10 Quick Thoughts On... Waka Flocka Flame's Flockaveli

Earlier this week I got a chance to be one of the first people to hear Waka Flocka Flame's upcoming debut album Flockaveli during a private listening session at the Asylum Records headquarters. The album was polarizing, to say the least, but fans of Flocka definitely won't be disappointed with it - it sounds exactly how you'd it expect it to. There aren't any real experimentations or departures, it's just 16 tracks of FLOCKA!. Instead of doing a traditional review, here are ten quick thoughts I had while listening to the album. 

1. I can't wait for the righteous anger of 2Pac fans when they find out this album is called Flockaveli.

2. Flocka might have this ad-lib game on lock (FLOCKA! POW POW POW!)

3. Having Lex Luger produce the majority of the album is actually a good look. Though most of the tracks sound the same it gives the album cohesion - more artists should hook up with one producer for their entire project. 

4. The song titles on this album are extremely literal - e.g. 'Bussin' At 'Em,' 'Bang,' 'Fuck The Club Up,' 'T.T.G. (Trained To Go),' 'Homies,' 'Live By The Gun.' They all sound exactly as you'd imagine they would.

5. A collabo between Waka, Plies and Lil B the Based God needs to happen. Sooner rather than later. I would pay good money to hear this. If we could get Max B to phone in a verse that would be swagtastic.
