I do wish I had found out about this earlier. I woulda made the extra effort to catch one of his final NYC shows for sure.

Does any part of "Waka Flocka Flame" mean something that makes it particularly stupid, or does it just sound dumb? I recognize that it's kind of a dumb name but enough people have been mentioning it lately that I feel like I'm missing something.

scarred:
I have no idea, but it's the most retarded pseudonym I've ever heard. Apparently he's making big strides in gangsta rap circles.

David_Dovey:
Yeah see Waka Flocka Flame is a "would-see" name for me, because it's just purposely silly and it's hard to believe that it could possibly be serious whereas Casiotone For The Painfully Alone and The Pains of Being Pure At Heart both have this kind of smug winking attempt at sounding "clever" that just shits me off about as much as a sentence can shit me off. It's basically trying as hard as it can to draw attention to itself for it's cleverness.

Although, why I was typing this I misspelled "alone" as "alons", which makes me think that I would definitely see a band called Casiotone for the Painfully Alonso.

TheFuriousWombat:
Apparently there's a story behind the CftPA name. Before he named his band he gave a friend of his going through a bad breakup a mixtape of his songs and wrote that on the label and it stuck. Or something. The point: I don't think it's some attempt to be clever. He was also probably 19 or so at the time which is something of an excuse. Doesn't make it suck any less, though.
