Flocka's mentality should be celebrated in our community.

[@angelsosa9298]

I met Waka at the Airport in Atlanta and dude was so cool and laidback. He even hooked up by putting me on the list for the show he was performing back home that same day. He even saw me in the crowd and gave me the 👊🏾 coolest guy ever.

[@EmilyPorreca90]

Met him at Warped Tour 2016 - he’s got the most genuine energy

[@Flash_1689]

By far one of the best interviews I've seen in a very long time. It wasn't just that waka was speaking facts and knowledge for a hour straight. It was also Shannon asking great questions and allowing waka to speak. 💯💪🏿😤

[@angelica21290]

It made me smile to see him speaking about his Mama Deb she deserves her flowers

[@OptimisticKTV]

I love how Waka has evolved. It's amazing to see how he's continuing to grow and plant seeds to help others daily. Great episode Unc.

[@bokclilm300]

The Flocka I grew up listening to was robbing stealing an killing. People always said he was ignorant an dum . But Mann I’m glad to say he one of my fav Rappers, him an Slim Dunk. He really came a long way to where he at now. Shout out Wacka Flocka

[@diemmermelendez]

Met Waka backstage at a festival in Buffalo years ago. Hands down the most polite and down to earth artist I’ve met.

[@gonthebeat88]

Waka Flocka is a good representation of someone that used their star power and positively impacted the community/industry. He's way more intelligent then the average artist.

[@tama7205]

Shannon’s interviews are just getting better and better🔥

[@JelaniandKelileCast]

Love that: " aye Bro, he not smiling, what's wrong wit him? Yo, give him some shots or he gotta go home"

[@mumblrapofficial580]

I used to hoop at these apartments on the southside. Me and Waka both over 6’2” so we guarded each other. He was hella aggressive in the paint but I used to light him up from the 3. Great competition. Good to see his growth as a man because we used be about to knuckle up every other play. 🏀😂

[@beatsNduels]

As to why that was he break out single lol..... Hard in the paint

[@aag7114]

Dam bro that's dope.

[@VC-pq3ui]

I’m so proud of Waka. His mom and dad did well raising him. I wish more men in rap were like him.

[@neweezy91]

[@SecretsofTarot777]

What Waka had to say was eye opening and very inspirational on a spiritual level. I to had to grow and evolve out of survival mode, and totally transform my way of living. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been rewarding. Taking better care of myself has awarded the universe the opportunity to do the same. So thanks for sharing Waka and Shay!

[@rishardbaldwin4434]

Clique>Crew>Company>Corporation. Great to see growth

[@samsneadd]

Never was a fan of his music but for 10 years been a fan of the man. He ALWAYS drops jewelz and been a smart brotha.

[@andre-le-bone-aparte]

Waka Flocka is more progressive and forwarding thinking than people give him credit for!

[@kesheenamusic5706]

So glad this interview was at the start of the year. Waka is bringing out the best energy all 2023!

[@AL-Boogie.]

This sit down came in nothing less than amazing! Shay doing some amazing work right here. Just like Flock said, Shay should’ve been doing this 20 years ago

[@jasonlloyd2057]

I'm 53, and I want to be like Flocka when I grow up. Proud of you, King!

[@MrJustind886]

Thanks Unc for having Waka on. He has matured over the years. I'm glad he's comfortable in his space and dropping jewels while do it. This was a refreshing interview. Thanks Unc Thanks for another 🔥 interview.

[@montrellsmith7460]

I met flocka in September of 2022 in the airport. this dude is cool as a fan. We talked like we grew up together.

[@peppermint.patti808]

Not the interview I was expecting in the best way possible!! Waka is very impressive.. I respect his mindset, wish others would be more like him..

[@ericahaley722]

Waka is changing the world from the country to the state to the city to the block. He walks the talk and changes lives of those he has helped. Love the energy and needed the message. Keep on going harder.

[@cjbrown420]

“That was the name of your crew? My Friends yea” 😂😂 Waka ain’t crazy no Ricco coming his way lol

[@karlbinns7485]

Facts!!!

[@36rounds24]

Shannon Sharpe has now earned a my respect and a new Subscriber he let Waka speak and didn't cut him off at the best part of the interview ( hustling with no business sense)..

[@davoice7033]

I love seeing this waka because I remember watching videos of him wylin

[@ChalkItUpSports]

Its easy to forget, Waka released a lot of music in his career. I dont blame him for being over the music making grind. Time to cash your chips and invest, and take care of self, health, and family. So much respect for Waka.

