This is the first track on Wale’s 2008 Mixtape About Nothing, a mixtape composed of songs all thematically linked to the show Seinfeld and composed of samples from the show, of which Wale is an ardent fan.
Seinfeld was pitched and described as a “show about nothing,” and had one plotline within the...
[Intro:]
(10Deep!)
Swagger
This is a mixtape about... nothing. Not on drugs
If you bear with me, you might see the undertone of the undertonéd message that's at hand—at the— you know that I'm talkin' bout? Yeah
Look
[Verse 1]
Hmm, what's the deal with this rap stuff?
Since Napster the sales been crashin', and
Since Napster the game's been flooded by has-beens
And never-will-be ringtone-rappers
Hmm, what's the deal with these ringtones?
Niggas buy ringers—can't pay their bill though
Thus contributing to ongoing credit
Issues, their issues pathetic, please listen to me
Hmm, what's the deal with these issues?
Magazines who, at times, seem to misuse
My time with their half-witted reviews
And the blogger has their reviews in rear-view
Because he made his decision
A month prior when it leak on the Internet
So now the net sales quivers
The record sold slips and the drop is now imminent, yeah
What's the deal with the Nets, though?
Like being in the east ain't enough hell for 'em
Two Carters, I thought it'd get better, but
They're getting rid of Kidd, like a miscarriage
Hmm, what's the deal with the DMV?
Niggas is unifying as we speak
And as we speak niggas hatin' me
While they hate me, they sendin' beats for a fuckin' feature
Hmm, yeah, and what's the deal with these rap features?
Half-witted rappers should of stuck to grass pushin'
I'm glad pushin' that envelope, it's mad open
It shows I know a bit—Rasputia
And, what's the deal with Rasputia?
I mean, Eddie Murphy, swang, gettin' married
He got a wife, ex-wife, and a baby mother
In the same year, but I ain't judgin'
Hmm, what's the deal with these niggas judgin'?
I moved from DC in 1990-somethin'
I got a number one spot, who gon' take it from me?
And I ain't never left—that's why I'm makin' money
Hmm, what's the deal with makin' money?
And why black niggas can't get enough of it?
But too much gets you viewed in the news, youngin'
For shootin' done to you or we're losin' money
Shoot young, and what's the deal with these little youngin's?
And True Religions make your butt look ugly, youngin'
Let me put you on the joke, I'll put you on the frank
And tell me what you is, can't tell me what you ain't
I can tell you that this tape
Collection of freestyles that I just want to make
And not a single feature except Lil Wayne
;Cause everybody else did it—I had to save face
And if you love substance, you'll love Wale
But most niggas love nothin' so I made this tape
Get it?
Most niggas love nothin' so I made this tape—gone!
