Wale: His 10 Best Tracks You Need To Hear

4. Chain Music €“ Ambition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMkCqyoBcuY Production: 10 Lyrics/Flow: 8 Message: 9 Notable Lyrics: €œKeep a gold chain, h*es changed, I didn't/They say that karats help your vision/But somehow it made them listen/No this ain't silver, this is my dilemma/Arrogant when I finish/I came from humble beginnings/So it's nothing to finish/I put my hundred percent in/Put my pride in the pen, cuh/And modify your opinion/Trying to give them light and a message/But you rather have some f**king V.V.S.'s/She said I'm charming and I meant it/But she was talking about my pendant/I got geechi on her, came back with thirty chains/Now she attentive, I bet she listen to everything€ With a beat like this Wale couldn€™t go wrong. On top of that, he gave us a message, and let us clown stupid people with him all at the same time. Wale is intelligent enough to dangle the €œchain€ (i.e him rapping about money and wearing jewellery) while feeding us substance in his work. This entire song is a parody of women finally noticing him, all while he was the same guy the entire time. With a Rick Ross sample on the chorus this song killed the internet, radio and in clubs. In hindsight it€™s an update of Nike Boots, but with superior production. Where people thought the song was about one thing on the chorus, the verses held far deeper meaning.
