Life without dreaming is a life without meaning.
Wale
Image
Initially, I felt like my duty was to just keep it positive and be positive and sometimes I crack in that. We're human. I'm imperfect at times and that was just me being imperfect at that one point.
Wale
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The first thing that's important is to really have people believe in you. If you have that, you can do anything.
Wale
Image
Most artists should be able to make the album that they want. You don't necessarily pick the singles that you want when you're making a record, but for the most part it's the same process.
Wale
Image
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
Image
Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You're painting pictures of emotions.
Wale
Image
You never wanna see yourself there. Like, ever. I'd rather go to jail than see myself on Step Your Rap Game up because I take a lot of time with my stuff.
Wale
Image
I don't wanna sound pretentious talking about myself.
Wale
Image
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
Image
I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.
Wale
Image
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
Image
I speak my mind. That's what we loved Tupac for.
Wale
Image
Jay-Z's my favorite rapper, but why can't I aspire to be better than him?
Wale
Image
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
Image
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.

Riding in another drop, ain't talking Enterprise They try to see me, get diabetes from humble pie

Image
I wanna meet the person who wrote the Burlington Coat Factory thing, but that's cool. I would love to understand it more, but everything is good.
Wale
Image
I'm not really caught up with celebrity women. I think a regular girl that goes to school or works at a Complex or Spin or Blender or whatever, one of those magazines. She'd probably be flyer to me than the person she's writing about.
