Wale x 9th Wonder: Back To The Feature Mixtape
Yes, this mixtape did come out about 2 months ago. BUT it is still better than anything on the market at the moment. (In my next blog I'll talk about how the mixtape game has stepped up in a major way). Wale really goes all out on this, it could also be the beats by 9th Wonder (it seems like everybody steps their game up on a 9th or a Primo beat), but this is evidence that Wale could be one of the elite lyricists of our decade. One of the rare artists who can rhyme over anything and still hit you with his bravado/cockiness and ill wordplay at the same time. Don't be dis-heartened by all the features. It actually adds to the quality of this product. It seems like all these dudes were trying to outshine each other, and it sucks you into the song with anticipation of what the next dude has to say. Standouts on the mixtape are:
The Sun ft. Memphis Bleek: - Wale's beef with being labled: "So they threw me in the skinny jeans crew / Cos I rap about shit that the people really do"
Pot of Gold ft. Daniel Merriwether: Dropping science on peoples addiction to money:"that fixation for the homer simpson phrase / or prior to the ..re-mi-fa-so-la-ti"
Say It Again ft. Royce Da 5'9: - "The underdog of the underground has come far!"
A must have for anybody who appreciates insane rhyme schemes and unbelievable metaphors... and DOPE ASS BEATS. (download link after the jump)
