While Drake, Kanye West, and Pusha T’s been dominating the Hip-Hop headlines for the past few months, Wale’s been playing the background and waiting for his moment to strike. Today The Gifted rapper swing through The Breakfast Club and revealed that he’s readying some heat for when things cool down, but unfortunately he’s not telling us when that might be.
Talking with Envy and Charlamagne Tha God (Angela Yee was M.I.A), Wale talks about working with Meek Mill, why he keeps his distance from his daughter at times, and J. Cole’s response to “Groundhog Day.”
Here are the 7 things we learned from Wale on The Breakfast Club.

1. Meek Mill’s Message
Wale says the bars that Meek Mill spitting is “stuff that people need to hear. Especially the kids that look up to him.” Given that Meek is a soldier for prison reform it looks like Meek’s about to pick up where Pac left off as far as rapping about social-political issues.

2. Fatherhood
Wale is so protective of his daughter he says that he won’t even pick her up if he’s feeling like he’s in a bad place or has negative energy flowing through him because he doesn’t want to pass that to her. Interesting take on parenting.

4. J. Cole
After writing “Groundhog Days” in response to J. Cole’s “False Prophets,” Wale says J. Cole told him “Bro, that sh*t is so dope!” Wale says that though he didn’t take “False Prophets” to heart, the one thing that bothered him was some of the material Cole used on that record came from personal conversations. Other than that though they’re still cool.
