Waka Flocka Flame proved just how humble he is when he sat down with the co-hosts of Everyday Struggle and said he’s always known he was a “wack rapper.”
“By 2012-2013, I had $30 million,” he says. “At that point in life, I’m being real on my dead brother, why was I rapping? What was I rapping about? I’m rich. I wanted to be rich.
“From that time to right now, I wanted to figure how can I become a billionaire and a multibillionaire off of business ’cause I did it with rap. I was a wack rapper. I knew I was wack. But I was real, see what I’m saying? My realness overcame my wackness.”
When DJ Akademiks asked if he really thought he was wack, Waka Flocka replied, “My favorite rappers are DMX Nas, KRS-One, Goodie Mob … I can’t rap like those folks! Put me in the booth with Kendrick Lamar [laughs]. For me, this is just me talking for me. I’m a Gemini. My only friend’s gonna be me.”

abso-fuckin-lutely
Flames.
Yoooo. There is an intelligence here. Waka being transparent and wish him more success
To be honest i respect this guy on this point for his statement
Waka a wack rapper who has an energy in his songs that cant be denied. This guy always seemed smarter than the average rapper, just based on his points of view, like this one for example.
Big respect to Waka for saying this!! But I wouldn’t say he’s wack, maybe not the most technical rapper but he’s made some good music!! Flockaveli is a very good album IMO!! Plus, I would rather listen to Waka over any of these wack-ass mumble rappers out here today!!
Bricksquuuuad!!!
I’ve never heard any rapper say that but that’s a great thing that he can just admit it with no bs..
I remember being shocked how good his music taste was when he did his top 50 favourite albums on Complex. Props to him for being real.
Waka setting a real example for these mafuckas. Way too much fake shit-fuck shit out here…This is the Truth. Come real or not at all
Waka flaka durant was ?
