Waka Flocka Flame, some of his lyrics are, like, common sentences. But just the way he is, and the way he delivers it, makes it this crazy metal hip-hop.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't get into rap to be no lyrical genius. I got into rap to feed my family and help the people in need around me, that's it. A lot of people say, 'Man, Waka Flocka ain't go no lyrics,' so I was like, 'Yeah, you right!'
He doesn't make it so complicated but just really allows the lyric to come through even though there's a lot of production going on. I think that's the key and that's the magic, it's making sure that people could still connect with the lyrics while they're on the dance floor.
It's a combination of melody and lyrics, not one without the other. It's a confluence of these different elements that makes something powerful.
One thing a lyricist must learn is not to fall in love with his own lines. Once you learn that, you can walk away from the lyric and look at it with a reasonable degree of objectivity.
Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
A lot of underground hip-hop will inspire me as far as rhyme patterns - really wordy, intelligent lyrics.
Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
A lot of rap music can get repetitive.
The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.
Waka Flocka is a product, a franchise, a brand, a label... And a good guy!
