9th Wonder Comes To Wale's Defense Over His Sound

Producer 9th Wonder breaks it down.. I agree with em 100%

Superproducer 9th Wonder came to the defense of Maybach Music Group's Wale. Some have criticized the D.C.-based rhymer for abandoning his earlier aesthetic as an underground rapper, but Wonder says that fans have to expand their minds and rappers have to expand their sounds.



“People gotta understand that if you wanna sell a mass amount of records, your style is going to change,” 9th explained. “If you want to sell 2-3 million records…you’re almost considered pop if you sell that many records."


"It didn’t used to be like that," he continued. "But now, if you sell 3 million records you’re a pop artist. Period. Whether you rap or not, you’re listed in another demographic. In order to attract those people, you have to change your sound. It’s just up to you if you want to do that or not.”

I dunno.. age old debate.. I just pay attention to the music..
