Funkmaster Flex Disses Drake, Says He's A Modern Day MC Hammer Or Diddy & Talks Ghost Writers

[Art Barr]

Breh, you of all people know I'm a big Drake fan but facts are facts. Number one, Buddens is not as irrelevant as some would have you think. When people realize "Pump It Up Guy" and "dude who fukked Tahiry" is the one dropping these bombs on Drake more than a few fans will take notice. But the more dangerous thing is that the industry has been tuned in from day one. Joe is unloading on Drake with more to come. And I actually believe dude when he says he's a fan. But most of Drake's peers, those on his level or close to it, are not and all it takes is just one of them to piggyback on Budden's and it will be a real tough situation for Drake. He's still lucky enough to be in the position to send a few slick shots or subs and most would be satisfied. But he can't ignore these disses. They're too potent. He has to show he's at least willing to face Joe.

In theory this makes sense but budden is on that offbrand lack of chill coolness factor. that the so called people who would try to come at drake to side with Joe won't risk their permeation to side with Joe budden. The same apprehension flex has in this interview to be PC about dj'n in a cultural sense and ruins his cred in this interview to me is. The same disconnect the so called popular rapper will have. Which is also because of the grip universal established on the commercial pop side as far as rap goes.
So admin wise all the hood to pop associated drawing rappers are in a conflict of interest to diss the main distributors cash cow.
Which imo, could be why the whole meek diss situation was made to make meek look incompetent and incapable of creating a real diss and pr marketed effective run to drake.
The game is so fukked up just admin wise from universal that most artist are on tunecore which is universal posing as a digital distributor.
So, most grassroots artist who have a digital presence use tune core and are already in the red from their admin fees to get setup just to even have a record distributed.
That if they are not culturally real.
they will subscribe to the faking jax ideals of cash money/universal/drake. That even budden would generally subscribe to himself.
if he did not transition his fake draw to pandering to the underground. After he was blackballed for being a conflict of interest when defjam gave the presidency to jayz.

Drake been throwing shots at Jay before and throughout the whole Meek shyt, you buggin if you think Jay isn't gonna diss him. He already has really, but it's gonna get more direct.

Who distributes jay's records?

well that's what he is. the modern-day hammer/diddy. theres nothing wrong with that. it wasn't a diss. that's why he threw his man diddy into the equation.

the problem is with the industry pushing him as some sort of king emcee and the idiotic listeners who don't know how to put him in his proper perspective. and I'm gonna say it started with Kanye west and the way he was propped up to the casuals. he should be added to that hammer/diddy equation as well.

prime example - some dweeb has a thread going right now, calling wayne & drake 2 of the top 5 rappers of all-time. this board went to complete chit. I remember when people like that, couldn't post on these types of boards.

How did Drake lie to fans? It's in his liner notes. If he were trying to hide it, he'd have paid QM under the table. That stuff is easy to hide.

you wanna talk about idiotic fans? some of the stupidest, most backwardsazz fans are the so-called fundamentalist hip-hop "heads" who think they know who's a true artist and who's not based on rumors, innuendo and speculation. the fact that they would actually downplay the contributions of legit legends like Kanye West because so-and-so penned some rhymes for him on old records.

Wayne has been dropping classic after classic since he was 14 years old, but you're not allowed to say he's top 5? Why? Because it's not cool?

yall's weird ass ideas are why people can't take hip-hop seriously.

 

[Wacky D]

The big difference between Drake and say a MC Hammer is that Drake has been getting the serious reviews, he's been the most relevant for 7 years already and he's at his biggest right now, his rap skills have been celebrated by nearly all dope legends and taste makers, even Budden himself.

lol @ "reviews".

and lol @ being relevant for 7 years. longevity means nothing anymore breh.

Snoop, Eazy and Dre survives the 90s pretty well made the whole east coast irrelevant.

Also only 0.0001% of hiphop fans believes that Drake has had more help than certain bars and flows on certain songs, mostly his mixtape. Or that he's had conceptual help on other songs just like everyone who doesn't produce and write their shyt all on their own like J. Cole. While the bars was wrong, it was ignorant trap type of songs on a mixtape, people forgave him for that pretty quick. He know knows that it wasn't appreciated.

lol @ the east coast being irrelevant in the '90s.

eazy & dre weren't posing as rappers. we knew what they were.

what does snoop have to do with this?

So admin wise all the hood to pop associated drawing rappers are in a conflict of interest to diss the main distributors cash cow.

THIS.

it played a part in that Kendrick situation too, over the control verse. like when fabulous was told not to make a diss record towards Kendrick.

wake me up when you and your kind go back to pop music.

Buddens may not be "relevant" but he's basically out here bullying Drake and that's not going to go unnoticed. Joe is actually a friendly opponent doing this for the sport of it. If this continues more malicious entities will enter the fray. Drake isn't on that level where he can ignore anyone saying anything forever. If Buddens was dropping Meek level disses this wouldn't be an issue but Joe is whipping his ass. Someone relevant is going to pour salt in those little cuts Buddens has opened up.

Nah

Beef only matters to the larger of the Hiphop audience when they feel like both parties have a angst for each other and pride to lose

Even with that instead beef doesn't hurts anyone standing in rap

Jay was fine after Ether and Meek is fine after B2B

It seem like you are influenced by the agenda posturing going on with thecoli. No one on this site was clamoring for Kendrick to respond to Papoose, Meek, etc

And Drake didn't ignore Common or Meek. and he hit Joe on No shopping about what he said about Views

Joe maybe would've had some buzz if he dropped his disses after Drake and French released No shopping

But, No Shopping is going to get played everywhere and no one will ever listen to Budden song on repeat

Lets be real most hip hoppers in the industry don't like drake but drake used his power and influence to strong arm their obedience. Promised a lot of nikkas future paper and opportunities that never happened. Its an inside secret in the industry and Joe Budden spoke on it in his diss. Anyways as long as Drake keeps aligning himself with the top nikkas in the game and keeps them fed ( metro, future, khaled, ect) hell be fine.


I think in the coming weeks tho second tear rappers will start lashing out on drake more and more and Drake will probably do a tape with Kanye and Jay to quell that.

This is a business

A lot of you ( not you in particular ) are putting way too much emotion in it.

Drake isn't moving differently from anyone else in rap

It's a diss to mc hammer.

How did Drake lie to fans? It's in his liner notes. If he were trying to hide it, he'd have paid QM under the table. That stuff is easy to hide.

His own camp came out and said ghostwriting is for frauds, 3 years before he got exposed:

Noah '40' Shebib: Recording Drake's 'Headlines' | Sound On Sound

"In hip-hop," 40 explained, "you must write your own raps. If someone else were to write them for you, you'd have no credibility whatsoever, and you'd be out of the window immediately."

So yeah, clearly he wanted people to believe he had no help.

Liner notes mean nothing if you don't know who the people are, or what they do. A. Palman has a writing credit on 75% of the songs on "Take Care", unless you really researched who he is you'd have no way of knowing that's Hush. There was even a thread on KTT 5 years ago asking who that is, so reading the liner notes doesn't necessarily clear things up.

And nobody knew who the fukk Quentin Miller was prior to the Meek thing. You're acting like people are supposed to piece together he's Drake's writer from a song credit when nobody knows who he is.

Fred.

Flex probably played atleast 5 drake songs at the club tonight

that doesn't go against what hes saying tho.
