soundcloud.com/lundenivory/my-real-ones
Lmao atleast he man up and spoke about it ill give him credit but gawd damm this guys getting alot of Ls
Wale so extra he makes Joe look normal 🤔🤣
Shardesia Washington He gotta be careful not to hurt Wale's feelings
Shardesia Washington HAHAHAH
This is a top tier comment lol
He's a poet, he gotta be extra. Lol
"Wale Breaks Down His Album Sales and Defines What It Means to Be a Called a Cornball | Everyday Struggle"
LOL
SupremeScuf 😂😂
SupremeScuf "A cornball" LMFAOOO come on now 😭
AG Bankrolls you know you're not taken serious when addressed as a cornball
Sodosopa he ain't trash. You probably be bumping lil pump.
I can tell wale brang a sad vibe in that office. Joe woulda been loosin his shit.. but he calm instead cuz he don't wanna make em cry
Lil Tunechi the GOAT
Wale brought*
Lil Tunechi tf is brang? You mean he brought? Elementary ass nigga. L
free smoke yous a nerd spell checking bloggers is a sign of insecurity and weakness act like a man! u more puss than wale
Fernando Alonso shut up
Wale got bars, but I am not feeling how he trying to convert people to his vision. Let the music speak for itself
Godfrey Winston Right
amen
Godfrey Winston agreed. He just hasn't found his image. He lacks identity. People like Kendrick and lupe fiasco have identities.
Amen to that. He keeps chasing instead of letting people come.
True.
Exactly what J Cole was talking about...
JonathanIsrael708 lol
JonathanIsrael708 Fr lol, Wale is so salty
honestly I thought that J. cole was takking about kanye 😂😂😂
Papaya talking* #Ihatemakingtypos but he might have been, but for the most part of the song I thought that he was talking about kanye.
He was talking about both Kanye and Wale
This interview only proved J cole's point...
what j cole say?
wavegamecrazy listen to False prophets by j cole that whole 2nd verse is about wale
Juan C. Aguilar how do you not know it's about wale
Brueklen Gypsy j Cole himself said it.
lmfaooo damn
The difference between Wale and artists like Kendrick and Cole is that you never hear Kendrick and Cole getting emotionally charged up like this when people don't understand their songs.
Alex Mathew Mendoza They don't care about being cool. That's what makes them special. Wale probably takes hours to get dressed.
Alex Mathew Mendoza they do. Y’all just don’t hear about it
lol the difference is they are in another league in terms of quality of music, emotional intelligence and business acumen.
rob nah just business acumen
Wale is too fucking emotional for this business.
Quinton Jackson facts 😩
Quinton Jackson Dont blame him, his been in the game for a long time then his project does shitty, put yourself in his shoes bro.
Quinton Jackson Whoa, dude. what the fuck is wrong with you? You don't know Tupac then. smfh
Yabby Pac got shot, he has a reason to be emotional, Wale albums just flop.
Wale is a different kind of emotional. Like the type that cries and tells his mom when somebody says something bad about him. And Tupac was passionate, not emotional.
"Ain't nobody say u till this joint" nigga he been streaming and showing he face for how long?
Wale stop worrying about what ppl think so much. Just paint bro!
Lenny Mayes Music Bruh these stupid motherfuckers forced him to care. They gonna miss Wale when he's gone.
Yabby Gideon no we not
Yabby Gideon personally I think wale is dope! Every since more about nothin mixtape some years back.. and also I agree with him in the fact that he gets a bad rap in the public eye, but as an artist he has to stay more focused on the ppl who DO appreciate his music and say 🖕🏾the rest
mrshootemdown I'm from d.c. and I don't listen to him anymore
damn "just paint", from one artist to another, it's dope lil note to self slogan lol.
wale glasses are not dirty....they are foggy cause of the tears underneath lol
Doelow Da Pilotman 😂😂, day one chat nigga 🦂🦂 trying start wave 🌊 Peep the TH-cam channel 📱
Wale you can't force people you fuck with you if they don't... you have talent but you just don't connect with the people and these interviews make it even worse
Antwan Frazier actually the interview was a good thing. Wale is fucking SLEPT ON. PERIOD.
