"Back in 2008, Wale unleashed The Mixtape About Nothing, a concept album built around Seinfeld. Using dialogue samples from the show, track titles inspired by its episode names, and a cameo from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the Washington, DC rapper revealed to the world a serious obsession with the sitcom. Wale is now revisiting the source material, and taking it a step further, by collaborating on a new album with Jerry Seinfeld himself. Seinfeld recently explained in a video how the collaboration came to be.\r\n&amp;quot;Wale called me, he came to my show, we hung out a little bit,&amp;quot; Seinfeld says. &amp;quot;He wanted me to do something with him. I didn&amp;apos;t understand it. But he did.&amp;quot; When the comedian told his wife about the project, he discovered that she was a huge fan of the rapper, though she had somehow missed out on the earlier Seinfeld work. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re living together, she&amp;apos;s into him, he&amp;apos;s into me, and I didn&amp;apos;t know about the whole thing.&amp;quot;\r\nThis isn&amp;apos;t the first time Seinfeld has considered delving into hip-hop: He once approached Diddy with the idea of collaborating on a project. &amp;quot;Hip-hop&amp;apos;s words, right? And I do words,&amp;quot; he told the mogul.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
