Wale's antics early in his career gave him a label that he never shakes anytime in the future. Having listened to this album the spoken word poetry moments stand out as revelations into the man Wale is in 2015.With that said, the Pessimist is the perfect song for this entire era of killing black men. In a way this entire situation is hopeless.
Dude seems depressed that he's not in the top tier of MCs in his age range in this interview. Considering his content, apparent attitude, and record label he should be thankful he's made it this far. BE CLEAR: J. Cole is the superior MC to Wale. Wale is like a more popular Joe Budden going through a Mood Muzik phase on a major label dealing with social media reading comments but without the raw heartfelt emotion coming through on the records. I knew Joe Budden would make it through his phase. I'm not so sure Wale comes out of this the same way he went in and it's kind of scary to listen to.
