In what is turning out to be a summer riddled with rap beef, another rift has popped off on social media. This time, it’s between veteran DJ/rapper Kid Capri and radio’s resident loud mouth Funkmaster Flex.
On Saturday (June 23), Kid posted an Instagram video with the caption, “I want smoke with @funkflex.”
In the clip, he says, “You talkin’ greezy? You the best from the city? You gonna have to prove it to me now. Now, you gotta wall you gotta run through. Kid Capri. I’m calling you out. I want all the smoke. Do what you gotta do … we still family and I still love you to death but you need a spanking. You talk too crazy. You talk too crazy and I’m gonna shut you up.”
In a second clip, Kid Capri continued berating Flex for claiming to be the “best in the city” and vowed to have Flex “answer” to him. But behind the scenes, Kid was texting Flex and the Hot 97 O.G. decided to share their private messages with his 881,000 followers.
“No friendship lost!” Flex wrote in part. “Peace my brother! U can say or do whatever you feel fit as a man! I don’t answer to you bruh!”
In response to Flex’s Instagram post, Kid posted yet another video clip calling Flex “a lame” and insisting he needs a beat down.
“YOU GOT A BIIIIIIIIG HEAD FLEX, AND NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING TO YOU, so go on your radio show and talk all the shit you want, BUT WHILE YOU TALK, LOOK AT MY TIMELINE!!” Kid wrote. “Everybody knows you talk to much and you need your ass whipped on a stage in front of everybody!!!!!!
“So go ahead and talk your shit to your fans that don’t know any better, BUT THEY GON LEARN TODAY!!! and one more thing, DON’T TELL A LIE ABOUT ME AND I WONT TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU!!!! @funkflex solid!”
Flex’s last response was Saturday when he shared one of Kid’s videos to his own Instagram account with the caption, “HE BIG MAD!!!! Hahahah! Fam u alright??? damn u bitter??? DJS THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS WHEN U FALL OFF! Doggie u high???
“Killer put your shirt on??? U aight??? (Wow… I been under his skin for a minute) @kidcapri101 – you said it yourself- ‘WAS.'”
Although Flex has seemingly cooled it on his side, Capri is still fired up. On Sunday (June 24), he shared a clip of Flex behind the decks and accused him of being phony. At the same time, he’s begging him to respond and challenges him to a battle.
“When you got that face on like you killing shit!!!!!” Kid wrote. “Wack ass fraud!!! YOU CAN FOOL THESE YOUNG KIDS BUT YOU AINT FOOLING HOP HOP!!! YOU STILL HAVEN’T EXCEPTED MY BATTLE YET!! So I’m on your neck until you do!! for being disrespectful!
“IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BATTLE, THEN YOU ARE FINISHED IN THIS TOWN!!!! YOUR FINISHED ANYWAY!!!! But at least fight back!!! Tell you what, When you see me for now on, YOU KISS MY RING!! And we will be even Steven!! Slump master!!! @funkflex SAY SOMETHING CLOWN!!!”
For now, Flex isn’t saying anything. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Wtf ? Is this ?
two senile old man screaming at each other………….pathetic
Not just New York Capri.
These two old geezers spin records what in the hell do they have to beef about now this crap is just that
CAPRI > FLEX…….AND THE COMMENTERS BELOW ME CAN EAT A DICK!!!!
This white “journalist” always interjects her bias opinions into the culture. I hate Flex but as a journalist who are you to refer to him as “resident loud mouth” this is probably the worst thing wrong with the culture
2 rappers killed this week and this is “the worst thing wrong with the culture”?!?!? Smmfh
Yeah. Two rappers who unfortunately advanced the culture thru dying. Too bad cats won’t learn that lesson and will follow in their footsteps. BTW, “Sad” and “Shoot Back” ain’t Hip-hop. They’re life lessons. Way over their own heads inadvertently.
To anyone out there that thinks this is about some violent shit…your are dumb and to brained washed to be apart of what this is about …this is grown man biz …Age has nothing to do with this …violence has nothing to do with this… new school old school is irrelevant on this issue ….so don’t EVEN try to play that card …THIS IS ABOUT SKILLS AND FLAVA ….BACK THAT SHIT UP THAT YOU TALK ….GET ON THE MIC WITH YOUR RHYMES GALORE !
Capri wasn’t talking about a “beat down”.. After I saw that dumb comment, I figured this had to be another Kyle Eustice article, so I scrolled back up, and yup.. I was right. Pathetic writing.
Just to up all the Drake fans and skinny jean/turtleneck pussies… Kid Capri is a homosexual. It’s 2018, nothing wrong with liking a muscular prison shot caller style black dude all in your guts. That’s his style… That will help put the video in context. Another announcement. As a B-Boy from the 80’s, Capri has more clout. They still ain’t shit compared to Red Alert, Marley Marl… personally I think old Tony Toca is shitting on them both. Stretch and Bobito were the truth. Fuck the dumb shit. Where is Mike Nardone at for those west Coast cats?
I understand his frustration. They come from the era when skills and talent determined your success, and a feud could be settled with said skills. Unfortunately, this is a new era where skills have little if anything to do with your success. Flex has adapted to the new era, Kid has not. I don’t blame Kid Kapri for not being a social media troll, but that’s the arena where these battles are fought now. Kid Kapri is a million times better than Flex, but don’t know what DJing is about anymore anyway. The art of DJing is dead, just like the rest of hiphop. The only survivors from the hiphop era are those that were basically willing to sell out. Flex did, Kapri didn’t. You want the popularity or the respect? Flex chose one, Kapri the other, and they both have to live with their choice. I prefer Kid and the route of respect. Peace.
You’re confusing KAPRI Styles with Kid CAPRI 😉
Maybe in the US the art of DJing and hip-hop is general is somewhat of a lost art, but Capri doesnt need to kiss ass and play corny music to get club bookings in NY. He prolly gets paid generously to spin worldwide and not have to sellout playing wack shit in doing so, like Flex does.
you wrong about Capri being a million times better than flex …how erver My money is on capri but don’t sleep on the big dog flex ….I am cut from this cloth and been to several parties where capri and flex have bean on the wheels never a dull moment … as far as new era we not concerned with them on this one … in fact they can fall back and take notes …they will learn something
Nah, Flex can’t keep the energy of a party going.. His ego makes him cut too much and stay on the mic too much.. Kid Capri just straight rocks shit all night
Why does one view have to determine what is the right way. DJing is an ART form. Even with the new technology you still have to put sounds together to make it hot. Ultimately that is the end all. I have mad respect for both and all of there accomplishments and what they have given to the DJ industry but damn, do we really have to fight over who is real and who isn’t. They both legends! The both are real in there own worlds.
FLEX TALK TO MUCH AND HE KNOW HE SHOULD BACK IT UP WHEN A DJ CALL YOU OUT IF YOU THINK YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO ROCK A PARTY HARDER…..THAT RULE NEVER CHANGES AND FLEX KNOW THAT …HE JUST PLAING DUMB
Kid Capri is nice. I thought Flex was Mr Chimney?!
This is what im made of ….I love it
Any one who is just really not into rocking parties will not understand why this is a good thing …Those who are trying to make age a factor don’t know shit. Sit your dumb ass down. Either you got skills or you don’t, and far 2 many dj’s don’t, and if there is a dj reading this who wanna battle for what ever ,I don’t care what your name is or how young or old you are…”YOU EITHER GOT SKILLS OR YOU DONT. ….PERIOD
Boring….nothing about actual movements or content…..Hip Hop journalism, please, can’t even spell a two letter acronym right….putting O.G. instead of O.C. Come on now!
