He called the magazine and berated the staff, at one point threatening violence. So when Complexs annual roundup of '50 Best Albums of the Year' exempted Wales The Gifted from the list, Wale was fed up. And even with a star-studded guest cast, Wale outshines them all, the ‘gifted’ artist that he is. For the first time since his debut, Wales talent was noted in the public eye, and he wanted his due respect. Song after song, he brings something worthwhile to the table. Of course there’s the thoughtful “Bad,” which should be relable to women but also men with ‘relationship’ issues.

Jackson showing up at the end of the first Iron Man movie getting everyone all psyched for The Avengers, FINALLY Wale is teaming with Jerry Seinfeld to give us the album weve been waiting SEVEN YEARS for. Wale generally eschews club bangers, but manages one that’s not completely shameful or desperate on “Clappers.” Still, “shawty got a big ole butt” isn’t the most profound, poetic line ever. Jerry Seinfeld even closed out The Gifted foreshadowing this album. This continues on a second consecutive standout “LoveHate Thing,” where he stopped “giving a f*ck about opinions,” and is “Temporarily out of fizzucks / so tell the post to leave propaganda to the politicians. “And y’all don’t even gotta love us / but you will respect this motherf*ckin’ hustle.” On opener “The Curse of the Gifted,” Wale opens with a bang referencing jealous haters. On this particular effort, he benefits from meaningful rhymes and soulful production work.
