’10 Underrated Albums: #1 Waka Flocka Flockaveli

Surprised? Oh, quit your jibber jabber. Waka himself would probably admit that he’s no wizard of poetry. But for what he lacks in skill set, his debut Flockaveli makes up for in entertainment value. Produced majorly by Lex Luger, the project is buoyed by hypnotic drum and horn patterns. Ironically, the tracks are more effective individually than in their sequence, ie: the album’s big three:, “O Let’s Do It” , “Hard In The Paint” and “No Hands.” Really, it’s Waka’s simplicity that keeps him engaging. Whether he’s letting his burners (“Live By the Gun”) or onomatopoeia do the talking (“Bustin At Em”), Flockakveli maintained a presence and produced hit after hit after hit. If you can’t RESPECT. that, than, well, you know the rest. Blaow!

  7. NYC says:

  8. Hahaha says:

    Lmao all the 10 Dissapointing albums YOU listed>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Flockavelli
    I don’t hate…but I will let you know a horrible album when I hear one, and THIS is one.
    I bet you my IQ dropped after listening to this.
    Not all rap albums have to be “smart” or tell stories, but DAMN…at least make sense!!!
    is there a song on there that makes any fucking sense!?

  9. BTKilla says:

    SMH that’s all I have to say

  10. Poindexter says:

    False… I checked it out and it wack… Lloyd Banks HFM2 is million times better than this wack niggas shit

  11. p.dom says:

    get the entire fuck outta here!!!

  12. mexi-CAN says:

    @belly
    the end is not near my son.
    but high school dropouts went up almost 90%
    B. Dot being the first one…Hahaaa

  13. GUARE says:

    yo belly funny as hell..i dont know bout the album.. but maybe underrated is not the word.. but im surprised.. he doing what he doing.. i would of thougth he would of dissappeared by now.. and i be rockin to the joints he got with french montana.. so i am surprised he still around and actually hot on the scene rite now.. i dont know bout underratted though..i doubt this album is better then that banks.. i feel like that banks album was truely underrated

  14. Cudder says:

    I’ve been saying this was a solid freshman effort.

  15. mdot85 says:

    It could be the #1 mindless no lyric turn the bass up album of 2010..but “underrated” I gotta disagree wit..if the 3 singles are greater then the entire sum of the album then fine put him up for hottest singles of 2010..and this is comin from the biggest Wacka hater out there..but were his singles popular even if I hate them..YES..but for the entire album to be underrated nah and for it to be the #1 underrated nah…its all bout opinion and I respect ur bdot..but imma 100% disagree lol

  16. xtrajordinary says:

    beats on that shit are crazy

    he does his thing. his sound isn’t supposed to be lyrical or perfect. these cats trash on every guy who doesn’t rhyme like rakim, but that’s not waka’s thing. he’s got a whole different target market. i couldn’t agree more with the rating.

  17. E.P says:

    B. Dot, I respect you and agree with a lot of your opinions, but straight up homie..you get a cmon son for this one.

  18. Albrecht44 says:

    You mean overrated right? No? Ya’ll just went full retard with this one.

  19. Joshua says:

    HIP HOP WAS MEANT TO HAVE DIVERSITY. WHEN YOUR AT THE CLUB YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT SUPER LYRICAL RAP. YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT IGNORANT SHIT. EVERYBODY HAS A LANE IN MUSIC AND CAN PLAY THERE PART. I LOVE COMPLEX RHYME STYLES, THEN THERE ARE TIMES I WANT TO DUMB IT DOWN

  20. gus says:

    B. Dot you enjoyed this more than the other underrated albums? Thats one tough list man. respect it though. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally PT and PTII are my most underrated.

  21. Niyemortal says:

    I know sometimes that things are posted for the discussion or controversy it could bring, but there are classier ways to do it. A Gucci song is by default better than a Waka song and for Gucci to be on the disappointing list but Waka be number 1 on the underrated is beyond logic. If anything, Id say Banks’ album was the most underrated by far. If you felt the need to put Waka on the list, it should have been at 10 at least.

    I still respect your site though.

