Wale maintains that fans are only interested in materialistic things rather than when he raps with actual meaning. He addresses this issue in many of his songs, on his UStream, and publicly many times. He is disappointed in that fact, but sometimes feeds his fans who prefer that stuff, as he rapped about things like that many times on the MMG Album “Self Made”.
Here, ‘Le continues to display his amazing talent of wordplay:
After the eighth of an ounce worth of weed he is going to smoke, he is going to be extremely high. The wordplay is that you start high school after eighth grade, the last year of middle school. Get it?
This is a refernce to the current mainstream radio scene. On most of the radio stations; club bangers, pop songs, etc. dominate the airwaves, and real rap hardly ever makes it on their. Wale is posing the question: “Would you rather be a mainstream sellout or stick with real hip hop?”
A synonym for “loquacious” is talkative. This is a very good play on words here:
When talkative(loquacious) people talk, if what they say was written out, there would be a lot of commas included.
Wale compares this to his bank statements, which always include many commas because he has a lot of money.
He went shopping and saw that the item “Talk” is still low-priced on the shelves…nice metaphor about the commom saying that means it’s easy to talk about something but harder to actually do it. He played a bit with the "cheap” part.
DMV is the DC/Maryland/Virginia region. Wale reps the DMV region. Along Wale’s rise to fame, he has tried to bring his fellow DMV rappers to the top with him. He frequently features DMV rappers Black Cobain, Tre of UCB, and more on his tracks, much like Weezy tried to do for his Hollygrove artists on Inkredible
If she’s wearing such a tight dress, just give her some fancy champagne and you’ll get her in bed…
Wale has always said that he wants a girl who support herself, that he’s looking for an ambitious girl to have a relationship with. Ladies: Listen to Ambitious Girl for guidelines on how to get ‘Le.
We all know Wale loves his Polo, and his shirt matches the haze he’s blowing!
He is actually referring to the Ralph Lauren Purple Label.
