Ambition Review: Wale Album
La la la la la. That’s how it all began. The sounds of Go-Go
bring us into eleven one eleven; the day that Ambition dropped or shall I say became available on the shelves and
iTunes. The album I have been anticipating since my last Wale review is finally
in my possession. If you follow Wale on Twitter, you have seen him boasting and
bragging on what he calls a “classic” album. Honestly, I only respect cockiness
if you have something to talk big about. For instance, I love and respect Cam’ron
and Kanye. Both men are most likely the most arrogant niggas in the rap game
but they also have classic work to back it up. Now, I’m not about to classify Ambition as a classic album but it damn
sure is close for a sophomore album. Maybe it’s because we have been deprived
of good, wholesome music for so long that we are over-ecstatic when we hear
something close to it. Regardless, I give kudos to Wale.
But let’s dive into this review.
Don’t Hold the
Applause bangs through the speakers with that expected and beloved Wale
sound. The next three tracks follow in its footsteps. My head hasn’t stopped
bobbing and I haven’t turned the music down yet. Lotus Flower Bomb flows and I let it ride because what real woman
would ignore classy admiration? “I’m just trying to read your mind. I’m just
trying to feed you mine”, Wale spits. Yes, I googled the perfume since
Christmas is around the corner and that’s an expensive ass fragrance. Just give
me a gift card to Bath and Body Works. Chain
Music comes thereafter. I will not lie. I was disappointed. If Wale was
going to use any track from his mixtape, I would have preferred him to use Barry Sanders. I’m not even going to
express how upset I was when I discovered that Tatts on my Arm was not on the tracklist. Don’t get me wrong. I like
Chain Music. I simply don’t feel it
was a strong choice. But who am I?
Please stop trying to turn Kid Cudi into another Mos Def.
Why is he only singing choruses? What’s next? He’s going to star in a few
underrated movies? I really wished Cudi could’ve spit a verse on Focused. It’s a dope song. If I had my
way, I would’ve had Drake featured on Focused
and Kanye on Legendary. Since I brought
up Legendary, I want to point out the
instrumental has the faint sounds of Big Sean’s Final Hour, which everyone knows is one of my favorite motivational
songs. “It’s something to be great. It’s nothing to be famous” Wale raps. Sit
and think about that for a moment. But while you marinate on that, I want you
to feel the hook, “Fuck fame. Fuck money. Fuck everything anyone can take from
me.” Sheesh. That is probably one of my favorite songs on this album.
Sabotage was the biggest
fail. I’m going to take a chance and say they were going for the same feel as That Way and Lotus Flower Bomb. Hated it! He attempts to redeem himself with White Linen featuring Neyo. And me,
being the Neyo fan that I am can vibe to it. But maybe, just maybe, Neyo should’ve
saved this for his next album. It may have flowed better. I enjoyed it even
with the bitter taste of Sabotage
still on my mind.
I was so ridiculously ecstatic to see Big Sean on the
features. Slight Work is for the
twerkas (word to J Roddy Rod) and I freaking love it. While I’m winding my
waist, Sean spits “Bitch get hit with my ciroc-a-vodka-choppa.” Great club
song. Work it! Ambition should have
been the closing and maybe should’ve featured Pusha T and/or Beanie Siegel.
Those are both personal opinions and no matter how hard it is for me to admit
it, it’s dope with Meek Mill and Rick Ross. I loved Illest Bitch Alive. I know hundreds of bitches are going to change their
Facebook and Twitter names to that surname. Just like they all turned into
barbies and five star bitches. Besides that, I can’t knock Wale for showing
love for women in the world handling their business. “No one notices your
struggle. No one knows what it’s like”, Wale raps. This is a solid ass album regardless of how cocky the artist may
be.
Niggas be bitches. Hoes be bitches. I don’t see no
difference.