  22. happy new year haters! says:

    Get mad! For those of us that don’t always take music seriously and like to dumbout and get krunk, this album did its job. Will it go down in history as a classic next to the chronic, makeveli, illmatic, or ready to die? Hell no, but that ain’t always the goal. Wakka gave me precisly the kind of album I was lookin for from him. I got this album somewhere next to thug motavation 101, get rich or die trying, and world domination. I think his audience slept on this one

  23. rAND says:

    So Waka gets most underrated album and is also on the front cover of B.Dots boss magazine. Concidence? I think not payola a$$ nigga elliot wilson. Fuck outta with that bullshit

  24. CDub says:

    Yo B.Dot this is some bullshit u know it is??? U can honestly sit there and listen through each song from beginning to end and call it underated….Yo ass need a reality check with this one GTFOH

  25. NotoriousRambo says:

    **BITCH SLAPS B.DOT** YOU AN YN NEED TO EAT A DICK! RAPRADAR BECOMING JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE BLOGS SMH

  26. Reasy F. says:

    If the music doesn’t have substance, then I can’t fuck with it. The rest of you can bump that mess and I’ll still be playing “In My Lifetime Vol. 1”.

  27. D-manded says:

    Put the pipe down B no good for u

  28. jflyy1555 says:

    your a fuckin crackhead

  29. cmyers says:

    omg this must be a joke u guys really fucking suck wacka flocka is the wackest nigger alive

  30. Whowantwhat says:

    This post just shows why XXL fired YN dumb ass!

  31. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    The whole Rapradar Staff needs to be at mental hospital with GUCCI MANE SMH.

  32. Mars says:

    Ya’ll gettin paid to post shit like this?

    C’mon son.

    Ya’ll got Distant Relatives and this mixed up.

  33. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Banks album should be the #1 underrated album of 2010.

  34. Belize says:

    @Rap Radar: Yall, have been hacked haven’t you? Well I hope yall get access back to it and edit all the stupidity that’s been posted with all the most________album of 2010. smh

  35. mac attack says:

    I will return as long as i see the author of this under the “blackout” section for the remainder of 2011..

  36. tr says:

    I still haven’t checked it…

    But I agree that he definitely had some hits this year. Hrmm…maybe I’m missing out?

    Not that it matters but P4K rated it 8.0 so maybe B.Dot ain’t so crazy.

  37. cokane says:

    fuck this noise this is the biggest load of shit ive eve seen in my life

  38. fuk.i.care says:

    this has to be a SHOCK POST. there is no way a respectable hip hop site really believes this bs. if your goal was to be contraversial, then mission accomplished, but you are killing your credibility.

  39. Chan says:

    I agree with a lot of the rating, in fact I even enjoyed the reviews, but Flockavelli as most underrated? NAW! Hell No to be exact.

    BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  40. j-tang says:

    is this to give credibility to the RESPECT magazine cover?

  41. masa says:

    obviously somebody is on wack-a floppa’s dick
    are you serious? underrated? you must be joking.
    Shame on you “Rap Radar” for even acknowledging this clown.

  42. Chan says:

    To confirm my opinion on my previous post I just went to Itunes to listen to Flockaveli. As I previously stated the album sucks. Its terrible. I understand the simpler style rap that mainly talks about women, money, and drugs. Thats okay if your into that but lets let the rappers who excel in the genre get the notoriety. Gucci Mane is a perfect example of one of those artist. His beats are all very similar and his raps are more simple than, lets say Ghostface but he is still good. Waka Flocka Flame is why many people are saying hip hop is dead.

  43. Bigga Boi says:

    10′ Bestist Albem for Reetardds: Waka Flaka Fag

    I hate this fucking brain dead bitch he doesnt even rhyme half the time. RapRadar has jumped the Shark officially

  44. Bigga Boi says:

    10′ Dumbest fucking blogger: B.Dot

  45. Bangers N Mash says:

    Rap Radar is soon going to lose respect from a lot of cats if they continue postin shit like this.

    WHat the fuck were yall thinkin?

