I met Waka at the Airport in Atlanta and dude was so cool and laidback. He even hooked up by putting me on the list for the show he was performing back home that same day. He even saw me in the crowd and gave me the 👊🏾 coolest guy ever.
@@cousinchris5851 Without waka then there’s no chief keef. No keef and then you have none of this current generation of artists. Sit this one out pops lol
The Flocka I grew up listening to was robbing stealing an killing. People always said he was ignorant an dum . But Mann I’m glad to say he one of my fav Rappers, him an Slim Dunk. He really came a long way to where he at now. Shout out Wacka Flocka
By far one of the best interviews I've seen in a very long time. It wasn't just that waka was speaking facts and knowledge for a hour straight. It was also Shannon asking great questions and allowing waka to speak. 💯💪🏿😤
Waka Flocka is a good representation of someone that used their star power and positively impacted the community/industry. He's way more intelligent then the average artist.
What Waka had to say was eye opening and very inspirational on a spiritual level. I to had to grow and evolve out of survival mode, and totally transform my way of living. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been rewarding. Taking better care of myself has awarded the universe the opportunity to do the same. So thanks for sharing Waka and Shay!
Waka is changing the world from the country to the state to the city to the block. He walks the talk and changes lives of those he has helped. Love the energy and needed the message. Keep on going harder.
This sit down came in nothing less than amazing! Shay doing some amazing work right here. Just like Flock said, Shay should’ve been doing this 20 years ago
Thanks Unc for having Waka on. He has matured over the years. I'm glad he's comfortable in his space and dropping jewels while do it. This was a refreshing interview. Thanks Unc Thanks for another 🔥 interview.
@@paulrhowell lol only one guy that does interviews out of everyone you name n that's 50cent, I'm all over podcast,Master P how could you leave him out, he don't drink n was on drink champs ... Jeezy too
I used to hoop at these apartments on the southside. Me and Waka both over 6’2” so we guarded each other. He was hella aggressive in the paint but I used to light him up from the 3. Great competition. Good to see his growth as a man because we used be about to knuckle up every other play. 🏀😂
Its easy to forget, Waka released a lot of music in his career. I dont blame him for being over the music making grind. Time to cash your chips and invest, and take care of self, health, and family. So much respect for Waka.
I could listen to him speak for hours. So mature, wise, down to earth, and humble. One of the best interviews. So glad I watched it. My only critique…it ended too soon
Excellent interview but not just becuz Shannon was asking great questions, but because it is awesome to see a grown man be so honest about his life!!! Always loved you Waka but mad respect for you even more now!!!
Shannon Sharpe has now earned a my respect and a new Subscriber he let Waka speak and didn't cut him off at the best part of the interview ( hustling with no business sense)..
I'm from UK.. if u ask me about waka flocka song I can't name non today but... This dude give real interviews from breakfast club to this one... shay shay this is dope.. I'm not surprise u always think out of the box. Realest brother. GOD continue bless ya fr fr.
Good interview Shay 🙏🏾 Waka took ACCOUNTABILITY for his decisions. If more people would learn to accept their mistakes and make positive choices not to harm themselves or others... We'd have a new world 💯❣️
Waka’s been smart before he made it. Him making it and being exposed to a new world where anything is possible as long as you have the knowledge is all he needed to grow into the man he always knew he wanted to become. Love this man’s wisdom.
Yes, I do remember Waka being one of if not the only artist frequenting festivals specifically overseas. The only other cross over I remember doing this prior was DMX with Woodstock in the 90s
To this day Hard in the Paint is one of my favorite tracks ever. I remember his mixtapes Lebron Flocka James and Du Flocka Rant. Love this interview because its always funny that he says he cant rap (and I believe he really thinks that because he put out a mixtape called I Cant Rap) but he was one of my favorite artists while in college. I truly respect his growth as an individual.
Love flocka, he's a real dude and not afraid to be wrong and grow from it. One of the most fun shows I ever went to as well, he had a huge grin on his face the whole show and was super nice to everyone as well. You could tell he was having as good of a time as we were. Much respect!
Quality conversation. Waka kept eluding to external and internal success being a product of the power of the mind, and that he continuously seeks progression and conscious evolution. At one point he said he could be missing his limbs and be straight cause he has his mind. That speaks to the power of that thing we have between our ears. Nothing but game and an introspective look at his character all interview. Salute
I’ve never heard Waka speak before and I’m loving what he has to say. He’s definitely someone that these young kid and men need to look up to or aspire to be like. He has a good head in his shoulders!
Any inner city youth who are wilding should be shown this so that they know the power of growth. But give them context. Show them some of Waka's videos, old interviews, and/or maybe let them see Gucci and Waka. Let them see that these men were savages. Then, let them see this video. The troubled youth need to know that who they are now is not who they can become. This is truly a magnificent transformation and inspiring. What makes it resonate is that Waka has evolved and has not become a suit or talking head. You can see he's not a punk or a lame. His value of self and his priorities have shifted. Glad you are still alive Flocka.
This is definitely one of my favorite interviews . I love seeing this side of Waka Song that comes to mind: NO HANDS and Round of Applause ties with Grove St Party

