when Drske does it. On top of that hes a spitter. But keave to followers to call him corny. So slept on
I know Nate Dogg doesn't have enough albums to do a ranking, so instead can you do a top ten best Nate Dogg hooks.
Classic album/mixtape contenders
Lupe - Food & Liquor and Revenge of the Nerds
Westside Gunn - FlyGod and HWH2
Cole - 2014 and FNL
Joey (disputable maybe) - AABA and 1999
Wayne - C2/3 and take your pick lol
Travis (mixtape is arguable) - Rodeo and Days Before Rodeo
50 - Get Rich and Guess Who's Back?

You gotta review his EP catalog!
Hey Culturalist Theory do Mack 10 Discography Albums next.
Ambition is Wale Best album
Hands Down
Back to the feature is the greatest mixtape imo.
Album about nothing for sure! Still go back to listen to it!
Wale is one of the many semi victims of the Datpiff era. Sorry but The Mixtape About Nothing is the best thing he ever did and its hard to overcome your best material being a free tape.
Nice list. And a list of classic album/classic mixtapes would be nice
AD has classics Songs but It Sounds like 09 & Good Memories Of My HS Days
Gifted was my favorite one
Wake Summer on Sunset might be his best tape
Lil Wayne NEEDS to be on the EP/Album review
I still love sabotage
I vote for Ambition then Gifted for the top!
At 5:05, YES.... that is 100% DC shit. The go-go feel and influence is all over it. And that's actually sumwhat of a classic Go-go beat with a few tweaks. For most DC natives, that shit cranks. But I can see how sum1 who's ear is untrained to Go-Go wouldn't like it.
Ambition is better than The Gifted
Yeah White Linen goes crazy on Ambition. Number 2 and 1 are not better than Ambition.
Jump In is a GO-Go song. U wont understand it if you're not from DC
That r&b jeremih really do need to make a comeback in order put out some new music or something
