They don’t even play math music in his own whip. Nobody looking out for his music. He needs to stick to what’s working and that’s the podcast game. Guy has been on fire. Needs to stop trying to make it in the music industry. Battles he’s great but music wise it’s quiet for him. And he needs to understand that’s cool.

These dudes need to understand just cuz a someone has no issue sitting and listening to you talk about random shyt doesnt mean they care about your music, ive never heard a math hoffa song prior to this thread and cant recall a math hoffa battle bar.

But thats not why i tune in and watch the podcast.

The intro to the podcast is super trash too

Immediately put him in my top 5 worst rappers of all time

Flex playing Roc Marci and Alchemist on the show tonight

Why was Fabolous challenged? He's put out plenty of music and has no issue doing what young boys and hoes want to hear.

He hit up Kiss like we didn't watch him commit mass murder in the Garden, last summer.

I'll take the L though - Back when Flex was yapping at Conway, I just put it down to him attention seeking again. He's actually using that energy to spotlight cats now. I respect it.

New Rae & Ghost tonight?

Flex wheeling back "What they gon give me if they catch me with this hammer? And why do New York radio be sounding like Atlanta? " 10 times straight

Should be solid

I wanna see Flex call out Nas, Hov, and Rakim.

Lets see if he REALLY got the juice

Flex has spent years talking greasy about Jay-Z lol more so perhaps than anyone in entertainment nowadays

Nas has 3 albums since the beginning of the pandemic and Hov just laid a Sistine Chapel Ceiling verse on 'God Did' in one take. They have to be exempt

The thought of a mere mortal demanding anything from The God Rakim though

That's like Moses walking back up the mountain with the stone tablets like "Only 10? This shyt is kinda light, bruh "

As a DJ I would think Flex knows who has a presence/foothold. Maybe that stuff Fab is trying isn’t hittin on shyt

I just want the fukkERY.

I’m sure with Nas recent renaissance he could drop off a dope freestyle or exclusive song for Flex to drop bombs on for half an hour. It would be great promo for KD3.

With Hov anything that jump starts him rapping again i’m with it.


Same thing with Rakim. I’m tryna to hear some BARS

Flex playing the Roc Marci/Alchemist joint now

 

[nieman]

damn, these dudes are all just really proving the point with these trash tracks they're giving him. Not a single one of these guys is actually trying or stepping their music game up at all to make something radio worthy here. they just sliding him the same ol uninspired mid throwaways that they've been pumping out on autopilot forever

What constitutes being "radio worthy"? There have been tracks on the radio over the years in which the only time you heard them was on the radio. They didn't get play anywhere else, including by the "that's my ish" crowd.

Radio tracks can be anything....play it enough and it takes off.

 

[nieman]

The point is if Flex is picking tracks to play, he could've been picked them from their catalogs. They all have tons of music, so it'd be impossible to say they have nothing for the radio. Whether or not the tracks are good is irrelevant. I think most radio tracks have been garbage, but that didn't stop them from heavy airplay.

Kiss and Fab are not the same artist. At all lol Fab has been a bit quiet for a couple years but he was a NY radio darling for 15+ years.

The LOX's Versus success doesn't speak to the overall sentiment of this original issue which was Flex not supporting older/non-super-mainstream NY rappers with airtime. Kiss may have had his radio attempts because he suffered from LAD syndrome but overall he fits the bill of rapper this moment is about much more than Fab.