[@Blackpearl314]

I love to hear Shannon laugh! Another great interview!

[@michellemann6362]

Me too 😅

[@S7VNofA0NE]

18:20 Waka still LOYAL and he's grown an learned so much on his journey. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@liquidxan6698]

Waka is really a vet in this music game. Some people like to forget he sonned a lot of these artists TODAY!

[@kingsupa2929]

Nothing like being comfortable being the man you are and not who THEY want you to be while continuously growing for self along the way.

[@JusB17]

Living in Chicago I watched first hand the influence of Waka. Dreads n all 💯

[@naegotti5303]

The interview I didn’t know I needed… protect Waka … he had came a long way… a completely different mindset.. respect 🤞🏾💪🏾

[@erinmccall8069]

Excellent interview but not just becuz Shannon was asking great questions, but because it is awesome to see a grown man be so honest about his life!!! Always loved you Waka but mad respect for you even more now!!!

[@Reeses248]

Shannon gets better and better with every episode, imagine if he did this full time!

[@1RobertSmith]

Wacka's "freestyle" from like 1:02:53 to 1:03:37 was real deal. Its whole alot about life contained in that segment

[@tory9403]

I lovee how Waka has grown! He's a mature, level headed man.

[@Jade-Phoenix]

I could listen to him speak for hours. So mature, wise, down to earth, and humble. One of the best interviews. So glad I watched it. My only critique…it ended too soon

[@donnab.dantzler4984]

Good interview Shay 🙏🏾 Waka took ACCOUNTABILITY for his decisions. If more people would learn to accept their mistakes and make positive choices not to harm themselves or others... We'd have a new world 💯❣️

[@marquisford9583]

You can tell the maturity and a man By the distance travel

[@Quinetia]

This is the interview that should have gone viral! Excellent interview!

[@RodBallard]

This was a GREAT interview! Shoutout to Flocka for the growth! 💪🏽💪🏽

[@itsladytruth]

No matter what I still respect and love Waka and Tammy ❤️‍🔥

[@michellemann6362]

[@Sadoodi]

Shannon's podcast is a gem. Every convo is so insightful

[@10akee]

The Waka and Coach Sanders interviews have been the best one's so far.

[@bigrod997]

Excellent interview. This man is a great example to the younger generation coming up.

[@roxybalbowza]

Eyes water to see Waka keep going!! He a legend, and a pure advisor

[@lgiii9923]

Im already on that vibrational frequency and im glad to hear shay give this man a voice to spread the energy

[@tyronmann9178]

I’m so happy for Waka man fr , seeing him on the southside of Atlanta coming up to what he became today is definitely inspiring! Keep it up brother ✊🏾

[@omikewhite8978]

If you know waka you know he has grown and matured tremendously!. Proud of waka man.

[@jmcbride]

Utmost respect for him! He’s nothing like I perceived him to be!! Thank GOD for GROWTH and WISDOM!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Mlc1080]

This and Deion is one of the best interviews you’ve done Shay gr8 job both were inspiring and encouraging

[@lonzo1169]

Waka’s been smart before he made it. Him making it and being exposed to a new world where anything is possible as long as you have the knowledge is all he needed to grow into the man he always knew he wanted to become. Love this man’s wisdom.

[@kristalpope2972]

This has been one of my favorite episodes!!! Bright young man dropping truth & knowledge! Got to respect his growth!

[@justinlowe337]

To this day Hard in the Paint is one of my favorite tracks ever. I remember his mixtapes Lebron Flocka James and Du Flocka Rant. Love this interview because its always funny that he says he cant rap (and I believe he really thinks that because he put out a mixtape called I Cant Rap) but he was one of my favorite artists while in college. I truly respect his growth as an individual.

[@luzzbangs8537]

I'm from UK.. if u ask me about waka flocka song I can't name non today but... This dude give real interviews from breakfast club to this one... shay shay this is dope.. I'm not surprise u always think out of the box. Realest brother. GOD continue bless ya fr fr.

[@tanesha8514]

Yes, I do remember Waka being one of if not the only artist frequenting festivals specifically overseas. The only other cross over I remember doing this prior was DMX with Woodstock in the 90s

[@jeromeashley9972]

I didn't know any of this

[@ProFansSports]

I’m proud of Flocka.. good for him.

[@prestothebeau]

“ion like you rappin you need to be a goon” is crazy 💀💀

Another one for the books. Great job Shannon💪🏾💪🏾. The growth and maturity of Wacka is evident and a good look.
