A-Wax f\/ Waka Flocka Flame – \u201cShow The Cash<\/a>\u201d (Konvict Fake Signees, 2011)
<\/strong>
A-Wax is a rapper from Pittsburg, CA who I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve talked about and we\u2019re not going to talk about right now because I\u2019m very tired. He made a song with Flocka and it\u2019s nice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think part of why I like Flocka so much is because his lyrics are built around statements more than rhymes. It’s what is so primary about crunk shit, where the chant is just as important. Lil Jon recognized this very well but I think where Waka differs is that Lil Jon never rapped, Waka has made it the very essence of his style. Yes he rhymes but those rhymes are built around one line statements for the most part.<\/p>\n

This is also the appeal of d-beat, hardcore, metal whatever to me, where the vocals tend to be shouted slogans. It’s perfect for yelling at an audience that is caught up in a fury. I think this is why it works so well for Waka. Most of the time he’s got lines that if just repeated could be the chorus themselves.<\/p>\n

People complain that Waka has no lyrics or whatever the fuck but I think they are missing what he’s great at. He doesn’t need lyrics because that is not what compliments his style the best. He’s is perfect at fight music because of this, I mean fuck the dude uses his own name as a background chant, that’s the beauty of Get Buck. Waka was able to flip that and use his own name, well when he’s not yelling baow baow baow, but I find that to be great and really a brilliant way to make songs.<\/p>\n

Yes I think that there are similarities in the appeal of both of these songs:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now I’m not saying Waka is doing any of this consciously but it was something I noticed the other day when listening to some All Pigs Must Die and Discharge records. I don’t think it’s that far of a stretch of an idea and it does make sense to me anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
