Welcome; Waka Flocka Love
Welcome to the inaugural post of Music Home Girl Likes where I will always guarantee to keep you guessing...
I have various likes and dislikes in music. I tend to get rather vocal about it, too. This blog will give me an outlet to explore this creative genre more in depth.
Waka Flocka Flame came onto the hip hop scene in 2009 with his breakout hit, "O' Lets Do It". Waka (named after the Muppet's Fozzie Bear who said, Waka Waka) raps in a crunk, gangsta, dirty South style, rep'n the ATL where he spent some of his youth and young adulthood. He had previously lived in the Queens Borough of New York City.
Waka Flocka Flame's most recent album, Flackaveli came out in October, 2010 and has enjoyed much air time on East Coast play lists both in the club scene and on the air waves.

My Opinion: This track, like others has some pretty remarkable language, but with that aside...I love the beats.
"Girl the way ya moving...got me in a trance. Dj turn this up...baby, it's yo jam" has had me moving on more than one occasion. I like to blast this and get in the mood to clean the house. It will be interesting to see what remixers and DJ's alike will be able to do with future tracks...especially mash ups.
I like an artist who doesn't sound like anyone else, and Waka Flocka Flame fits that bill.
This is Home Girl and I want to know what you think??

I get vocal about music too so I hope we don't piss each other off and disagree too often! :D
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to know what I think, it actually doesn't work for me. I tend to go for a strong "tune" and this doesn't have that for me. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like other stuff by him.
