The fact he had MexManny remix “Bad” and replace Tiara Thomas with Rihanna only increased those concerns. ![]() I would just as soon refer to Jay Soul’s “Ambition” reviewas a starting point because it addresses my biggest concern about Wale as an artist – whether or not he’s “fast food rap” that is quick and enjoyable but lacks the minerals and vitamins, irons and the niacins to be good for you. I know we tend to be self-referential on RR at times, but it’s almost impossible to review Wale’s “The Gifted” in a vacuum anyway.
