eyeWatch: Pretty Girls x My Sweetie

Just yesterday Wale's video for "Pretty Girls" off of his Attention Deficit album was released on BET's 106 & Park. His fans didn't seemed too pleased, and were mostly upset at the fact that there were no dark-skinned girls in the video. In his own defense Wale tweeted this: "PS. I didn't pick the girls for the video..only the contest winner..so with all the "where are the dark girls" BS...keep it..." Minutes later he gave his fans a "treat" by releasing the video to his bonus track "My Sweetie". This song is a feel good track and the video is very down-to-earth. Happy watching!

Attention deficit

At the rare event that you were stuck in a comesmic planet where satellite radio or the broadcasting of any music was perished and you have no clue who Wale is, you will find out within the next few sentences. Before today, Wale was just mixtape rapper from Washington, DC trying to make it.

Today, Wale is signed a rising icon (although he [being his humble self] would be probably say that he's still trying to make it), that is signed to Allido Records/Interscope and a part of Jay-Z's "ROC Nation".

"Attention Deficit", his debut album hit stores today and I'm sure that it will be hitting the charts even harder within the next week. At this very moment the sounds of Wale are coming through my computer speakers and I am impressed. Although my full attention (no pun intended) isn't there because I'm writing this, I hear the voice of someone who is hungry and has maneuvered his way into the music industry nicely. If nothing else, his album is very smart.

My favorite tracks you ask...

"90210" - Very stereotypical, but a very good concept.
"World Tour" - This track reminds me of Rekon's Award Tour.
"Pretty Girls"
"Chillin'" ft. Lady Gaga (yea you know this one).
"Mama Told Me"
"Beautiful Bliss" ft. Melanie Fiona & J-Cole...enough said.

Overall I'll give the album a A-. I think Wale did a great job!

Make sure you go cop Wale's "Attention Deficit"! If you already heard it, what do you think of the album? If not, what are you expecting to hear? COMMENT!

Cypher

I wasn't a fan at all of the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The best part of the show was when Kid & Play came out with the New Boyz. But I'll get straight to the point, here's the what everyone wants to see...the cypher:


Cypher #1 [Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden, Buckshot, CrownRoyale]

to see Cypher 2 & 3

Cypher #2 [KRS-One, Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Gsan and DJ Premier]


Cypher #3 [Mos Def, BlackThought and Eminem]

I want to see a Yonkers cypher. Jada & DMX will kill it!
