Album is worse than Ambition 

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

It's ok to me. He may not "rap" better than Cole but he's far more entertaining.

I like The Curse of the Gifted, LoveHateThing, Heaven's Afternoon, Bricks, Clappers, 88 & Outro About Nothhing

That's more songs than I like on Born Sinner

 

[nothinafta]

Album is trash

 

[whodamanudaman]

I'm sure it was discussed when it was announced, but since this is my first time seeing it, let me just say, he's ******g tripping with that album cover.  Like really tripping.  

 

[meek meals]

Streamed this.

Album is better than I expected . . . still ehh overall. Some tracks ride, some tracks are corny, like Vanity.

Seems like he's stuck between whether he wants to be soulful or a mainstream success. I don't think he's found his identity as far as where he wants to be in the game.

He, and rappers in general, should stop trying to make a certain type of music and just make the music they want to/feel like making when they go in the studio.

ALBUM IS GARBAGE.....LIKE FOR REAL FOR REAL

Son said "for real for real"

Never seen anyone actually type that out online.

I use to be the biggest wale fan I knew back in 08/09 but over the last few years everything he's done has been meh for me at best. My expectations for dude are and was extremely low for this album. So I just skimmed thru the stream on iTunes and its another project from wale. I know artists are about growth and changing over time and he's making more money than ever before, but sadly I don't think we'll ever get a tape like More about Nothing from him ever again.

Yeah bro, its almost like some of us Cole fans who are SLIGHTLY dissapointed in born sinner.
Its still a good album, but it sucks to realize you aint gonna see any more of "The Warm up" type music.
Same goes for Wale. I personally liked More about Nothing 2... that was his dopest project IMO.

Wish more of his music was like that, but like you said artists change...and so does their interests.

 

[DROMONTANA]

Simple Man

Album is growing on me still waiting for dirty

 

[pscham81]

I like it, theres not much to hate on. Good production, solid bars.

Nothing out of this world but better than that Cole album for certain IMO.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

Just like Ambition I'll only be purchasing 8 songs from this album, this includes the original version of Bad. No way this is better than Born Sinner.

This x1000 but everyone has there own opinion.

Still waiting on an explicit version but I already like this a lot more than Ambition.

 

[keko jones]

Wale has nuts to name the album The Gifted and put out this ****!

SMH

 

[Belgium]

Tbh I like every song on this album, no skippables besides Clappers and Golden Salvation imo.

Vanity 

 

[sportsjunkie]

its a solid album IMO. i like it

 

[cragmatic]

Explicit out yet?

 

[ace rawstein]

I think the lack of the leak is actually hurting this dude...

I would dl it to check it out but I'm not wasting my time with a clean version.

 

[victor page]

How would the lack of a leak hurt someone?

 

[killmoves301]

How would the lack of a leak hurt someone?

becuz admit it i'm not/your not buying wale's album off his name only or even his name and a strong single ie lotus flower bomb. if a leak was provided it could give someone a legitimate chance to listen to the music before it comes out and what you hear might be worth the purchase. A nicely timed leak of a good album can get people talking adds hype and intrigue for the release date.

 

[reallive301]

This album isn't nearly as bad as y'all making it out to be.  This is for sure an improvement over Ambition.

Oh and the explicit version is out

 

[victor page]

if a leak was provided it could give someone a legitimate chance to listen to the music before it comes out and what you hear might be worth the purchase.

That's why he...and every other artist this year have made their albums available for stream prior to release date.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

He thought he was Pac all throughout the album...
