The Intro About Nothing by WALE published on. It worked better the first time, but much. The Album About Nothing by WALE published on. Playing off the ideas and structure of his 2008 mixtape The Mixtape About Nothing, rapper Wale's fourth studio album uses the television sitcom Seinfeld as the framework for an introspective and autobiographical effort, and as odd as that sounds, this is the second time it has worked. Throughout the second half, Wale’s attention focuses in on various music-industry pitfalls on tracks like “The Artistic Integrity” and “The Hype,” respitting Method Man’s first radio hit on “The Remake of a Remake,” and reserving space for a highly touted Lil Wayne guest-spot on “The Cliché Lil Wayne Guest Feature. Listen to The Album About Nothing, a playlist curated by WALE on desktop and mobile. On “The Kramer,” Wale bookends a discussion of the volatile nature of the N-word in a rap music context with samples of Michael Richards’s infamous comedy club freakout (and his unsmiling apology).
Wale kicks things off doing his best Jerry-as-rapper shtick over the familiar slap-bass theme song-posing such thought-provoking questions as “What’s the deal with these ringtones?” From there, THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING blends Wale guest appearances (alongside the Roots) and freestyles (over Jay-Z’s “Roc Boys”) with a number of concept songs loosely based on dialogues from the sitcom. MC known as Wale showcases his mic skills over 18 inspired tracks on his Seinfeld-themed mixtape.
