    Although Wale's got so much to say, he often says it over the same tempo, and if it weren't for "The Girls on Drugs" (rescued from another Seinfeld-themed mixtape, Festivus) and a couple other kicking moments, the musical spectrum here would be narrow. Still, it's a minor complaint as The Album About Nothing is bigger, bolder, and better than expected.

    Wale uses Seinfeld's advice not just as a gimmick but as a jumping-off point.

    The soulful production, harnessing plenty of live instrumentals, mixes well with the lingering hints of MMG production.
