Why wasnt Flex saying this 10 years ago? Its too late fam.
10 years ago, he was getting that payolla
With the payolla running low, and the presence of social media, this is what you have. A lot of backpedalling

Yeah I don't get why future is mad here.
Also, I was in NYC when DS2 dropped and I heard that **** ******* everywhere. Dudes on the train playing it out loud, every damn car that drove past. Dudes blasting it posted up in front of their building.
It's like I might as well had been in Atlanta that weekend.
And that's why people like Flex come off as hating. They've been playing what's "hot" for all these years, and now that what's hot is continually music from outside of the tri-state area, they want to make it a point to condemn other artists while they try to put their own back on a pillar. But the fax is that no one relies on radio DJs to break artists. The Internet is too big of a platform and people like Fossil are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The days are gone where people had to listen to the radio ALLLLL day with a casset ready to hit record when they finally heard their favorite song. I remember doing that for Wild Out by the Lox, In Da Club (which wasn't too difficult because Flex ran that **** back like 6 times that night ). Now that people have access to literally any track they want literally at any time they want, they not gonna be checking for radio like that. Flex doesn't get to play what's hot and then try to backpedal because what's hot isn't the stuff he prefers. If that's the case, do the world a favor and retire already.

Ain't it crazy how **** flips around...
Gipp and Dre still look 28 years old today. Meanwhile, most NY rappers look old. Except Nas and Jadakiss, Fab
Batty boy :x
NY has Fetty, French and ASAP Mob. Then add the 2nd Tier with Bronson, Dave East, Milly Rock dudes etc. That's enough to play and mix in the new stuff.
LA doesn't even play Kendrick too much. Mostly Schoolboy & YG. Then all the basic stuff. Hip Hop radio is dead in LA though.
THIS.Local radio stations dictating their own content is a dead issue. You can thank Bill Clinton passing the Telecommunications Act of 1996 for that.
Conglomerates took over & just churn out a safe, profitable, universal playlist all over the country.
Flex's pouting isn't shocking to me at all. If it isn't all about them, NYC will attempt to dismiss, minimize & belittle or just flat out throw a cultural temper tantrum.
And he can couch it as defending quality music or whatever, but given the opportunity, Flex would shove NYC's lowest common denominator hip hop down everyone's thoughts without a hint of irony. It would be god awful Bobby Shmurda all the time instead of god awful Future. That's a push in my book.
New York City crying foul over cultural snubbing will most assuredly fall on deaf ears seeing as NYC seems to take pleasure in doing it to others.
It's not 50s fault that everyone from the class of 05 flamed out.
NY stopped introducing NEW artists that made quality music. 50 has nothing to do with that. All those dudes he needed with are OLD and wouldn't matter today anyway.
And 50 was singing in 'Power Of The Dollar' before Ja went fully R&B
