Waka Flcoka Flame originally intended to release his sophomore album Triple F Life this year, but decided to push it back after realizing he was making music more for the label than fans. Speaking with Billboard.com’s The Juice, the “No Hands” rapper said that he plans on dropping the album at the top of 2012 and why it’s taken a minute to record.
“It felt like a rushed project. I’m going to do it first quarter (2012) because I need to put my all into it,” he said. “I felt like I was trying to please the label and not the people that really listen to the music.”
He also revealed that the Drake-assisted single “Round of Applause” 
was originally recorded for his debut Flockaveli and that a collaboration with DMX could be in the works.
“I said, ‘Who do I need on the song to get some ladies into it?’ Let me call Drake! I met him through the engineer, we put that track together, and that was it,” he said, shifting to his duet with Dark Man X. “I’m trying to put a song together with DMX; he needs to get back on the scene!”
In anticipation of the album’s release, Flocka is releasing a joint mixtape with French Montana titled Lock Out, hosted by DJ Drama and DJ Green Lantern, on December 9th. “When I met French Montana I thought he was a good artist. When he first came out about two years ago, I felt if I started dealing with him, maybe he’ll grow as an artist. He really did. He’s workin!”

collaboration with DMX ?????????????????? haha
raekwon, rza, lloyd banks and kanye west all cosigned/have/or have stated they want to work with justin beiber.
knowing that, does a dmx collab sound impossible?
Just because these rappers like another artist in another genre , doesn’t mean you have to collaborate with them . They may not mesh well with their styles. X doing a record with Mr. Wonka, Wonka is blasphemous to his true fans
This NIGGA is doin his thang, better than LittleWayne etc

DMX old hating washed up ass fell off ten years ago don’t waste your time helping this fool get crack money. Funny how cats act like X was lyrical there’s a thin line between Flocka and X if you wanna be real.
X had something interesting to say though. Wacka is just cooning for coonings sake
nigga where yo heart at/tell me what you made of/ already lost a stripe cuz I know what you afraid of/we both know you pussy/but I ain’t gon say nothing/just hit a nigga off and you can stay frontin.
Go listen to his first three albums carefully, he was the most authentic street artist and a true mc, caught up between a street life and following a higher path towards a faithful calling. If you can’t see the depth in his lyrics and his struggle, than that’s on you not him. Listen to his verse on the chapell show, it was made for fans just like you.
It’s noble he wants to help X out, but I’m sure X in his prime wouldn’t have anything to do with him.
