WAKA

i'm talking to WAKA in 3hrs btw

will be interesting to see what you get out of him - he doesn't seem like a v chatty guy

yah good luck lol

yeah i'm hoping he talks a bit clearer than in these youtube interviews i'm watching

it's a fucking phoner as well :( tightass record label!

avoid education as a topic

lol WAKA has a problem with his phone and has postponed the interview.

He has such energy for an old dude born in 1933. Good to see the elderly enjoy life.

Lex, did you ever get your interview?

yeah. it made me sort of vow never to end up doing transatlantic phoners again OH WAIT I HAVE TO DO ANOTHER THREE IN THE NEAR FUTURE FML FML FML

but yeah shitty phone line + mumbling interviewee paying only intermittent attention (on top of being warned in advance by his PR that he's not talkative) basically = 45 minutes of shouting HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME ARE YOU STILL THERE

i am only going to pitch interviews with british people after this round of features. at least then i can insist on face to face. i can't exactly demand that warner fly me to the US (though i did try to hint this lol).

pfork review reminds me that y'all should listen to the gunplay mixtape

i can't stop hearing this now btw

did u read that interview rnt linked to like a week or two ago where he talks about all the drugs he does. it's really interesting

yeah -- i'm actually in the process of setting up an interview w/ him but his management has been kinda slow in corresponding w/ me -- i'm excited about it tho, assuming that it happens

what's weird about him is that you expect the rap to be so southern based on the production, who he runs w/ etc & of course it is distinctly contemporary southern rap, but gunplay himself raps almost more like a new york version of waka

yeah, his flow sounds like it wouldn't be out of place on even like a boom bap beat or something. good luck with your interview man

holy shit fletch, where did you find this one

it's kinda funny cuz i'm living at home right now and my parents were all "are you writing anything? do you have anything coming up etc." and they know i write about rap but obv don't know anything about it so i was apprehensive about being like "yeah mom, well you know i'm trying to set up an interview with this rapper... named gunplay..." but oh well -- they took in stride lol

you should interview him in your parents house

i told his management that i'd meet up w/ him if he's down here, tho parents house is HIGHLY UNLIKELY

when i interviewed t.i., who obviously i never thought of as a particularly controversial figure, my parents rang me up after it was published and asked if i was okay because of the refs to jail, lol. and then my mother said nervously "well, he does seem like a reformed character".

also, when i interviewed lady chann, my mother asked me whether she'd married into her title.

:) love mums

Dude from my hotel just brought up a fax while I was blasting Waka Flocka, so I yelled "WAKA! FLOCKA! FAX!" He didn't seem amused.

waka over some smooth soul shit

WAKA sounding nice on that beat.

this intro is fucking hilarious!

the hook on Gucci's "What I Do" is perhaps my favorite Waka moment of all time

damn this goes hard. production is really good bet everyone was lining up to get their best shit on this tape. lots more variety than flockavelli. watching the potential longevity & wealth of waka's career unfurl before our eyes it's beautiful really

yeah this is one of the best rap songs of the year. is it officially gucci's? i've got like 3 differently tagged versions on my itunes, first one was a couple months ago just credited to "brick squad"

this tape pretty much proves that it's waka and not lex luger as the driving creative force. lex only has like 3 or 4 beats on the whole tape

yeah i dunno who "What I Do" 'belongs to' or anything i just know it from Gucci 2 Time

Holy cow at the intro to the Waka tape. Brilliant!

waka waka waka waaaaka, waka waka waaaakaaahhhh, waka flocka waka, he's the waka flocka flame.
