The Waka Flocka Flame Theory

A few days ago, I learned that it takes less than 3 Waka Flocka Flame or Gucci Mane songs played in a row for my thoughts toward the DJ to turn homicidal. Obviously, I am not blogging from prison, so I resisted my strong urge to grab a speaker and bludgeon to death the person [...]
