Comedian and delightful troublemaking rabblerouser Hannibal Buress Ethers Funkmaster Flex’s Ether of Ethered Jay Z
You might have heard about this guy named Funkmaster Flex yelling on the radio, talmbout Jay Z’s website was trashier than his trashy website and apps and stuff.
I haven’t heard this many bombs about apps since that time I went to Fridays and got those potato skins with melty Velvetta or whatever it was.
Don’t do it.
But Funky Flex and Jigga Jay are HUGE in hip hop, and both claim to be the kings of New York. So it made some noise when Aston George Taylor, Jr. went at Shawn Corey Carter on the radio station Hot 97, the self-proclaimed-but-not-really “home” of hip hop.
If you haven’t heard the Flex rant (and no, not the actor from One on One… Ha. Y’all remember that?), listen here (starting at like 10:30. You’ll know you’re there because the sounds will cause your uncle Lenny to get ‘Nam flashbacks and suddenly tackle your cat).
We were going to write a long think piece thing about this whole thing.
But the great Hannibal Buress really said it better than any of us could.
GGWP. Hannibal Buress, you da real MVP.