Rudy Figueroa realist comment I seen . It's a lot fuck 💩 said on here from these fucks ass niggas fr
Antwan Frazier All truth.
Antwan Frazier like he's actually reading this😂😂😂👎
Antwan Frazier he has lyrics and good song concepts. but his voice is not good. his delivery sounds forced, and he's not a likable guy character wise.
Nigga you damn right NO ONE KNOWS WHEN U DROP SHIT! You have to master the art of making things catchy and deep, you have to know how to promote, you HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO APPEAL TO THE MASSES AS WELL AS PLEASING UR FANS unless you can do that Wale will NEVER BE the level he THINKS HE deserves to be
T-Dub Kendrick executes this perfectly
markeezy Kendrick can do it but TPAB wasn't a good mix of those things and still sold well. I think Wale isn't as thought provoking as the language he use leads you to believe, he's just a hypebeast/backpack rapper.
T-Dub crazy thing is his antics are losing his fans but he is all depressed and in his feeling he can't see that
T-Dub that's why burden can relate to him. They both are great lyricist but horrible at marketing themselves and being entertainers so they will always have to move in the shadows of hip hop while drake/Kendrick/Cole are the rock stars
Bro you right
Wale the type of Nigga to hang out At his old High School after class, when he already graduated
Wale, the problem that you bring up isn't our fault. Joe Budden said himself on another episode, "Great music has legs." The fact of the matter is; even if you are writing amazing bars, Kendrick and Cole, Etc. know how to deliver it in a way that makes people understand, it moves people. Thats an ability they developed. I gave the same 1 length play-through of DAMN. as I did SHINE. I'm giving them the same playtime, the difference is Kendrick can complete something to the point that his artistry allows his work to stick with me. You haven't developed that. Kendrick doesn't have to explain his bars, you just sat there and did it for ten minutes. Art should speak for itself. It should last. That's where your complaint is flawed.
Isaac Ashmore this is the comment I hope wale ends up reading more than any of these other comments. Well said real shit.
I think that wale is an amazing artist but he pays to much attention to what others say...He needs to tune out the opinions and just go in the booth and spit that fire...albums sales don't matter but the quality of the music does matter keep cranking out the quality and some one will like it may be even love it.
As a artist for many years I must say your point is so valid it hurts lol art needs longevity
lol i feel what you sayin but again . wale is wale for that reason and i think he knows that. you have to have more of an advanced rap brain to decypher his lyricsin one listen like most, so it takes more than a couple listens . like a kendrick or drake song. he doesnt want to be the same but its also sour that the people that put more effort into the art are not recognized as much. wale aint learning shit from anyones comments here hahahaha
Gabriel Timmis Wale never made anything close to To Pimp a Butterfly for what reason then? He is not as complex as you make him seem
Don't you ever look at a comment and think to yourself "Damn I wish I commented that"
Ali no but I look at comments and say.... " this comment is stolen"
yeah, "pun intended"
wow wale, you used a drug in the place of a woman in a song..so original.
New Path that's true. The bars are good though.
Yeah totally, definitetly never heard anything like that before. This mans a true genius.
Search up 'Nines-Yay'
New Path lmaooo y'all so shady
Can't feel my face 😭😂😂😂
Wale stans/fanbase will be referred to as children of the corn 🌽 from now on
Gonzo Krush lmao
Gonzo Krush HAHAHA!
He has stans??
LouieV6 maybe 3....
Gonzo Krush Lmao this is so random & funny hahahaha
DJ AK has more subs them complex and wale taking about 10 - 15 people
He made salty
Lionel Lynch His fans are 15-16 year old kids who think havin hoes make you a "real nigga" and make "akademiks the type to (fill in blank)" comments over every single video. Lames attract lames
Lionel Lynch akademiks the type of nigga to outSHINE wale
+Tre Anderson shut yo food stamp ass up nigga
Only Wale's forehead goin a long way up tho
Veselin Nachev and his hairline
Lmao akademiks gonna get the wrong rapper up there n get jumped
I found it cringe when wale went acapella 😂😂😂😂
Why?
