RELATED: Wale Explains Cockiness, Why He Joined Maybach Music Group
first off are there even people in frat houses during the summer aside from the three kids taking summer classes??
second off i will be downloading this illegaly just like the last one thanks wale!!
lmao @ second off….i gotta lay off the zans
Good 2 see Ross pushing wale and the rest of maybach 2 albums in one year is a good push 4 wale and any other artist on the label.. Jay z still hasn’t put out j.Cole or jay e yet… I hope Ross doesn’t become like jay z or another birdman
uhh they haven’t put cole out yet? where the hell you been?
DONE! LMAO
Anonymous, he’s been making his comment 2 months ago…
Wale disappointed me with his last album..haven’t looked at him the same since lol. Had Gucci on his last Pop Debut..wonder if he’s gonna have Wacka Flacka for this one. I just don’t get excited for albums anymore. Only one I’m excited for is J.Cole’s, even though he got Trey Songz on that bitch..we’ll see
Attention Deficit was a good album. Minus Pretty girls.
you judge by the guests on the album? smh
Stop being a selfish fan. All songs shouldn’t be catered to your likings. So what if he had lady gaga on the track. so what if J. Cole enlisted Songz. It’s okay, that wasn’t for you. There will be songs there for you Bro.
is one ugly motherfucker
cant wait for this wale is my fav in the game right now nobody is spittin like him for real he is the def of an mc!! tru hiphop
Lady gaga killed that record and I don’t mean in a positive way, I kno M.I.A. was originally was in, don’t know why she got cut but it was a bad idea who did that.
interscope familia….
Wale turned me from a hater to a believer with his last mixtape “Eleven One Eleven Theory.” Dude is talented and I’m buying this album.
that wasn’t the first album he intended
the label got a hold of him..
yeah the lady gaga track sucked
but the lyrics on the album are pretty real and deep
now he has more control it will be better
11-1-11 theory was dope
finally cant wait for this album!! wale is on fire right now i will for sure get this first day support good hiphop and a real MC get the album and bring real hiphop to the top of the charts he has a great buss to!
cole world now wale dropping ambition this is a good month for hiphop i think ambition will be better than cole world though real talk but both are great MC’S been waitin on wale to drop for a min though dude be spittin crazy
tf no
Wale is too ill
im not on a diet, somebody lied, I got a whopper in the car. HHUUGH!
Why did he steal Allure’s first album cover?
Old ass nigga…Allure? you must be 40 or some shit LOL! Go to the Keno website and play lottery…
wheres the kid cudi track
that’s what i’m wondering also
this
ah nigga what about Tats on ma arm ? Huh!! #RozayVoice
wale getting props as a lyricst shows just how bad rap fell off.
what is he good at? cheesy sports punchlines? his voice sucks, his character sucks. he makes girl joints hoping the females fall in love and buy his album. news flash, youre 5 feet tall, you look like you sleep in the fire place. this is the same guy that flopped with a jay-z cosign and lady gaga on his first single.
one of the lamest rappers ever. honest. if youre a grown man, playing wale records, youre a disgrace to the human race. i remember when rappers would flop and fall off the face of the earth. now with the internet, they stick around, like flies on shit. go away you wack ass bum. another sellout rapper dropping a sellout album that wont sell shit. retire you big head midget.
^^^this nigga woke up hate’n smh. get a life dude
why u hatin can u rap better then him? he is a good lyricist. not greatest ever like a nas or pac. but he’s a very good one no doubt. why u lookin at his tracklist if listening to him makes u a disgrace?
wale fans = soft
wale defenders = FAGGOTS
carry on wimps
angry people on the internet = people who aren’t happy in their real lives.
It’s music. Cheer up lames.

album look like its gone be good
yall stay bitching about something on this site enjoy the music if not keep it moving
ambition = tats on my arm + extra verse? o.O
i really don’t think this tracklist is correct, wale has been quoted n other sources have confirmed tatts on my arm, bait n chain music would be on it. yesterday he released a snippet of a song with kid cudi that he said would be on the album and its been rumored for a while a song wit drake called destiny was gonna be on here too.
also bad girl’s club which was also confirmed for the album as the lead single isnt on here wtf!?
obviously not correct its missing the songs with cudder and jcole
he need that lets chill joint wit Lloyd on here too
Its not Wale hasn’t got skills. It’s like he doesn’t know who his fan base is…
He makes all these random songs not one of them really stands out – he leaves you confused and bored.
I think the other Maybach Musik signees will sell more.
Just My Opinion – let the accusations begin.
Glad to see he’s going with less features on this one. Also a bit upset some of his earlier singles that I liked (Bad Girls Club, Chain Music) aren’t making the cut, but maybe they’ll be bonus tracks or something like that.
I cant see this dude selling shit, I mean why would any artist sign with Rick Ross, like its gonna get them somewhere??
