Waka Flocka Clowns Lyrical Rappers

Sunday, February 14 2010 8:24 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Waka Flocka phoned into Whoo Kid’s show on Shade 45 yesterday to talk about his music projects, visiting Gucci and being lyrically deficient. In fact, he says the most lyrical rappers are the ones that aren’t making the most money. And for those who are wondering who penned Diddy’s verse, Waka says it was Diddy himself. Ha! That’s some funny shit.

    @ everybody

    DON’T BE MAD AT HIM!!!! BE MAD AT THE SHOOTER WHO DIDN’T DO THE JOB RIGHT!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!!

  6. ThatDude says:

    most non lyrical cats are 1 hit wonders if that.. while lyrical dudes get respect and a fan base.

  7. LMAO says:

    @mac DIESEL your right! Damn you shooter!

  8. HellBrokeLoose says:

    lol i don’t even know who this rapper is, but he’s right.

  9. hip hop kid says:

    im still waiting for someone to photoshop his face on Fozzie Bear lol

  10. flipz5 says:

    its sad that kids are growing up thinking this is what hiphop is about.
    mostly this just makes me want to throw up.

    props for making mad $. i wont front on that.
    but your RAP career will be nowhere a year from now.

    WTF is WhooKid aggreeing with him?

  11. Nathaniel says:

    OutKast. T.I.

    ^thats my only necessary example. especially being that waka is from the southside of atlanta. he should know better.

    i guess when he thinks lyrical he thinks about the slew of up north rappers who call themselves underground and say they represent “true” hip hop. cuz those niggas are definitely not getting much lime cake off of rap.

  12. Elemer Fudd says:

    I hope Whoo kid is only sarcastically agreeing.
    If not, i wonder how he feels about his man Llyod Banks.

  13. webstar says:

    lol…hilarious…the lyrical rappers are the ones with the longevity in the game.

    The ones without lyrics have short-lived bandwagons.

    SMH @ these kids putting the artform on the backburner for money….which will be very temporary for people like this.

  14. villyvillz says:

    Is whoo kid serious….

  15. QUEENZ says:

    fucking loser, i never even heard a verse from this fool and I dont plan on it

  16. Facepalm says:

    I sincerely hope Whoo Kid is being sarcastic. Otherwise there’s no well in hell he deserves a job at shade 45.

    This is everything that is wrong with hip-hop.

  17. WhatsUpSon says:

    Lyrics with resonant substance can go a long way for a rapper. But, you don’t have to take MY word for it. (c) LeVar Burton

  18. LMAO says:

    If you think about it this is really funny cause imagine money gets roasted in a song lyrically strait clowned disrespected and owned of course he will go back in the booth and reply but riddle me this how is he gonna respond with his checkbook? lol and yet he’ll STILL TRY to take it on wax and it won’t help his cause regardless. And anyways if he had half a brain he would realize longevity money > one hit wonder money but it’s really not his fault what do expect (forgive me Sarah “write on my hand” Palin) from a retard. We know he already can’t write but can he read and count? That’s why even if you make that quick one year $ you’ll never see the upper echelon status because without the minimum of substance after a short while you go stale and NOBODY is gonna wanna fuck with you (Mike Jones, D4L, Mims, Dem Franchize Boyz, Ying Yang Twins, Ron Brownz, DJ Webstar…) Next thing you know cats will be saying dudes that rhyme their words are irrelevant better yet dudes that use words in a cohesive manner are irrelevant cause they aint “makin money”. What cracks me up most about this is that a cat who has lyrics can always make a simple song but still has the firepower to go back so he can play dual roles but someone who is mentally a preschooler has no chance. And anyone who says “why you hatin he gettin money” fails to realize that in the long run he is NOT because after his 15 seconds of fame are up and he’s done spent his $ in strip clubs, on fancy cars, jewelry and weed he’ll be back to sellin whatever he claims he did before and end up not being shit.

