DC never had a rap scene so we can't expect Wale to create a sound and put the whole city on his back. Wale did his part by bringing light to where he claims he from and it's your job to grind and make the most of the attention just like Fat Trel and Shy Glizzy did.

[@drphot6050]

Also many ppl don't or didn't understand Wale's story and wanted him to do more than what he could

[@KingKongFresh00]

It’s a difference between putting someone on and complaining about getting put on. 1. The current crop of DMV rappers with deals, Not under Wale’s umbrella. 2. The bulk of the artists that were associated with Board of Administration didn’t blown up per se. Trel got his, but did a lot of grinding after he left BOA. 3. There are other DMV Rappers with deals. Ade, Goldlink, Logic, Rico Nasty, Oddisee… They just aren’t in the trap space. What Ant is saying is, Wale’s 10+ year run hasn’t been filled with a flood of rappers after him. Granted there’s others for sure. But the Yo Gotti’s, The Durk’s, The Lil Baby’s, The Gucci’s, they all brought others to the table and set plays for others to flourish. THAT hasn’t happened YET here in The DMV. So when random rappers say, “Wale put me on.” It’s more so, “Wale co-signed me and looked out.” And not, “Wale used his platform to get me a deal.” I get what Ant saying. Ant ain’t complaining about not being out on.

[@drphot6050]

Great points and I'll add that DC has never been known for having rap stars or a major label and Wale wasn't even wanted it was by default. DCTC aka Deacon Preizt would've been the best choice but he went the CHH wrote at that time and labels weren't supporting that yet.

Yo, Wale was killin' the game way before all these new cats started slidin' on opps. He was holdin' it down with the likes of Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick. He was the OG of the game, no need to flex that tough guy muscle, he was already killin' it with his bars.

[@officiallydreama4412]

Can someone help me understand why Wale is obligated to doing anything this guy is talking about 🤔🥴

[@svrfersx9547]

Why would you not turn up your city once your big?

[@shaqtamusPrime]

He not obligated ant just saying how yah co-signing a man who do t co-sign us. He used DC to get on but he from MD and he don’t give back to the city.

[@dhawk1952]

Wale will always get respect in DC for Nike Boots 🫶🏾 that IS the real DC… but it’s been 15 years, and I do agree with Ant that he could put more energy to assisting DC artists make it in the industry. However let’s not forget, Wale really from Maryland so it’s not like he’s connected to a neighborhood in the city anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️ & Shawn is right our artists don’t do enough on their own to make it if we’re being real. No Savage a perfect example 😢

[@cabbage1593]

Bruh the industry don’t even like Wale he has no pull, that’s a testament to want ant saying Wale put a lot of bad taste in ppls mouths n he’s the representation of this area so it’s just all bad fr. Gotta burn this shit from the root then regrow it so I ain’t mad at ant for doing what he doing

[@yessir8805]

@@cabbage1593 I respect Ant for his opinion but he helped ppl. He was on Shy glizzy first mixtape, helped him by bringing him on tour, this before Shy was anybody and before Chief Keef diss. Secondly he still was fucking with Fat Trel. He also stamped lightshow. He also put gogo in his music, dress and swag was us. Wale was on that fly shit before rappers was wearing SB dunks, slim jeans etc. Put respect on wale name.

[@cabbage1593]

@@yessir8805 Trust I used to be a fan but I know he’s done more bad than good deserves no respect honestly. I’ve been around artist who are bigger than Wale who have told me personally they have had bad experiences with him. And shit like that does nothing but hurt my city.

[@cabbage1593]

@@yessir8805 and all those ppl u named rather they didn’t take advantage or watever the case may be aren’t nowhere nobody cares bout those artist they have no respect in the industry no big relationship let alone successful careers so they not even “put on” fr lol we gotta be real

[@fukumean31]

I agree with everything you said except the part where you used No Savage as a example. How No Savage didn't do enough on his own when he got 1 million plus views on multiple songs? I think No Savage was on his way to blowing up, I think that mall situation set him back tho, if that whole mall situation didn't happen, it would have only been a matter of time, he would have started blowing up eventually

[@FoxEyes]

Ant really didn't want to say Shy Glizzy when he Shawn asked about who could be a representative for 5 years 🤣😂😂🤣

These rappers nowadays are ruining the culture. They think everybody gotta be “street” or “gangster “ in order to represent the city. There’s plenty of black men in Dc that can relate to wale. Not every black man is into that “street” nigga bs.
