Waka Flocka:

Kanye is known for keeping his finger on the pulse of the moment to create something greater. After “H.A.M.” he moved on—there were no other flourishes of Waka-ness on The Throne album. But Rick Ross delved deeper into the sound, co-opting it as his own. “That’s crazy,” says Waka. “But what you gonna say? This nikka out here making 30 fukking songs with your sound. He watering it down, just putting words together that sounded good. shyt would be harder if it was the truth.” If you think Waka might be supremely pissed about the imitators, you’re right. He is. “That shyt made me tight,” he says. “nikkas built labels off our sound—like, literally. You know how many nikkas sound like Lex Luger and Southside? I go in nikkas’ studios, all their beats sound like my producers. I be like, What the fukk?” But above all he tries to maintain perspective: “You can’t be mad at something you can’t control.

Lets be real, Luger may have been with Waka during his rise but Ross put him on. Luger wouldn't have any play if it wasn't for BMF. Waka should thank Ross for giving him exposure at the end of the day.
