(Audio) Funk Flex Breaks Down Jay Z Situation #CalmVoice

IFWT_Focused Funk Flex
I know I know I know, so many of you outside looking in, you’re saying ‘Nooooo, don’t do it Flex’, looking up at the statuesque figure of the Big Homie, Jay Z, seemingly just ignoring that Funk Flex is a legend in the Hip Hop Game, but I get why, Jay has grown beyond Hip Hop. Well Jay is def bigger than Hip Hop, and he is a Don, but as Flex put it, he’s “the Don of his own Bubble”, it’s just seems like more because his ‘Bubble’ is pretty big, but it’s still HIS Bubble.

Tat Wza

Now Jay Z has a strong fan base, as he should, so this isn’t gonna fly with a lot, no matter the reason, which is fine, everyone should stick to their guns, as fans, that’s what fans are for.

But let me ask you this, if you as a fan were in the business you’re in, and someone in your business has a bigger portfolio, and starts ordering you around based off what they have, They are not your boss, they just have more money than you, are you good with that??? Based on what ever your answer is(which I would assume you’re saying NO, unless you’re a sheep), it’s pretty much the same thing with Flex and HOV.

I also see some saying ‘Jay is too big to care about Dipset’, that’s cool, and you should have your own opinion, but you guys really don’t know this industry, shouldn’t you have an ‘informed’ opinion, meaning all the facts before you judge?? Ok you’re a Jay Z fan, and you believe no one on the planet can fuck with him, again in his bubble, def not, but if one is not in his bubble, why do they have to bow down? IF Flex can’t play Dipset records at a Jay Z establishment, then that most definitely means Jay is holding the Dips back, and if Jay’s website is reaching out about Dipset, they are looking to hold them back again, get a game plan together, see how they can move around Flex to shut it down, and that’s gonna mess with Money, and from a street POV, I don’t know where that’s cool. And everyone saying ‘Jay Z can buy your life’, come on with that Master/Slave mentality, yes he has an Empire, and a Shit load of money, but how does that equal control of EVERYTHING??? That mentality was instilled from Slavery, not just American Slavery but Slavery throughout time, those with power control those without….

As far as the App, people can say ‘oh samsung did tha app not Jay’, or ‘why would Jay Z need Flex for an App’, If you can I’m gonna need you to think about that one, what has Jay done digitally that let’s you know he doesn’t need help?? His website, LifandTimes.com, do you go to that, or has any significant news spawned from that?? Is Jay really on Social Media?? The App in question, the MCHG, have you opened it since the album dropped, is there any new content you get from it(and IF Samsung was really running that App,they would have kept it going)?? If you really look at it, not as a fan, but just look at it, Jay is not really digital, and he doesn’t have to be, he’s still Jay Z, but if he’s going to do something Digital, he would need some help with it, AND knowing this Business, he’s not going to out right ask for help because perception is there is nothing he can’t do. Now I’m a HOV FAN(I’m from Bed-Stuy, so by Default, I rep the Roc), but I was apart of that app(#DjFunkFlexApp), and I did feel a way when we didn’t even get a mention when MCHG dropped, not even a ‘You made a hot App, I made it way hotter’ line from him, as if all of our hard work meant nothing to him(which it didn’t, ok, but it did to us), an I was a little mad at Flex for letting it slide just because of his ‘Respect’ for Jay. I didn’t necessarily want us to get at him, but I wanted Funk to get an interview and ask about the similarities, see what Jay would have said, but when LifeandTimes reached out about Dipset, I knew Flex did what he had to, I wanted this Tour to happen as it really is going to be GREAT for NYC hip hop, and I’m SOOOOO tired of NY hip hop being called ‘lame’. And anyone saying ‘This ain’t 2002, Dipset ain’t it’, well let this tour happen, let’s see if some Great music doesn’t come out, the city gets super Fuego, then say that, have vision for ahead, not just hindsight.

