Nights like that are dope to me, because being able to share memories and document them through music is dope."

Something for girls to escape -- maybe when they're at work, they want to hear it at their desk or their cubicle, their office, or whatever. It's a fantasy -- Cinderella." Wale made his official album debut with Attention Deficit in 2009 that featured an up and comer Lady Gaga, Gucci Mane, and Chrisette Michele.
