What I've been bumpinn

There's much debate that there's a set "freshman class" or "upcoming rapper" category in hip hop, and again there's much debate who's at the top of that list. I'm here to tell you that I recognize that Drake, Kid Cudi, and Wale are at the top of that list. I'd say that they're all equally at the top. But wait, there can only be one! I know right? So I'm going to base it off their freshman albums. I think its fair, because in all honesty, a strong debut album will secure your spot in history. Look at Nas' "Illmatic", Jay-Z' "Reasonable Doubt", and Kanye's "The College Dropout". Three very solid albums. Three very solid careers. Nuff Said.
A few posts ago i did a review on Kid Cudi's "Man on the Moon: The End of Days", and I'm back to do Wale's "Attention Deficit."



The first run through of the album made me go "wow." All of Wale's previous mixtapes were VERY good, and I think its fair to call "Attention Deficit" an ALBUM and not just a mixtape. It's that good. Sure, some tracks are very radio friendly, but it's not like Wale can't spit. Because there's no doubt that he can't. My favorites include "Mama Told Me", "World Tour", and "Beautiful Bliss". These however are not the ONLY good tracks on the album. The guest appearances were from a broad spectrum of artists. On one hand you've got Bun B and Marsha Ambrosius (Floetry). And then you've got up and coming artists J. Cole and K'naan. In all, the album is solid; it's a great mix of both radio hits and lyrical bliss.
Rating:

But hey, you gave that same rating for Kid Cudi's debut album. I'm going to say that Wale has a slight edge over Kid Cudi...just because at this day in age, lyricism isn't enough. Being a good MC isn't enough either. When you crossover into the mainstream, you have to attain a kind of widespread radio presence and public presence. Cudi did this with "Day N Nite", but with his latest album, the public is going to have to get used to his style. Wale crossed over with "Chillin", and soon with "Pretty Girls" and "Let it Loose". That's why I'm giving Wale the slight edge in terms of success in the music industry. As an artist, Wale is slightly better than Kid Cudi. Drake, when are you going to drop something? Your LP was full of old songs.

a day in my life at irvine

today i ditched class and slept in all morning. i woke up at 3pm and then called up my black friends and we got together in the parking lot behind vdc. we got in the escalade and listened to lil wayne and got high. then we went to costco and stole all of their TVs. my friend deezy gave me his gun and i pointed it at the guard while they loaded the escalade. then i shot him in the arm and ran away. we went up to compton and i got in a gang fight. i shot deezy. and i stole his dunks. i'm giving them to my lex cause they're 10s.

this is the fifth time since i got back from norcal. it wont be the last

lex will never know
