I don't even live in NY and the times I've been there, I know for a fact I heard Wu music played on that station. "Cherchez Laghost" by the main person who said "fukk Hot 97" got play, and Flex dug heavy into Wu music every time he did the '90s night... now if I visit NY a few times a year and heard the shyt, I can only imagine how much it was played on the regular.
And what is Flex even apologizing for? He wasn't running things at 97 in '97... wasn't like he was the one that gave them the ultimatum.
