Alright . . .this is by no means new, but if there's one thing I know about my friends it's that I have to tell them at least 3 times that something is dope. Then they can come up to me 2 months later like, "Yo! Did you hear so-and-so's new shit?". The new shit I tried to tell you about last winter? Yeah...I heard it.
So with that in mind, I re-present Wale's ("Wah-LAY") Mixtape About Nothing (download free from that link). It's freakishly dope for several reasons, but I'll keep it short: 1) It's loosely themed around Seinfeld, "the show about nothing", and even has a random drop from the woman that played Elaine...how often does that happen? 2) Wale has a gift for similes and obscure references in a Lupe sort of way, without going off about "rainbows and unicorns" (c)-MTV 3) Most of the beats blend traditional hip-hop sound with DC (Wale's home town) Go-Go. One track even blends in Stevie Wonder's (personal hall of fame) "You Got It Bad".
If that's not enough . . .then I don't know what to tell you. Enjoy your Rick Ross records.
