Wale brings the nerds a new joint produced by Cool & Dre (check the interview if you haven’t). At first listen, I almost shut it off once I heard autotune. But Ilistened some more, and was bobbin’ my head(pause) after a quick 30 seconds. Wale plays off of Audio Two’s Top Billin, while Cool & Dre creatively flip a Steam sample (Na Na Hey Hey…study your samples nerds). Definitely a joint I’ll be bangin’ for the next couple of months, autotune and all.
Wale - Chillin’
Update: Sorry nerds, had to bring down the link for 2 reasons:
1) I was asked politely
2) I respect artists. Major labels, well….that’s a different story
Here is what Wale and his manager have to say about the track:
First of all, THIS SONG IS UNFINISHED. Second of all, this song was recorded 6 months ago, before “Arab Money” came out. THIS IS WHY LEAKING UNFINISHED SONGS IS NOT A GOOD LOOK. I’ve sent emails to every single person who has posted this song and most have obliged in taking it down. Thank you for having enough respect for the music to do that. I’m reading feedback, both good and bad, on the song and it’s just so frustrating. Imagine if a scene from like, STAR WARS, leaked with no special effects on them. Or a rehearsal scene from just a regular movie. People can complain all they want about piracy but that is not the issue here. The issue is spreading demo material and passing it off as finished. Once the song’s done…shit post it everywhere, I don’t care. So please, if you are a Wale fan, please, if you see the song, leave a comment telling them to take it down. I have seen that this internet thing is actually far more civilized than you would imagine. And saying, “well everyone else is doing it” does not make it right. Come on, your parents taught you better! Only YOUUUUUUUUUUUU can save hip hop.
