Wale recently gushed about his new “FRIEND” Solange in an interview with Honeymag.com. He also gave his thoughts on relationships, having female fans and his new album “Attention Deficit”.

Wale on relationships:
“It’s about the intangibles in 2010,” he says. “The superficial sh*t is cool – like, yeah she can f*ck, or she got a big butt. That’s the x factor. We’re not going to have sex 24/7 so we need to be friends. I want a girl who you could hijack all her extra artificial cosmetics for a week and not even notice. Somebody who’s smart and can stimulate me mentally because when you on the road it’s not like you can look at ‘em or touch ‘em. I can’t stand girls who don’t challenge their intellect. It don’t hurt if she can sing a little bit.”
On his female fans:
“I think people try too hard to market to females,” says Wale. “They insult their intelligence. I feel like there are going to be a lot of females who miss out on some great music on my album just because I wasn’t a huge radio artist.”

His Album, Attention Deficit:
“This is my biography,” Wale says of Attention: Deficit, which leaked a couple of weeks before its official date. “It’s honest. Raw emotion. It’s close to me. That’s why part of me will be a little offended if it doesn’t get heard. I don’t want people to take lack of sales as me taking a hit. This is something different. My label is letting me put out an album with a single that released seven months ago. We’re not going for first week sales. We only shipping out 30,000 of them. We’re going for that grind. We’re showing people that you can build a fanbase the old fashioned way.”

Wale on Solange:
I do love her,” he admits of Solange, flashing a Cheshire. “We’re friends. She’s amazing. She’s a good person. Any single mother contributing to society the way she does — I got a lot of love for them. She’s got to do a lot on her own and raise a young black man in this day and age, so my hat goes off to her. She’s definitely an anomaly. And the way she can do that and manage to do the same things that I complain about having to do.”

His affection is as obvious as a set of flushed cheeks, and impossibly adorable. Wale, the former mixtape rapper from inner city DC, is borderline giddy. “Did you interview Solange about me?” Wale asks. He’s sprawled across his bed; head practically buried in the pillow. “Did she smile when you mentioned my name?”

Did Wale just get giddy like a little school girl??? Damn… Solange Got YOU!!! Hmmm… We must admit, it was cute.

Maybe she can get a record hit now with him and become relevant for something other being Beyonce’s sister.

He’s not the most articulate, but he has some good points. Hope things work out for the two of them. It’s always nice to see a black couple in love. Too much swirl attention on Bossip anyway.

“Contributing to society the way she does” what exactly does Solange contribute to our society? All I could think of is her relentless efforts in encouraging young black women to sell their bodies for fame, and money. Unfortunately there are ignorant people who look at Solenges satanic lifestyle and perceive her as some sort of role model who should be placed on a pedestal but the reality is she is cursed and lost and we must not look up to her.

He might be the next Kanye personality wise…I haven’t listen to his music, but I’m really sick of people who say they want someone to stimulate them mentally…I think that is a load of crap

@ sami

In what ways does solange encourage woman to sale their bodies? I think she is unique and far from the other female artist out here who exploit themselves to sale records. She’s not perfect. Yes she is a single mother, but she’s taking care of her responsibilities. I like them as a couple and I think people should lay off of solange. With all this nursery rhyme music and hollywierd *****s running around we can use some originality

@Sami wtf are you talking about? Satanic lifestyle? And when the hell did she encourage anyone to sell their bodies. While I’m no Solange fanatic, I respect/appreciate her writing and production abilities. She’s never naked besides a bald head. And definitely doesn’t objectify herself as a sex symbol, satan worshipper or even remotely seems like she’s sleeping her way through the industry. And is a Christian, attends my former church in Houston.
