At long last here is the video for Wale's first single, "Chillin," featuring Lady GaGa. I've heard no shortage of hate for this joint, but if you ask me this ish is a hit without going too pop (even with Gaga on the hook). Video directed by Chris Robinson. Wale's debut album, Attention: Deficit, is coming soon.

Selln’ out for real
i’ve been listening to this by myself for three weeks and i’ve never thought once that wale was selling out. is anyone listening to that beat? the way it drops in is amazing.
I’m a huge Wale fan and I love this song. I can understand some people hating on the fact that Lady Gaga sounds like MIA or Santigold on this, but you can’t knock Wale’s lyrics or the beat. I’m pumped for Attention:Deficit. DMV/NC stand up!!!
wut does selling out even mean anymore? because lady gaga isnt a hiphop artist he aint allowed to have her on his song???
Oh shit that’s where I buy sneakers! haha
it’s funny how as soon as these new rappers get a penny over a dollar they go from being underground to pop.. message to wale, dont forget where you come from homie…
this shit is sellin out because:
-the dude raps about nothing but cash..the whole track. and this dude was rappin about cooler shit before…this beat is cool and even lady gaga is straight..but im hearin nothin interesting from wale with this
wale has so many haters
It’s kinda weak
it’s a Swagger Like Us “swagger jack” Wale loses for this
Come on now every rapper has sold out. Thats how you get on. Thats how you survive. Biggy has sold out, 2pac has sold out, Ice Cube has sold out. Every rapper has sold out atleast once. The differenc is how often and how low. This actually makes sense.
Let me break it down. Most new artists come out with a light dance joint. Its kinda like a celebration of their making it and often showing people a little glimps of who they are. Rappers often use a lyrical dance joint to display their lyrical ablity. He clearly displays that. So with Lady GaGa he is trying to use her to listen to him through her.
Its all business. “And if you cant respect that then your whole perspective is wack”
why does everybody dig him so much? Is his old stuff dope? I have heard like random tracks of his, but the last two tracks I heard up here were not too impressive.
i thinks its funny cuz the whole track he is sayn d.c. chillin..when it actuality the video was shot in BOSTON haha
wow, people. you already know how the game goes….just run with it. the minute a negro gets a lil successful, you start pointing out that he aint wearing the same dingy tshirts, or busted sneakers, or raggedy honda accord- so he’s a sell out. get outta here. wale is a good rapper.
#1 Theres no Georgia Ave or Bens Chilli Bowl in Boston. Get your facts straight. Most criticisms usually come from failed Back Packers turned critics. The boy is doing him. You do you and your videos might end up on here.
this is official right here!!!
Wale is not selling out he is just gettin more folks to buy in…….as much as we love this hip hop shit it’s still about eatin what you want….so just do you
Yo he ain’t selling out nothing y’all…stop the hate….just quit it man…shiiiiiiit….He’s gettin it in man….just like 50 Cent….Do your thing Wale….We all see you!…
Nah I dun think so homes…
Hey Wale…..”Get It”
check out pm-live. com and check out the news blog section it will let u kno whea it was shot..and im not hatin on him
the video is tight but I wish he would’ve done it with the original version of the song(minus lady g)…… anyways big ups to the ambassador of rap!!!!!
