My dude Wale released the video for "Pretty Girls" today on 106, but I'm tired of that song. Sue me. I'm more excited over the release of his video for "My Sweetie", a tribute to his Nigerian heritage. I bought the hard-copy of his CD, come to find out this track was reserved for iTunes or something of the sort. Salty can'eem describe how I felt when someone played it for me, and I didn't know what it was. Dope track though and I can appreciate how he takes pride in his background. Peep the video below:
Oh and after I heard it, I knew it sounded familiar, so I did TONS of investigation (by tons, I mean about 30 minutes) trying to figure out what the sample came from. He sampled an old classic, Bunny Mack, "Let Me Love You" and stayed true to the original sound. Check that out, too:
CHEA!
