Trap Brawlin'!

Entertainers feuding. Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame are bitching at each other over the direction of their label.

Two of the most controversial rappers in the entertainment industry are feuding with each other.

Did you these entertainers had collaborated on albums before all this feud started?

Did you know that hip-hop music sales are declining and these entertainers are now resorting releasing free mixtapes to stay relevant?

Atlanta is the hub of southern hip-hop. It's also the hub of trap (ghetto) music. Lyrics devoted to smuggling cocaine and other narcotics is considered Trap Music.

Yeah, I am familiar with the Trap Music rappers.

You got rappers who talk about slinging birds, and loving them "white girls". You got rappers saying they'll pop a "Molly" and smoking the kush. Trap rappers have said they've watched out for the "unmarked car".

They'll keep smoking and partying until they die (or when the money runs out).

Gucci Mane (born Radric Davis) wanted to build an empire. He created the 1017 Brick Squad and signed on Waka Flocka Flame, Young Scooter, OJ Da Juiceman, Young Dolph and even Chief Keef.

Gucci has been a perennial resident of the iron college for drug abuse and assaults.

While he tries to regain his footing, he releases mixtapes each year to promote his music and those who signed to 1017 Brick Squad.

He wanted his crew to built an empire. I guess some of the acts are looking to do things their way. And I guess this way isn't working for Gucci. So as usual, the egos start to clash.

Straight out of Hollywood is the feud between Waka Flocka Flame (born Juaquin Malphurs) and Gucci Mane. The two rappers are feuding over the direction of the label and royalties.

They're not even talking to each other right now. These issues sparked when Waka's trying to built his own empire and dissing Gucci while on tour.

They've traded barbs on the social networks and even publicly questioned each other's "gangsta" credibility.

Gucci even threaten to release him from the label (and "end his career"). The rapper stated that he'll be "happy" to sell Waka off. He'll even take a million for it.

Though it was reported that Gucci's social networks were hacked, Waka stated, "Dont let da media fool u. This shit real Shawty."

During an MTV Jams interview with Sway Calloway, Waka explained that he would never do music nor business with Gucci ever again. Neither of the rappers have explained where the controversy originated from.

Waka has stated, "I guess we both be at the finish line we just going our own routes. That's all I can say. What's the reason? Sometimes it's none of your fuckin' business what's the reason. Just understand two men went they own ways but it's no problem."

Waka's major label success, Gucci Mane was managed by his protege's mother, Deb Antney. The duo recorded a collaborative album, Ferrari Boyz, in 2011. Recently, Gucci Mane has publicly stated that he intends to include Flocka's vocals on the forthcoming 1017 Brick Squad Big Money Gang compilation without the other party's consent.

Of course, with royalties and copyright, expect this gunfight in the courtroom instead of the playground.

Earlier this year, Gucci Mane released Trap House III, his first album since leaving Atlantic Records.

These entertainers endorse gangsta rap. The lifestyle in which they're openly promoting drugs, firearms and violence. Some of the lyrics can be sexist, homophobic and slightly racist. Most gangsta rappers must talk about how they've grown up from hood to ending up in riches. This is common among new artists and veterans who have to shine in an industry that creates sharks.

They'll share tales of being surrounded by police, hearing them guns bang, and selling straight out of the trap.

Of course, they'll have bulletproof vest and heavy detail whenever they perform or do public appearances.

One thing is clear about the entertainment industry it's an art. Bill-O (Bill O'Reilly), the asshole conservative agitator blames the gangsta rap music for Trayvon Martin and Black youths committing crime in America.

Yeah, even the little cute kid who sent a prayer to President Barack Obama is considered a "thug in training" by those in the conservative agitators in the junk food media.
Waka Flocka
Waka Flocka Flame with music blogger Dianne D. The blogger left her husband after meeting Waka at a music concert.
Waka also made the news after he was revealed to be the reason for a woman's divorce.

A blogger who is a middle aged White woman became a fan of Waka. She wanted to go to a concert to see him perform despite the negative reaction from her husband. Her husband thought of rappers and Black people in a racial theme. He had some objection to his wife going to a gangsta concert.

That concert woke her and now she's kind of a "traveling member" of Waka's crew.

Dianne D is the blogger's name and she's writing about the experience.

Now, my ex-husband and I had always had problems. We were on a typical bad relationship roller coaster; good times followed by bad times followed by good times and so on. Finally, the good times were just too far between and although the bad times subsided too, we fell into a very polite and civilized existence. That is, until Waka came to town.

My ex NEVER liked rap, my interest in rap and rap artists, or my blogging about rap. When I knew Waka was coming to Ft. Lauderdale, my husband basically said he wouldn’t prevent me from going (as if) but he didn’t want me to go. When I didn’t immediately agree not to go, things got worse. He basically implied that (and I’m paraphrasing) “many black men would be putting their bodies in close proximity to mine.” Also, “since I was so enamored of Waka, if Waka asked, I might go out clubbing with him and end up doing something I’d regret.”

So, basically, the experience with my ex of the Waka concert made my mind up for me. It was time to make that break, and live my life without looking over my shoulder or being beholden to a man who didn’t appreciate me or the interesting turns my life might take. We’ve been divorced for a few months now. I couldn’t be happier.

The moral of this story? Don’t EVER let anyone else keep you from your bliss, no matter what that may be. If someone truly loves you, they will come along for the adventure. Otherwise, get the heck out and live your life to the fullest. Believe me, you’ll sleep better at night and have a song in your heart.

She concluded that: The song in MY heart will always be a song by Waka Flocka Flame.