  46. RJ says:

    I bet niccolo machiavelli is rolling in his grave with waka titling his album “flockavelli.” I know Tupac actually read and understood machiavelli (neither of which I’m sure Waka can claim). just smh

  47. justmyopinion says:

    @ B. Dot

    Get out the basement

    *After Detox drop, F rap ya’ll can have it back*

  48. Yung Silv says:

    elliot fuck that shit this is elliot’s opinion not b. dot. Banks album shoulda been number 1 most underrated no comment on this fucken idiot waka. deb antey is hotter in the rap game than him

  49. Damn Homie says:

    What the fuck is this cat on.. underrated really? #1

  50. Damn Homie says:

    this is just plain bullshit my nigga.. really.. as someone who loves hip hop as you claim.. u can’t support this shit.. Wacka is point blank NUMBER ONE reason that people are shittin on the game right now. If this shit is what rap is coming too.. count me the fuck out.. I don’t want it no more..

    The production is one sided.. every song is just straight get ignorant in the club beats.. ain’t no substance to what he says.. its all just jibberish.. why elevate these niggas?

    Banks album by far WAS way better and definitely more lyrical..

    ONCE AGAIN we elevate this bullshit… and I AM STILL WAITING ON THE SYALLABLES POST???

    where the fuck that at??

    Rapradar losing credibility fast in 2011.. yall take a loss for this shit nigga..

    ain’t no integrity in the game no more.. this shit might as well be The Source.. show us the $$$$$$$$ and we’ll put you on.

    its a dirty game… RapRadar officially is WSHH lite. good job niggas.

    you ain’t dead to me yet… but you definitely the cousin i don’t be fuckin with like that no more..

    call me at thanksgiving niggas.. no more pop ins.

    *dead*

  51. DreadStar says:

    I was mad about the Distant relative post…Now i’m just down right amused at you mufuckas today..waka fucking flocka..Really though..Ya’ll dead serious too..You should flip these 2 post.

  52. ben says:

    i did not listen. the songs i heard were horrible.

  53. Kay-eSs says:

    the album really aint shit
    but i fuck with it–ignorant music that gets you hyped

  54. DE says:

    wtf
    fuck off rap radar u retards

  55. powww says:

    theme of the album-

    good thing “nigga” rhymes with “nigga”

  56. Itsdead says:

    Since when did waka even represent hip hop or the concept of a MC. If ur gonna make urself relevant in this game RR, do some research on real hip hop and don’t disrespect albums like distant relatives whose message alone destroys most albums from last year.

  57. Belize says:

    RR goin mainstream. >_<

  58. Dum fucs says:

    FUCK THESE BLOGGERS B…YOU HAVE BEEN REVOKED OF POSTING YOUR OPINION…

  59. Thomas says:

    28 guest vocals on debut album….

  60. wickwickwack says:

    When u do a review and describe someone´s album with these words :
    “no wizard of poetry,lacks in skill set,simplicity”

    There shouldnt be a but !

    The last argument is that the album made noise ?what is the review about ..?
    The quality or the impact ?

    If i was your teacher i would hand you your paper and tell you to rewrite this !

  61. some random kid says:

    Are you fucking kidding me…… Waka gets most underrated and distant relativfes gets most dissappointing. That is absolutly absurd.

  62. D says:

    Damn, y’all went hard on B. Dot. Pause.

    But I gotta qeustion, though. Out of all albums released this year, you pick Waka? Guy doesn’t even have a serious title for his album. I mean come on, Flockaveli? He should get stomped in LA.

  63. AJFNGJJ says:

    Holy shit, saying Distance Relatives was disappointing, then saying this piece of shits under rated? Go fuck yourself, fucking site doesn’t need posts on wack ass opinions

  64. Master P's Theatre says:

    The album was solid from front to back.

  65. SnubOne says:

    Fucking flow is BANANAS!!! Banana PEELS…. CYS Caught Ya Sleeping on a razor blade…. This is a thug mofo for sure but that is street cred not musicality… Mystikal’s stepchild… SOS..Same Ol Shit…. I cant cosign on this SHIT either way… To equate yourself to PAC by titling your album…. NEVAMIND… there is a place for all in HIP HOP…It’s unviersal and all encompassing but for this MY COMPASS is POINTED WAY OF THIS PLAYAS TRAJECTORY….

