Take This Ring

If Wale could just drop an album already instead of chasing the white dragon with Lindsay Lohan I could stop digging up old singles that make me look like some sort of Stan.

WALE - TAKE THIS RING

Hate Is The New Love

Wale rips two of the best beats of the last few years from Weezy and Hova. Off Hate Is The New Love mixtape from 2006 before he blew up.

WALE - HATE IS THE NEW LOVE MIX

M.I.A. x Wale

I will let Wale's Elitaste team do the explaining on this one, since Hova just released a remix of this two days ago and it seems strange that Wale is hitting it immediately after:

So back in June of 2007 Wale met with Jay while he was still at Def Jam. On the way out of the meeting, MIA’s “Boyz” video came on TV and Jay jokingly said to Wale, “Man I should test you with that beat” as they were walking onto the elevator. He went and recorded to it the next day ... Well, with the recent success of MIA’s “Paper Planes” thanks to the Pineapple Express trailer, Interscope is re-releasing her album with “Boyz” as a single again. Interscope asked Wale to do a remix and I guess Jay-Z and Akon did ones too. Well now that Jay’s is out we thought, hey, let’s put this out with the verse Wale recorded 3 weeks ago and a brand new verse he recorded today.

Wale's version >> Jay's version

M.I.A. - BOYZ REMIX (FT WALE)

Paint A Picture

Old Wale from the early demo mixtape Paint a Picture. Just to get a taste of how he was equally dope way back. I figure it's applicable because Wale rhymes about Michael Phelps, and is probably the only cat to do so to date.

In the near future after we lose most olympic events, most MCs will be forced to rhyme (positively) about Chinese athletes and government officials, so we need our hip-hop nationalism now.

WALE - SPECTACULAR

Dope, Boy

This was previously released with just Lupe, but has been reworked into a perfect throwback Trifecta. Even though "remixes" with new MCs over classic beats is a tired old charade, Pete Rock & CL should be more than grateful for this treatment...

When they reminisce over you, my god.

LUPE, KARDINAL, & WALE - DOPE BOY REMIX

Say Hello To The Bad Guy, Mad Fly

Wale drops his first release since A Mixtape About Nothing. Ridiculous, as expected. Watch the vector on this cat's career...the graph is going to look like the first slope of Mt Everest.

WALE FT YOUNG CHRIS - WHOLE TIME

Kid Cudi ft Wale!

This is straight Dole bananas. Saw this combo coming a mile ago...competing for "Best New Supergroup" against CRS, these two might actually win.

KID CUDI FT WALE - IS THERE ANY LOVE

Wale x Blu x NYC

I usually post shows on the side but jesushchrist, this is like the 1997 Dreamteam. July 13th, S.O.B.s. Get em while they last.

A Mixtape About Nothing

Today's the day. It's well worth the wait. This mixtape marks the beginning of an epic career. I feel very strongly that this is first new artist of our time who is creating genuinely timeless hip-hop. And it has Elaine from Seinfeld on it saying: "I'm up on Wale's mixtape. Doesn't that make me cool mothafuckaaaa?"

Full mixtape download over at Elitaste.

A sampling of what's the hype on this one for those of you at work that need some instant gratification:

WALE - THE VACATION FROM OURSELVES

WALE - THE END CREDITS

Roll With A Hund'ed

New Wale just keeps rolling out. Loving this beat. Mixtape About Nothing drops May 23, and is the most anticipated mixtape release since the beginning of time.

WALE - ONE THING ABOUT A PLAYA
