The Intro About Nothing

Wale's Album about Nothing is a concept record inspired by the classic TV sitcom Seinfeld, created with the assistance of Jerry Seinfeld himself. It is a follow-up to his 2007 collection,Mixtape About Nothing. Seinfield acts as the narrator on the project. Wale explained to the Cleveland Plain Dealer: "He's essentially like my conscience. You can look at him as kind of explaining what's happening if you get lost during the story. He'll come in and give you an update."

This song opens with brief dialogue between Wale and Jerry Seinfeld in the studio as they get ready to record. Wale then spits two verses over a simple piano beat, in which he explains why he decided to make an "album about nothing."

Seinfeld told The New York Times how the collaboration with Jerry Seinfield came about: "I think I met him even before I knew about the mixtape [Mixtape About Nothing]," he explained. "My wife was a fan and she plays his music in the house all the time. I liked it, too — I don't spend much time putting together playlists, but that's what's nice about being in a family is people just inflict it on you. I absorb it that way." "So I had heard his name and then he came to a show and asked if he could say hello, so he came backstage," the comedian continued. "I thought he was a very charming young man. And then I heard about the mixtape, and he came up with the idea of doing the whole album. It just felt so offbeat and that's what appeals to me."
