yeah a-wax was signed to akon's label. hes also known for dissing husalah a whole bunch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMGJneo2MBw

i'm sure this is obvious, but what is the song where he goes, "two chainz, like i'm tity boi/i'm from clayton county ga ain't no city boy"? driving me crazy and surprisingly google-proof

that strained, warbly voice in "everything i love" is great. doesn't sound like future on the hook, is that 'trouble?' waka's not bad either

i will write joaquin malphurs a check if he makes my favourite album of the year for a second year in a row. i have not yet heard a better 2011 release than duflocka rant

waka goes to nyc & buys some kids skateboards

he is the best

i'd probably do it w/o wearing a t-shirt with an image of myself snorting a pile of coke, but thats still pretty awesome

haha otm

waka interviewed tyler for interview magazine and it's hilarious how little of a shit he obviously gives. http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/tyler-the-creator

he really is the best.

FLAME: Me and my partners was havin’ a smoke and we thought that maybe monkeys could take over.

TYLER: Monkeys are smart as fuck.

i didn't read it this way

FLAME: So where does the anger in your music come from?

TYLER: Uh . . .

FLAME: Is it from issues that you have? Is it from stuff that happened to you?

TYLER: Yeah, shit like that. I get pissed at little shit. Like, Facebook deleted my profile the other day without telling me, and I was fucking angry.

that article needs to be added to the compendium of articles referring to a rapper's stage name as if it was his real name

if they say FLAME than why not CREATOR

Waka Flocka, The Flame

Waka, The Flocka Flame

it's a shame they couldn't find an artist to interview Tyler who's actually interested in him and his music. like a rapper, i'm sure they could've got the girl from Best Coast or something who'd be a big fan with lots of questions.

I was on Cape Cod for the first time a week and a half ago, and next to my hotel was a dingy little club called "Pufferbellies." The marquee advertised lots of seemingly party-starting bar bands, a "Russian Foam Party," and then - stuck on the end - "Waka Flame." i never in a million years thought it could have been him - the place was so inconspicuous, in a town (West Yarmouth) where I didn't clock a lot of hip hop fans of any stripe... But it was. It was the same night as the family thing I was there for, but it turned out to have cost $65 (!), and (unsurprisingly) he played for like 20 minutes. And there was a huge fight, the beginning of which is on YouTube somewhere. Pufferbellies!

yeah, it seems like they were like "tyler was always talking about waka, that would be cool" and didn't really go about making the interview good in any way, shape or form

also the dude who interjecting himself into the interview was nagl

obv it would've been a better idea to have tyler interview waka but of course they didn't want an interview of waka

yeah, that is very true

yeah i guess i dont read interview mag that often but wtf is w/ this?

interview transcripts should never ever be verbatim accounts of everything everyone said including logistical asides that participants needed to communicate to each other but have no value to the reader, that's like writing 101

i've never seen one like that

i guess the problem was that the tyler + waka portion of the interview was like 500 words, so they needed to add in the whole theater of "tyler's out with his mom and waka is conferencing in with someone else from interview" which just paints interview as a really haphazard and poorly executed concept

imo

also i guess the guy who set it up really wanted to be the one to do the interview but he's not a celebrity himself so he had to kind of shoehorn himself in

saw waka being interviewed on tv this morning and couldn't get this outta my head

To be blunt, I was more struck by the class differences that come out in this interview. That's how I read it.

FLAME: So where does the anger in your music come from?

TYLER: Uh . . .

FLAME: Is it from issues that you have? Is it from stuff that happened to you?

TYLER: Yeah, shit like that. I get pissed at little shit. Like, Facebook deleted my profile the other day without telling me, and I was fucking angry.

From Stereo Type:

brother dead, daddy dead, auntie got HIV
lord, can you please get this rage out of me?
started popping pills cause of shit that i’ve seen
and the shit that I went through as a child

Not exactly the horrors of a Facebook account getting deleted.

not that its not still a class difference, but im p sure tyler was joking

the deflection is a pity - since they're both angsty it was an interesting q from mr. flame

It's not like Tyler shies away from discussing his personal problems in his recorded output

first single from his new album

http://soundcloud.com/wakaflockaflame/round-of-applause-dirty

more evidence for the "luger is actually a pretty diverse producer" file

not bad, that flow he slips into for the second verse is my favorite of his

not really sure the ad-libs really work with the more laid-back first verse

i like this song a lot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEzLFv-gRaU

i was kinda hoping that would be a proper church organ though, like imagine that shit reverberating around st paul's cathedral

gives me a klezmer vibe

yes, lex, that's what you hoped a video titled "boy goes hard on the organ" would be

omg y'all waka is reading thomas friedman :( :( :( (

What’s the last book you read?

Actually, I just got this new one two or three days ago! It’s called, The World Is Flat.

Oh yeah, by Thomas Friedman. That’s a good one.

Damn, girl! You be on them books too! (Laughing) I was in a conversation with a guy in the studio and he told me to get it, so I went and Googled it, ordered it and it just came in. I haven’t started yet, I can’t wait though – they said it’s good.

noooooo

The World is Flocka vs. The Waka is Flat

Hey, what did you think about Jay-Z kind of quoting your song, Bustin’ At ‘Em, on Watch The Throne—

What? He did? I ain’t know that! How did that slip that by me?!

I'm from East Atlanta 6 where the boys dump bricks but we don't bump The Blueprint 3 Watch The Throne

that girl look like halle berry when i'm on them beans
when i hit the scene, girls yellin and they scream

"flocka can you be my baby daddy?"
yes!
