The sound is taken from No Hands, the 2010 single by Waka Flocka Flame featuring Roscoe Dash and Wale, from his debut album Flockaveli. The song became a major club and hip hop hit in the United States and its brash intro style made short excerpts easy to lift for edits. As soundboards and short form video grew, this brief shouted line was separated from the full track and reused on its own as a hype cue, a joke intro and a way to demand attention before a drop.
About this sound
Short clip from Waka Flocka Flame's No Hands where the intro line listen to this track is shouted, used to hype a song drop or funny reveal.
The clip is a two second vocal shout taken from the start of a hip hop track, delivered in an aggressive, hyped tone that instantly demands attention. A male voice calls out to listen to this track, stretching the final insult for comic emphasis. The delivery is loud, raw and confrontational, more like a DJ intro or a club MC than a sung hook. Because it is so short and forceful, it works as a punchline in itself, snapping a quiet moment into energy and signalling that something the creator wants you to notice is about to play.
