Wale on "that thing"
I think I'm searching for #thatthing.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Nope, next year lol.
Wale has been featured on Honey Mag's site for his take on love and women before but this entry really stood out to me. You can tell that it's more that just rap with him and it seems like he put some thought into the piece. It's a good read. Check out an excerpt below and head over to Honey to read the rest.
Women, how many men have you met who surround themselves around so many women, they wouldn’t be able to distinguish “the one” if she were right under his nose? I propose the same question to the dudes: Have you ever courted someone and did everything in your power to make her “open her eyes” (Bobby Caldwell x Common)? Yet she still wants to be in the club every other day or she tells you she doesn’t want commitment. That is her trying not to be vulnerable. That is the proverbial wall that can’t be penetrated because even the briefest daydream of #thatthing will send her into shock. #thatthing has the staring role in life’s movie. A nigga may have never experienced #thatthing, but his mother/father/sister/brother/teammate’s experiences may have been enough to instill the fear. A woman may never have experienced that thing, but her homegirl/bestfriend/play-cousin just may have made a fool of herself at a local club, go-go, movie theater or mall because of #thatthing.:
