He was the new age Phife as far as sports references then he kinda chilled on it. He had a lot of fly shit with him in the beginning. 100 miles and running tape sold me on him

Bro seel is body

2024 and we still here

Wale is super underappreciated. This man used Fred Biletnikoff, Olowokandi, and Vlade Divac in one verse along with countless other clever sports references. Not every song needs clever wordplay, and some artists get by on just their delivery alone. But its sad " Wah, Wah, Wah, bitch I'm lil baby" is more talked about than these kinda songs lol.

God damn, 10 years ago already???

Wow. Wale went off in this one. His sport refrences made me smile. Clever wordplay for sports fans. If watch sports then you should know that this track was made for you. This made me feel happy for some reason. Tight track. Wale keep doin work

Wale is the king of sports refrences!!! such a great lyricist

Still incredible all these years later. Still remember the day this came out. So many sports references on a crazy beat.

Punch lines on point as always...👏👏

Saw this in Concert. Wale and Big Sean in Detroit. This record dropped and people went crazy #ambition

Wale doin it big af and still underrated

Wale has the greatest sports lines OF ALL TIME!

It's cool to see Wale spread his knowledge of sports. Man has a lot of talent, and he knows a lot about a lot.

09-11 Wale was a different breed

Poetry up there with Shakespeare, Bachman, Bradbury, Picasso. Beautiful art. Ty for upload.

This video is great and so is the song.

this only has one million views?

Nigeria, Africa stand up. Wale

The name of the song in the beginning called No Days Off. Its on his album "Ambition".
