Hip+Hop+Hype%3A+Waka+Flocka+for+president

In an interview with Rolling Stone on April 20, 2015 the news was made official. “I am very pleased to announce today on 4/20, the best day of the year, I will be running for president,” said Juaquin Malphurs, better known by his stage name Waka Flocka Flame.

Yes, the energetic gangster rapper with dreads down his back and endless tattoos will be running for office, and judging from his announcement video, he is also an extreme marijuana activist. Who would’ve thought?

In the video, calm, collected Flocka said, “The first thing I’m going to do when in office is legalize marijuana.”

Continuing in the video, Flocka rolls a blunt with weed “presidential kush” as he calls it, and preps to talk about his biggest focus if elected into office, he explains “a blunt a day will take the pain away” with no laughter or even a smile. He continues in a serious tone to list off everything that will be okay after smoking a blunt

“Wake up, hit a blunt gotta go to work… sh** gon’ be okay”

“Look around things ain’t looking good, you roll a blunt, sh** gon’ be okay”

Continuing, he has some advice though for the kids of America,

“Schoolwork getting too hard… Don’t touch the blunt… Think about it; wait till you’re old enough.”

Flocka has a large list of things he plans to do if he makes his way into office. Among the list is no dogs in restaurants, and those who wear above a size 13 cannot walk in public, he explains “I don’t want to see your big a** feet taking up the concrete.”

Also when it comes to education, Flame will make sure students are taught more “reality skills” and they will be required learn his lyrics, if not they are sent back to the third grade.

Foreshadowing, he says he will not wear a suit in congress, because the members of congress just wear suits, argue, and sweat. That just seems irritating and uncomfortable to Flocka, he would much rather wear a t-shirt and shorts.

Later on in the interview, he refers to Hillary Clinton as his only competition, and even gives a surprise call to his future Vice President and current DJ “Woo Kid” on Facetime which was pretty hilarious.

So, take it how you want, but just know that this is serious. Waka Flocka Flame recently hit the streets to kiss babies, talk to the citizens of America, and get 5,000 signatures to approve his running.