Flocka deserves more flowers for being him
Facts
His momma needs the flowers, she's the unsung goat of the industry
Big facts
He's very self aware❤

Met him at Warped Tour 2016 - he’s got the most genuine energy
It made me smile to see him speaking about his Mama Deb she deserves her flowers
People seem to forgot that waka is a true pioneer and one of the most influential artists of our generation
With all due respect for Waka, man gtFoh

Met Waka backstage at a festival in Buffalo years ago. Hands down the most polite and down to earth artist I’ve met.
Love that: " aye Bro, he not smiling, what's wrong wit him? Yo, give him some shots or he gotta go home"
Shannon’s interviews are just getting better and better🔥
Powerful interview! Much respect to Waka for bringing this kind of light and energy to the community.
Very efficacious interview!!
bruh waka is so smart.
hes one of those lowkey insightful ppl you wouldnt think of because of the music .
enjoyed this.
Waka is a grown man this is definitely a good move He shows his growth as a man and what every artist should be doing

Never was a fan of his music but for 10 years been a fan of the man. He ALWAYS drops jewelz and been a smart brotha.

Spot on analysis
I’m glad you stated it like that without disrespecting him. I wish others can see this comment and apply that to themselves
Same
People don't understand you can separate a person from their JOB.... He's an artist by career...but an evolving man in the streets! I LOVE him!
Waka is changing the world from the country to the state to the city to the block. He walks the talk and changes lives of those he has helped. Love the energy and needed the message. Keep on going harder.
Man… this was a GREAT EPISODE!!! Loved it!!! Waka stays giving 💎’s ; plus he thrives on Positivity… 🙏🏽
This sit down came in nothing less than amazing! Shay doing some amazing work right here. Just like Flock said, Shay should’ve been doing this 20 years ago

I’m so proud of Waka. His mom and dad did well raising him. I wish more men in rap were like him.
So glad this interview was at the start of the year. Waka is bringing out the best energy all 2023!
Finally a rapper that I can actually learn something from 👏🏽
………. There’s quite a bit of others that are positive as well. Flocka is amazing to!! Just saying there’s many positive ones as well

Im already on that vibrational frequency and im glad to hear shay give this man a voice to spread the energy
Not the interview I was expecting in the best way possible!! Waka is very impressive.. I respect his mindset, wish others would be more like him..
The interview I didn’t know I needed… protect Waka … he had came a long way… a completely different mindset.. respect 🤞🏾💪🏾
This is the interview that should have gone viral! Excellent interview!
“My mother was Superwoman” 💪🏾
18:20 Waka still LOYAL and he's grown an learned so much on his journey. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Waka Flocka is more progressive and forwarding thinking than people give him credit for!
I’m so happy for Waka man fr , seeing him on the southside of Atlanta coming up to what he became today is definitely inspiring! Keep it up brother ✊🏾
Waka is really a vet in this music game. Some people like to forget he sonned a lot of these artists TODAY!
Clique>Crew>Company>Corporation. Great to see growth
You can tell the maturity and a man
By the distance travel
The Waka and Coach Sanders interviews have been the best one's so far.
Shannon's podcast is a gem. Every convo is so insightful
Shannon Sharpe has now earned a my respect and a new Subscriber he let Waka speak and didn't cut him off at the best part of the interview ( hustling with no business sense)..
Excellent interview. This man is a great example to the younger generation coming up.
I met flocka in September of 2022 in the airport. this dude is cool as a fan. We talked like we grew up together.
If you know waka you know he has grown and matured tremendously!. Proud of waka man.

