More quotes by Wale
I could have easily got T-Pain or anybody like that, but let me just get somebody very left. That'll wake them up. Gaga. She's never done a rap record before. Pay attention. It's a method to my madness.
Wale
There's a lot of real unity - and a lot fake unity, sadly. I think a lot of people are going to get an opportunity to pursue greatness and pursue careers outside of D.C. Not everybody is going to make it. I think there's a connotation that there's a lack of rappers out there.
Wale
I'm just trying to make the best music I can possibly make and represent the new class or whatever. Myself and Cudi and Asher and B.o.B. That's all I can do at this point.
Wale
You're the artist - you make the music that you want to make.
Wale
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you cant fake. Im not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.
Wale
I'm a regular person. I know a lot of people love being famous. I don't like it. I'm just chillin'. YouknowwhatI'msayin'?
Wale
I just wanna affect the culture and wanna be able to support young people with goals that aren't just limited to rapping and producing.
Wale
One thing Jay z told me that always sticks with me, is that, the album is never how you viewed it to be.
Wale
I'd love a super human memory. My memory has never been good.
Wale
You niggas so-so like a seamstress.
Wale
I don't wanna sound pretentious talking about myself.
Wale
No days off. I'm a workaholic.
Wale
Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You're painting pictures of emotions.
Wale
I like David Beckham just because of his lifestyle. He don't ever need to score another goal again. How many times has he been on the cover of GQ?
Wale
Life without dreaming is a life without meaning.
Wale
The first thing that's important is to really have people believe in you. If you have that, you can do anything.
Wale
I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.
Wale
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
Wale
Failure is not an option. Success is just a process.
Wale
I want people to be like, 'Your album's just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]'s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck. I work just as hard as them.
Wale
