I can take an opinion, but I don’t like when you try and spew hate and contaminate the way other people think. I feel like I’m one of the people that’s always made music for the common man. That’s why I don’t really live my life the way I could. I don’t stunt as much as I could stunt, ’cause that’s not who my music is for. Wale Read Quote
Hip-hop is all about impact, baby. You can sell records, you can be two-times platinum, you can be gold… but if you lame, you lame, man. We try to provide the exact opposite of that. It’s style, individuality, confidence. We exude that. Wale Read Quote
I dated all these girls and ended up not liking them and thought to myself, ‘What was it that all of them had in common?’ They had too much time on their hands.

I never had money; I like nice things, but I don’t let that run my life. At the same time, I have to let something drive me… so now I let the money drive me. Wale Read Quote
Everything’s pretty consistent in the industry, you know. There’s a couple of naysayers, whatever, people who don’t agree. But for the most part a lot of people believe in the new class of MC’s that coming to the game. Wale Read Quote
