Wale Performs at the State of The Union
Wale
On Tuesday, January 12, 2016, a historic
moment for hip hop and history took place; With Wale being the first rapper to perform
for the 2016 State of the Union. Introduced by former 106 & Park host and
actor Terrence J, Wale did in fact turn the State of the Union into a concert
lol. Performing 3 songs "DC Chillin," "White Sneakers," and "Love Hate," Wale
represented DC and hip hop proudly. What a way to begin the final year of
Barack Obama presidency. I loved it! Part of me was like ok the fact that his
DJ have a laptop with the infamous stickers in the middle of the stage and Wale
referring to the White House as "this joint" is a little hood, but
it's us, it shows our culture. Wale was himself and didn't change just because
he was at the White House and I loved that. Not only was the performance great,
but I also applauding Wale for refraining from using the N word during the
performance. High five because I know I would've forgotten lol. I wish he
could've performed more, especially off of his classic album Ambition. He
could've performed "DC or Nothing" ooooh I love that song, but hey I'm not mad at
the songs he chose, very appropriate. Nice job Wale, this is the exact promotion
you needed in order for people like me to remember your hip hop stature.
