Wale, Ross & Loso’s “Albert Pujols” Barely Only About Albert Pujols (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/31/12 | Filed under Downloads, Rick Ross, Wale, Fabolous

I know Wale and I have had our disagreements in the past but I will give the man this - the man makes some of the better sports references in the game. His MMG sugar daddy Rick Ross? Not so much. And Loso? The man's been known to throw down an ill punchline or two. Well then, this new "Albert Pujols" should be interesting. Listen and download....

Tony Williams Is “Blazin’ High” With Help From Wale, Emilio Rojas & More (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 01/06/12 | Filed under Downloads, Wale, Emilio Rojas, Macklemore, Tony WIlliams

Tony Williams is on a mission to prove that "Some Of My Favorite Rappers Are Friends" on his latest track "Blazin' High" and with appearances from Wale, Emilio Rojas, and Macklemore we believe ya Tony. With a title like "Blazin' High" I expected the song to be one of those mellow, stoner songs but it's far from it. Listen and download...

The Great Debate: Did Wale Sell Out? Oh Hells Yes

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/22/11 | Filed under Features, Wale, Best of 2011, The Great Debate

What, you think he signed to Maybach Music because of Rick Ross’ philanthropic efforts? Because he admired the artistic vision of a man who once rapped, “I’m thinking money – every minute thinkin money / I bust a nut, then I’m back to thinkin money”? Wale didn’t admire Ross’ art, he admired his "Ambition". See more....

From Lupe to Luda, All the Dopeness You Missed Over the Holidays (Video & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/28/11 | Filed under Downloads, Features, Ludacris, Lupe Fiasco, Video, Wale, Mac Miller, Black Star

Believe it or not, this rappity rap blogging thing is more than a full time job. So when the holidays hit I seize the chance to eat, sleep, hang out with the fam and otherwise be a normal, functioning member of society. But Mondays here, which means it's back to RefinedHype's obsessive rap nerdery. See more...

Let’s All Watch Rick Ross & Wale Get Tatted Up In This “Tats On My Arm” Video (Video Breakdown)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 11/16/11 | Filed under Rick Ross, Video Breakdown, Wale

It’s hard to pass up on breaking down any video featuring both Rick Ross and Wale so this new “Tats On My Arm” video was a must for a video breakdown. In the video, Ross and Wale hit up Atlanta’s City Of Ink for some actual tats on my arm action. Oh, and there’s a 2 Chainz appearance. That dude is everywhere these days. He’s like the Visa card of Hip-Hop. See more...

Wale Is The “Lotus Flower Bomb” Whisperer In New Video

The music video for "Lotus Flower Bomb" might start off like a low-budget romantic comedy, but it gets better. Well, not a whole lot better. It does start to look more like a music video though. You've got the R&B singer in sunglasses, the fancy luxury car, a bomb ass mansion, and of course a liquor spot. Unfortunately, the liquor spot is provided by Nuvo a.k.a. the only liquor that's used primarily as a mixer. See more...

In Which I Call Wale a Sell Out for the Last Time

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/07/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Wale

First off, this is the last time I'm addressing the Wale "Sell Out" issue. At this point both sides have hunkered down and no one's going to convince anyone else to budge, so I'm mostly inclined to just let it be. It is what it is at this point. But....I've gotten so many emails/comments/tweets asking for a follow-up response - along with a fair amount of hate mail - that I've decided to go one more round. See more...

Let’s All Watch Natalie Nunn Beat B*tches Up In Wale & J. Cole’s “Bad Girls Club” Video

You know I really can't help but watch this video and think to myself, "Wale and J. Cole? On a song together? Why does this sound so damn mediocre?" Well at least the music video is mildly entertaining. Oh and guys, there's some serious nip-slip action going on at the 1:36 mark. Thank me later. See more...

Wale Offers Fans A Pretty Unique Stream Of New Album “Ambition”

When I first saw that the stream of Wale's upcoming album "Ambition" was done through a YouTube video I was on the verge of handwriting a letter to Maybach Music Group explaining to them that it's 2011 and our technology is way too good to be pulling stuff like this. But after further research I discovered that the YouTube stream is interactive. Listen...

Ironically, This New Wale & Big Sean Record “Slight Work” Needs Just That (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 10/25/11 | Filed under Downloads, Wale, Big Sean

"Slight Work" isn't a bad song, but it really could use some work here and there. And unfortunately, Wale's to blame. There wasn't that spectacular moment when you thought to yourself "now that's a hot verse." And on top of that I wasn't a big fan of the hook especially the "work work work work work [insert 10 more "work" mentions here] part. It was overly repetitive and a bit on the annoying side.
