Waka Flocka Flame

Description – Seems to ‘go harder’ than any other rapper I have ever listened to.  Has been quoted saying that he doesn’t care about lyrics and that his music is “straight blunt.”  Is a part of Gucci Mane’s ‘So Icey Ent.’  Seems ‘legitimately crazy,’ to varying degrees.  Signature ‘noises’ include “Waka Flocka Flocka Waka Flocka” and “Bow! / [miscellaneous gun sounds].”  Notable physical features include medium-length deadlocks, large lips, and a green diamond chain of a bird that says “Brick Squad.” TC mark

Albums/Songs I Currently Like – “Rumors” / Lebron Flocka James 2 / “O Let’s Do It” / “Wildout”

    Jordan,

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

    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.'

    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'

  • The Beauty Of Insignificance

    As a speck of microcosmic dust, in the scheme of the universe you are — almost literally — nothing. The universe would not so much as bat its eyelash if the Earth was annihilated tomorrow, and would continue about its routine as if nothing unusual had happened at all, which, strictly speaking, hadn’t.

    Sensual, titillating, erotic.

  • Will The Real America Please Stand Up?

    Literally: it’s unintentional, but I stand with my shoulders hunched forward and my back lazily reclined, which leaves my pelvis protruding. Set this in motion, and my crotch is like a cat’s whiskers, preceding my body and feeling for danger — or pleasure! — ahead.

  • 5 Reasons Not To Be A Cocktail Waitress

    “Hey darling,” with a pat on the hip and then an inappropriate amount of lingering after the pat, “Another Jack and Coke, if you would!” (You’ll want to tell him you wouldn’t. You’ll get the damn drink anyway, and try to smile).

  • The Life Of Someone Who Didn’t Like The Avengers

    If you get trapped by a mob of angry comic book fans, you scream: “Look! It’s Alan Moore and he brought scones!” And then you book it the other direction and don’t look back. Never look back and don’t stop running. Pretend it’s like Speed, except that you are the bus.
