''[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)'' writer [Jody Rosen](/source/Jody_Rosen) was less impressed and found Waka Flocka Flame's skills "negligible."<ref name="RollingStone"/> Patrick Taylor of ''RapReviews'' called Waka "a blunt instrument that beats you into submission", and stated, "On an intellectual level, I don't like ''Flockaveli''. The lyrics are simplistic and goonish. The music is effective but all sounds the same. If I was looking for an example of what hip-hop should be, it's not Waka Flocka Flame. On a gut level, though, ''Flockaveli'' works. It's morally questionable, but it hits hard".<ref name="RapReviews"/> David Amidon from ''[PopMatters](/source/PopMatters)'' described it as "a producer classic littered with verses so whack they become endearing in their special way", adding that Luger "pulls that special kind of synergy unique to hip-hop out of [Waka] again and again."<ref name="PopMatters"/> Amidon wrote of its cultural significance, "This is a very specific album intended for a specific audience: downtrodden, powerless, forever seeking payment, pussy and freedom from the powers that be but in the process of accepting they may never find that experience. This is strictly hood music{{nbsp}}... it's been a very long time since a hip-hop release felt like it truly didn't give a fuck about anything but its local community while pushing its genre forward as much as possible."<ref name="PopMatters"/>
