Wale Attention Deficit

When I started this post I wanted to give artists who I think don't get their fair amount of shine that platform. I feel that Wale is one of those artists. His rhyming scheme is slick and he rhymes to slick go-go beats that are native to his hometown PG County-Washington DC area.

Lyrics

Wale is a fresh new lyricist that is a change of pace from your Commons, Kwelis, and your Mos Defs. You can't necessarily put his brand of lyricism in a box either. It's not as concious as Mos Def or Common, nor is it really complex like a Nas or Lupe Fiasco, but it isn't simplistic lyrics like those of Kanye West. He is one of those artists that are able to reach a level with his lyrics that only a select few can reach. His lines are slick and witty such as "Chip on my shoulder big enough to feed Cambodia" and "I roam like phones without vocal reception". Not only does Wale brings great lyrics, guests K'Naan and J. Cole put their thing down on this CD as well

Flow

His flow is impeccable on this disc. It's almost as if you can use his a capella as an instrumental in and of itself. The way he rides the beat seemlesslyyou can get lost in the flow and miss some serious lyricism he put down
