Fif gave Funkmaster Flex a ring tonight on Hot 97. The call was prerecorded and Flex promptly posted the audio on his site. Paying attention Clue? Anyway, Fif spoke on his photo with Jay-Z, Shyne, Kanye West, Soulja Boy, Rick Ross, and Floyd Mayweather. Break 1: Break 2: Break 3:
Ah, just like ol’ times. Fabolous Sport appeared on Flex’s show tonight and kicked a couple of freebies. A few of the lines are recycled from his previous TINC 2 mixtape though. In any event, There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music EP is available now. UPDATE: Now with video.
Yaowa! Joell Ortiz visited Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 last night and blessed the airwaves for about five minutes over a gang of bangin’ instrumentals. This dude is the truth. ifwt
Karen Civil gave me the heads up on this a week ago when it was recorded. In support of his site’s launch, Flex got to talk to Weezy live from Rikers and Mr. Carter speaks on Eminem, Drake, Nicki Minaj and his daily operation in the bing. 94 days to go! Carter IV on the way. Inflexwetrust
Earlier tonight, T.I. stopped by Funk Flex’s show on Hot 97. For those still speculating on his early release, TIP breaks down his sentence. He’s also scheduled to drop off another single tomorrow at noon.

For years, Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex has been called every name under the sun for championing certain artists. Promoting his new show Full Throttle on Angie Martinez’s afternoon drive today, The Kingpin admitted to favoring New York artists.
Last night, DJ Clue added fuel to his long standing beef with Funkmaster Flex. The former colleagues have traded barbs ever since Clue left Hot 97 for rival station Power 105.1 in 2006. The pair currently compete during the same time slot. But things weren’t always this messy. In the clip above, The Kingpin gives Clueminati props at the 1:30 mark. Hopefully this video doesn’t kill either radio star.
Before the ball drops, Funk Flex got some things to get off his chest via his Twitter account.

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
