Lil’ Wayne

Buy on Amazon.com

Description – Seems to utilize non-sequiturs in a way that maybe makes it seems as though they aren’t non-sequiturs. Seems convincing in almost ever aspects of his persona. Uses similes and metaphors often. Delivers ‘punch lines’ well. Seems well versed in pop culture. Seems to have a productive/effective work ethic and a Promethazine-Codeine syrup addiction. Signature ‘noises’ include [lighter ‘flick’/inhale], “young moolah baby,” and [high-pitched laughter]. Notable physical features include long dreadlocks, myriad tattoos (‘I am music’ on face / ‘ESPN’ on arm), and a silver, glittery ‘grill.’

Albums/Songs I Currently Like – “Me and My Drank (featuring Short Dawg)” / No Ceilings / “Hawaii 5.0” / Tha Carter II

    'Seems not very creative; however, seems to make up for it in “hardness.”'

    doesn't seem like it needs four pages since they're basically two paragraphs applied to two artists w various descriptions of appearance
    i like waka flocka flame though
    met him once
    he seemed crazy 'irl' too

    Jordan,

    Thank you for introducing me to Waka Flocka Flame. I really like his music.

  • chris

    think waka flocka left the brick squad because gucci changed management, and waka flocka's mom was gucci's manager

  • kfox

    this spring was the spring waka flocka seemed to 'go hard' like every fucking day. it definitely kept my nihilism in check. whenever i'd start to feel jaded, i'd think, “but would i be existentially okay being waka flocka right now?”
    the answer was always “no.” it seemed like just going out in public, for waka flocka, was a game of russian roulette, and i wasn't committed to chaos enough to 'go that hard.'

  • Jordancastroisthepresident

    Waka Flocka Flame should have waited until LeBron made The Decision before dropping “Lebron Flocka James 2″. He looks silly wearing Cavaliers jersey.

  • Jordancastroisthepresident

    you're welcome bro

  • Jordancastroisthepresident

    i just read on 3x 'online source' that gucci mane left 'so icey' for 'brick squad 1017' which is 'home to' oj da juiceman, waka flocka flame and gucci mane (he is the ceo as well). i think i was wrong re waka flocka flame being a part of 'so icey,' according to [online sources] he is a part of 'brick squad 1017'

  • On Finding The Right Place To Live

    For awhile I swore by the mantra “we’re all exactly where we’re supposed to be.” It’s a comforting idea, and if you repeat it until you believe it you can use it to quiet down your restlessness. But it only really works when you’re actually satisfied. I don’t believe it consistently. We don’t always make the best choices for ourselves.

  • How To Be A Single Woman In A Mainstream Rom-Com

    Have a weird, random dream job that would only exist in a Hollywood script. You’re a product tester of… products, or a “GLAMOROUS” dog walker, or a super chic editor of Chic Magazine located in Loveless Metropolitan City, U.S.A.

  • Everything That I Know About Jupiter

    At its core, probably, Jupiter consists of a diamond that is the size of the planet Earth. …Allow me to repeat that: …A DIAMOND. THE SIZE OF. THE PLANET EARTH. This fact has always haunted me for some reason. Well, not for “some reason.” The thing is, I want to have that diamond! Could I assemble a team of men to steal it, Nicholas-Cage-movie-style?
