Wale,you are a true son of your parents. We your brothers from Nigeria 🇳🇬, and the African continent are super proud of you.. Keep shining.
I'm Nigerian American 🇳🇬
That class of Wale, Jcole, Wiz, Drake, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Future is one of the greatest rap classes ever.
We won’t see anything like it again
The only wiz we know is WIZKID
I don’t think he’s a rapper
That decade is timeless.
@@worldentertainingstreets3376 Get out lol
Can't forget Krit and Nipsey Hussle
Wale is one of the greatest rappers of all time hands down!! Maybach poetic genius
I love Wale but how?
@@AD-rx9cm the album about nothing and Shine
@@AD-rx9cm no rapper has ever incorporated spoken word poetry with a unique DC sound “Gogo” so beautifully in my opinion.. not to mention he single handedly opened the door for all DC and DMV rappers to enter the game… and his catalogue and consistent billboard hits speak for themselves… he really is under appreciated but definitely one of the greatest to ever pick up a mic
@@chiemxerxobi that’s my favorite project from him. But greatest… that term is used super loosely. He’s dope though
@@chiemxerxobi first folarin was 🔥🔥
Great album from wale literally no skips only 15 songs 47 mintues long!!!!!
Facccccctttss I said The said same thing
There's one skip lol I hate Jump In lol but album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@nasthegoat6738 nah I love jump in but to each their own
That album is so good….
I skipped a couple of songs.
Wale is a young legend! Bro been nice. I appreciate bro and his artistry. Music is legendary ‼️
Man, I love Wale...Been rocking since 09'.....It sucks that he's impacted so many lives and the culture at large, but always seems to feel like he doesn't get the credit he deserves...I pray he sees the true value of his impact one day..
Big Facts
That's my only gripe. We give him as much recognition and love as we can. Hope he sees his impact one day as well.
I differently agree
I like the fact that wale has found that inner peace and is not concerned about industry metrics!! Much respect! Naija in the building!!
Great Convo. Wale is that cool neighbor upstairs who whenever you see them, you want to go for a walk in the park and light it up.
And thennnn?
Nobody thinks wale is cool lol
Wale will always remain timeless… just solid dude.
To escape hell believe in Jesus he shed his blood for your sins, he rose again for you to be in heaven.
Always good to hear from Wale. Both a lyrical beast & a style ICON. A true original artist.
Which style🥴
Rakim, 2Pac and Nas combine.
You’re pushing it with style icon - Let’s not get carried away
@@Jay-jw4yi respectfully, his longevity and style selection make him an icon to me. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Ebro, Laura and Rosenberg always show Nigeria soooo much love. 🇳🇬 loves you guys too. Hope you come to 🇬🇧 soon
Wale Folarin. My favorite artist ever. Love that he gave himself flowers this time 🌹

Wale is one of the great DC rapper and the whole album Folarin II is lit and it’s still number 1 on iTunes charts. 🐐🐐🐐🐐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The greatest DC rapper*
He not from DC, he's from Montgomery County, MD
@@facethegreat8774 When I was on Wikipedia I search Wale and he was born in Northwest, DC, but he was really raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
He was raised & went to school in Md. he started claiming Dc when he started hanging with Rock Mikey & UCB . Just like KD . Them niggas hang with a few guys from the city & now they from here. MD bammas
I really like the space that Wale is in. He’s super underrated but the real know! #dmv
Hands down one of my favorite artist and lyrics we love you Wale when it’s all said and done his catalog will speak for itself 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This dude is a legend. No two ways about. Wale Folarin🇳🇬💯🔥
Man as a African (Lib🇱🇷&Ghana 🇬🇭) that Been in America for a bit I'm always happy to see someone from our continent flourish and be successful. Been rocking with wale since before nike boots days
@j mike freeman: Did you agree with Wale when he said all black people are African? Our black ancestors are from all over the world, not just Africa!
@@dalontericco7184 good for you. I know where we are from
I love that he praises black woman. I love that he never forgets his strong DC roots. Well he really can't cause it's in his speech 100% lol! But I respect his music and I wish he was bigger but folks want to hear more of bitches and hoes... And popping pills music. DC all day!
I agree, it's even greater that he uses his gift to uplift them, they deserve everything and more, enjoy your day Queen👑
He still has the dc accent so much... cool to c
‼️
Love from your DC folks from by the shrimp boat. DEANWOOD ALL DAY💯💪🏿
@@bookofeli1902 come on shrimp boat! I was born around they're. East Capital st. But my main roots is S.W!

Wake has been one of my favorite rappers since he’s entered the industry. His verse on No Hands really shows how versatile Wale can be. More About Nothing is a timeless classic
Wale definitely been levelling up music wise 👍👍
Wale new album is fire all the way through! Every song no skips! Such a great artist and I’m going to go back and listen to his whole catalog.
Yasssss Wale! I'm Washington DC, born & raised and Wale is official. I've seen him chillin in the clubs and Go-Go on several occasions. Dude is so humble. ---PS I wasn't a fan until I actually met him. He's dope
Deanwood all day. Shrimp boat love family 💯💪🏿
He is not official he is a Moco guy nothing real just facts 😂😂😂😂😂
@@mrmagneto2700 we know that already.
@@bookofeli1902 Right...I'm just saying that Wale is a really nice & humble, down to Earth type of dude. I mean that 100% and 🗣 I'm FROM SE DC!!!
