Waka Flocka Talks about his Robbery

I'm not usually into this sorta thing but Waka Flocka tells the story about how he was recently shot during an armed robbery attempt at a gas station in Atlanta. Pretty interesting story. Glad he's alright. (via Miss Info):

So Icey Horns

So when I ride around in my car I usually have my ipod set to shuffle, and the last few days it's been pretty excellent in queuing up some great Gucci/Juiceman/Waka Flocka tracks. Along with the now universally known sound of Casio King Zaytoven, I've started to notice a lot of my favorite tracks from these dudes involve horn samples (or keyboards set to "trumpet").

I'm not in the loop enough to know definitively who produces a lot of these tracks, but at least a couple have been definitively done by DJ Speedy. Anyway I don't really have much analysis to lend to these tracks, other than Gucci can ride pretty much any beat he wants at this point, Juiceman's hyperactive kid flow works well with a brass sample, and "O Let's Do It" speaks for itself. While a lot of these tracks tend towards that frenetic, high-energy sound you might assume when horns and ticking hi-hats meets, both "Mag Song" from the Bird Money tape and "Follow Me" from Gucciamerica creep excellently in a dirty funk way like "Cannon" off Wayne's Dedication 2 tape. Also, not enough people have recognized "Good Night" for being the instant classic it is, and that big band sample from Old Blue Eyes on "Frank Sinatra" legitimately swings.
