Last month Conway The Machine slammed Funk Flex for dissing Griselda. He also had a scathing message for the legendary disk jokey by calling him an "Old Gatekeeper" because of the fair amount of quality hip hop music that he is allegedly preventing from hitting the airwaves. Apparently, he wasn't the only prominent NY-based artist harboring resentment towards Funk Flex, as Pete Rock would later chime in to share his disdain for one of Hot 97's most popular hosts.

“You don’t play real artist no more,” Rock Tweeted. “You talk shit like you better than everybody and I believe all threats with real talent in music were removed by plan out the way for that new shit to happen. You a NY nicca treating the other NY artist who put in work like our career is over. You stop playing Wu Tang You play no Griselda nothing, stopped playing a lotta artist then you judge mafuggas and make fun of that fact you control what you want when you on air.

Pete Rock continued: “So much good music out here to be ignored and as a black dude treating other black talented people like they beneath you. You don’t make beats or rap, but you shitted on artists cuz you could, and you stopped supporting real hip-hop music to cater to whoever got you in their pocket. That’s sucka DJ behavior.”

As the Tweet continued, Rock reflected back on his time as a DJ with Hot 97, in order to add more context and to explain why Funk Funk wasn't staying true to his duty as a facilitator of hip hop music. 

“When I was a DJ on Hot 97 & WBLS, I never fronted on artist in hip hop not playing their music,” he continued. “I played everybody shit even west coast shit you was frontin on. That’s why niccas is upset cuz you shitted for no reason. Black people not supposed to treat each other like that but deez days money will make a nicca do anything. Always been a funny style dude from day 1 only to front on niccas later and run that mouth of yours playing wack shit. [Funk Flex] you do this in your own city to your own people and be nonchalant about shit laughing like it’s a joke. Smh.”

It didn't take too long for Funk Flex long to issue a response of his own. In an Instagram message directed at Pete Rock, Funk Flex dropped a bomb of his own complete with allegations about drugs/alcohol abuse and flat-out mockery. He also indicated that he wasn't done airing out his dirty laundry with Pete Rock, by a long shot before stating that he'd have a lot more to say on the matter during an upcoming episode of his radio show this Thursday.

“I HAVE WATCH THIS GUY GIVE HIS ‘OPINION’ OF ME FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS!” he wrote in the caption. “HE’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE DJS, PRODUCERS AND MC’s!!! I HOPE THAT SOME OF OUR MUTUAL FRIENDS WILL UNDERSTAND THAT GOOFY HAS BEEN BEGGING FOR SMOKE!

“THURSDAY 7PM I WILL SHARE MY OPINION OF HIM! @HOT97. I GOT A FEW STORIES TO TELL! IF ANY OTHER DJS / RAPPERS / PRODUCERS OF OUR ERA FEEL AWAY IM IN THE COMMENTS!”