Ross himself struggles for Gold everytime he drops, no disrespect to the guy but when you yourself barely hang on to a position, how you gonna guide other people to the promised land???
You cant and thats why Triple C’s and that Self Made album combined have sold less then 100K…….
MMG is a doomed enterprise, I feel sorry for Meek Millz, he shoulda looked into other options
He signed with Ross bc Ross gave him an opportunity to expand. I don’t think Ross is struggling for gold, but to make music. I don’t think MMG is a doomed enterprise as they keep expanding and dropping albums unlike a lot of hyped up artists who haven’t even dropped shit like Jae Millz or Papoose. Regardless, they going to keep making music, getting that bread and living a lifestyle you only fathom when you go to bed everynightt in your mommas basement throwing darts at a poster of Rozay…
Self Made made more den 100k meathead
where’s the track with J.Cole?
Look man Wale is talented starting fresh with MMG his first cd was good but commercial cuz he was probably forced to. But this will be good be he can do better if he were to get real artists around him like when he first started he made songs with the roots and those seinfeld mixtapes were beast he is right not doing a style of rap that isn’t suitable for him which is gangsta rap, when really he should be layed back with some 9th wonder beats and underground style.
No Wale is dead, I hope he rap about hoes and money all the fucking time so all the fans leave him alone.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE BITCHES, WITH NO ASSHOLE!!
Im excited bout dis lp yes sir!!!!!!!!!!!
man wale gotta bangin album!!! ill pick this one up for sure its better than cole world 2
thought that ambition was gonna be a huge sellout move, but those previews ain’t too bad, its radio, but radio meets pre-self made wale, the beats sound crazy
^this
WOW, IM IMPRESSED!!! I THINK ILL BUY YHIS ONE, ……AGAIN……WOW!
WHAT!!!!! THIS IS CRAZY, 5STARS
THIS GUY GOT A DAMN NEAR CLASSIC!
looks like some trash to me.hes wack his features are wack so what does it make this guys album..WACK!
WALE > JCOLE
joke of the day
Joke of the Year.
slight work with big sean is pretty fuckn good
Its a thin line between commercial and hip-hop and Wale is a back and forth type of dude, its disappointing. When your mixtape is better than any of your LP’s and this trash what audience are you trying to capture? Shit is garbage son, you sold your soul to Rick C.O. Ross and that freestylee you spit on BET cypher was garbage too!!! Lol
Yo this shit is straight bangin, much better than his first album.
that album cover looks so gay
Wow this album isn’t full of sellout commercial songs first 4 tracks are beast rest is sellout with a few good songs like track 9,11,12,13 and 14 he should’ve got john legend on it also i wish he got rid of slight work worst beat of the year!
it’s all over the place but sounds good. Don’t have a real concept like J. Cole’s album
I believe in this fuckin album
Well at least he doesn’t have a Trey Songz feature. That seems to be the norm with any rap album.
Nobody likes this guys music…GTFOH!!!
#AMBITION http://t.co/7NVPXBzC
im really not sure about this, all ive heard so far is tracks for the ladies, ive not been impressed, i dont think itll be better than his debut or mixtapes. He switched his whole style up and I dont like it. Plus hes leaked pretty much the whole album already, WTF is up with that?
This is cool his last cd was straight…he is just not one of the heavy hitters ..he could go gold with it
standard album formula. betta show some personality wale check out this dude punching a girl in her pussy during a video shoot

Wale: Wassup
Reporter: So they’re calling you tax-write-off Wale’… can you comment??
Wale: Awww…. nawwww
Reporter: Okay. well… moving on. Lets take some viewers tweets…. Here’s one. Okay. Is it true you’re actually a one the aliens in Men in Black …??
Wale: Wow… is this for real??
Reporter: I’ll choose another one. “Hey Wale, when are you gonna make music people actually care about?”
(awkward silence)
Wale: On the new record… dropping Nov 1st, I really go …
(a lawyer whispers in Wale ear)
Wale: Dec 1st. Comming Dec 1st.
Reporter: Right…. pushed back again??
(more muffled whispers)
Wale: Yeah. Ya boi Wale dropping Dec 1st 2012
(more whispering)
Wale: Maybe.
I’m a Wale supporter. I don’t approve of the MMG move, but I thing he does his thing here pretty well. I think this will be a strong album.
That BET cypher was dog shit lol I don’t know what was more embarassing. Meek Mills rap, or Rick Ross flaunting his man tits. I’ll reserve judgement on Wale until I hear the new album, but I don’t think expectations are going to be that high anyway. He’s been here before.
i Don’t Know why He did Not Sell More Than Wack Meek Mill
He is the Best from Mmg Rick Ross Garbage also Meek Mill Damnn
What Happen To Rap WHere The Great Ones Aren’t Selling The Best
