  Flex Ain’t Retiring—But Somebody Is! Yo, remember when I dropped that post about Funkmaster Flex possibly hangin’ up the headphones? Yeah,  this one right here    where I was tryna figure out if Flex was really done or just flexin’? Welp... turns out, the OG wasn’t retiring—he was just doin’ what he does best: gassin’ up the timeline like it’s a '97 freestyle drop. Let’s not act brand new. Flex been the king of the rollout since before IG had filters. You remember that Meek Mill response record he swore he had in the stash? Bro was talkin’ like he had the Holy Grail of diss tracks, and then... crickets . Just a bunch of sound effects and hype. Classic Flex. But while Flex is still out here playin’ promo games like it’s WrestleMania, someone else at Hot 97 really is clockin’ out—and not by choice. 💔 DJ Enuff: The Exit Nobody Saw Comin’ Legendary DJ Enuff—yes, the Heavy Hitter, Biggie’s tour DJ, the man who helped shape the sound of NYC—is officially out at Hot ...

Summer Jam Just Passed… So What’s Next? #TalkinOuttaTurn

">Summer Jam went down last weekend, and like clockwork, the reviews were all over the place. Some folks were hyped, others said it missed the mark—but honestly, that’s been the vibe for a minute now. It begs the question: is it time to let Summer Jam be for the youngins? Maybe it’s time to split the energy. Let the new wave have Summer Jam, and build a whole new concert series for the legends. Give the OGs their flowers while keeping the vibe right—grown, nostalgic, but still lit. Imagine a lineup with legacy acts that shaped the city, with a crowd that actually lived through those eras. That’s a different kind of energy. And speaking of legends… why hasn’t Funk Flex been promoted to Station Director or Head Curator at Hot 97? The man *is* the culture. He’s been holding it down for decades, breaking artists, setting trends, and keeping NYC on the map. He’s not just spinning records—he’s been paving the way for the next generation of DJs and radio voices. But her...
