Waka Flocka Flame feat. Roscoe Dash & Wale - No Hands

When I was younger, 'flocking' was something you did to create a fake grass effect on painted model soldiers and scenery made out of foam. But Waka Flocka Flame definitely doesn't involve setting said models on fire. No, he's actually a rather hip American rapper signed to So Icey Entertainment.

His latest single No Hands is rather deceptively titled to be honest. I mean, there are a lot of things you can do with no hands; like walk down the street, or kick a football. So we had best look at the lyrics to see exactly what Wacka is getting at here... 'Throw this money while you do it with no hands'.

Yup, No Hands is basically an anthem to blow jobs. Fantastic.

In all seriousness, it's also a fairly bog-standard Lil Wayne-channelling bit of mechanistic rap - all gunshot beats and grinding stabs of synth brass. The kind of song you pleasantly tolerate instead of actively listen to, at any rate. It's not bad, but then, could you ever truly hate a song containing the line 'Girl, drop it to the floor, I love the way your booty goes'.

Indeed.

No Hands is available to download now.

Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne - Roman's Revenge

Roman's Revenge is without a doubt one of Nicki Minaj's defining moments, and if you loved the Eminem version on her album, then the Lil Wayne radio edit is a lovely little bonus. There's just so much energy, so much enthusiasm. Almost so much that it becomes cocky. But we love Nicki for it.

'Rah rah, like a dungeon dragon'. I defy anyone who listens to this song not to have this stuck in your head by the end of the day. It's genius lyrics like this that elevate Nicki a cut above all the rest. Oh, and Lil Wayne doesn't let us down either: 'I like a big wet pussy with a fork and a spoon'. Straight to the point eh?

That mechanistic machine-gun beat drives away as Nicki spits her words out - hell, it's almost Shakespearean the way she takes on her various roles in the last minute or so of the song. Slightly terrifying, rather cute and endearing, but very very cool.

The only thing I miss in this radio edit is the genius British accent outro Nicki does in the album version. 'You've gone mad, MAD I TELL YOU!' But of course, with Nicki, every inch of the madness is to be lapped up and embraced, because quite frankly, what she does with it is amazing.
