Wale – Wordplay
I am going through this mixtape track by track, posting all the mp3s with my comments. Does ever song really deserve this much attention? Probably not. Does the mixtape really deserve this kind of attention? Duh.
This is the intro track off of “Back to the Feature,” and it opens with an explanation for the delay. Whatever, all water under the bridge. Let’s just get this started already.
When I first heard this song, I thought the beat was an old Numark/Cut Chemist joint, it would fit PERFECTLY on a Jurassic 5 album. Funky samples, an unconventional chorus, and a bassline that is laidback yet still manages to bang. This definitely isn’t my favorite track, but it’s solid.
Favorite line? “Ya’ll riddles don’t tickle a bit/Ya’ll similes is literal shit”
