DC killin it...

Wale has a couple of new video's out... Looking like he's going to be pushing this Back to the Feature mixtape. Which should be pretty good.

The first video I think most of you would have heard. And when you first heard it... Thought that Santogold had hooked up with another hip hop artist. But it ain't Santogold on the track. It's Lady Gaga... Miss Controversial. This track is hot, and I've been on it for a minute now. The lyrics are fire, and the beat is superb. Its something I'm starting to expect of Wale though. He pays homage to the "I'm flyer than the rest of them" premise, and proceeds to tell the audience why he is 'Flyer than the rest of them.' Lady Gaga adds a whole new attribute to her musical repertoire with the Santogold feel. All in all it's a track that I like the feel of, and the video is what it is. It'll advertise Wale to the general public that haven't heard of him and give him some deserved air time...




The other video that he's got at the moment is Family Affair. On this track he gets a lot more lyrical and not so much bragging. He seems to put more emotion into this track. I've been caught out calling him the Nas of DC after hearing this track. The beat is emotionally gripping enough, and his flow follows that of Nas but with a Wale twist. Those two combined give this track an epic feel... It almost gets climactic on the track. Similar to One Mic the beat builds up and takes over your soul like a movie backing track does. The video matches the track well too... Very movie like in it's cinematography and its emotional content. If you didn't know by now... This video will show you... Wale is a real MC.
