Which is just as well, since the whole thing is a white-noise mess aimed straight at the lowest common denominator. Wale drops some lazy verses while Cudi probably didn’t even get out of bed to do the chorus, which sounds like it was recorded by some teenagers with an iPhone and an autotune app. This is seriously some uninspired shit.

Has it really been two years since Wale cropped his URB cover image for the cover of his first Seinfeld-inspired Mixtape About Nothing (itself a much anticipated follow-up to 100 Miles Running). Back then, Wale was another buzz rapper with a major label deal a brewin’, while Seinfeld was shilling for HP computers and his own B-Movie. Now, Wale has done the debut album release thing on Interscope, and Seinfeld is running The Marriage Ref. Ok, maybe not the sea change one might expect, but at least we have the MC back where we like him. Rapping about the absence of anything. …MORE
