I noticed that a lot of people are talking about Wale. I listen to hip hop all the time and trust me Wale should not be jumbled in the same category as some hip hop artist. I mean this is a very good way. It is shocking to me that Wale is put in the same category as an entertainer like Soulja Boy.
I didnt go to the concert today but my friend went. He is a huge Wale fan and he was disappointed by the crowd size. He mentioned that he thought a lot of people werent there because Wale is still an underground artist, but I actually think thats incorrect. Wale has been featured in numerous magazines, has collaborated with various artists and in my eyes is fairly well known. I think people didnt come out today because people may not view him as an entertainer.
I think it is very important to distinguish between a music entertainer and a music artist. Soulja Boy is an entertainer. Wale is an artist. Entertainers can make a crowd hype but an artist can make a crowd think. Wale does not need to get up on the stage and do some crazy dance, where as Soulja Boy would be booed if he wasnt dancing. I am not saying that the two do not overlap, but being an entertainer doesnt make you an artist.
In my eyes comparing Wale to someone like Soulja Boy is like comparing Lauryn Hill to Kesha!
On another note I just wanted to point out that it seems like Justin Beiber is becoming another Justin Timberlake and that really disturbs me
