Wale: His 10 Best Tracks You Need To Hear

By Rich D. Latta II /

10. Lotus Flower Bomb Feat Miguel - Ambition

Production: 8 Flow/Rhymes: 9 Message: 8 Notable Lyrics: €œFlower bomb, let me guess your favourite fragrance/And you got that bomb, huh, I'm tryna detonate you/No disrespecting baby, just tryna make you smile/Try to keep my spirits up, that's why I lays it down€ This was Wale€™s true introduction to a lot of his fans today. While Wale had a strong male fanbase at the time, this is when the switch was made as his first album didn€™t offer a ton in the way of relatable lines for females. This song had women storming into Victoria€™s Secret requesting €œLotus Flower Bomb€ (such is the name of the fragrance). With Miguel singing the chorus, Wale rode a smooth beat and a ton of double entendre style lyrics into the hearts of women everywhere and set the stage for his second album Ambition. In many ways it's Wale€™s €œExcuse Me Miss.€ Wale and Miguel matched Jay-Z and Pharrell€™s antics in wooing the fairer sex, while downplaying all other potential competition; the message is clear ladies - Wale is coming for you, and you have no defence.
