Funk Flex responds to Conway the Machine

[areohbee824]

It's always some kind of complaint from all 3 of these guys tbh man and its beyond old. Not even a Funk Flex fan either

This clip seems like what it's about too, from over a year ago

So why is ASAP Rocky not the #1 artist in the world since he bucks every single one of those trends?

A$AP Rocky is the Brooklyn Nets of rap. He's wayyyyyy bigger nationally than he is locally. When A$AP was bucking all those trends, it was flying in the face of all the locals who were still holding out hope that one of these dusty mixtape rappers would blow and while he became a big star, locally we'd rather play a Ferg track. Honestly, the lack of local love is probably why we don't view A$AP even on the level of Meek Mill & Future, let alone Kendrick /Drake/ J. Cole. In their cities, they get all the love. I can't remember when A$AP Rocky had the kind of adulation that Pop Smoke had or that A Boogie has.


And that's another thing: A$AP Rocky didn't have someone co-signing him from jump, We got conditioned to feel like if someone huge wasn't signing you or co-signing you, then you either weren't worth playing or we had to be skeptical of your come up. The mid 2000s, if Hov, Dipset, Kay Slay, 50 Cent, Fab, etc., wasn't riding for you or you weren't the next star on their label, we didn't trust you (I call it the MIMS effect; MIMS had a #1 song and all we could ask ourselves was "who's mans is this?")

but even then, it ain't like we were hearing O.C. "Time's Up" at 7 in the evening on the radio.

your actually incorrect as far as your NY assesment

flex was playin times up at 7pm every day, thas when his slot began

new yorkers are spoiled breh i read your comment and felt genuinely bad lol

we used to get brand nubian, ditc, wutang and unreleased records in primetime slots

that camron and dmx got dumb rotation in 97 and that song never even made an album

But thats all my point…

None of those stereotypes in the ig post apply, and ny doesnt support him. Its like he is loved nationally because he doesnt sound like “a new york rapper” but he isnt loved jn new york for the same reasons. At some point should yall evolve what that sound is?

Lets change this to detroit. The detroit sound was established in the mid 00s evolving from the early 00s rappers like the chedda boyz and street lordz etc. The examples of the detroit sound that is heavily supported by detroit are peezy, icewear vezzo, payroll, babyface ray, etc

But detroit still showed love to big sean because of him generally being dope and loved nationally. Should Detroit have not embraced big sean because he didnt rap like “the sound”? Kind of shooting yourself in the foot. Yeah they hope vezzo or payroll or ray blows like big sean but ASAP Really didnt get crowned like imo he should’ve.

Again, i’ll defer to Nyers but it seems like yall want something that can’t be.

 

[BK The Great]

The hate Conway is getting is disgusting. He’s still one of the best lyricists out in the NY state.

 

[Big Boss]

 

[Cladyclad]

Funk is lil bro’n Conway something serious

 

[Cadillac]

 

[DrexlersFade]

i never liked the way flex was looking at conway during that one freestyle.... it was hella weirdo vibes. the hate was palpable

This muthafukkas act like they don't get it. But he sucking off Bobby Hoochie Smurda.

But thats the OVERALL vibe that flex is giving off..

Like I came up in an era where nikkas like Conway would be fighting to get on video music box...

It's gonna take alot to impress a nikka who BREATHED the lane these nikkas entering

 

[DrexlersFade]

Funk is a disgusting piece of wombat shyt, but he spoke the gospel about Conway. How them boys from Buffalo with all this drug and murder tough guy talk, are some of the most frail, whiny, annoying ass mofos

Ya'll can talk all ya'll want but them nikkas official May block and Montana still ain't no joke them nikkas ain't lying trust me I'd be on some @tuckgod shyt like he is with Pusha T if you know you know

Could also be he wasn't NY sounding. Videos with cac girls with a grill doing a chopped and screwed hook. Probably turned tri-state people off.

Well I don't know but my smooth brain can see frail souls. They may be brolic, but the industry exposing what is hidden.

Well you said the shyt like these nikkas was lying in they raps I'm just telling you they not all that other shyt you talking have no merit.

I don't doubt their raps. Hell, Beans lived his shyt but became a entire goofy over the years. All I'm saying is that these dudes need to just STFU, keep grinding, and not have high expectation for folks to hear drumless beats with coke talk.

I fukks with Griselda from time to time but they lose me with the bytching. Like imagine Dipset crying about not being on the same level as Lil Jon and the Eastside Boys.

Just stick to the script and enjoy the Kia Sorento, instead of trying to get the Maybach.
