"Diary"-Wale

I'm actually surprised that Wale put "Diary" out as a single.  I think its a great song, but not as commercial as his other songs.  But its a very beautiful, very honest song.  I think its interesting to have a male perspective on a relationship issue that is common.  I do think a lot of females are "incapable of a first impression" as he's mentioned in the song which is problematic, but so are males.  I don't really want to go into personal feelings and experiences in this blog but I can see how this is problematic, especially when I was on the other side of it before and its like, I have nothing to do with your ex so move on.
I also thought it was interesting that he didn't use the stereotypical, long hair, ethnically ambiguous looking girl in his video.  Not that I have anything against girls that look like that, because I basically fit into that category, but I liked seeing other forms of beauty celebrated in the video in a non vulgar way.
P.S. I think the performance aspect of the video in which he's sitting in the chair with one spot light is funny because that's how he performs the song at concerts.
