Flockaveli
Flockaveli is the debut studio album by American rapper Waka Flocka Flame. It was released through 1017 Brick Squad, Asylum, and Warner Bros. Records on October 5, 2010. The title of the album is a portmanteau of Waka Flocka Flame's name and that of the Italian political theorist Machiavelli, and was inspired by fellow American rapper Tupac Shakur, whose final stage name and pseudonym before his death was Makaveli. The album was recorded at Next Level Studios in Houston, NightBird Recording Studios in West Hollywood, and S-Line Ent. in Atlanta.
Upon its release, Flockaveli received generally positive reviews from critics, who complimented its musical intensity, brazen lyrics, and gangsta rap ethos. The album debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 37,000 copies in the United States. As of August 15, 2011, the album sold 400,000 copies in the United States.
Flockaveli is a crunk album. It was primarily produced by Lex Luger, whose bombastic, grimly-programmed production incorporates drill 'n' bass 808 trills, bass kicks, hand claps, confrontational beats, dense synthesizers, and shifting sub-bass layers. Waka Flocka Flame's unrefined street raps feature constant ad libs. According to Pitchfork Media's David Drake, the songs reduce gangsta rap to its archetypical themes: "hypermasculine children of the drug trade, reckless fatalism, intensity, and physicality ... Waka's aggression is the survivalist reaction of the powerless, directed toward the threats of the immediate environment."
The album's lead single, titled "O Let's Do It" was released on April 14, 2009. The song features guest appearances from a fellow American rapper Cap, with production by L-Don Beatz. The song peaked at number 62 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The remix to "O Let's Do It" was released, from which features guest appearances from fellow American rappers Diddy, Rick Ross, and Gucci Mane.
The album's second single, titled "Hard in da Paint" was released on May 13, 2010. The song was produced by Lex Luger. In July 2010, a music video for the song was released. The remix to "Hard in da Paint" was released, from which features guest appearances from American singer Ciara and fellow American rapper Gucci Mane.
The album's third single, titled "No Hands" was released on August 17, 2010. The song features guest appearances from fellow American rappers Roscoe Dash and Wale, with production by Drumma Boy. The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his highest-charting single in the United States. It is his best-selling single of all time, being a certified diamond by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The album's fourth and final single, "Grove St. Party" was released on February 15, 2011. The song features a guest appearance from fellow American rapper Kebo Gotti, with its production by Lex Luger. The song has charted at number 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
There are also music videos for the songs such as "Snake in the Grass" (featuring Cartier Kitten), "Bustin' at Em", "For My Dawgs", and "Live By the Gun" (featuring Ra Diggs and Uncle Murda.) On October 18, 2010, Waka Flocka Flame performed "Smoke, Drank" live on high-definition TV at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood.
