More About Nothing

Anyone who’s seen *Seinfeld* knows that underneath the show’s razor wit is a mild misanthropy. So it was only natural that Wale would be the one to finally merge that beloved sitcom with hip-hop, as he did on his breakthrough project, 2008’s *The Mixtape About Nothing*. That record’s sequel, *More About Nothing*, crystallizes the combination of biting humor and emotional availability that turned Wale into one of rap’s most three-dimensional stars. The record finds him at turns ambitious and acidic, tackling heartbreak on “The Breakup Song” and those who doubt the rarity of his limited-edition Nikes on “The Posse Cut (Who Don’t)” with equal alacrity—and with the aid of a studio audience, which seems to laugh along with him.

After his major-label flop, Wale returns to the scene of his greatest mixtape success with another "Seinfeld"-referencing collection.
