Throughout the tape, Wale displays an almost Road Runner-like ability to evade classification. ![]() ![]() "An iPod mind to you Walkman guys," he calls himself at one point, and the adeptness of the rhyme matches the neatness of the distinction. rapper Wale (pronounced Wah-LAY, as he carefully points out early on) is all too aware of these potential pitfalls, and on his expertly crafted, exuberantly witty, and endlessly surprising new Mixtape About Nothing, he makes an art out of high-stepping lightly through a minefield. In short, things just ain't the same for (non)gangstas, and any rapper who finds himself uncomfortable inventing a storied criminal past has learned to step carefully.
