I can say with a straight face that I enjoy a lot of Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka’s ignorant mongrel music together. It isn’t earth shattering, but I don’t expect, ask or need that from them. Social commentary? If countin’ bricks and not being able to re-up is social commentary, then hell yeah. Rapid fire wordplay? Not that either. Twenty albums in a year? C’mon Waka, did you even believe that? They know what their lane is and and stay on that course. I respect that. Even their parodies are classic.

Now all that’s in jepordy because apparently Gucci ain’t Flocka’s “muthaf!ckin n!gga” anymore. Hell, they don’t even communicate. It apparently all stems from when Radric gave Mama Flame the deuces a few months back. What’s a Waka Flocka without a Gucci Mane?

Do you know why Gucci and Nicki decided to part ways with your mom?

I can say when you start getting hot, there are a lot of people that get in your ear. I call that the devil. It’ll turn you against the people that helped you. They must have just felt like they needed a change. Maybe they felt like other people can take their career somewhere else. I don’t know. Just like LeBron going to the Heat. I ain’t mad, though, or got problems with anybody. Moms is good; her bills are paid.

Has the split affected your relationship with Gucci?

Yeah, all the way… All the way. I ain’t got beef or anything but it has changed.

So what’s your relationship like now?

There is none. We don’t talk anymore.

What about with Nicki?

Nicki is still my homey, though. I got her number and can call her whenever. My momma ain’t got no problems with her or anything either. Let’s make that clear.

Hip-Hop just isn’t conducive to friendships. Reality seems to lose its meaning once you start banking money – especially when you’re a young dude from the projects seeing more than you’ve ever seen in your life. In all honesty though, VIBE’s interview with Waka wasn’t bad and one in which I’m pretty sure is his most revealing to date. I now know these things about Juaquin Malphurs.

1. Lex Luger – the producer of “Hard In The Paint,” “B.M.F.” and “MC Hammer – has 12 tracks on Flocka’s debut album. He even referred to him as “my Dr. Dre.”

2. Speaking of the debut album, it’s called Flockavelli because of the his admiration for Afeni’s baby boy. That should go over well.

3. Like another TSS “favorite,” The Flame doesn’t believe is wasting trees. Instead, he writes creates all of his music with the assistance of smart phones. The downside? He lost two mixtapes (roughly 50 songs) when his iPhone crashed. “Tragic.” (c) Mr. Omar from “Everybody Hates Chris”

4. He is actually from New York. Queens, to be exact. Remember Run DMC’s “Mary, Mary?” Yeah, that’s about Waka’s aunt.

5. I knew his brother was murdered. What I didn’t know was that he was murdered by their next door neighbor.
