Wale Wednesday

Go ahead and add Brandon Jennings to the list. Gary Williams, you're fucking up.

Secondly, I know you're going to say "Atticus, you included this song in a previous post in your first blog... before getting shut down by Blogger"

...and I shall retort "I know, but today is a special occasion." Today marks the beginning of the John Wall Era in dc, and shall be celebrated by a basketball-centric song. As I previously stated when this track first came out, Wale created "Who Don't" for BJ to get pumped before games... a pregame anthem of sorts. If only Jennings was a Wizard.

Songs like this make me love Wale even more.

So... I just got around to checking out Fat Trel & Black Cobain's respective mixtapes and while they're not quite on Wale's level they still put out some fire. I think both were released during the summer, and I can't understand why neither one of them got any high profile play on the music blogs and/or hypemachine... fuck it. Dc needs a good blog for our music scene and I guess I'll fill the void (if I haven't already started).

Let me just say I've loved Freelance Whales' "Hannah" since I heard it last January, and guess what? Finally a hip-hop act sampled that infectious song.

Wale Wednesday Doubleheader

So here's two tracks... one new and the prior new-ish.

Wale's take on "Women Lie, Men Lie" has been bumping through my headphones/speakers for a few weeks now, in fact I had to go through my previous posts to see if I wrote about it yet... Rather surprised I hadn't yet.

Secondly. "The Problem". This served as the intro for More About Nothing, after all the deep spoken word jazz a beat drops. The hardest beat Wale has ever been on since "Uptown Roamers", and he goes hard. Mr. Folarin continues the straight up real talk, and the spoken word verses were simply a preface to the truth Wale decided get off his chest.
