However, about other tracks is he is looking for love or lust?įurther, into the album, we get “The Girls On Drugs” - A fan favorite, that was on his collaborative mixtape with A-Track, “Festivus,” which released at the end of 2014. While, “The Body” featuring Jeremih is another song comparing a woman’s physique to an automobile, it’s undeniably a hot slow jam for sure. The possibility of crossing over from the friend zone to something more, Singer SZA sings the lines from Musiq Soulchild’s hit, “Just Friends” (Sunny). “The Need To Know” featuring SZA gives you another look at the classic contemplative side of him. On this song also, you can find Wale speculating on why he’s not found true love, as he spills on his past relationships and regrets. In the essence of classic Wale, some of the ladder tracks on are for heavily R&B influenced “The Matrimony” featuring Usher where Seinfeld likens marriage to a rollercoaster. On the other hand, some of his tracks on the album give you stories of overcoming confidence issues, lady problems and the struggles of growing pains as artists. And sharing about his affinity for the shoe culture (Wale is a serious sneakerhead if you didn’t know). The song is a clear message about how clean shoes are a status symbol around the way. ”Take this good advice / They gonna judge you for life / Say we can’t always be right / We ‘gon be good long as those sneakers white.” On “The White Shoes”, he belts out the lyrics: Like so many rappers these days, Wale also loves to showcase his vocal skills on many of the tracks singing on choruses and hooks. Telling you with all honesty, how he feels about comments and why he doesn’t mess with a lot of people in his same arena. “F-You, leave me alone,” he flatly sings in the on the chorus of the song. He is known to receive some criticism for not being more like his MMG label mates, which you can tell fuels a couple of tracks on the album specifically, “The Middle Finger.”

Wale is a different type of rapper, as his portrayal in this and previous works.
