Conway The Machine & Funkmaster Flex Exchange Words Over Radio Support
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Conway The Machine and Funkmaster Flex are a hot topic of current Hip-Hop discussion, this after the Buffalo, N.Y. rapper called out the Hot 97 DJ for his lack of supporting underground acts. Funk Flex responded in kind, sparking a debate about the role of terrestrial radio in the current landscape. Conway The Machine took to Instagram Live last weekend and expressed frustration over Funk Flex ignoring underground acts while explicitly stating in the video that he doesn’t need the radio support. For some reason, many on Twitter took Conway’s words to be a lament about his position in the game and that wouldn’t even make sense considering the success of Griselda and the rise of Conway’s own Drumwork Music Group label.

The former NFL player was on the trail over the weekend and delivered an eyebrow-raising comment on China and air pollution in a now-viral video that puts another ding in Walker’s armor. Herschel Walker was in Hall County, Ga., and over the weekend, journalist Stephen Fowler captured a video of the senatorial candidate fumble through an explanation of air pollution, the Green New Deal, and climate change in general. “Since we don’t control the air our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So it ...

Mario, 35, was riding the VERZUZ win wave pretty high but put a halt to his momentum via his #MARIOMONDAYS post by announcing the aforementioned “Main One” and he was apparently pretty excited about featuring the Canadian Varmint. “#MARIOMONDAY special announcement! This Friday dropping new music! This one called “MAIN ONE”! S/O to my bro @torylanez! We went crazy tap in!” read the Baltimore native’s tweet. Perhaps Mario ...

CNN reports that the marchers took to the streets in the early afternoon hours, dressed in khaki pants, dark shirts,...
