Funk Flex responds to Conway the Machine

[maxamusa]

Actually that exactly what helped him blow up. The video thumbnail was like clickbait the song being dope was what make it next level.

Exactly. They were definitely an image based crew.

That shyt doesn’t bump

This nikka mad passionate about this industry shyt

 

[NormanConnors]

Exactly, all three made shyt Flex could play on the radio. You could tell the nikkas that don’t listen to them keep saying they don’t make or have songs for the radio when in fact they do.

















All this shyt could’ve gotten play on the radio

Nah maybe on a Friday night midnight mix, and im not saying that to hate. Cats aren't really listening to the radio like that these days anyway, largely due to the point its all advertisement and the music that is played is the same recycled garbage in rotation.

 

[NormanConnors]

Just here for the fukkery.

Benny >>> Conway

Yup.

Nope




this is all facts though

A$AP Rocky got embraced. Probably gets as much love as Big Sean in Detroit.

The problem is that in NYC and Detroit street music is #1. Rocky music had street-isms and was street adjacent at times but it wasn’t all the way street.

That’s why in the early 10’s someone like French Montana was getting way more love and play in the town compared to an A$AP Rocky or Joey Bada$$.

Coke Boyz movement was stronger than A$AP Mob and Pro Era.

A$AP Rocky also never really made mainstream bangers you only hear him on mainstream type shyt on his features. His music was always experimental and it only got more so as his career went on.

French Montana wasn't seeing Rocky/the whole asap movement at all.

 

[NormanConnors]

And what state is buffalo in?

Exactly, its like some Oakland or LA shyt having a hard time getting play at the major outlets in Cali

From what I've gathered, the dj game is based off relationships and favors..

I dunno how griselda maneuvers in this aspect, but very few djs are gonna just play your records..

Let me stress I'm not talking about the big time artists...

I remember black Rob (rip) asking why flex wasn't playing one of his records some years back...

Flex not gonna play your shyt unless the ball is rolling and/or he sees how strong your movement is..

There are levels to the dj game as well...

The griselda stuff that is playable, they might need to work the proper protocol instead of jumping steps

French Montana wasn't seeing Rocky/the whole asap movement at all.

U not from NY

 

[kevlar kohleone]

I wonder what will come of this exchange

 

[NormanConnors]

U not from NY

AND? That further proves the point