Good interview Shay 🙏🏾
Waka took ACCOUNTABILITY for his decisions. If more people would learn to accept their mistakes and make positive choices not to harm themselves or others... We'd have a new world 💯❣️
This has been one of my favorite episodes!!! Bright young man dropping truth & knowledge! Got to respect his growth!
Waka’s been smart before he made it. Him making it and being exposed to a new world where anything is possible as long as you have the knowledge is all he needed to grow into the man he always knew he wanted to become. Love this man’s wisdom.
Thats so true, he literally be dancing and having fun with the fans.
Nothing like being comfortable being the man you are and not who THEY want you to be while continuously growing for self along the way.
Yes, I do remember Waka being one of if not the only artist frequenting festivals specifically overseas. The only other cross over I remember doing this prior was DMX with Woodstock in the 90s
I didn't know any of this
To this day Hard in the Paint is one of my favorite tracks ever. I remember his mixtapes Lebron Flocka James and Du Flocka Rant. Love this interview because its always funny that he says he cant rap (and I believe he really thinks that because he put out a mixtape called I Cant Rap) but he was one of my favorite artists while in college.

What a great interviewer , the way wacka displayed his enlightenment was amazing
Eyes water to see Waka keep going!! He a legend, and a pure advisor
This was a GREAT interview! Shoutout to Flocka for the growth! 💪🏽💪🏽
Utmost respect for him! He’s nothing like I perceived him to be!! Thank GOD for GROWTH and WISDOM!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Shannon gets better and better with every episode, imagine if he did this full time!
This is a great interview. I hope the younger generation hears this message. Much respect 🙏

Wacka's "freestyle" from like 1:02:53 to 1:03:37 was real deal. Its whole alot about life contained in that segment
“I don’t really got aim so you best take cover, Waka Flocka Flame this the intro mother 🤬.”😂
I love Waka’s growth. It’s beautiful to see.
Another one for the books. Great job Shannon💪🏾💪🏾. The growth and maturity of Wacka is evident and a good look.
This was an outstanding interview. Waka isn’t afraid to be vulnerable and authentic. This is an education and higher learning experience.
The more and more I hear Waka speak. The more and more I like him. Dude has a good head on his shoulders.
This is one of the best interviews. Thank you Shannon
Classic interview. Big Flame and Unc Shay both are very inspirational. For anybody who read this keep pushing don't stop, greatness await you.💯💯
I love seeing this waka because I remember watching videos of him wylin
This man growth is astounding. I remember his interview on 106 and park to now. It’s mind blowing 🤯.

Living in Chicago I watched first hand the influence of Waka. Dreads n all 💯
I promise Waka got to be the most loved transplant in Atlanta. He’s literally an honorary Grady Baby to us. Dope interview. No flaw in him
"When God bless you, you have to change your ways - you have to".
I’m proud of Flocka.. good for him.
You can tell that Waka is in a really peaceful and calm space right now. You can also see how much he's grown over the years
Shannon does this effortlessly. Definitely wasn't expecting this
This is definitely one of my favorite interviews . I love seeing this side of Waka
Song that comes to mind: NO HANDS and Round of Applause ties with Grove St Party
I really needed to hear this. Waka is on another level of understanding. Good to see people growing, it's necessary.
Waka ain’t lying he def came to south Memphis in the hood .. straight chilling
I was a big Waka Flocka fan and I’m from Chicago I’ve been saying for years how he change the culture in Chicago and how it segued into drill music
“I deserved that bullet..”
I wonder how many people really wil appreciate the power of what he just said…
So impressive
Dear Young Rappers, listen and learn. Waka Flocka not only stayed alive, but he evolved into a man he never thought he could be.
Bricksquad!! Waka was a scary dude back then happy to see him in a different light. I tune in everytime I see him sit down and talk.
Waka changed his whole mind set and now look at him on a whole different level
This man was part of the greatest moments of hiphop history that will forever live on
WOW MY FAVORITE EPISODE. THANK YOU SO MUCH SHANNON AND FLOCKA FOR THIS🙏
Loved this interview Shannon, I try and catch most of them, do your thing. Blessings for you in 2023.