  66. Kevin says:

    now how many of people hating on this ACTUALLY listened to the album?? Exactly..

  67. Ac@pella! says:

    *confused look*

  68. JERZZZ says:

    RAP RADAR IS OFFICIALLY A FAIL. THIS COUNTRY BUMPKIN HALF RETARDED NIGGA PUT OUT A GARBAGE ASS ALBUM AND YOU FUCKIN CLOWNS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO THROW SHOTS AT NAS & DAMIANS ALBUM? YOU FUCKIN SELLOUT NIGGAS NEED YOUR HEADS EXAMINED WITH GUCCI LAME AND CHARLES HAMILTON. FUCK OUTTA HERE. Y’ALL SHOULD HAVE YOUR RADIOS,CD/RECORD COLLECTIONS HEADPHONES AND COMPUTERS CONFISCATED FOR THAT FUCKERY.

  69. xtrajordinary says:

    quit hating. i can’t stand reading these comments because this is just one way of looking at it. waka’s target market isn’t on the blogs. you can’t deny he’s doing something right though. there are 3 pretty successful singles off of the album, and if you actually take the time to listen through it there are some good things. i can definitely see why it’s appealing. i bet most of these cats on here haven’t even listened to it.

  70. xtrajordinary says:

    quit hating. i can’t stand reading these comments because it’s just one side of it. most of waka’s target market isn’t on the blogs. but this cat is doing something right…no denying that. he had 3 pretty successful singles on the album and if you actually listen through it (i’m sure most that have commented haven’t listened through it) there’s some pretty good stuff.

  71. PrincePolo says:

    @ Damn Homie . word up man

  72. underrated !!!really???the guy doesn’t know the alphabet!!!hate now!!!

  73. J.COLE SUCKS says:

    Holy crap Waka Flocka underrated? Are you suffering from autism?

  74. iHate says:

    RR was hacked by 13 years old boys

    aaand… this wasnt underrated! This was overrated

  75. damm says:

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ELIOT YOU ON CRACK

  76. CK says:

    WHAT THE FLUUCKA ????? WHAT’S HAPPENING IN RR? HFM2 WAS TWICE BETTER AND SO AS FAT JOE’S ALBUM. IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN RR ONLY CARES ABOUT NUMBERS AND NOT HIP HOP. AND IT’S BY HAVING YOUR TYPE OF CRITICS THAT HIP HOP IS DYING.
    RUCK FAPRADAR

  77. Foekist says:

    @ B.Dot
    quit my jibber jabber? Nigga, suck my dick!

    You fucking clowns are what is wrong with hip hop. Did u get a nice big check for this??

  78. mac DIESEL says:

    @ B. DOT

    GET OFF THAT BAMA JUICE AND CHITLIN SPREAD NIGGA!!!!

    ….HA!!!! LOOSEN UP THAT DOO-RAG AND GET YA MIND RITE NIGGA!!!! U SCARIN’ NIGGAS!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  79. nah mean says:

    so… this is an underrated album, and distant relatives is a desapointing album…

    YO YN IS COKED THE FUCK UP!

  80. Vega says:

    ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!? really wtf is rap radar on!! yung silv is right banks should have been number 1 for underrated albums!!! the lyrics and beats on banks where good not the best but good! and it was better then this piece of shit!! 1st off how the hell u have a album called Flockaveli?!?! the tittle alone makes me want to slap my mother!! then the blood on the album has to be the worst photoshop skills i have ever seen!! i rather see some of the old master p cds from the late 90’s again then rather see some bullshit like this!! one thing u got right on here is his lyrics he trash!! i remember hip hop being about lyrics and beats not just beats!! and people wonder y hip hop is dead and y people dont sale cause of bull shit like this!!

  81. EASTNY TA says:

    THIS NIGGA MUST BE SMOKING CRACK

    WACKA FLOCKA IS FUCKIN ASS CHEEKS

    GET OFF THE INDUSTRYS DICK

  82. BIG H says:

    THE WORST SHIT I EVER HEARD

  83. Shooga says:

    RR Everything for money,right?

