Ebro Says Owners Don’t Value HOT97, Funk Flex Panders To Execs
Ebro isn’t feeling the recent changes at HOT97. He says ownership doesn’t value the station’s legacy and that Funk Flex gets his way because he panders to execs. Last week New York City’s premier Hip-Hop station endured a major shake up with their talent. DJ Enuff, who once backed The Notorious B.I.G., was terminated after […]

Boo This Man: Funkmaster Flex Plays Pick Me After Diddy Verdict [Op-Ed]
In the aftermath of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ partial conviction, you would think the collective conversation would land somewhere between accountability and reflection. Instead, we’re getting loud, dusty opinions from men who have long overstayed their welcome in the culture. Enter Funkmaster Flex. The legendary DJ and radio host decided this was his moment to jump […]

Jadakiss And Swizz Beatz Drop Yet Another Song After Funk Flex Challenge [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty New York is starting to sound like New York again. Jadakiss and Swizz Beatz have blessed us with another song just after Funk Flex challenged them. As per Hip-Hop N More the two Ruff Ryder members seem to be in the kitchen together exclusively. Earlier this month the HOT 97 DJ issued a challenge asking the MC and esteemed producer to deliver a song under a week. As expected the two delivered and begged the question “why New York radio be sounding like Atlanta?”. While the “Why” rapper has not expounded on the line many saw the bar as a direct criticism to the station’s long time stance on playing mostly hit records. Nevertheless the song seemed to be fairly received by locals and the Hip-Hop community overall. [embedded conten...
Funkmaster Flex Blasts Pete Rock After Conway The Machine Beef
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Funkmaster Flex made news this week after exchanging harsh words with Conway The Machine, and it doesn’t look like that rift is going away anytime soon. The Hot 97 personality then turned his attention towards legendary producer Pete Rock, adding rise to the idea that Funk Flex isn’t backing down from any of his critics. Conway The Machine took aim recently at Funkmaster Flex, accusing the longtime DJ of ignoring rising artists in New York City in favor of commercial acts. Although the Buffalo, N.Y. star was clear he wasn’t clamoring for radio support, Funk Flex still fired a barrage of insults in the rapper’s direction. Pete Rock joined in the fracas by sharing a now-deleted comment on social media cosigning Conway and his crit...
Conway The Machine & Funkmaster Flex Exchange Words Over Radio Support
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Conway The Machine and Funkmaster Flex are a hot topic of current Hip-Hop discussion, this after the Buffalo, N.Y. rapper called out the Hot 97 DJ for his lack of supporting underground acts. Funk Flex responded in kind, sparking a debate about the role of terrestrial radio in the current landscape. Conway The Machine took to Instagram Live last weekend and expressed frustration over Funk Flex ignoring underground acts while explicitly stating in the video that he doesn’t need the radio support. For some reason, many on Twitter took Conway’s words to be a lament about his position in the game and that wouldn’t even make sense considering the success of Griselda and the rise of Conway’s own Drumwork Music Group label. Accusing Fu...

Fivio Foreign Is Now A Free Man, Puts In Bid To Perform At HOT97 Summer Jam [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Fivio Foreign is now a free man after being locked up for several months. He has only been out a couple of days and is already aiming to perform at the iconic HOT97 Summer Jam. As spotted on Complex the Brooklyn native has been released from jail. Back in April he was booked on weapons charges. According to police documentation the incident stemmed from a visit to a Citibank location in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Apparently the Drill rapper left his Mercedes-Benz running while in a no parking zone which caught the attention of nearby law enforcement. The badges approached him and requested his driver’s license but he ignored the requested and asked if they were giving him a ticket. Fivio continued to walk away which led to a chas...
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’d hoped to “expose” Drake for using ghostwriters, and not having read the room, things did not work out in Meek’s favor. News of the reference track barely moved the needle amongst rap fans and subsequently, Meek received a succinct lesson in why you should never poke a sleeping bear.

Funk Flex Calls Cardi B A Terrible Rapper
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Funkmaster Flex is a bonafide Hip-Hop legend with a lengthy resume—however, he can be quite the curmudgeon. Cardi B is no doubt keenly aware of this since the longtime Hot 97 DJ and radio host has gone on the record to call her a terrible rapper. So much for fellow Bronx native love. In an interview with Naji on Cigar Talk, Flex told the world how he really feels. “I do think Cardi B’s a terrible rapper my n*gga. I just do, man,” said Flex, with the host adding fuel to the fire.. “She’s an amazing entertainer. I love her on social media. I love the way she talks about a subject. I like her whole swag. I like everything,.. but she’s a terrible rapper, man.” Yeah, there’s no way of spinning this one as you can see in the clip below. But...
Funk Flex Calls Out DMX’s Industry Friends For Not Helping Him Out Sooner
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bryan Steffy / Getty DMX is currently in the hospital fighting for his life, and everyone is praying for him. Funk Flex has decided to weigh in on the matter, and he feels everyone the rapper’s friends have let him down. DMX has been in the ICU at the White Plains Hospital in New York since Friday (Apr.2) after suffering a heart attack due to a reported drug overdose. The outpouring of love and support from fans, family, friends, and Hip-Hop community members has been tremendous. Speaking with Page Six, Flex is a bit skeptical about all of it. DMX, born Earl Simmons, struggles with drug addiction has been well documented, especially in his music. The Hot 97 DJ didn’t bite his tongue when saying he feels someone knew the rapper was once again struggl...

Mr. Me Too: Funkmaster Flex Got Lipo Because He Heard Kanye And Drake Did It [Video]
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty In this age the genre of Rap is more about the look than the talent. Apparently Funkmaster Flex took this to heart when he recently went under the knife, on the ‘Gram. As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop the legendary DJ paid a visit to Gillie The Kid and Wallo for an installment of the Million Dollarz Worth Of Game podcast. While the duo got him to explain his indelible disdain for Jay-Z it is his reasoning for getting liposuction that has left the culture scratching their heads. During the interview he made it clear that it was far from a rash decision and he actually did a lot of homework to ensure it was right for him. He stated that diet and exercise still did not solve for some of his problem areas thus the infamous appointment. Flex went on to post t...