As for Flex still playing Jay Z/Rocafella records, and postings on the site…. yeah that’s gonna happen, there is NO hate in our Blood, Flex never said he not fucking with Jay Z(Flex may have said a couple things in the heat of the moment, but believe it or not, there is Still respect), we just wanted to not bow down to another man, we just want to do what we need to do in order to keep moving. You can Hate that, but that’s on your Karma, not ours.

    Mr flex. How old are u, almast 50? U sound so childish ranting everyday about someone that doesnt give two chopsticks about u. It upsets me that you being a role model for others have to stoop to childish behavior on the radio instead of calling the person that u have a problem with. So sad.

  2. Jigga Man on January 18, 2015 at 6:31 pm

    Flex is sour because I’m about to buy Hot 97 and can his old azz. HOV has spoken.

    • Fresh on January 19, 2015 at 7:20 pm

      Let me add on to this cipher… FLEX IS DOING WHAT IS KNOWN AS DRY SNITCHING , if for some reason HOV doesn’t like what is being said, FLEX IS PROTECTING himself by putting this on blast, that’s some hoe shit, if he had the respect and rapore with HOV … Why not call him and say this? Sound like some pent up emotions he’s had for awhile… Yall should have seen his bitch side when 2 chains checked the temperature on his old ass.

      • Fresh on January 19, 2015 at 7:23 pm

        This won’t help dipsett, they washed up and overrated… NY MAY REP FOR THEM BUT THEY WERNT MISSED LIKE THAT BY THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY

  3. Dee on January 18, 2015 at 6:46 pm

  6. Tina Harper on January 18, 2015 at 6:54 pm

    Flex is old, brittle and bitter as fuck. How is he that old talking shit about Jay capitalizing his name in a text? Grow your old hating ass up. And speaking of people who don’t care, I’m fairly sure Jay is unmoved and unbothered by this childish ass rant.

  7. Polo on January 18, 2015 at 6:56 pm

    Yall two sound like fools did you even understand what is goin down ?

  12. Sal Dizal on January 18, 2015 at 7:18 pm

    I’m sayin like,that’s like Roger Troutman feeling some type of way because t-pain career blew off auto tunes,or mase feeling like loon an fab should honor him,this flex dude,mind yall he speaks on how he was not allowed to play dipset in the 40/40,you obviously didn’t feel too much of a way about it,I mean I’m assuming you collected them checks and Ain’t play no dipset?
    He complains about that like HE wasn’t single handedly refusing to play 2pac or any other west coast music that was POPPIN at the time he spun at the TUNNEL…yeah I was in there,you did it regularly,I guess them ratings down so who else of what else could you have done to save the station,ITS NOT EVEN YA STATION as Dame said,you boycotted good artist before,so dont try and make it seem like you exposin HOV for not wanting MY favorite group to be played in his spots,nigga they dont fuck wit each other,bottom line,they wont play HOV in nothing they own! You shoulda spoke up when he ain’t take them on the roc the mic tour when they was signed to the roc…FLEX FO PLAY IN MRS CEE BOOTY,GET OFF HOV BALLS

  13. SUPERIOR on January 18, 2015 at 7:34 pm

    SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT,,, FLEX IS RIGHT

  14. Andy Dufresne on January 18, 2015 at 8:20 pm

    I really dont understand why people give this guy jay z so much credit, so if jay dies hip hop dies or the whole rap game dies too?, hes basically trying to slave others in thinking he could do whatever he wants and therefore you should bow down. Hes not a rapper anymore hes just another ceo, he has the money and can buy whatever but what are we as people if we dont hear anything else and we just let one guy control everything. Jay probably confident he can buy any dj and pay anybody to do as he pleases but the point of this is in my perspective is too see more people become like jay not have one jay determine whos the next rapper or control the whole industry. what has jay done for you nothing all he wants to do is control everything and that would suck

    • Unplugged on January 19, 2015 at 7:50 am

      And the demon has obviously been successful, ergo these pathetic brainwashed comments yelling get of his d*k while their swinging frm his nuts during the day and sleeping n his @ss by nite. Let the programmed wallow n their slavery.

