Wale’s major label debut Attention Deficit finally hit the streets…and it was well worth the wait. The album cuts are far better than the radio singles. “Mama Told Me,” a soulful, go-go inspired track speaks of the grind involved in making it to the top. In “Shades,” Wale critiques the light-skin/dark-skin division in the black community, and learns to accept and appreciate his beautiful dark skin. Attention Deficit goes deep, it’s not a superficial debut album about rims, hoes, and ice. Nor is it an attempt at faux-hipster hip hop. Wale gives authentic, soulful, thoughtful lyricism.

This album is so good, I would actually purchase it. I mean like physically go to the store and buy the CD, not download digital files from itunes or Imeem. It’s seriously that good.
