Wale Debates Best DatPiff Mixtapes, Everything Is A Lot + Will Packer on What Makes a Movie a Hit
4/20/20262 hr 22 min
Two great conversations, one episode. First up, Wale pulls up to the Hook. We debate the best DatPiff era mixtape, get into Wale being caught in the middle of Jay-Z dissing his hometown Wizards, and settle why Baltimore is not the DMV. We also walk through each era of Wale’s career, from the blog era to MMG to the space he’s in now with Everything Is A Lot. Then Will Packer joins us and has the room in tears right away telling his side of a hilarious story involving Melo and Kevin Hart. From there, we get into how he’s made so many hit movies, and with his new love story Me, You, & Tuscany on the way, we put Will On the Hook to debate the best Black rom-coms and love films.
