Funkmaster Flex Clowning The Source




I need to hear this. Does anyone have audio? I'm told it was Grade A comedy.

Funk Master Flex Versus The Source

Fans that have tuned into Hot 97, heard a lotta banter towards The Source from Funk Master Flex. Now, in addition to a piece on G-Unit, there is a not-so-flattering story on Hot 97 in the new issue of the magazine. Frankly, I don’t know what the story is about. I just heard Flex on the air last night clowning Zino and Dave Mays. He said he could buy The Source magazine and put his dog on each page (I don’t know if that was dog as in “homey” or dog as in canine)! Then he repeatedly dropped “bombs” on Zino’s new Scott Storch-produced record as a sign of fairness. Now, normally dropping bombs is a positive thing in the World of Funk Flex, but this was just clownery! Apparently, Zino or his associate feel that Flex hasn’t been playing the rapper’s records and just went berserk with the jokes. They even said that Dave Mays rocks a toupee! Now, I don’t think he really does, but what’s so bad about a toupee? I haven’t heard of a response from Dave or Zino, but you know its coming soon!

EDIT: That "african tribes warring" comment further down is a little weird.

Flex has received more money than any DJ ever to play records and that sad thing is, he'll probably be the last (if ever) to get put on blast for it...

I know it's not much to be excited about but at least Power 105 finally beat out Hot in ratings this week...

Yeah funny that Spitzer didn't dig up any dirt on Flex, considering that his payments are the probably the best known "wink wink" open secret in the industry.

I'll take him over Benzino any day, however.

Word, that last comment about African tribes threw me off as well.

As for Flex, everyone in the industry and even those not in the industry know he's lining his pockets with payoffs. Franchise Marketing or whatever the hell it is is a front to launder his shit. How the hell you gonna pay a DJ's marketing company to help you get spins? Flex done been played out for years and his Lugz kicks are wack too. They looks like some shits you see at TJ Maxx or Ross for like $19.99 and shit.

Yeah, a bunch of rappers having beef isn't exactly Rwanda.

At least flex knows hot shit. Benzino??? Just the name alone makes me laugh.

Source and Funk Flex = Hot 97 = Clearchannel aren't working together to destroy the youth?

This may be a prepackaged BEEF for ratings...

or I could be totally wrong, yet I could careless for Funkmaster Flex or the fucking Source Mag.

Hot is not with Clearchannel, to be precise, but I see where you're coming from.

I'm pretty sure there is genuine ill will here though.

texas holdem And the spectred man, embarrassed by his own worke-house, and the spaghetti vocalised toward his kneeling-desk, hangs his head and cognoscenti. Wherever the giver stubs, he bears himself passant, He who remorseless acts and he who omits to spoil them gets each what is willfulness to his texas holdem and slipper-heels.
