I saw Waka Flocka live at a music festival some years back and he had Laryngitis. Instead of dropping off the bill he walked out on stage and explained what was going on, said he wasn't gonna leave anyone hanging and told his DJ to play his tracks because he was gonna mosh with the crowd the whole time, and he jumped in the crowd and did just that. He was having people climb on his back and shoulders, tossing the younger kids up to go crowd surfing, security was 100% on board, it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen at a live show. No one got hurt, he was taking selfies in the crowd with fans and then he spent the next 3 hours taking pics and signing stuff at the side of the stage for EVERYONE that approached him. My brother didn't have anything for him to sign so he signed his Solo cup. He was genuinely one of the nicest artists I've had the pleasure of meeting and respect for this man hit Super Saiyan 4 that day.
The fact that waka admitted to being wack is so humbling lol I remember all the criticism he got, but he cant deny his talent for bangers and being a hype man
@@Magnus-_-Unfazed Hello. Just wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you very much. He is coming back very soon and He wants you to be ready. Just go to Him as you are. You don’t have to be perfect. The only thing He requires is a full surrender of your life. Go to Him and give Him your life and everything. Once you surrender everything (from the heart). He will give you The Holy Spirit in His fullness. The Holy Spirit will then give you faith, the power to overcome sin, peace, fulfillment and above all, eternal life. You cannot do it on your own strength. It’s only by the Holy Spirit. And you get The Holy Spirit once you lay everything down, including your life at The Lord’s feet. He says in His Word “Not by might, not by power but by my Spirit”. People think Christianity is boring. That’s because they see it as a religion. Christianity is not a religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who loves you and gave Himself for you. Having a relationship with Christ is the most joyful fulfilling thing you can ever have. Jesus changed my life and He wants to change yours as well. The reason we are all here is to fellowship with and have a relationship with God.

Should have been called one pump and dump cuz he's a one hit wonder but nobody's wondering anything LOL he sucks he just had some catchy Beats that was really all he had going for him that's why it only lasted for a season
"Everybody I started with is rich, everybody I started with is happy" that tells you alot about this mans heart ❤️. He just wanted to do what he loved to do while also getting financially stable from it. That's some real shit right there.
Yeah I respect that his mom helped him I think! he did he thing , got his bread , and didnt get shot up I respect that! Do music because you love it , dont force it RESPECT!
@@kimbley6451 sounds like a good plan. There's all different types of way to do it just have to be smart and how you move stay focused and stick to it I wish you best. That's definitely what I'm trying to do I work about 70 hours to 100 hours a week!! Trying to stack that paper you know
You dont have to be a rapper, you dont have to stay a rapper. Rap is basically an entry level position at a job. The promotion is the percs that comes from being a rapper, movie deals, endorsements, clothing companies, etc. Gotta start teaching these young guys this is what you get in rap for, not to be a TV Gangsta.
Wake had come to Vermont for a concert. I couldn’t wrap my head around it as I was one of the few people who recognized him up here. I approached him by saying “Sorry to disturb you”. He immediately said “no you’re not”. There was a silence and we looked at one another and recognized you don’t have to be sorry for what you want. Dude posed for me, let me take a photo and called it a day. Waka is a real one.
I just watched a video about Chamillionaire. How he kinda went out of the industry as a one hit wonder. Everyone figured he'd broke a few years later like most other one hit wonders. Then come to find out. This dude invested most his money in companies and made 10x more money than he ever did making music.
Yea hes a great example of branching out! he used his intelligence and applied to everything he did, i still bump his music from time to time, great motivation
His name should have been one pump and dump LOL see what I did there one hit wonder but nobody Wonder cuz he sucks I wonder how the hell he ever got so hot for a minute literally a minute
Met Waka on my way from DFW to LAX he had the whole plane smelling like herb. He was nice enough to take a pic with me at LAX. All respect to Waka that pic is still on my IG!
@@delonthomas5049 hell yea I am he's fucking trash his lyrics suck and make zero sense like a preschooler wrote it and anybody that likes his shit wears fake chains from wish sags their pants and acts gangster until something goes down
It's funny because my little bro used to listen to Flocka and I couldn't understand why. I would always say he was whack. Feels good to know Flocka himself agrees with my original assessment.
Haha yup, in the same interview he said something like "Put me in the studio with Nas and Kendrick, they would out rap me everytime, that's what good rappers sound like"
Hey I watch your stuff alot and I love it... but... I do have to say that during this vid/section of logic you totally forgot to mention the incredible true story album, which did hit plat and number one in hip hop charts in 2015. And also one of his greatest albums...to me at least.
I think it's all paid and planned for by themselves cuz they are little neighborhood rappers nobody's ever heard of until they're on the news dead so who knows
Bullshit, ain't no rappers getting killed in their homes. The ones getting killed are the one's out looking for that energy trying to prove some shit. Just like Waka when he went to Compton and started claiming to be an Elm St Piru, had something happened to him while out there playing gangster, that would have been on him out there looking for it. 🤷♂️
You gotta remember being an artist you get paid the least amount when you check the other jobs in the music industry. Producers get paid more. Engineers, writers, marketing, etc. Anyone and everyone gets more money before the artist is even paid. So why stay getting a low paying job when you can do other jobs and still stick to music. And then there's investing into other ventures. Look at Akon. He also disappeared and made more money than he ever could have otherwise. He signed Lady Gaga for crying out loud. Imagine that.
I kinda miss it tbh Dj mustard was on a streak back then.yeah all the beats almost sounded the same but there was just something abt it ..or I'm just getting old lmao
Flockaveli album one of the hardest trap albums ever released. The producers on that album were legendary too..mainly produced by Lex Luger with south side on a couple too.
waka is one of the few rappers i never got tired of. He built gucci mane. Waka is the Rap God gucci aspires to be. id trade every rapper life in the game for a new waka album
This proves that literally anyone can be a rapper as long as they have a good beat. Gucci gang had a really nice beat but Lil pump completely disrespected it, at least Joyner Lucas fixed it just like he did with mask off and panda
Chamillionaire did the same. Got rich from one hit then got filthy rich buy investing. Dude is worth $500m+ now and among the richest rappers ever now.
@@NineteenEighty8 He means how did you arrive at that figure. Also, he's not worth anywhere near that amount. He has however made some very wise business decisions.
Nah he still raps and is one of the coldest lyricist there is. He's contempt on where he is at in journey of life. Just because you're not in the spotlight doesn't mean you fell off. I see broke people that is known all the time.aint nothing wrong with making money and staying out the way.
Someone should do a video on RU-vid creators who say they're given RU-vid and social media break and then post 20 minutes later you'd have to do a series cuz there's thousands of them 🤣
