With ESPN and Gatorade’s upcoming RGIII: The Will to Win documentary approaching its debut next week, Hip Hop Wired acquires the new Wale track that accompanies the film called “No Pain No Gain.”  The documentary will chronicle the Redskin quarterback’s road to recovery from his past knee injury sustainted during last season’s playoffs.  Check out what Wale had to say to Hip Hop Wired on the motivation behind the track.

“I did my best to speak for him,” says Wale of “No Pain No Gain.” “[RG3] ain’t no rapper, at least I don’t think so; he probably could if he wanted to. If I was telling a story to get inside of Robert’s mind, what would he say? That’s pretty much it.”

VIDEO: Kanye West – Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings | Fan Made Documentary

This is a dope 45 minute fan made documentary composed of different footage a lot of fans may have already seen but also has some cool unseen visuals too.  Take a look at this well put together project on one of the greatest hip hop artists to ever do it.  It’s all in the editing and this individual made it happen with interview pieces, old mobile video, audio snippets and more.  Not going to lie, I miss the old days when Kanye first came out.  I still can remember the first time I heard his music and saw his “Through The Wire” video on BET.  Kanye was the first artist I ever had an itching to go see live and I’m glad I caught his act before he massively blew up right when The College Dropout released.
