<p>Wale has done it again! And I mean done it as in reconfirmed why I love him so much! In his latest news, Wale penned his opinion on his frustrations for how black women are portrayed in media to <a href="http://necolebitchie.com/2015/01/wale-explains-why-he-used-a-normal-around-the-way-girl-in-the-video-for-the-body/">Necole Bitchie.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;I have honestly been sick and tired of our representation in the entertainment world. I feel like they curve “us” as a whole, then every blue moon they allow a pass for a Black person and we’re supposed to throw a party for it&#8230;Black women were represented in such a way that they were not hyper-sexualized objects created by doctors with the sole intent to take pictures, just to add on even more enhancements- be it Photoshop or an abundance of makeup with a sprinkle of good lighting.&#8221;</p>
<p>He says it hurts that there is no substance anymore, nowadays people literally do just try to find the next biggest hit through how many likes a person bought or gets on Instagram. He also talks about wanting to bring a revolution to the way black women are portrayed in music videos and his first attempt at it was while filming for his single &#8220;Body&#8221;.</p>
<p>“The Body,” was an attempt to get us, as Black people, headed in a more elevated direction. Mariah [the model I used in the video] kind of epitomized what I felt a normal beautiful “round the way” girl looked like. These days, we spend so much time focusing on “that a****, ” we forget how much of love’s chemistry is contingent to a beautiful face and genuine personality. Personalities that used to cut through our television screens when Jada would flex that B’more attitude in a <a id="itxthook7" class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://bossip.com/1090736/wale-vents-his-frustration-on-the-portrayal-of-black-women-in-media-i-have-honestly-been-sick-tired/#" rel="nofollow"><span id="itxthook7p" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap"><span id="itxthook7w" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan">scene</span><img id="itxthook7icon" class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" alt="" /></span></a>. The authenticity back when there was no desire to portray women as just an over-sexualized, clay-like-body to Instagram-obsessed people! Yes, I’m aware that my latest single is called “The Body.” I also am aware we that barely showed the body… Maybe, just maybe, I thought I could trick these dudes into looking a little deeper. And if only for one video, bring back the glory days of a more genuinely <a id="itxthook8" class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://bossip.com/1090736/wale-vents-his-frustration-on-the-portrayal-of-black-women-in-media-i-have-honestly-been-sick-tired/#" rel="nofollow"><span id="itxthook8p" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap"><span id="itxthook8w" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan">prestigious</span><img id="itxthook8icon" class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" alt="" /></span></a>, “Black Hollywood.”</p>
<p>He names Jada Pinkett Smith and Lisa Bonet as woman he fantasized about while he was younger and how it didn&#8217;t take them being half naked to make him want them. I guess its safe to say that Wale has a type, so sorry girls from the looks of it you will need more than a big booty to get his attention.</p>
