Wale releases “Attention Deficit”
Wale, the widely-acclaimed D.C. rapper, has finally dropped his debut album, Attention Deficit.

Analog Giant: Wale featuring Lady Gaga video.
Analog Giant, a blog I tend to like for the most part, posted this monstrosity of a video. To be fair to them, they didn’t endorse it at all. This is a Wale and Lady Gaga collabo. I think my head just snapped thinking about it. Up until this point I’ve been a fan of […]
