6. Bad Feat Tiara Thomas €“ The Gifted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TIIu9CERgI Production: 7 Lyrics/Flow: 9 Message: 10 Notable Lyrics: €œBad girls ain't no good, and the good girls ain't no fun/And the hood girls want a smart n***a, college girls all want a thug/So it seems we fiend what we don't need/Got a thing for a queen who know when to leave/I ain't bout to judge you, don't judge me/You ain't gotta really sing about your rap sheet€ Bad first appeared on the mixtape €œFolarin€, and later found a home on The Gifted. Wale tackles the broad subject of wanting things that you can€™t or should not have. In this case it€™s a less than perfect woman who has never made love. Wale is willing to overlook such things, while the woman warns that, €œeven if she€™s good in bed, she€™s still bad for him.€ Wale created an honest piece of work, which a lot of people could relate to, terming it as €œtrying to discover one€™s self through intimacy.€ Most rappers, especially in this day and age, tend to stick to safer subjects, but Wale often opens up his soul and is unafraid of any backlash that may come his way. This song became his best charting song ever and stayed in heavy rotation on many radio stations throughout the United States.
