It's kind of like a persona thing I design my records and the sound a certain way for two different projects. I'm very creative, I'm knee deep in that joint. I don’t like the percussion so let’s change the snare.’ I might be doing it myself on some of the songs on there so it's a little bit different." In March 2013, when speaking of his third studio album Wale said, "I'm dropping my third solo album first, then a couple months after I'll probably drop the Nothing project. Self Made I could just hit a beat, but now I’m like ‘Alright, I don’t like the strings. He also explained that he would be taking his time on the album, saying: "It’s not coming as quick as like a lot of other projects. This new project I’m working on is definitely allowing me to do that." I haven’t had an opportunity to stand on my own sonically as an artist as much as I would like. Kinda like when I was in my best pocket…Just for being swarmed in my own stuff and doing Self Made and all those things. I proved a lot to my peers and to myself and to my fans so I just wanna take it back to something a little more exciting.
In November 2012, during an interview with MTV, Wale explained he would be taking a new approach with his third studio album, saying: On November 25, 2011, shortly after the release of Ambition, Wale announced on Twitter that he had already begun working on his third album. In June 2016, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 158,000 copies in its first week. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. The Gifted was supported by four official singles- " Bad", " LoveHate Thing", " Bad (Remix)" and " Clappers". The album also features guest appearances from Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz among others. The production on the album was handled by multiple producers including Just Blaze, Jake One, Kane Beatz, Cardiak, The Runners and Lee Major among others. The album was released on Jby Maybach Music Group, Allido Records, and Atlantic Records. He explained it better.The Gifted is the third studio album by American rapper Wale. The cover artwork of Wale as a statue was explained as a message to his haters or those who “vandalize” him. The album was intended to be laid out as a book or movie, in which there is continuity between songs. Even when he made the list, he felt he wasn’t high enough.ġ5. Wale really cares about his position on MTV’s Hottest MCs List. Apparently she, Wale and French Montana were at a nightclub and she decided on the spot to record the song.ġ4. Wale says he got Rihanna in the studio for ‘Bad” (Remix) through “bribery.” No word on how you bribe Rih Rih. Wale did not play “Black Heroes”/”Outro About Nothing” featuring Jerry Seinfeld. Several times he made it known that he wants to produce beats for other artists. Wale produced his first beat ever on The Gifted. The first-person account was inspired by Nas’ classic “I Gave You Power.”ġ1. “Golden Salvation (Jesus Piece)” has Wale rapping from the perspective of the popular chain charm rappers wear.

go-go music and is a fun, bounce-ready number. “Clappers” featuring Nicki Minaj and Juicy J is inspired by Wale’s love of D.C. Wale defines himself as the “Weirdo of MMG” and says he often records like a hermit, going days on end without showering.Ĩ. The NFL star explained to us later that he met Wale at a random party and they hung out for two hours. The Bawse was flailing his arms and throwing up the “Rock ‘n’ Roll” sign all night.Ħ. Rick Ross sure likes to get his dancing on, even while sitting down. The track “Gullible” featuring the splendid vocals of CeeLo stems from an incident in which haters were being mean to Wale online.ĥ. When asked about his former label Interscope, the rapper responded with the obvious diss, “Who?” Take that Jimmy Iovine!Ĥ.Ĝyber bullying isn’t relegated to teenage girls.
