2	Waka Flocka Flame (real name Juaquin James Malphurs, born May 31, 1986) is an American rapper from Atlanta. He is a well known associate of Gucci Mane, owing to them once having been the two leading rappers off the 1017 Brick Squad label, (although [[RageAgainstTheMentor they are currently feuding]]). Waka is well known for his sledgehammer delivery and foul language. He has released two full albums to date: ''Flockaveli'' and [[LighterAndSofter "Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family"]]. The four singles from his first album were "O Let's do it", [[SignatureSong "Hard in da Paint"]], "No Hands", and "Grove St. Party". Triple F yielded the singles "Round of Applause", "I Don't Really Care", and "Get Low".
3	----
4	!Waka provides examples of:
5	* AlbumTitleDrop: From the song "Bustin' at 'em": "[[WordSaladLyrics Grow a sumo on my face]], call me Flockaveli"
6	* BattleCry: "Everywhere I go I'm yelling BRIIIICKSQUUAAAD loud as shit"
7	** And he does tend to yell it on as many songs as possible
8	* ClusterFBomb: Waka is a very big fan of this (even by rap standards). Listening to the 'clean' version of "Hard in the Paint" is almost like listening to an instrumental.
9	* DeepSouth: The song "Candy Paint & Gold Teeth" is a tribute to the South and features fellow southern rappers Ludacris and Bun B.
10	* FoodSongsAreFunny: However "Candy Paint & Gold Teeth" also is full of food references including the chorus ending in "Soul food [[MemeticMutation DINNERS DINNERS DINNERS DINNERS]]"
11	* DodgeTheBullet: In the video for "Bustin' at em" Waka does this with ease.
12	* DramaticGunCock: Used as a sound effect in a lot of his songs, often indicating the start of a verse
13	* FakeLoud: The chorus to "Ballin Out"
14	* GangBangers: Waka is a Blood, with good relations to other gangs.
15	-->Keep this shit 300, put that shit on my hood (Flocka)\
16	Crips fucking with me, G's and the Vice Lords (Brrrrrrr)
17	* GrievousBottleyHarm: In the video for MGK's "Wild Boy" Waka replies to a host asking what he does for a living with a champagne bottle to the head.
18	* HarshVocals: Sometimes Flocka's adlibs can get very very rough. One of special note is the "SQUAAAAD" after the first verse of Rooster in my Rari, which sounds like a dying hellbeast
19	* LargeHam: Anytime he yells '''FLOCKA!''' or '''BRICKKKKK SQUAAAAADDDDD!''' or practially everything else he ever says.
20	* LyricalColdOpen: "Fuck the Club Up"
21	* LyricalTic: Many of his songs will feature a lot of flockas, a lot of wakas, and a lot of bricksquads
22	** {{Scatting}}: Sometimes can result in this
23	* MurderBallad: It would be easier to list the songs of his which weren't these. He seems to enjoy killing people, or at least pretending to kill people.
24	* NWordPrivileges
25	* OdeToIntoxication: "Grove St. Party" and "Smoke, Drank" most prominently
26	* PerpetualFrowner: From the chorus of "Luv Dem Gun Sounds": [[TheStoic I don't talk, I don't laugh, I just frown.]]
27	* RageAgainstTheMentor: Suddenly got into a feud with his mentor Gucci Mane in 2013.
28	* RhymingWithItself: Many a youtube comment has pointed out Waka's ability to rhyme the n-word with itself.
29	* SelfBackingVocalist: In most of his songs, even if he has a featured artist to back him up.
30	* StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "Round of Applause" is not about the clapping of hands...
31	* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: The song Ballin Out has a section that goes a little like something something like your bruh for a few lines
32	* SongParody: [[http://youtu.be/qv9VDSIm_Oo This]] parody of Hard in da Paint caused a large amount of people who don't regularly listen to rap music to learn of Waka
33	* SopranoAndGravel: Mostly done in singles to achieve a more mainstream R&B sounding hook
34	* TattooedCrook: among the most inked in the rap game, including a large MOB [[note]]Member Of Bloods[[/note]] on his chest.
35	* {{Trap Music}}: one of the most succesful and visible examples of the genres along with his mentor Music/GucciMane.
