Waka Flocka Says He Doesn’t Know Where Hip-Hop Started, Preparing For Other Endeavors

[GreenL420]

While in New York City recently Waka Flocka Flame spoke about his lack of interest in Hip-Hop, his philanthropic work, and his move into television and film.

“I’m not a Hip-Hop fan,” says Waka. “I can’t even tell you where Hip-Hop started. God’s honest truth.” The 26-year-old went on to share that he is more interested in exploring other genres like EDM.

Outside of music, Waka revealed he is working on a show for Cartoon Network and a few movie deals. He is also focused on a several community-based projects.

One of his charitable ventures has hit a snag. The Atlanta-based rapper said he is having trouble getting approval to build a YMCA in his neighborhood.

Good to see rappers today don't care about knowing where there genre comes from. NOT.

Show me not stagnant! Almost all of the EDM I've heard sounded roughly, and often specifically, the same. And, yah, hip-hop is pretty weak and stagnant in general.

[skitzo]

never heard a single song by him

hung out with his cousin tho lol

A few of these I like, but all but like 1 of them sounds just like the stuff I used to listen to in the mid-90s. Technically, pretty stagnant. Maybe that's just a feature of the genre? I do think that Bingo Players track fun and sticks out as not sounding just like the rest. The last two are excellent examples of what I mean by stagnant, they could easily have fit right in 20 years ago and not even stymied the waters.

This sounds like a decent evolution of EDM:

(I can't stand almost anything else this group has made. lol.)

I think maybe EDM by definition is limited to its boom-jah-boom-jah driving beats, synthetic instrumentation, and sampling, which leaves a stagnant odor to most of its leavings. Maybe? Not that that means its bad, just a side-effect of being what it is? I dunno.

From now on call me Admiral Buzzkill Overgeneralzation.
