Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You're painting pictures of emotions.
Wale

You niggas so-so like a seamstress.
Wale
Image
All I’m saying is like, spoil me with your consistency Always remain the same you and you won’t have to worry about a different me
Wale

I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.

I don't want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy's.
Wale
Image
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.

Riding in another drop, ain't talking Enterprise They try to see me, get diabetes from humble pie
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 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
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
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 dated all these girls and ended up not liking them and thought to myself, 'What was it that all of them had in common?' They had too much time on their hands. Even though they were pretty, they lacked something. A woman could be less attractive but with ambition and drive, that's the most beautiful thing.
Wale
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
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 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
It's something to be Great, It's nothing to be Famous
Wale

I hope everybody thinks they've got the best album. I wouldn't have put mine out if I didn't think it was the best.