At the end he throwing shots at nigga further alienating potential fans because of their opinions 😂😂😂 this nigga Wale ain't never going no where and it's sad because I like his music when I hear it
T-Dub Rite, he dont get the fact that ppl got turned off by his arrogance and the more he does shit like get mad for not getting the respect he thinks he deserve the more ppl will downplay his talent. Like Kendrick said bitch be HUMBLE
Wale aint deep and him breaking down the lines in "cc white" proved that he thinks that simple shit is way too complex for the average listener, he always thinks he is too smart for everybody and it makes it hard to give him a chance. Kendrick doesn't do interviews telling people that noboody gives him the respect he deserves if he did I think he would get that same corny nigga stamp that Wale gets. If we all gave Wale the attention he is craving he would be more arrogant than he already is, and knowing that about him I think it makes people wanna pick him apart and not give him credit for his music. He just need to stop being so pretentious and just make music, stop trying to be fake intellectual when you talking about women and work on some of them rhyme schemes becuz he always has a couple loose bars that dnt rhyme with shit and dnt necessarily add any content either.
See you and wale got the same problem you want others to not have success because your guy aint winning. Kendrick and Cole are better rappers than Wale there aint no question bout that only opinion of style of music. J.cole picked im apart with bars in False Prophets without saying his name but still everbody knew who he was talking bout. KRIT just needs to be a producer even though i do like his music he's no persona. Lupe didnt like the industry enough to become a big artist at one point he was supposed to "retire" so that explains why mainstream hip-hop stop fucking with him. Wale gets ok promotion I think he has the worst team and he picks bad 1st singles (chillin,the matrimony,running back, LoveHate thing.) that don't give a good idea of the sound or content in the album. At the end of the day people feel the way they feel and you can't make them like you because you are just as good as (fill in the blank) you have to add something different to music and standout and Wale just blends in with everything.
Look, I got music aint nobody fucking with but atleast Wale does. Everybody not made to be on top he has a role people know about his music if they choose not to do so then he needs to find out how to reach those who don't like his music. MY problem, is Wale really not that nice I can come up with better lines about female reference for cocaine but you aint fighting for me or anybody else that wish to just be close to wale level. I mean whats wrong with where he's at in his career? He has atleast one hit single everytime he drops a new project but he don't care about his success cause he sees Drake, Kendrick, Cole and now Big Sean as having more than he has.
Wale is salty akademiks was tryna defend him on his stream
I keep trying to clean Wale's glasses everytime they do a close-up😂
wale in his feelings 😭😂😂
"I don't really throw shit in people's faces." "You just put your whole leg up to show us your Michigan 5's." 😂😂😂
you should never have 2 explain your lyrics to your audience.
but rappers explain them on genius
@@bakangchipaze6695 no people do...
@@sagemode6 rapers do
@@arnoldmumba2308 oh no! Not rapers!
His whole vibe is just salty and corny. Go back to a 9-5 or something bro.
OfficialEnzoMusic you a bitch if you're an artist, & you're talking down on Wale. A quality not garbage artist in 2017. YOU'RE corny. Get the fuck back
So that's an excuse to take it out on these people? Rule number 1 as an Artist is to learn how to take criticism and not be overly sensitive. I understand he wants more recognition for the amount work he puts in, but behavior like this is not the answer. If they don't fuck with you already, why make it worse?
OfficialEnzoMusic L
@@DonnnationTV Lmao you and this nigga ryan matson mad corny, gtfo
If you make better music you dont have to ask people to sit down and listen to an album.
Lovin this webisode series Complex! Joe Budden and Akademiks going back and forth is just too good!
Wale just needs to get hungry again.
ragii He been hungry
ragii this dude so hungry he probably starving by now
Wale is Nigerian man on all levels...so fricking emotional GOSH!!!
Lmao ong
1:32 Damn so hard to put the phone in them skinny jeans pockets... lmfao
D-One lol don't kill me
Joe budden lyrical but that shit didn't take his carer nowhere
A AA cause Joe is one note. He sounds the same on everything
He just can't make a damn good album to save his life.
This episode was so weird...
