I’ve Got Nothing But Good Things to Say About Wale’s “Arrival” (Listen) Posted by Nathan S. on 10/05/12 | Filed under Wale

I know Wale and I have had our disagreements over the years - meaning I've criticized him and he has no idea I'm alive - but I wouldn't care enough to criticize if I didn't think Wale had the potential to be one of the better emcees in the game.

What am I looking for? I'm looking for shit like "Arrival". Now this shit's just straight dope, and a perfect example of how he can blend soul-sample beats with some still MMG-aggressive rhymes. I'm gonna have this one on repeat for a minute - at the very least "Arrival" might be the first Wayne Rooney reference in hip-hop history. That's got to be worth something.

No official word on a new project from Wale, but I'm sure he's working on it now. In the meantime, enjoy...
