Wale Talks About Jay-Z And His Grind To Deliver Ambition Album

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 02:26 PM PST

Wale dropped his album Ambitiion at the top of the month and sold 160K copies in the first week.  He talks with Billboard about the advice he received from Jay-Z and how he went hard to get his album Ambition to the top of the charts to peak at #2 spot its first week.

Jay-Z, essentially, is my business adviser, Him, my manager, Rich Kleinman and Roc Nation's John Meneilly. I know Jay has a personal place in his heart for Ambition. I remember one time I was on the phone with Jay, asking him, 'What did I do [wrong]? What can I do differently?' He was like, 'Maybe you just didn't come with that single. You made a solid first album. But you didn't come up with that single.' That just added fuel to my fire."

He also spoke on his relentless grind and how Ambition, which bowed at number two on the charts, has inspired him to work even harder.

"Rappers used to take pride in being the best or becoming the best. Now they just talk about who has the most swag. But who wants to be the best?, Come to the table with your albums. I nailed it this time. I'll keep busting my ass until . . . you're going to have to respect me. I love hip-hop so much, and I'm really a humble dude. We're all cocky inside our records-because that's how rap is."
