Clever rapping isn’t what entertains people anymore, the Atlanta rap star, whose hits include “Hard in the Paint” and “No Hands,” Waka Flocka Flame said in a recent interview with Acton Entertainment while in the U.K. as part of his European tour.
“People got the most excuses when they can’t get no money and when they’re not winning. These niggas over here rapping about pancakes, and they mad niggas don’t want to eat no breakfast. It’s dinner time nigga. Shut the fuck up … That shit is over with. All that clever rapping. It’s here. But that ain’t what entertains people today. It ain’t that they don’t wanna hear that shit. It’s just not what’s popping right now,” he said.
Waka didn’t specify what he considered “clever” rap, but if he’s talking about music that falls on the conscious side of the Hip Hop spectrum then he might want to look closer at the mega-success of MCs like Kendrick Lamar and Chance The Rapper.
Elswhere in the interview, Waka also revealed a timeline for the long-awaited Flockaveli 2, saying that the album should be ready by the fourth quarter of 2016.
But don’t expect it to be feature-heavy.
“People that follow my music wanna hear me, no features … They don’t wanna see me with Jay Z, Wayne, Kanye, Drake. That’s like a compilation CD. To me, if you gotta album it should be no features, just you.”
For historical context of Waka’s growth, it’s worth mentioning that the initial Flockaveli — released in 2010 – featured 20 different artists rapping

This wack ass no talent having wannabe rapper needs to shut the fuck up and do his research
People just wanna party and have fun now, can’t blame them really.
Shut the Fuck up bitch!
That’s just sad and ignorant there’s alot more to life then just partying and having fun nowadays everybody’s so blind to what really matters in life all they care about is ignorant bullshit that has no positive meaning or influential back round its all just the same shit all these rappers nowadays sound the same and talk about the same thing its sad that’s what’s wrong with the world no one cares about that real shit anymore its a fucking shame
Didn’t Trinidad James say the same thing? Sounds like a retard’s excuse for not being up to par with those that are successful.
Yeah Wacka! Jay, Kanye & Wayne are just sittin there prayin you offer them a feature! they just waitin for it! lmao
Wtf does this idiot know about what people want? He NEVER sold shit. Fuckin fanook!
Lmfao shut the fuck up lil boy you aint doing shit with your life but talking shit behind a screen id like to see you do what waka does bitch ass pussy
I could out rap that clown any day…and I’m definitely more wealthy than him so who’s talking shit?
Not mad at him for getting money as an entertainer.
However, he should respect people that actually have talent like Jay, Nas, Jcole, K.Dot, Fab, and Drake.
Because anyone can do what his WACK ass is doing.
It’s because corporations have dictated what direction they want music to go, and amplify / glorify violence within the minority communities. It’s like a social media District 9.
Word the whole xxl freshman list won’t be around next year (minus 1 or 2), it’s all artists that are easily replaceable with another round that’ll make the dumb shit and not ask for more money.

Waka keeps speaking on lyrical hiphop as if he’s some superstar or something…Not a soul mentions Waka Flocka when a dope rapper conversation comes about. This clown was hot for 2 minutes. With that said he’s not far off which is why Hiphop been dead…his bragging about his money is the equivalent to winning the special olympics…congrats kid, you’re still a retard tho
Fuck reading clever books, we wanna bump clever raps, YALL MUSIC IS NOT SMART DURR
I understand the perspective he’s coming from but Kanye/Drake/J Cole/Kendrick Lamar are all considered today’s top artist and they’re all considered to be pretty clever wordsmiths…the dumbed down New artist (ie Chief Keef/Kodak Black/Desiigner)make big initial noise but ultimately fade from earning large amounts of hip hop recognition and monies and it only seems to be a recipe for a one-hit wonder.
Kodak got barz tho.Facts
Only a nigga that can’t rap would say some shit like that waka lame #not popping
You on point savage that nigga needs to go bacc to floccin cuzz is garbosh K.dot is the future waka the past. He stinks
Typical comment of a dumb nigga
“I want to hear a whole album of just Waka” – said no one ever
“No one wants to hear a whole album of Waka” – said Waka’s mom
Dr.Dre and Em fans buy Kendrick music . If they step away from this weirdo music his sales would plummet . Ask 50cent an Game interscope is genius at it . ie white sales market . The hood don’t listen to Kendrick the suburbs do . #RealSpit
The hood only buys drugs and Jordan’s, hence that is why it is called the hood because no one with enough money not to re lives there. You obviously live on the corner of MLK BLVD and nigga lane.

Waka keeping it real . Shout out to Flocka .
Yeh he keeping it real…..real stupid
Over? With this moron it never begun. This idiot is hands down one of the worst rappers ever. I hop Gucci skins this punk alive!
I live in Compton, my girl lives in the Jungles. Maybe your dumb ass has heard of these two neighborhoods? Well, everyone I know fukkx with K.Dot. Everybody in LA, where DRE, Snoop, Pac, the Game, WC, Kurupt and legendary Westside representatives came up. I don’t even know where Wack-a is from. I do know this MF sounds like soulja boy. Ain’t no one around here fukking with his lame shit. Ignint ass troll keychain lookin nigga.
Oh My God Really?!! You’re really from Compton?!! That’s how it is out there?!! The rest of the world is just giving so many fucks right now!! Newsflash. No one cares about “compton” but people from “compton” and the bottom barrel losers of LA who don’t get pussy, still wear chuck taylors, and call each other “blood”. No one listens to DRE, Snoop, the Game, WC, or Kurupt anymore (with all due respect). You guys are lost in a time warp. Wake up and get some pussy.
all you fa.g.g.its all over the country try to copy the “crip and blood” lifestyle, get the f.u.ck outta here with that nonsense, we got fake ass bloods from the south, fake ass bloods and crips from new york, all you ni.g.gaz fugazi your favorite rapper bangs and he dont even know what street he banging for LMFAO. fu.c.k outta here chump, the west is lit and ni.g.g.az all over the world copy our style. even JAPANESE people in JAPAN. fu.c.king dork
Wow. No one listens to Dre anymore? He can disappear for 10 years and come back to make the best beats in the game. 1 billion earned dork. The Game stays selling albums. Everyone worldwide respects what the west has done for Hip-Hop. If it wasn’t for N.W.A. None of theses MC’s would be able to spit what they feel. You are obviously a ignorant MF
Dude Die already. Yeah it’s more crack babies than ever. But Clever rapping? You mean REAL MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE?
Look at this Uruk-hai looking mother fucker just making blanket statements. Fuck you
False, when somebody truly nice rolls around it’s undeniable!
Definition a Wacka (Wack-A@@) and his music (?)= A tree that falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it fall…
This lame needs to get his head out his ass and smell the coffee instead of his own shit. Lamestream rappers get a little bit of shine and swear that they invented rap and got a rank next to God. He should put up some of his sellout money against a clever rapper live, get obliterated, then start his healing process. Until then, shut the fuck up and make your dumb ass music you egotistical parasite.
In the same way that Mickey D’s is poppin… but a home cooked meal will always take precedence. Waka is trapped in the moment and because he does have fans, he is insulated in his non-rapping ass bubble…
What does he care, he was never even the slightest bit “clever”.
The hood don’t listen to Kendrick.??? Nigga where you from??? I’m from south central L.A. and niggas fuck with k.dot
Guess you sucka niggas can say whatever you want with no reality behind it…. And i fuck with Flocka but nigga STFU. Niggas been waiting for your follow up for 6 years
