TMTD-TV My favorite music videos, rare movies, live chat and general tomfoolery. And every once in a while you might just catch me working on something live in the studio. On occasion we'll be live from different shows, parties, and other messes I've gotten myself into. PLEASE NO INTERVIEWS.. Not even on Sundays. Thanks.


An alternative to TMTD-TV, What you'll find here is really more random stuff that I come across wherever I am, captured by the trusty (albeit with terrible battery life) Nokia N95. Very Very Random.

    I’m so happy my man finally got his deal! I know he didn’t get anything stupid either cuz he’s been waiting on this to do it right. Made my day, way to be on top of it blaze!

  9. Nice. This might be a pipe dream, but let’s just hope they don’t do him like every other rapper that’s been signed and has real talent.

  14. Very very good news, and well deserved. I can’t lie though, as pumped as I am for Wale, I do get a little nervous when I hear these things.

  15. Congrats homie, this is just the beginning though, dude just entered a whole new arena where you gotta fight even harder to be heard and respected. You’ve got my prayers cuz these days getting a deal is like a curse lol but we’ll see.

    Dont see whats the big deal about Wale. He’s and average rapper if you ask me, but then again his town has never had a rapper blow up on the commercial seen so I do see the support. But as an avid fan of hip hop since the days of Video Music Box (1988) to present I dont believe he is going to accomplish what his fans want him too, I just feel that his sound (go-go) couldend up in the same position that crump music is in right now non-existent. You have to ask yourself, look at the succesful rappers in the past and present, Snoop is from the west coast but everyone from down south to midwest to the east coast could relate to his music and the same could be said about TI. Now can you say the say the same for Wale does he have something that every coast could feel and or relate too? My answer is I dont think so. Then again its just my opinion an opinion from a hiphop fan who doesn’t subscribe to anything else but good old hiphop music weather it be east, west, south or north.

    haha~~nice discussion. hey, i causually see the woman who realateed to Spitzer on a free dating site named intimatemingle.com i can’t upload the pics now, or you wil be surprised. so i will phone her.

  35. That’s that man’s opinion…I’m not from DC but I lived there and Wale does not define the best that DC has to offer I swear. He’s not even the essence of DC he’s more on some fashion hippie DC trendy shit. I prefer that Dark DC NW, SW, SE, NE “THE DISTRICT, THE UREA” rap…Just my opinion. He sounds like he’s from PG County anyway…

    why don’t people from the DMV just stop hating? TI isn’t from Atlanta, he’s from Bankhead but the whole area embraces him. Bun B isn’t from Houston, he’s from Port Arthur but the whole area embraces him. Ludacris moved to ATL when he was 21 from Chicago and dude NEVER mentions Chicago and nobody seems to care. Wale grew up in DC and moved to Maryland and reps both, what’s the problem? And “fashion hippie DC trendy shit”? Just cuz dude can dress and doesn’t wear Mchunu and Nike Boots doesn’t mean he’s a hippie. Kyle, go to your fridge, finish that last bottle of Haterade Arctic Shatter, wake up in the morning and try not hating.

  37. You wanna know why I invest all my money into haze and into dope? Cause right now I’m currently a slave for Interscope.

    Oh well I guess it won’t be thaaat bad right?

  38. Thats dope,congrats… I just went to the myspace… interscope… sheesh. make it happen tho. and to the lame dude usin my other name… come out the closet on ya own time.

  39. nice fo Wale

    Why dont you get rid of the term HATING out your vocabulary and replace it with opinion you asshole. Thats someones opinion not hate but if its hate maybe its pbjective hate and mayhave some truth too it. As far as those rappers you mentioned Wale should not be putinto the same categorie as a Luda, TI and Bun B for the main fact that they are 200% more talented then Wale. As far as embrace look at NY some embrace Jay-Z some embrace Nas both from NY but people tend to embrace someone that they can relate to in some sort of way or take a likeing9 too. I still dont see that in Wale at all and when his album drops your going to be the same way bitching saying INTERSCOPE HATING ON WALE lol. Aint nobody hating asshole, just not feeling him like that.

  42. Word…He’s down with Mark Ronson? That sounds like a good project is on the way.
