Gucci Mane Speaks On Fixing His Relationship With Waka Flocka

waka-flocka-gucci-mane-rapradar

Judging from a recent update to this post, Waka Flocka still isn’t on very good terms with Gucci Mane. Recently, La Flare spoke to XXL about working things out with his still contractually obligated artist, and in a new interview with FADER (read it in its entirely here) he speaks more on the issue.

You’ve said you’d like to work things out with Waka, and that you’ll release a Brick Squad album this summer. Will Waka appear on that album?
He’ll definitely be on the album, just because we’ve recorded so much material to date that we were planning to put on the Brick Squad album anyway. So no matter if we work things out or not, whether he drops his next album on 1017 Brick Squad or Brick Squad Monopoly or however the situation works out, he definitely will be on the Brick Squad album. Those songs are already recorded. And we’re gonna push forward and try to let him drop the next three albums that he’s contracted to drop on my label. Cause at the end of the day it’s still business. I pride myself on being a great businessman and I think he’ll honor what he committed to and we’ll push forward.

Do you think you and Waka will be friends in the future?
I hope so. This isn’t the first time that me and Waka been at odds with each other. We always work it out. This is like the sixth or seventh time. I don’t see no difference between this and the last one.

UPDATE: Gucci Mane Announces Brick Squad Compilation Album

We don’t know exactly when it’s coming, but we now know the next big posse to be dropping a compilation project: Gucci’s Brick Squad. I’m still waiting for the official Guwop/Flocka reconciliation, too.

UPDATE:

@BaiyuMusic Feat. @Jermaine_Riley – Skip A Beat

a0745108521_10

Produced by Grand Staff, Baiyu gets together with Jermaine Riley for her latest, which she breaks down below. You can also check out the lyrics to the song on the next page.

I admit that I can be a bit of a control freak sometimes and I’d like to think that I have things together, yet there’s a part of me that wants to lose control and give in to love. Being with someone that just takes your breath away makes it feel okay to be a bit clumsy or silly. If skipping a beat makes me trip and fall, at least I know that I’ll be falling for someone who’s there to catch me!

!llmind – Beats For Kanye West (Instrumental EP)

westkan

Emcees rejoice. These were all done for Cruel Summer, by the way.

“Kanye West is undoubtedly one of the most exciting producer/artists to emerge in the last decade. His music is one of the few I can safely say I whole-heartedly admire (next to the late great J. Dilla). I had the pleasure of producing “The Morning” off of 2012′s highly anticipated “Kanye West Presents: G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer” LP. During the creation of that song, and between the months of July 2012 – March 2013, I created a handful of tracks with Kanye West in mind. This is a collection of some of that music. It features collaborations and co-production from my long time friend Symbolyc One (Produced Kanye West’s “Power”, “Murder 2 Excellence” on Watch The Throne & part of Kanye’s “Very G.O.O.D. Beats” entity), Dr. Know Jr., M31RK, Hippie Sabotage, Kailiin Yong & The Frontrunnerz. I had so much fun creating this stuff, and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.” – !llmind

Just Blaze & Young Guru On Hard Knock TV (Part 2)

Just Blaze and Young Guru sit down for an exclusive conversation on Hard Knock TV. In Part 2 Just Blaze and Young Guru start off talking about early Rocafella days and how they think there won’t be a conglomerate like that again for several reasons. As the interview continues they share stories of how Keep It Real Wednesdays came about and how producers would get laughed out of the studio if they didn’t bring their a game. Just Blaze goes on to say how he decided who got what beats including stories of how Cam’ron got the beat for Welcome to New York City so Jay-Z could jump on the track and how Just Blaze made the beat for Roc Da Mic for Freeway and then Beanie Sigel heard it and jumped on it.
