Waka Flocka Flame said he’s better at making bops instead of writing bars and he’s fine with it — and Twitter wasn’t here for that kind of negativity.

If you partied during the early aughts, Flocka probably was on rotation. Maybe he wasn’t the best lyricist, but when it was time to turn up, he was there. Years later, Waka has left the game and said he’s acutely aware of his lane, according to a recent interview with Complex.

"Imma be honest with you," Waka told the co-hosts Complex series Everyday Struggle. "In 2012, 2013, I had $30 million. At that point in life — I'm being, real, on my dead brother — why was I rapping? I'm rich. I wanted to be rich. So, from that time to right now, I wanted to figure out how can I become a billionaire and a multi-millionaire off of business. Because I did it with rap. I was a wack rapper, like I knew I was wack, but I was real. See what I'm saying? My realness overcame my wackness."

Self-awareness is a superpower, so it’s nothing but respect over here.

The “No Hands” rapper even shouted out some of his faves, which include KRS-One, Nas and DMX and admitted he “can't rap like them folks."

“For me, this is just me talking for me. This is me. I'm a Gemini so my only friends gon' be me," he said. "I'm a wack rapper but a hell of an entertainer.”

As Genius pointed out, this isn’t the first time Waka has admitted he isn’t the best spitter.

In 2018, he told Revolt TV he didn’t see the point in continuing his rap career because he’d “already passed $30 million.”

“Everybody I started with is rich. Everybody is happy. Everybody has kids,” he continued. “I don’t have anything else to do. Everybody else who didn’t make it, they died or got kids, my right-hand man who was running the streets with me is a pastor. Life changed for me.”

Waka might think his skills were subpar, but Twitter thinks his music still goes hard in the MF paint.

Weird hearing @WakaFlocka call his own music “wack” just because he isn’t a lyricist like Kendrick or Nas.

Dude made TOO MANY songs that had the club jumpin to talk like that. There’s space in Hip Hop for what he brought to the game too — and that’s what makes the genre great. pic.twitter.com/jQVteOH0RI

This isn’t the only rap-related opinion he’s shared this week.

On Thursday, the day the Everyday Struggle episode was released, he chided other rappers for claiming hip-hop is dangerous. Jim Jones, for example, recently argued being a rapper is more dangerous than being a soldier in a warzone, per Complex. Flocka shared his thoughts on his Instagram page.

"I've got to say this real quick, I'll probably—and I'm gonna delete this shit, but: Please stop saying rap is dangerous," Waka said. "Y'all n***as is falling into the trap. 'Cause if hip-hop is dangerous, they gon' stop booking shows around each state, stop making hip-hop popular. The f**k are y'all doing, bro?"

He blamed artists’ participation in drug culture and crime for their misfortunes.

"Hip-hop ain't dangerous, bro. This shit making more money outta any genre in the world,” he added. “Hip-hop is beautiful, bro. To be a gangbanging rapper is f**kin' dangerous, to be a drug-dealing rapper is dangerous, anything that's negative is dangerous, idiotics. F**k is y'all talking about, bro? … It ain't dangerous, y'all folks really about to cut y'all f**kin' hustle out. Fool-ass n***as, man."

DJ Akademiks asked him about the video during the interview, and Waka doubled down.

"Where I'm from it's real. That's dangerous," he stated. "Hip-hop…that's a circus. … Hip-hop is beautiful man."
