Ever since Wale signed with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group imprint accusations that Wale had "sold out" surfaced. Me being a music junky and not too shabby behind the Mic myself I have a respect for the craft far beyond the biased trend based ears of today. However when speaking with my manager he did point out a few key points. First the tattoos Wale recently added to his collection. Second how uncomfortable he looks in the graces of MMG members. All that aside I firmly believe Wale has a firm grip on who he wants to be as an artist. He showed just that on Ambition, his latest release which dropped yesterday 11/1/11. However what keeps this album from being a classic is imagery tracks like tatts on my arm. Don't get it twisted that track is crazy, the beat is amazing but its just not Wale. In terms of the album as a whole I would say its a classic barring the Wale prejudices but if you're searching for a "Wale" the DC savior album then dig out attention deficit. This album is the I finally made it album. In other terms its like Commons Like Water For Chocolate compared to Be or Finding Forever. You be the judge, this is my critique but overall it is an album worth the money and a classic depending on what you expect Wale to be