  15. Louie on January 18, 2015 at 8:58 pm

    My man I can’t understand why you mad. You said he called you blocked a few times. Meaning he was calling you to figure out what’s the problem. And then you said he texted you cause he couldnt get you on the phone. You never said what was said in the text. Just he put his name in capital letter. Are you fucking kidding? This was the course of your rant? I mean my nigga if you 1000 like you said why not pick the phone up and talk to the man. Hash it out, figure out the problem. I doubt Jay Z gives a fuck about dip set. I mean who does these days really? But if that’s the case let him tell you that directly. Right now you asumming everything. So what he don’t want there music in the 40/40 it’s his club, he don’t fuck with them. So it’s his right. Right now you bugging my nigga.

  24. SHUBHESH MISRA on January 19, 2015 at 12:09 am

    Dear Mr. FLEX,

    If JAY-Z IS A COPORATE RAPPER, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD PLAY MORE MUSIC THAT ISN’T COPORATE. YOU PLAY RECORDS THAT ARE POPULAR AT THE MOMENT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER RADIO STATION. YOUR STATION PLAYS TERRIBLE MUSIC… THE QUALITY OF HOT97 FOR HIP-HOP MUSIC IS STRAIGHT TERRIBLE. IN 10 YEARS, NO ONE HAS EVER PLAYED EMINEM AS LEAST AS POSSIBLE THEN HOT97.

    “DON’T FORGET BRO,” JAY-Z IS A BUSINESS…. MAN..NOT A BUSINESS MAN.

    JUST B/C YOU DROP BOMBS DOESN’T MEAN YOU DROP BOMBS.
    WE ALL KNOW YOU NEED JAY-Z TO MAKE YOUR TABLES TO TURN.

    NYC IS MY CITY, IT’S ALL OUR CITY. PLAY A GOD DAMN SONG.

    HOW YOU LIKE MY ALL CAPS?

  25. sarah betancourt-reed on January 19, 2015 at 2:31 am

    So far you’ve failed..
    Not too late.

    Sincerely,

    Flex I’m gonna need you to just admit that you started this whole thing up to get promotion for the Dipset reunion tour and that Jay diss they just happened to drop right after your fake rant. People appreciate and respect truth my brother, admit you used Jay’s name for publicity and move it the f*ck on. You expect people to believe the man called you like a grown a*s man to hash out an issue, then text you and you chose to air out ya”ll’s issues on air while threatening him?! Over some bs of him capitalizing his name and not wanting Dipset being played at HIS club?! You really want us to believe you threatened to end Jay over that small peanut bs?! You was talking about that man like he threatened one of your dear loved ones. You don’t do stuff like that unless you have an agenda and have no one with good business sense around you to tell you it’s a bad move or you have lost your damn mind. It’s one of those two and you just need to admit it and move on with it and be a dj and play some music. Just know that whatever reason you did it, it was tacky and uncalled for. If Jay were to air out his feelings over every bad business situation he encountered he would not be where he is today. And no, I do not feel like Samsung would need help coming up with an app to distribute music they purchased from Jay. The app had problems because so many people tried to download at once it caused the app to malfunction. Same thing that happened to iTunes when his wife released her album on iTunes out of the clear blue sky. I had to wait an hour to get it because of the technical difficulties. Does iTunes have a crappy product going because of that? Apparently according to you it does. Lord I am so done with you. You are WAY to old for this elementary bs. Be a grown man, be about your business and admit it was the wrong thing to do trying to use the man’s name for a quick come up.

