Funk Flex On Drake vs Meek Mill: “I Wanted To Be In The History Book”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Funkmaster Flex admittedly likes attention—more than most, some could argue. Sure, a lot of us have already known this, but still recoiled at one particular line from a recent talk the DJ had with Rap Radar: “I wanted to be in the history book.” Back in 2015 when Meek Mill and Drake were feuding, it all started with the Philadelphia rapper running the reference track for Drizzy’s “10 Bands” up to Hot 97.

He said he got it.” Visibly shocked and annoyed by the sudden left turn, Drake brushes Trav aside telling him “relax...
