In the latest installment of the popular music series, "Five Minutes To The Stage", Myspace goes behind the scenes with Waka Flocka Flame before he hit The Observatory stage in Santa Ana, Calif. on Sept. 16. With his opening act and  36 Brickhouse signee Joey Fatts, by his side, the Brick Squad rapper opened up about selling out The Observatory for the third time, performance superstitions, how he prepares for a show and more.

Although Flocka was recently involved in some legal trouble at the airport, back in Sept. he was nothing but smiles as he prepared to grace the stage. When asked if believed or partook in any backstage superstition or rituals, Flocka said this, "I don't have no superstitions. I just chill. I just drink. I just have fun. I just party. I just turn up."

With good vibes and good people surrounding him, blunts in rotation and cups being filled, Flocka proved this method truly work for him to get hype before a show. Check out the latest installment of the series above and discover what Flocka tells himself before turning up on stage.