  84. Bobby D says:

    Waka Flocka is a fuckin tool. He cant rap….what the fuck is he doing making music. No Hands is a club song, other than that it falls on its back. Hard in da paint nigha. lets say that 30 times with no significant metaphors or wordplay whats so ever. And O Lets Do It, well im happpy that came out, cause Wayne got to MURDERRRRRR THHHHHEEEEE BEAAAAAATTTT on no ceilings!! If anything Waka is a Pop Rap artist who i feel should be getting NOWHERE!! near the credit he is receiving.

    Rap Radar…. Step up your game dude.

  85. X29 says:

    i havent heard the album yet cus i never thought of myself as a fan but No Hands is my shit! …i aint like O Lets Do It tho.

  86. the only thing people like bout this album is the beats and the hook so how is this a great album? lol

  87. Rap Radar Sucks Artists instead of giving REAL reviews says:

    Rap Radar is losing its credibility .. going over to Nah Right in 3..2..1

    Seriously! this is trash!

  88. Rap Radar Sucks Artists instead of giving REAL reviews says:

    Elliott Wilson is only love hip hop for the $$ it produces..Not the raw talent! WACKNESS!

  89. Mak says:

    If you put Waka as 1 and Banks as 2 means the album was overall better?

  90. Really? says:

    Are you kidding me? A grown ass man who jumps around yelling like a complete idiot. Smh WOW. Seriously B.Dot you have absolutly no idea what it is you are talking about so please go back to Burger King and keep flipping those burgers cause this job aint quite cutting it for you. Wacka Flacka ? #1 in an aspect? Why Socially kill yourself in that way bro. Thats complete stupidity

  91. CutZ says:

    who’s next…..50tyson

  92. Del says:

    yo RR… fuck you guys for this

  93. devante says:

    bdot your off your rocker

  94. Moses says:

    I cant stop laughing, everyone in the library is complaining. I seriously dont wanna smoke what you’re smoking, its making you make retarded list.

  95. Random says:

    Please tell me this was a misprint and the meant overrated who ever posted this bulls**t kill your self ……………….. na really if u are in a tall building jump out the window this is y hip-hop is dead right now bring back real artists.

  96. ZoomZoom says:

    @B.DOT

    YOU PROBABLY THE SMARTEST DUDE ON RR…. THIS ALBUM IS PROBABLY THE BEST ALBUM ALL YEAR LYRICALLY THIS SHIT IS MAGIC

    REAL TALKS I DIDN’T EXPECT WHAT I HEARD FROM THIS ALBUM THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE TRASH BUT IT WAS FAR FROM TRASH… WAKAAAAAAAAAA

  97. This makes NO COMMON SENSE at all. I’m really puzzled, how Waka Flaka’s album is even considered a “underrated” album, that’s like calling “Pretty Boy Swag” song of the year, and Jim Jones the greatest rapper of our generation, straight laughable. Then to put, Nas and Damian Marley’s Distant Relatives as the most disappointing album of the year– again is jokes. That album probably was one of the most unheard or underrated albums of Nas’ career, and of 2010.

    Hmm… that’s odd.

  98. haq says:

    Oh, shit ya’ll seriously lost.

  99. 2welve says:

    WOOOOOOOOOOW!! rap radar is losing cred on every single post!

  100. P says:

    I think rap radar has lost some viewers with this bs I’ve seen.. Farewell

  101. BigBrother says:

    Dear Rap Radar Stop this BS fucking bitch dumb fucks

  102. jdot says:

    loll its def official. These list are straight garbage. kill ur self please lmao

  103. The Mind says:

    So basically you are saying beats saved the lyrics? lmaooo Being lyrical does not mean spitting poetry or using big words. Rappers who say i am not going to be lyrical just use that as an excuse to release trash aka this album.

  104. Miley Cyrus says:

    All 111 of you need to shut the fuck up, this album is full of something most emcee’s today lack, Real Live Energy
