My first talk went really well last night. I put together a powerpoint presentation however, they didn’t have the proper media hook up so I kinda just winged it. There was a group of about 30 students and they all seemed very interested which was nice. I gave a brief chronology of my experience with Wale from the beginning up until now. I then presented them with my Phase Zero pyramid (see below) and explained Phase Zero v. tastemakers v. early adopters v. followers. I explained that if they are the ones that people are always asking about the hot new shit, or if they feel like they are always up on something before everyone else, then they are probably a tastemaker and rather just look at that characteristic as a novelty, they should follow their instincts and try to incorporate that into their career after college. I told them that I was in college just 4 years ago and had no idea what it meant to “follow my dreams” and always thought it sounded corny when I was told that, however, the people who usually say that, are the ones who followed their dreams and until you do it, you have no idea what that means. I plan on refining my talk and trying to do this more often, as I think it would have done me good to hear someone like myself speak when I was in college. If you are interested in booking me to speak at your school, you can email booking@elitaste.com. I will post some video from the talk soon.

KILLER WALE
By: Alex Rush
Posted: 9/24/08
How is it that the Washington area, a region with a rich and diverse musical history, ranging from go-go to jazz, has never had a breakout hip-hop star? Up-and-coming rapper Wale, who calls himself the “ambassador of rap for the capital,” is determined to put the region on the rap map, and he’s performing on the campus in the Grand Ballroom at the Stamp Student Union Thursday to show he can represent Washington better than those in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“The whole mindset of D.C. artists need[s] to be changed,” said Wale, who was born Olubowale Victor Akintimehin to Nigerian immigrants. “They just need to realize it’s possible to make it. I’ve always felt confident and known I could do it.” (more…)
