The Top 5 Honorees.
AND…
AllHipHop.com: AllHipHop has a series called “Top 5 Dead or Alive,” where we ask artists to give their top 5 artists and why. Can you give your top 5 rappers? Waka Flocka: Yeah I got a Top 6. AllHipHop.com: Top 6? Alright, lets hear it.
Waka Flocka:Yeah I like Nas, I like Jay-Z, I like Eazy-E, I like Gucci. AllHipHop.com: Okay. Waka Flocka: I like Pac, I like Big. I like a lot of people. I’m into them folk, them folk hard. AllHipHop.com: I have to ask you about Eazy-E, that’s the first time he’s popped up on the list even though he’s a legend.
Waka Flocka: Eazy’s a gangster. That’s all I’m into, drug dealers and basketball. That’s all I looked up too, to tell you the truth, so homie was it.
AllHipHop.com: Okay. Waka Flocka: I like Jay-Z because he’s rich. He knew what he wanted. Nas, can’t nobody f**k with Nas. He’s the best rapper, personally. I like Tupac because I was f**ked up as a kid, going through a struggle. I like B.I.G. because homie was a stupid player. And Gucci, I can relate to him because I’m from the South. So that’s why I like them folk.
