The mixtape was heavy on trap music but still left room for introspection like on "Ghetto Gold," where Waka rapped about his tribulations coming up on the streets, and "Draft Day," which he transformed from an ode to Johnny Manziel to a celebratory track about his own success.įlocka used a lot of these tracks to reinforce the sarcasm of the mixtape's title. The song, which is one of I Can't Rap's high notes, is a warning shot to any potential foe to not be caught slippin'. The raucous rhymer also dropped a preview of what's to come from his other pending album, Flockavelli 2, with one of the mixtape's few original songs "Slippin," featuring a thundering beat courtesy of Mike WiLL. Waka continued his Top 40 onslaught dropping verses over hits like Snootie Wild's "Yayo," ScHoolboy Q and BJ The Chicago Kid's "Studio" and perhaps a preview of what's to come on his EDM project, "Turn Down for What," on which he proclaimed, "I'm the turn up god." He seemed to be taking a shot at his old partner-in-rhyme Gucci Mane, using his own track, "Confused." I'm just me/Outchea making history/I feel like Malcolm X fresh from Mecca, I got enemies/Flocavelli finger f-d this industry/My money oil, Middle East/The holy ghost just entered me/The words I spit is biblical/I just reached my pinnacle/My feeling now invincible/I'm the principal/Million dollar business move, these rap n-s lookin' pitiful," jabbed Waka over uptempo drums and ominous chantings. Like most of his music, this should only be played on a hard-hitting system. The ATL rapper borrowed some of the year's hottest beats and put his fingerprint on them. 1, Waka, like 50 Cent did with Curtis, took something people tried to use against him and owned it. Waka has made a significant amount of progress with his flow since exploding onto the hip hop scene the year before with hard-hitting songs like "Hard in da Paint" and "No Hands." And with his EDM album, (appropriately titled Turn Up God) as well as the highly anticipated Flockavelli 2 both set to come out this year, the Down South rhymer is definitely doing something right. In fact, at one point during the video for Machine Gun Kelly's "Wild Boy," MGK asked him point blank if he thought of himself as a good rapper to which he quickly and unabashedly answered, "No." Waka Flockahas never claimed to be the best MC.
