Torii MacAdams is always up in a Benzito You always knew when Waka Flocka on a song because he’d tell you by shouting a distinct, gravely “FLOCKA!” The dread-locked Flocka, along with mushed-mouthed, sometimes-friend Gucci Mane and the indefinitely smoked out producer Lex Luger, set the hyper-violent tone for much of rap in the late […]

Harold Stallworth always bets on blue and cream. There’s plenty of reasons to thumb your nose at “Industry,” the latest leak from Cormega’s long-delayed fifth album, Mega Philosophy: Large Professor’s smooth, polished production, while impressive in itself, simply doesn’t mesh well with Mega’s abrasive style; there’s an absolutely tragic mention of “swag” chased by a […]

Riley Hamilton be putting on. They are no longer Ferrari Boyz; there is one Ferrari boy and then another separate Ferrari boy. On the ides of March, Gucci Mane sent out a tweet announcing the disloyalty of former protege, Waka Flocka Flame. We are still being barraged daily by the wreckage of their fall out. […]

Deen has spent the last 72 hours Duflocka Ranting. As a matter of principle (and stubborness), I still insist on rappers adhering to their regional sounds. Or at least, given that it’s 2013 and I’ve already yielded to the likes of ASAP Rocky and Drake, having some sort of connection to your region’s traditional vibe. […]

Things uncovered: Waka Flocka is a huge fan of SWV, salt and vinegar chips, Kilo Ali, Hitman Sammy Sam, Slick Rick, and Kool G Rap. Also: people occasionally call Wooh Da Kid by the more regal-sounding, Wooh Da King. Also, also: Wooh Da King finds SWV very very very sexy. You might dislike Waka Flocka’s […]

Jimmy Ness has a duck in his Caprice. Flocka can get a club ratchet faster than a Ferrari can go zero to 60. Hence, this bangs so hard that even snarky elitists would strip their cardigans off and smash Roland Barthes books on the heads of their rivals. Flocka shout-raps to the roosters, the chickenheads […]

Allow Deen to bloviate a bit. I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert on foreign or French rap. I’m not. That said, I’ve listened to a ton of MC Solaar, because it’s the cultured (read: bougie) equivalent of listening to an AZ album (well, AZ’s debut album): the most buttery and gawdly of […]

Herein lies Abe Beame’s take on the Oscars. DOWNLOAD: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qv3199 Kendrick Lamar- Cartoons and Cereal: Apparently, Section 80 was his Southernplayalistic. Flatbush Zombiez- Thug Waffles: I’m not late on this it just took a minute to track down a working link. These guys grew up a few blocks away from my crib, but one does […]

Evan Nabavian rocks a Bunsen Honeydew chain. There are two kinds of Waka Flocka songs. Songs about death and songs about asses. “Round of Applause” is the second kind like “No Hands” before it. But while “No Hands” is a loathsome synthy booty jingle, “Round of Applause” is a desolate booty nocturne. Lex Luger provides […]

Waka Flocka Flame – Music – More Music Videos To quote Deen: “I should really just title this “the reason why I truly fux with Lex Luger.” Like many others, I was initially of the opinion that all his shit sounded the same. Once I heard the synths on this shit, I realized that the […]
