The Official Wale Thread: Ambitions in Stores 11.1.11

[160jordansdeep]

this is a very sappy album

it would have been something perfect for the summer

its good commercial rap

 

[jomitm]

Eh.

There's much to be desired.

More About Nothing > Ambition. It had a lot more open, honest, and genuine creative music on there.

Like many have said, he has the material but his song placement is questionable.

Too many slow songs. But I guess he gotta do what he does cuz it's the women who are gonna buy the albums.

To me, Ambitions is a really good album.

No,
I'm basing it off the fact that he said it was going to be a "classic album" but it actually wasn't anything close. What makes it worse is that he had better material that would have made his assumption a little more valid but those songs weren't included. IMO this album isn't garbage (ended up buying 8 songs from the deluxe version) but it didn't live up to the expectations or the self hype from the artist himself.

Figure will probably change slightly (up or down) once the final Billboard number is posted, but it looks like a solid sophomore debut.

 

[rhester]

He doubled AD's total sales 1st week

Not a fan of his, but it's cool to see new artists able to sale pretty well in this rap climate. I'm sure ten years ago about this would have
been a 250-300K release or something.