  19. People, people, calm down, this is what he wanted you guys to do! He wanted to make a ignorant comment like that so people can blog about it and blow it all outta proportion to have everybody talking about ‘what Waka said’. Then the next thing you know rappers will be interviewed and then asked about Waka’s remark and try and give him more of an name! He’s just tryna stir up controversy for himself… like 50 seems to always do before his albums ~_~…. (Shout out to 50 though lol)

    Sorry Waka, stirring up controversy and getting shot to make your name bigger is so last decade! Try a new approach… like selling Waka Flocka action figures!

  20. BIG DOG! says:

    Yall Niggaz are FUNNY as HELL cause when a Rapper does what yall want them to do Aka “Real Hiphop” Yall MF’s DONT BUY THE SHIT!!! SMDH!!!

  21. niggaufuck says:

    AND WHO DA FUK bought gucci’s album? or oj da corballs album? and down the list of non lyrical rappers?? lmao this point is wack..they feel wen they get 5 or 10 stacks dats money dats why…if they was gettin dat jayz 50 em kanye money they wud sit down with a pen n pad real quick to sell for actually sayin sumtin dat makes sense

  22. bossupnuggga says:

  23. jimmythegent says:

    this is why i love 50 CENT he aint the most lyrical rapper and he aint on these wack rappin niggaz level..he is in the middle of both and thats why i like dude…idk wat to call it but nigga 50 stay have my head boppin sayin sum greezy shit

  24. van says:

    At least he admits it.

    They know the shit is horrible but people are buying it, so they’re like oh well.

    There is a difference between rap and hip hop.

    Now take that dumb rap shit over there, way over there.

  25. JohnBlack says:

    Best Interview of the year ! I really love this dude’s honesty. Whoo kid is a funny nigga too. Talking bout Waka being lyrical. Can’t stand it when radio personalities be up on a nigga’s dick. Nobody believes Waka is lyrical. Waka doesn’t even think so himself.

  26. LMAO says:

    Ya’ll dont buy the shit? More than cats like Gucci and OJ and Boosie and New Boyz and every other of these dudes selling a SINGLE or a RINGTONE does not mean isht because they have no TRUE fan base plus let me clarify another point all those “real hip hop” lyrical cats also go OVERSEAS and make bread because THEY CAN nobody outside of the states know about this guy and they never will . And btw all that “i dont givafuk” blah blah attitude lol you will soon enough when your “career” is a wrap. What fuckin language is this dude even speaking the hood Smeagle dialect?

  27. alan2000xl says:

    @ lil major the cartune,,,, ur giving him way to much credit. this was a dumb comment and if hes getting money thats all fine and good but his career is a recipe for FLASH IN THE PAN. do I have to list all the candy rappers that have a couple hits and never to be heard from again….the ones that last are the most lyrical and there gettin paid way longer than this fozzie bear ever would.

  28. The Truth says:

    It’s true to a extent, all yall crying that Jigga, Em etc are lyrical rich guys they both had to DUMB DOWN their lyrics to reach the masses!! Resaonable doubt was the illest out of jigga’s catolouge but it wasn’t til he dropped that afterschool special track ‘Hardknock Life’ that he got massive shine! The Slim Shady & Marshall Mathers lp’s were both BIG & ill but 70% of those lp’s were bought by WHITES just for the fact that EM is WHITE, when he dropped ‘The Eminem Show’ the numbers fell, why? His lyrical content was too deep I.E ‘Mosh’, ‘Square Dance’ etc. Nas been Dumb down his shit after ‘It was Written’. Papoose was one of the illest undergrond cats back in 04-06 what happend to him? $1.5 million from jive only to have ‘The Narcerima Dream’ sit on the shelf? I blame ALL Yall bandwagon jumpers that made that Mike Jones, D4L, Shawty Lo shit popular!!

  29. LMAO says:

    @alan2000xl cosign dude isn’t smart enough to think 10 steps ahead let alone a half a step ahead this isn’t the Jay-Z play on Illuminati he’s just some dumb ass nigga who thinks it’s cool to be a dumb ass nigga and actually thinks he is achieving something long term money wise by sayin dumb ass nigga shit but then again I bet he don’t give a fuck so congrats to him and enjoy your lil bit of fame and “fortune”. I could care less if he wanted to be like Gucci make money fuck hoes whatever but to talk sideways about lyrical cats and yet you expect the same level of respect because you’ve “gotten paid” yet you bring NOTHING to the table musically is what irks the shit outta me. He has no talent, no merit and his music is fast food.