  31. Sho on January 19, 2015 at 1:04 pm

    DJs and PDs are useless without artists an there music….. FlexiZFinished

  32. RainMan on January 19, 2015 at 2:12 pm

    This article is RIDICULOUS. Flex is attempting to rationalize hos losing his SHIT; and backing a losing horse? (Dipset) FOH, man. The minute you said “I can destroy you” you LOST. You must be sipping what ever Azalia Banks is sippin’. Cut it OUT, fam.

  33. All eyes seeing on January 19, 2015 at 5:13 pm

    Flex, I hope you know what you’ve done. You are dealing with a well organized secret society. It’s deeper than the streets. This reigns in every aspect of society. If your life is not touched, he will publically destroy you. Like he is trying to purchase the station! Wow! He didn’t reach the level that he is on without sacrifice. I think you should prepare for the storm. Check how many people will be around! Be blessed!

  34. Simple_Logic on January 19, 2015 at 6:02 pm

    Ultimately Flex needs to step back for moment and consider some simple and obvious things.

    1. Wheres the proof of his statements? The memo’s, photos or recorded conversations saying don’t do this or to do that?

    2. Lets however assume that 40/40 Clubs don’t want Dipset’s music played. And…. Seriously the 40/40 isn’t some major conglomerate that controls music globally. The Dipset has NEVER sold in those major numbers lets not dilute ourselves into thinking somehow they are being sabotaged

    3. Conversely if we believe Flex and that Jay is attempting to block to concert entirely. Is it possible Jay could shut down or seriously limit its reach? Sure and its a realistically possible thing without question. That leads to why? Dispute is getting a world tour of the level of a Jay tour, nor the money… Smaller venues, clubs and the like are the likely locations, again for Jay why would it matter.

    4. Controversy sells… Who’s not to argue this is all some WWE junk that Flex and Dipset are up to. Its no less a reasonable to assumption than Jay attempting to ruin this so called tour.

    Jay Z is Hip Hop and Beyond… Music, Management, Clothing, Liquor, Sports, TV, Radio, Movies, Tours, Real Estate and so much more. Dipset by comparison doesn’t come close nor do they attempt to. Moreover as a fan of Jim, Juelz and Jay (Cam not so much) I can’t see where the conflict really comes in. None of them can mess with him lyrically or any other level. Again why beef with them, there’s no upside for Jay. If its strictly a personal beef and this is a side shot at Dame since Cam is his dude. OK I can see that but again why?

    I reserve that anything is possible and Jay is the root of all evil. However I suspect that Flex and Dipset, along with Dame in there have other motives. Its David vs Goliath and people will want David to win thus Jay is the bad guy. I see tactics at play and money at stake for Dipset. Controversy sells

  35. Simple_Logic on January 19, 2015 at 6:08 pm

    Lastly this concept of Flex being a legend is questionable IMO. Surely he will likely go down as one.

    Flex is notorious for these senseless rants and coming up wrong. Mister Cee and Power 105 come to mind. If it was really that serious and he seriously could ruin Jay(Which on a 0 to 100 scale of possibilities doesn’t even register. But I digress). Then he should go about that quietly and concisely with as little fanfare as possible. Reals G’s move in silence and that whole concept LOL. I used to be a fan of Flex. He lost me on the Mister Cee rant when the facts were pretty clear. He’s emotional, he wants attention and will say whatever first and then think/backpedal later.

    I’m looking forward to seeing the end result of this ruining Jay thing.

  36. BX BOMBER on January 20, 2015 at 4:19 pm

    BIG BANK TAKES LITTLE BANK… HOW JAY Z SAID IT GOODNIGHT….

  37. Crystal on January 20, 2015 at 5:08 pm

    How old is Flex? I think he’s having a mid-life crisis on the radio……This “rant” is so corny. How are you dissing someone and complimenting them within the same sentence? And all of this is because of a text? So you are so upset over a text message that you have a 2 day rant on the air? You want an apology because of a text? You were corny before but now you have upgraded to a hasbin. Get your life Gal Flex…….
