Hes been hated on a lot since The Gifted even going back to Ambition a little bit, he needs to come back with a chip on his shoulder. He could still come back with a hot mixtape and a huge album, I see it coming. Other notable performers this week: Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” (~55-60K sales, 70-75K total units), Ludacris’ “Ludaversal” (~55-60K sales, 60-65K total units), Death Cab for Cutie’s “Kintsugi” (~45-50K sales, 50-55K units) and Darius Rucker’s “Southern Style” (~40-45K sales, 40-45K total units). Listened to this for the first time a few days ago and the Wale of today doesnt seem too far off.
#WALE THE ALBUM ABOUT NOTHING LIVEMIXTAPES TV#
All songs from the mixtapes and the forthcoming album are all based on episodes from the TV Show 'Seinfeld'. The LP is an adaptation of Wales 'Mixtape About Nothing' and its sequel 'More About Nothing'. “The Gifted,” that release, moved 158,000 traditional copies in its first week. The album is now scheduled to be released during Fall 2014 as Wales fourth studio album. The two tallies will power “Nothing” to a victory on the Billboard Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts, respectively.Įasily enough for that #1 debut, the album’s sales total will nonetheless represent a far cry from that of Wale’s previous album. With Track Equivalent Album (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Album (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) data included, the album should register a first week consumption total of 90-95,000 units. Wale’s voice isn’t very interesting either. He’s boring to the point of making KRS-One’s new material sound good. Wale really does rap about nothing, with pointless, tired punchlines and run-of-the-mill, good life lyrics.
The throne will instead fall to Wale’s “The Album About Nothing,” which is set for a comfortable victory in the weekly sales race.Īccording to Hits Daily Double, “Nothing” is on track for an opening week sales total in the 85-90,000 range. However, flow is nothing if there aren’t good lyrics to go with it. Throughout the second half, Wale’s attention focuses in on various music-industry pitfalls on tracks like “The Artistic Integrity” and “The Hype,” respitting Method Man’s first radio hit on “The Remake of a Remake,” and reserving space for a highly touted Lil Wayne guest-spot on “The Cliché Lil Wayne Guest Feature.Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” will not score a third week atop the album sales chart. On “The Kramer,” Wale bookends a discussion of the volatile nature of the N-word in a rap music context with samples of Michael Richards’s infamous comedy club freakout (and his unsmiling apology). Wale kicks things off doing his best Jerry-as-rapper shtick over the familiar slap-bass theme song-posing such thought-provoking questions as What’s the deal with these ringtones From there, THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING blends Wale guest appearances (alongside the Roots) and freestyles (over Jay-Z’s Roc Boys) with a number of.

Jerry Seinfeld is on the intro and much of the album, which is clearly a throwback to The Mixtape About Nothing this is a clear sign that the old Wale is back. Wale kicks things off doing his best Jerry-as-rapper shtick over the familiar slap-bass theme song-posing such thought-provoking questions as “What’s the deal with these ringtones?” From there, THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING blends Wale guest appearances (alongside the Roots) and freestyles (over Jay-Z’s “Roc Boys”) with a number of concept songs loosely based on dialogues from the sitcom.
