Funkmaster Flex facts are way off in particular to the evolution of Rocafella

He claims Rocafella was being distributed by a garbage label called PRIORITY RECORDS...

which was actually a credible and productive imprint known for giving out high equity deals to Indy labels such as Ruthless records and No Limit

Rocafella was no different and keep in mind Priority was the FIRST to release Reasonable Doubt LP before Def Jam came along and ready released the remastered version with bigger marketing and promotion..

but regardless Def jam didn't make Rocafella. .which is why they had a solid joint venture which LYOR kept trying to undermine by treating them like little homies and also causing tension between jay and dame

Nah its true. NY really funny like that. Motherfukkas dont really respect you until you link with a major.

Hov was Cardi B/A-boogie pre Atlantic status before linking with Universal. Like yeah the city prolly knew and fukked with him, but it would not of been as big as it would of been without Lyor,Liles and Universal.

Which is why Hov fukks with em to this day.

Look how Flex is talking about Priority, pretty much shytting on em cause they not "major major",

While Priority records is all a southern artist like Master P needed to create his empire.

NY got that bougie elitist attitude, which is why Hot97 dont really support local artists like that, only motherfukkas spat out by the machine.

Yup

According to Biggs, and others that were around The Roc at the time, Dame didn’t believe in Ye either, and only signed him to keep his beats at the label. Biggs was the one that worked the College Dropout album from the start.

It’s layered.

Biggs worked College Dropout because he was running the music side of Roc-A-Fella at the time.

Dame was off running Roc-A-Wear and making movies.

And Jay was off somewhere planning his escape with Lyor and memorizing his ghostwritin lyrics so he could keep frontin with that “rain man” bullshyt.

Flex let his former crate carrier become a powerbroker in rap while he’s still doing club dates every week. Shows you his mindset

Yeah....he been on Lupe payroll since 1993 on radio.. Now flex wants that google YouTube look now that Lyor is the man at youtube


That was exactly what I was comin to say. Flex might be trying to get into that Google/YouTube music world in some way to be coming out like this.

I get he wants to try to defend Lyor, but to straight up call him a liar in CAPS multiple times and disregard all of the issues Dame might have with Lyor is wild.

well, what about J. Cole and Rhianna?


That was a def jam executive he was promoting Tierra Marie as “princess” of the roc.

But you can also come up with a theory that *he did discover rhianna and *purposely put her on def jam knowing he was going to leave Roc-A-Fella to become the def jam president.
