Riff: Wale – “Vanity”

Jun 24, 2013

Niggas dying over process/Bitches dying for attention/Niggas drop it just to plop em/Is it really that important, is it really that serious?

from Vanity lyrics by Wale

There’s a thin line between fantasy and reality, and Wale seems to have identified it without the aid of hindsight. He see’s how ridiculous a carnival mainstream rap is, and can’t help but question the rigmarole of it all. Sound inquiries, but he may not like the impending answers; [LISTEN].
