This is a Wacka Flocka Shame
For those of you FORTUNATE enough to not know anything more about Wacka Flocka Flame than it possibly being a new STD or Sesame Street character, I'll give you a quick lowdown.
Mr.Flame, a prodigy of Gucci Mane (so we're ALREADY on the wrong track) is a 23 year old "rapper" from Georgia. His mother is Gucci's manager and CEO of So Icey Entertainment. That's bout it. I did a little more research and found he really is a big deal in the South, and was Gucci's AR and main promoter.
WHATEVER.
I had to give a little background because Flocka's hit single "O Let's Do It" has been creating an interesting buzz in the hood and the industry. The drug-dealing glamorizing song made its way to radio stations and ringtones everywhere within a matter of weeks. The beat was so simple and repetitive I found it stuck in my head until the day I truly listened to what he was saying...
"I fucked my money up, damn/Now I can't re-up/Ran off in his spot just to get my stacks up...Heard he talkin shit but this ain't what the fuck he want/Locked my CEO up/Now it's back to coka/Niggas talkin shit bruh, hang him by a ropa/Hit em with the choppa...Call me Waka Flocka aka young wild nigga/AKA young drug dealer/Got purp, got kush, got pills got white/In the trap all night with the hard and the soft"
And that's just part of VERSE 1. This song is played at ALL times of day,and yes music has basically went beyond all moral and ethical boundaries, but what the fuck? He don't get arrested or nuttin?
His appearance? Questionable. His lyrics? Wasteful. His intention? Genius. Think about it. Instead of trying to be original Flocka obviously felt the best musical route was to surpass the level of ignorance ALREADY being glorified in the media. Forget rappin bout trappin, he's just gonna say straight out, "Drug dealing music/Hey,I influence..." Not to mention his line of locking his CEO up; isn't that his mother??
Anyway, a few weeks ago the nigga gets shot in the arm for not giving up his chain. Cuz everybody knows us niggas love our chains!! The internet goes wild, some sites even claiming he's dead. I didn't see the big deal, anyone who's willing to BE THE INFLUENCE OF DRUG DEALING MUSIC must expect a couple bullets every once in a while. Hell even 50 cent released his first album in a bullet proof vest!
So when I saw the following video I was disappointed, yet relieved, to see that yes,a nigga rappin about shooting can possibly end up getting shot.Shit happens, take a look:
