Opening with “The Intro About Nothing,” Wale grounds his soul in family and introspective hunger. Seinfeld clips narrate the album, and the cliche white-guy voice is both jaded advisor and proponent of the devil’s logic. Here, he rants about his frustrations with hip-hop gatekeepers not letting him be the classic he believes himself to be, he transcends the empty symbols of urban flashiness without condescension, and is at his best in poignant tributes to the feminine in his life. Gospel chants intersperse the post-hyphy drums and heavy, minimal basslines. The soulful production, harnessing plenty of live instrumentals, mixes well with the lingering hints of MMG production. Whereas his previous album had sounded at certain points like other MMG releases, “The Album About Nothing” is thoroughly Wale. It does not store any personal data.“The Album About Nothing” continues a trend in his series of works about “nothing.” Besides capitalizing the same pronoun in front of every song title, it clearly differs from his other MMG produced works.
