Funkmaster Flex Responds To Dame Dash’s Instagram Beef
Posted by Miss Info under Interviews[16] Comments
Tonight on the Funkmaster Flex show, as promised, Funk Flex took to the mic to respond to recent taunts from Dame Dash on Instagram. The dispute started earlier this week when Dame posted a photo of Interscope exec and former Def Jam president Joie Manda. In the accompanying post, Dame accused Joie of trying to divide and conquer artists like Cam’ron and Jim Jones, as well as Curren$y. But he also called Manda a culture vulture, despite Manda’s Brooklyn roots and early involvement in the graf scene, and the New York City hip hop club scene.
Funk Flex (who worked closely with Manda for years, starting from the days of the Palladium and Tunnel nightclubs) went on air to defend him. Dame responded by going in on Flex via IG. This went back and forth until today, when Flex invited Dame to come on the show. Dame responded by announcing he would instead speak to the Combat Jack Show/Podcast. Flex then took to the airwaves to speak to Dame, and made a point of praising Dame’s entrepreneurial career moves, but then denounced Dame for race-baiting, and for profiting from the same people he is calling “culture vultures.”
Continue after the jump…..
For the record, I’m disturbed by the entire misguided beef. I’ve asked numerous people and can’t seem to find any current incident that sparked this beef. As far as I know, even the artists that Dame cited in the original IG have good relationships with Joie, as well as Flex. Both Dame and Joie are longtime friends of mine. And obviously Flex is a friend and coworker.
One other thing…I was scheduled to talk with Combat Jack and Dallas Penn for weeks. And, despite my initial trepidation, I was really looking forward to it. I was blindsided when Dame announced he was doing the show with me. But Combat Jack never confirmed that, he knew that would put me in an awkward spot. So plain and simple, I was replaced on the lineup. Either way, the debate has everyone tuned in. We are all interested to hear what Dame will say to Combat Jack tonight, and we will post it when the audio is available tomorrow.

Funkmaster Flex is a fukkn Coon, a uncle Tom ,a house nigga and last but not least a fukk nigga!!. We need to rid our community of these sell outs. Flex is buffin that “jew” Knob. He actually put himself on the spot by involving himself, thus solidifying his spot and loyalty to the “jews” whom are behind the curtains pulling the strings. Dame Dash is talking some real shit, we should be in control of the program since we are the ones most affected(Negatively) by the music . The “jews” have been controlling and manipulating the “black” community from day 1 in good ol Amerikkka. The “jews” funded, controlled and profited from the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade aka African Slavery in the USA. The “jews” own most of the section 8 houses in the ghettos throughout Amerikkka, Most of the Judges in America are “jews” because you have to be a lawyer to be a judge and “jews” are bred to be lawyers 90% of the time. Hence Private Prisons aka modern day slavery, cheap labor(10 cents a hour) to produce products for companies such as Dell, Nike & Victorias Secret just to name a few. Its a real Quagmire that we are in, but we can get out of it. We have to get serious about our education(Lawyers,Doctors,Engineers etc.) and start practicing group economics(Spend your money with black businesses only) like we did in the past (Black Wall Street, Harlem Renaissance). Most of these sports teams are owned by these same “jews”. Just stating the facts. We dont need a leader anymore, all they gone is kill him/her. Just look out for your own first and last. BLACK POWER! BLACK POWER! BLACK POWER!!!!!!! #ControlYourDestiny #Blackpower #FUNKFLEXCOON

To be 110% honest Miss Info Dame never called Flex out. I know Hot 97 ride for ea ch other or whatever but all he did was ask what did his comments have to do with you. As a 46 yrs old man and a man that’s had a relationship with Dame in the past if you had a problem and wanted to deal with the man he should’ve called him or whatever not go on the radio (now twice)to try to play the man out. It’s ridiculous how people can say a whole bunch of nothing but because everyone is scared of their influence they jump on the bandwagon. This is petty bs and making New York (East Coast) look WEAK

This is some of the saddest shit I have read in ages. You are so misguided and plain ignorant. You don’t no shit. Your just as close minded as the people you claim to hate.

this dude and the yelling….i can’t
June 8th, 2014 at 11:18 am
Man it’s just sad to see my idols from the past falling down and squawking when the industry changes and the money dries up. You can’t wait until the end comes to squawk about who’s raping who. Pause. He had no problem taking the money from the “culture vultures” when it worked for him but now it’s a problem.

High School bickering at its finest. This dude shouldn’t be on the radio, his voice is hella annoying. FLEX is coming off like a real sucka/hater. Trying to talk tough on the mic. Why is he hollering? Get a lil bass in your voice. Is this what the game has come to? Smh.. come on hiphop culture!
June 14th, 2014 at 2:26 pm
how the fuck is it sad if YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SAY U DONT UNDERSTAND….there is NO hate in anything that Black Panther said its mostly fact. First you gotta go and look it up.
