Seth Rogen wants to be Waka Flocka Flame's personal blunt roller

by Tyler Munro

Waka Flocka Flame is hip-hop’s Andrew W.K, a charming party animal with a delightful soft side. Still managed by his mother, Waka’s previous stunts include running an anti-bullying campaign, bringing a fan’s drunk dad on stage mid-set and saving a woman’s life, but those pale in comparison to reports that he’s looking to hire a personal blunt roller into his entourage to the tune of $50,000 per year.

That sound you just heard? It’s Seth Rogen’s ears burning, because naturally, the pot-proficient Canadian actor was quick to jump at the opportunity.

Interestingly, this wouldn’t be Rogen’s first foray into hip-hop horticulture. In May, he hung out with Snoop Dogg (or Lion, or Snoopzilla) and taught the legendary skunk smoker how to roll a cross joint. And so while Seth Rogen might not need the money like the rest of Waka Flocka’s applicants (found by searching the the #iCanRoll hashtag on Instagram and Twitter), he might be the best bet.

From the outside looking in, Waka Flocka Flame is what your parents hate about hip-hop. He’s big, he’s loud, and his lyrics are simplistic odes to getting wasted. But people who’ve dug deep into his mixtapes and albums love that about him. He’s open about his talents, once telling Spin that while he’s not a great, or even good, lyricist, he makes music that makes people happy, and ultimately, that’s his talent. He’s a Flavor Flav, only… likeable.
