Attention Deficit Love

I just want to say that I now I am late to this but I am in love with the Wale Album Attention Deficit. I have had a couple tracks off it for about a year, but in preparation to see him on Sunday I bought the whole album. I am listening to it and falling in love with it the same way that I fell in love with Kanye West's College Dropout, which is one of my desert island albums. I was also late to that party, not fully immersing myself in the album until 6 months after its release. I listened to that record by playing a couples songs a few times that I really liked, then I would move on to a couple more, than I would re-listen to the whole thing again, and then it just became my go to album for everything. This pattern is reoccurring with Wale. I started by playing "Let It Loose" and "Pretty Girls" in repetition. Then it was "TV in the Radio" and "Shades" and this morning I'm obsessed with "Contemplate" and "Diary". I have a feeling that tonight while I'm doing laundry and cleaning my place the whole album will get a listening. I'm not going to come out and say that this album is going to be my new College Dropout but it is definitely holding my attention for this week. Also, Wale has this really versatile voice that is sometimes raspy and I think, is that Weezy? Then other times it sounds much more like Kanye. I just can't wait until Sunday when I get to see what he's like onstage.
