Funkmaster Flex has picked a winner in the rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
The legendary New York DJ appeared on Hot 97 to talk to Ebro Darden and surprisingly threw his weight behind the 6 God, despite their past issues.
“Drake is by far the winner for me. By far,” Flex declared.
“That return shot was super,” he added, referencing Drake’s “Push Ups” diss song. “Listen, he wasted no bars in there, he wasted no time […] It’s an amazing comeback, it’s an amazing return.”
[Ed. Note: Flex’s comments were made before the release of Kendrick’s second Drake diss song “6:16 in LA.”]
Flex’s view echoes that of fellow New Yorkers Cam’ron and Ma$e who have also backed Drake in the beef.
The Harlem rappers turned sports personalities shared their thoughts on Kendrick’s recent diss record “Euphoria” on the their show It Is What It Is, with both men claiming that Drizzy was winning the battle.
“Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint,” Ma$e said, praising the Toronto native’s own recent diss songs “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” despite the latter being taken down due to legal threats from 2Pac‘s estate over its use of AI voice technology.
“It took a while for us to get the record from Kendrick and when you wait a while it gotta be outta this world. I think if Kendrick dropped this record right after ‘[Push Ups] Drop and Give Me 50,’ it would have been crazy.”
Killa Cam added: “I think Drake is winning. ‘Euphoria’ didn’t really move me. I’m expecting lyrics from Kendrick, you’re expecting certain things. The song was kinda long, it took too long to come out — pause. I’m not saying it’s bad.”
His co-host interjected: “It was a good record [but] we didn’t wait a while for a good record […] It’s like when you did ‘Curtis’ [Cam’ron’s 50 Cent diss song], it’s a certain thing you gotta have in the record that Kendrick doesn’t have in his record.
“You gotta say something that make n-ggas look at the n-gga different. And when he did the, ‘I don’t want to hear you say n-gga,’ that was an angle that we already heard before.”
Drake has yet to officially respond to “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” but has teased that he has a rebuttal on the way outside of social media trolling.
Figured Flex would be all on Drake’s dick. Anything to stay relevant huh fossil.
The Kendrick Queens will be here to do damage control in a minute, lol. “But, but… Did he see Kendrick pick a clever title??? The new diss has the best title evarrrrrr!!!! Kendrick, you’re a genius!!!!”
Lmao
Was this not the same guy symba checked on comment he made on PAC.
Always hating on the west….
Flex has always hated on the west. He’s a sucka. No way he can tell me Drake is winning when that dude doesn’t even write his own material. Flex and Drake are both lame.
I have to say Drizzy. That’s just me though.
Well that makes since because we all know that the 🌈 community loves Drake.
” Yeah that’s it, give me more of that Canadian Bacon flavor dick, Champagne Papi….I going to eat it all up.”
If I have to decipher the bars, it aint a diss track, its a motherfuckin riddle. This round of 2024 rap beefs reminds me more of sports rivalries, they are fucking corny.
Old man raps? Man, take a nap.
This is the Jay Z shit all over again. Radio stations panicking and have to play politics to keep getting those exclusives. Those of you old enough to remember, Not97 played nothing but Jay Z song after Ether dropped. You wouldve thought Jigga (God forbid) died or something.
You ain’t lying I tempered that! Nas went on Power 105 to expose Hot 97….and even then Nas was STILL voted the better rapper on Hot 97. Jay-Z came into the station right after and they were afraid to tell him
Aubrey sit down .
I bet he’s regretting that decision now, lmao!!!!
Flex is an idiot. Kendrick been going crazy this whole time.
“Meet the grahams entered the chat”
Family Matters….. didn’t Diddy diddle Carl Winslow lol
I think the majority of people think drake won. This is just thru me scrolling thru all the comments on social media from all fans. When I add everything up. About 90 percent of people are saying they like drakes shit better. Numbers don’t lie
