Title: Wale - The Mixtape About Nothing
Post by: Lord Funk on June 02, 2008, 03:56:44 AM: Crazy.

It's free. You have no excuse not to download this. Hip-hop ain't anywhere close to dead motherfuckers. This is that shit.

Good point, he gives you that feeling that there is still good music out there, something new that is still exciting..Wale is making a good name for himself, this is a dope concept for a mixtape, "The Kramer" is an amazing song, I like the "Nike Boots remix", a lot of other good tracks here. I can't wait for him to make moves in the future.

That's great news!

Here's a question I'd be interested to hear him talk about Nima. I love the go-go influences on his songs - the beats on the new mixtape are crazy. But given his stance on artistic integrity, is he worried that when he drops his major label debut (I think he's signed by Jimmy Iovine), the company will try to use that 'quirky' angle as a gimmick? In short, would he be happy if Interscope markets him as 'The Go-go Rapper'?