  30. breadp$t says:

    where so icy boi @? i told ya nutass they fucked up by missing

  31. LMAO says:

    @The Truth uh dude 90% of ALL Hip Hop music in the USA is bought by white people let’s not get it twisted that is how Hip Hop got paid i’m black and know this well because we are only like 10% of the population and niggas in the hood buy bootlegs keep it 100% Plus I don’t know to what Nas albums you were listening to but Stillmatic, God’s Son, Street’s Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead, Untitled and (so far from the leaked tracks) Distant Relatives are not dumbed down if you say contrary then you never listened to them. And that whole Em is white is played out yeah it got him a boost no doubt i’m not dillusional BUT how come Bubba Sparks aint blow up to his FINANCIAL level? Or Brother Ali? Or Insane Clown Posse? Or Asher Roth? Or Aesop Rock ? And you noticed in that list I included a gamut of rappers ranging from lyrical to not so lyrical. Plus I don’t understand what your definition of dumbing something down is (Cause Eminem pretty much been rappin the same topics/lyrical style since 4ever). Is it not having obscure vocabulary words that only professors understand? Dude everything is a balance if you have just “lyrics” but yet nobody understand them but you and your flow sucks and your beat selection sucks and you have no showmanship then go write a thesis I love lyrical cats but let’s not be hypocrites and not pretend that some “lyrical” cats don’t suck 2 when it comes to other aspects of the MUSIC if I wanted to listen to a speech i’d find a politician.

    Oh yeah and next time you try to make a point do some research because the Slim Shady LP is the Eminem album that sold the LEAST of those 3 albums you mentioned

    The Slim Shady LP, 4,707,000 units sold
    The Marshall Mathers LP, 10,204,000 units sold
    The Eminem Show, 9,799,000 units sold

    PS : Square Dance is deep? Cmon homie I woulda gave it to you a lil more if you picked White America or something

  32. alan2000xl says:

    @ LMAO cosign everything you have written so far. finally someone with some sense of what the situation is. much props.

  33. The Truth says:

    LMAO u made some good points, ‘White America’ is the track I forgot about, I said ‘Square Dance’ for the 3rd verse only! I Know hip hop is Consumed bu surbibanites(whites) it’s been that’s way since Beastie’s dropped ‘Liscense to ill’ back in the 80′s! As it goes for Nassir I got all the albums u mentioned except fo ‘Nastradameus’ which completely turned me off from him!! Jigga gave that nigga mouth to mouth!! Anyways my point is the biggest names in the Biz have dumbed down their shit to reach more ppl & there’s no denying that!

  34. wow, right next to the big l 11 year article too…. this is the dumbing down of america, hip hop has been hijacked by the illuminati, do you think this retarded person got famous alone? At least he admits it, unlike most mainstream pathetic rappers.

  35. NotoriousRambo says:

    SEE THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH TODAY’S GENERATION AND FROM MY GENERATION THAT GREW UP IN THE 90′S WHEN LYRICS REALLY MATTER WITH RAPPERS LIKE NAS, AZ, BIGGIE, WU-TANG, PUN, BIG L, ETC

    NOW A DAYS ANYBODY CAN MAKE A RECORD WHETHER THEY WHACK OR NOT ALL YOU NEED IS A HOOK AND SOME GIRLS IN YOUR VIDEOS ALONG WITH SOME STUPID DANCES SMH WHAT A SHAME *SIGH*

  36. He telling the truth though on some real shit.. Lyrical niggas dont sell cuz ppl not tryna hear that bullshit.. its about what pop in the clun and the radio.. Look at Nas!.. No shows still not gettin that respect cuz he on that shit he was on in 94. but jigga on top cuz he stay switchin shit up and niggas respect his hits and shit… niggas like Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Curren$y got they audience in the suburbs, T.I. Jeezy, 50, Jay got they maintstream audience and So icey, Lil Boosie, etc. specifically do trap muzik and that shit is for the clubs and mixtapes and they real street niggas and they stay doin shows for 15,000 &up three times a weekand wheneva dey come to yo city I bet they have yo shit thumpin cuz Gucci had Det. slappin downtown. The point is its hot and ppl gone hop on it and fuck with it cuz the game thrive from other genres and regions to keep theyselves hot, exactly why Diddy jumped on the remix.. Watch out for Detroit artist though fuck the BS

