[Mariah Carey]
Everytime, I feel the need
I envision you, on the one's and two's
In the DJ booth, I just want Funkmaster
To rock the set, play it on and on for me Flex..

[The League]
Yo, aiyyo come through, Flex on the one two's in the Tunnel
Peepin for Sax so we can creep it on the humble
Beams and triples, kitted whips and chicks flock the scene
Jake barricadin the spot, tryin to stop my team

Front of the line a few crips just throwin up signs
To the bouncers it's all real if you checkin for nines
I got a dimebag a Dutch a few foes and nuff rhymes
You holdin up lines, I breeze through and snatch up the dimes

Specific with mine, I'm Basic like Sharon within a Instinct
I mix drinks, and polly with chicks that keep they shit thick
And script ink, name with the number to get our clicks linked
I quick think, before you can blink, I'm on the next chick

Shot of Henny in my right hand, stumblin while I'm scopin
While Flex spins the plat hits, gettin them bitches open
In back of the bar, dime shorties actin like stars
After the party them same dimes is packed in the car
So what's the deal Ma?

[Mariah Carey]
Everytime, I feel the need
I envision you, on the one's and two's
In the DJ booth, I just want Funkmaster
To rock the set, play it on and on for me Flex..

Funkmaster Flex

Funkmaster Flex began his career as a producer best known for his work in the 90’s East Coast hip-hop scene. His discography includes both solo works, such as 60 Minutes of Funk which received RIAA gold standard, as well as his collaborative efforts with rappers such as Biz Markie and The Notorious B.I.G. Flex’s early music served as an inspiration for other artists growing up, such as Mark

However, Flex is perhaps best known as a DJ, most notable for his show on radio station Hot 97 in New York. His show often includes special guests who freestyle, also known as the “Funkmaster Flex Freestyle”, rappers who have participated, to name a few, include J. Cole and Mos Def.

Even more notorious, is the news and gossip sections of Funk Flex’s show. Although Flex is not new at inserting himself into beef, he immortalized his position in gossip when he perpetuated the 2015 Drake and Meek Mill ghostwriting beef. The Funkmaster played reference tracks from alleged Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller and dissed Drake on his show continuously. While he did eventually deliver on providing some “evidence” to Quentin Miller’s involvement with Drake, many criticized Flex for using the beef as promotion, even starting a petition to have him fired from Hot 97.
