Whoa, hey! Whale finally makes a video worth giving a rat’s derrière about. He needs to hang out with Rik more.
How Wale went from this to “Chillin’” in less than a year is beyond grasp. Then again, it’s not like he had a choice.
Wale - “Chillin’” (Feat. Lady Gaga) [Prod. by Cool & Dre][Radio Rip]
Behold a wonky clip of Wale’s monstrous new ringle, “Chillin’,” which allegedly features that Madonna wannabe Lady Gaga.
[Salute: Jabari Johnson]
Here’s your favorite rapper’s favorite new rapper indulging in some lyrical exercise on an unspecified Mark Ronson track. I hope his albums spots more gems like this.
Wale - “5 Minutes” (feat. Skyzoo)
Wale and Skyzoo team up once again to brag about their floetry. They should have named this “Lyrically Inclined Part 2.”
2 musical geniuses, Wale and Travis Barker, cooking up some heat in the studio.
Young Chris feat. Wale - “Large”
Obviously I’m only posting this because Whale delivered a larger than life verse.
“Ain’t Heard It From Me”
Scram Jones whips up a jazz-rap special, while one of DC’s finest trades rhymes with one of Chicago’s finest. Good to see that Fest’s sense of humor is still intact: “Call me 80G kid, you can fill a whole iPod with me. Yeahhh…” Prepare to be wowed.
Wale - “Whole Time” (Feat. Young Chris)
Young Wale teams up with Young Chris (remember him?) over a hard-hitting joint. Is it just me or is Chris doing his best Hov impression on this track? “Say hello to the bad guy?” More like say hello to the wack guy from State Prop.