  37. Oh and follow me on twitter @ Ima_Lord… & add me on facebook at Blake Champion

  38. @ alan2000xl, whoa! I never gave Waka credit! XD… I don’t even like the dude! at point did I give him credit?

  39. LMAO says:

    @ Bugatti Blake

    Nas has no shows and no respect huh cause he on that shit he was in 94? You know that I think about it you right! Wait lemme quote you properly *hum hum* :

    1. Lyrical niggas dont sell cuz ppl not tryna hear that bullshit.. its about what pop in the “clun” and the radio (yeah cause you know hearing dope punchlines and witty banter just gets on my nerves *shakes fist* but wait are Jay-Z and TI not considered lyrical? hmmm what a conundrum —> sorry forgot big words = headache *translation* what a dilemma —->nope my bad again too big *translation* dat problam it iz konfuse mek my brein hurt)

    2. T.I. Jeezy, 50, Jay got they “maintstream” audience (lol)

    3. So icey, Lil Boosie, etc. specifically do trap muzik and that shit is for the clubs and mixtapes and they real street niggas and they stay doin shows for 15,000 &up three times a “weekand” (Really? damn Boosie must have it on lock doing shows from jail must be on that Star Trek teleportation shit good for him. A weekand what? Oh my bad I thought you meant weekEND but you just forgot to push the long rectangle next to the alt buttons)

    4. the game thrive from other genres and regions to keep theyselves hot (hmmm got me a little confused here buddy um from other genres right? So uh we aint talkin about rap no more? I just wanna make sure ohhhh ok you mean other variations dammit I did it again *translation* different niggaz stylz dey be rappin)

    Ah Bugatti once again you’ve set the record strait! You’ve made me a believer what was I thinking…lyrics I shun thee! Now I only embrace grunts, ay’s and easy soundin shit! I shall follow you oh lord upon the twitter for your words, wisdom and insight are unmatched

  40. LMAO says:

    @Lil Majer The Cartune

    Nah homie he didn’t mean like that he meant about having an idea to try to create a buzz with controversial statements basically that the nigga to stupid from that ploy

  41. @LMAO

    Awh… c’mon!!! selling Waka action figures was just a joke! it was nothing to be tooken seriously! XD

  42. alan2000xl says:

    @Lil Majer The Cartune once again LMAO sums it up pefectly. I dont think fozzie bear is smart enough and nor is he big enough to pull off a stunt like that. His comment was unneccesary and short sided. We can debate numbers and who sells what and why but we can agree is the type of artist he is and thats of a rapper that makes candy rap. Catchy choruses with non sensical lyrics. O lets do it, is actually a nice club song but that type of music comes and goes. His name will be added to the long list of rappers that had a hit but couldn’t quite get past that hit because there not really artists just guys that happened to be on a song that caught fire for various reasons.

    THIS DUDE IS A LICK AHAHAHA WUT A FUCKN LOSER

  44. HOLLYHOODMANE says:

    WAKA FLOCKA FLAME IZ BUMPIN THEN A MUTHAFUCKA. YOU EAST COAST CATZ DONT KNOW BOUT THIZ SHYT RIGHT CHEA’. LISTEN 2 ANY OF HIZ MIXTAPES, THEY BUMPIN MANE.

  45. jones says:

    hahaha he actually said Diddy wrote his own lyrics? lol he really doesn’t know anything then. everyone knows Diddy uses ghostwriters, Diddy’s verse was probably written by Royce Da 5’9″, Royce said recently he’s just been ghost writing for Diddy

  46. Chipped Tooth Condition says:

    Royce ghostwriting for Diddy was old news.

  47. mac DIESEL says:
