Sixshot.Com: What’s good man?

Wale: Everything is good man, how are you?

Sixshot.Com: I’m good bro. Let me ask you, the last time we spoke you weren’t signed to Interscope yet. I’m sure every label out there had offers on the table. Why did you decide to go with Interscope?

Wale: It’s the home to a lot of great artists like Game and 50 Cent. Everybody is the best at what they do, even Soulja Boy to an extent. They put a lot into pushing their artists. And Jimmy Iovine is one of the best in the business.

Sixshot.Com: Now a lot of people regard you as a Kanye West type rapper but I really don’t hear that in your music. What do you think?

Wale: Well why do you say that. What do you think? What do you think is different?

Sixshot.Com: Well I think the content is completely different and I consider you a true MC. I think Kanye is a good rapper because he’s a great musician.

Wale: (Laughs) Well thanks man, I appreciate that. I think it’s a visual thing that gets the people confused and makes them see similarities in Kanye and me. I’m into the Louis Vuitton and all that. I’m into high fashion. A lot of rappers just throw on seven million chains and all that. I grew up on Biggie and Jay. Kanye is a little older. I think he’s like 32 or 33. I think I just represent a more youthful type of thing. I’m not the type to try and portray this gangster image or this kingpin image and neither does Kanye so I think that’s where the comparisons come from.

Sixshot.Com: What should the fans be checking for Wale?

Wale: Mixtape coming soon. Album coming soon. And just keep you’re eyes on Wale. Wale always coming. (Laughs)
