Waka Flocka Flame (real name Juaquin Malphurs) is an American rapper from the Atlanta scene. He is a well known associate of Gucci Mane, owing to them being the most popular rappers off the 1017 Brick Squad label. Waka is well known for his sledgehammer delivery and foul language. His best-known album Flockaveli popularized Trap Music. The four singles from this album were "O Let's do it", "Hard in da Paint", "No Hands", and "Grove St. Party".

Discography:

Studio albums

Flockaveli (2010)
Ferrari Boyz (2011, with Gucci Mane)
Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family (2012)
Flockaveli 2 (2019)

Waka Flocka Flame provides examples of the following tropes:

Album Title Drop: From the song "Bustin' at 'em": "Grow a sumo on my face, call me Flockaveli".
Cluster F-Bomb: Waka is a very big fan of this. Listening to the 'clean' version of "Hard in the Paint" is almost like listening to an instrumental.
Fake Loud: The chorus to "Ballin Out".
Grievous Bottley Harm: 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.
Lyrical Cold Open: "Fuck the Club Up".
Lyrical Tic: Many of his songs will feature a lot of flockas, a lot of wakas, and a lot of bricksquads.
- Scatting: Sometimes can result in this.
Ode to Intoxication: "Grove St. Party" and "Smoke, Drank" most prominently.
Rhyming with Itself: Many a youtube comment has pointed out Waka's ability to rhyme the n-word with itself.
Self-Backing Vocalist: In most of his songs, even if he has a featured artist to back him up.
Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks: "Round of Applause" is not about the clapping of hands...
Something Something Leonard Bernstein: The song Ballin Out has a section that goes a little like something something like your bruh for a few lines.
Song Parody: 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.
