... . Be easy, Wale signed to Interscope. Things take a second. Here is his first video. It’s for the song Nike Boots. This is different than the one that had been floating around on mixtapes.

Video is fresh and has cameos from Bun B, Young Chris & Neef of YG’s, 9th Wonder and more. ...

... presents a strange conundrum. The very thing that El blasts in the first line of his debut record, “nonsense,” has helped make him known. Europass shows that in this age of easily discarded memes and instant gratification, a dedication to quality can still allow one to rise above the muck.–Trey Kirby

Wale feat. Lady Gaga “Chillin’”
Culture Bully —
... odd pairing for the MC, but her “Macarena”-meets-M.I.A. groove mixed with a thumping beat goes a long way in enhancing the song (no matter how ridiculous the description might sound).
