8 Things We Learned From Wale On Ebro In The Morning - Page 3

While Kendrick Lamar’s been dominating the rap talk around the board with his latest release, DAMN!, there are other MC’s worth their weight dropping new material too. Wale being one of them.

Today (April 28),  the DC rapper dropped his latest offering, Shine, a week early and stopped by Ebro In The Morning to speak on his album, his relationship with J. Cole, and why he didn’t like talking about possibly being pregnant.

Here are the 8 things we learned from Wale on Ebro In The Morning.

1. J. Cole

He thinks J. Cole’s verse on “False Idols” helped other people more than him. Ever since that verse dropped Wale says they’ve “been closer than they’ve ever been.”

2. Fatherhood Hardship

Wale had experienced a miscarriage before having the baby he currently has on the way. That’s why he didn’t like to talk about it whenever anyone brought it up because he feared it would happen again.

3. Sued

Wale got sued for missing a show so he could be there to witness the birth of his child.

Wale is currently working on a Go-go album with Pharrell. No word on if Pharrell’s partnership with Adidas will drop Go-go boots to go with the project release. Editor’s Note: “Rimshot!”

5. Hobbies

Wale says that he doesn’t know how to have fun. His only real hobby is making music and playing the studio. What about sneakers you ask? Well…

6. Sneakerhead

He gave up on his sneaker obsession because the culture changed and shifted towards rich kids with credit cards influencing what hits the market.

7. Wrestling Writer

Wrestling has surpassed sneakers as far as a hobby for Wale. He says the soap opera that is professional wrestling helps him write his music and screenplays.

8. K. Dot

He feels Kendrick’s album DAMN. is “very monumental for the time we’re in right now” and he’s the voice of our generation.
