Wale’s “woe is me perspective” is justified, let me let you know why…
In response to J.I.D selling his upcoming Lollapalooza look on Twitter, Wale jumped on the event to put up a message illustrating A) a sure stage self-pity, and B) an unsubstantiated perception the competition’s the World have blacklisted him after consorting with one another.
Let me preface this by stating: Wale is a good rapper and a stable contributor to the tradition on the entire, regardless that that is hardly my resolution to make, or anybody one particular person I might think about, for various causes altogether.
Whereas Wale’s Tweet is not precisely a information merchandise by itself, it does assist unpack a perception I’ve had, and he appears to have, concerning his work being underappreciated, to the purpose rendering him disinterested within the course of.
Peak Wale was a rapper-to-be-reckoned-with, and whereas folks did initially take discover, he by no means switched his fashion with the altering the guard, very similar to his MMG mentor Rick Ross, additionally caught in his paradigm to various levels success. However ultimately, Wale and Rick Ross did develop into cult figures, yet one more than the opposite. So, all shouldn’t be misplaced.
However therein lies the problem, a cult following does not all the time equate to a competition reserving, the place the multilateralism all the time wins over. When you’re a distinct segment artist, you would possibly get booked at a distinct segment occasion, however do not anticipate Lollapalooza to come-a-looking. Possibly that is the purpose Wale is pertaining to, hit us together with your ideas.
