Music, Wale: ‘Cuz I’m African’
August 20, 2008 2 Comments
Lil Wayne raps about being ‘tougher than Nigerian hair’ (on his megahit “A Millie”), Wale brags about “smelling like fufu.” Who knows what he’s talking about? Probably Wale, the D.C. rapper beloved by mainstream hipsters (think Pitchfork, The Fader, Complex) and who guested on The Legendary Roots Crew’s “Rising Down” (this is a link to the video of that song). Other background: he also a minor hit with his “Nike Boots Remix”).
He’s the son of Nigerian immigrants. And he raps about it. MP3 and analysis via Cocaine Blunts.]