Wale is actually as boring as his music.
preach
I SELL NUDES YESSSS!!!
*50 Cent already made a song about cocaine from the perspective of a woman. That ain't no original idea. smh*
Broccoli Rob 96 he hinted to that already
What track
Yeah he acted like he invented rapping from a different perspective lol
I need the FULL interview, ASAP!
CC White isn't even that deep.....
You just showed your mental capacity🤦
@@travisblair3189 its not tho.
Wale is on the wrong label, simple
Daniel Sappore no his music just isn't appealing no matter how lyrical it is
Knicks 4 Life I mean, that too
Daniel Sappore if wale was on any other label he would have gotten dropped faster because his numbers shit
100 percent correct....
TruMusic89 Ion know Ross pretty fair dude, he pushed Ambition album pretty Hard. But you right Meek a bigger artist
LOOOOL This guy said "you not gon be selling merch up there in northern Virginia" You don't speak for us lmao.
I bet Akademiks can drop an album more exciting than Shine.
The NUDES I'll listen to a akademiks freestyle over wale lol I've never heard anybody bumping his music
Fool everybody gon' miss Wale when he's gone
The NUDES And he said his audience doesn't go outside 😂.
Nah, DMV fucks with him hard.
I SELL NUDES shine is great album, I bet you didn't listen to it properly?
I feel wales pain, nigga puts in hard work in his music but no one bothers to listen carefully on what's his lyrics are truly saying ! Most underrated Rapper 💯
Exactly👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🐃BULLSHIT🐂💩
I came here for Nedeska ❤
James Lil Wayne's the goat James hawkins haha
Female Andre 3000
Wale is a lyrical genius , he writes poetry and puts his heart in almost everything he writes . If it was me , I would be a little hurt if people didn't understand/appreciate the art I'm so intricately put together .
I hate when I be scrolling down and someone steals the comment I just bouta type in lol
The whole interview Wale is saying "people don't understand my greatness"
AKADEMIKS GET ATE UP EVERY EPISODE & DAS Y I LOVE THIS SHOW
bahaha
Wale was cool when he wasnt aiming for celebration. He cares too much about the perception. Let your music speak for itself.
Just because your song is deep, it doesn't automatically means it's a good song
The reason Wale is not as successful as he was in the past is because he doesn't make fast food music.
Big Facts 💯everybody that's saying that he is corny has a level of real millennial ignorance.
Travis Blair I think people confuse his passion as crying and nobody likes a crybaby
Rap has always been Fast Food music..tbh. That's basically what it is.
@@brotherLee340 what? Elaborate...
@@jetplanevalentine3791 ..Compared to most music. Rap is not that conplex. . Poetry over beats.
Wale stay with a million reasons why his shit ain't popin Wale needs to stop and just admit he's dropping wack shit
Arcanethesis 😂😂😂
Arcanethesis L
Cap 🧢 he shit been fire bro
Shows sell out in minutes, I wouldn't be bragging about selling out in 6 hrs
8:53 - 8:56 the face nedeska makes is the face I make when wale or Joe speaks
Akademiks pulling more numbers then both of them
What happen to the full interview?
Joe took it as part of his severance package
Wale's biggest impediment continues to be his delivery. Half the lyrics are lost to a flailing, fluctuating cadence. No one appreciates lyrics that aren't clearly enunciated.
dont listen to him very often but gave this album a listen & its dope fav track "rozay & gotti"
DJ Akademiks palms got so sweaty every min this interview\Discussion went by
Wale style was built for the radio...problem is radio era is gone so like he said perception is everything....he should've responded to Control to at least show he'll come at folks neck if need be. Keep tiptoeing around competition. Sometime you gotta claim it. The greats did.
All that fucking wining finally caught up to him.
First off, shout out to Frederick, MD...Thats where I reside, and we DMV all day...I think Wale is extremely talented, and Ambition was his best album, in my opinion...He talking all over people in this interview, and I think this is where people become disenchanted with him...ATTITUDE is everything...The talent is there Wale, keep reppin us...We are proud...
is the full version gone for a reason ?
Wale knows mick Jenkins is better than him lol
Wale really is underrated, people don't really appreciate the substance this man brings to the table ✔
Wale, proud you all handling this when you making good music and people just don't recognize it.
I'll check out the album right now.
does Wale still have his Nike Boots?
roque816snchz 😃😃😂😂😂😂😂😂😥😥😂😂😂😂😣😣😣😣😭😭😭😭😌
roque816snchz i like the song Nike Boots- wale ft. lil wayne, cause of waynes part
Don't understand why everyone hates on wale, he's hella underrated.
Exactly!
L
When he deconstructs cc white it’s beautiful, that’s art
more like PEEPEE white
does anybody know what kind of Jordons wale was wearing?
WALE it's your job as an artist to make sure your message is understood NOT thinking they will get it once they hear it. How would you feel if your DR. came talking to you in medical terms about what was going on with you. they can't do that and neither should you. writing something that your intended audience don't get is your fault.
Wale forgets to rhyme consistently in songs while still getting his point across... it's like he sacrifices the rhyming word to finish his thought with a different word and umm... it's not that that's not rap... that's not GREAT rap... it's just like poems that don't rhyme are RARELY as well received as poems that have the same story but DO rhyme... ijs
@@classixthewriter1245 You mad 🤣
that nigga joe said " they aint cutting a check " lmaoo When he showed that cup
I feel u Wale, man go support this brother, go get the album
wizkid gave him dam near the same hook of his sweet love song for wales my love song
Wale shades smoggy asf!!!😂😂😂
CC White is Lit! That pure is too powerful. Dope track Wale! - Hunnee
ima wait full the full episode though...
At this point I feel like Wale tries his hardest to address this album as if its the best in the world and forces people to fuck with it. I feel like if your an artist, take constructive criticism, don't confront people with a salty attitude. Wale is just one of those dudes that just needs to take the Indie route and focus on making music for his die hard fans. Fuck the reviews. Corny or not, this dude have actual fans that really buy his albums and go to his concerts, like any other rapper. Not everyone is gonna ride the wave though.
damn wale this is hard 2 watch makes me wana buy the album but then again i dnt support wack rappers
Chuma Robinson how is he wack. dude has bars good production his Seinfield album was actually dope as fuck
Seinfeld album Lmaoo
Chuma Robinson Savage
Chuma Robinson album to do about nothing is what is called bro and yeah it hard favourite track is matrimony with usher or the intro to do about nothing
^ The Album about Nothing**
Wale be like put some respek on my name! 😂😂 that's my guy doe
Wale's glasses had a hell of a night lastnight
to be 1hunnit i havent really thought about wale since Nike boots
Wale doesn't think he flopped but then again he also doesn't think J. Cole dissed him on False Prophets.
Wale holding his ground and making sure he is understood. I'm WIT it
It's cool but it's been done before, commons I used to love her and come to think of it a bunch of other times unsuccessfully
Akademiks would be over the moon if they got Drake on the show
Them shades dirty
Wale about to be wearing those glasses a lot now lol
I love the album He got skillz but fr each song gonna sound diff & mean something diff to everyone tho. It's art mannn
This was so boring to watch smh!
tarez hudson forreal bro
tarez hudson boring asf
ok?
just like listening to Wale's album
Pedro Colmenares you a bitch
Wale needs to step down from the stool he puts himself so high up on smh
wale never just answers a question lol there's always a tale reply to a question
That gaga record is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
if I was ever going to consider listen to wale after the first 3 minutes THE FIRST THREE I was like no he is a arrgont potentially talented artist. who comes on someone else's show discredits there fan base a fan base that that person has worked just as hard or may be even harder you to bulid. Also Just because a big artist gives you feature that doesn't mean instanly you are a great rapper and people have to like your music. nah fam just because you can rap from the perspective of a chain does make you the most complex rapper ever bro. Just because people don't like something doesn't mean they don't understand it as listeners comments like that turn us away
Lmfaoo wale is a weirdo
Ogstevie this nigga like a school kid tryna do a PhD and tryna convenience others he doing excellent
Lol wale at the end really tried coming for akademics follow count 😂😂
C.c white reminds me of a Baltimore love thing by 50 cent
