Recently, rapper J.I.D. appeared on the ‘Rap Radar’ podcast and spoke about his upcoming tape with DJ Drama. When asked about his whole approach to doing freestyles, the rapper explained that he stopped doing freestyles because of the response, or lack of one, that he got from Flex when he appeared on the DJ’s Hot 97 show years ago.
“Funk ain’t even understand what was going on. He was kerfuffled. I was giving him something, and he ain’t even get it. We might go back one day. I silently retired away from the freestyles because I was mad at Flex because he didn’t respond the way I wanted to,” said J.I.D.
The rapper continued speaking about Flex’s response, saying, “It was like a childhood dream to get the bomb, and I ain’t get the bomb or none of the hype, so I was a little upset. But I think I’m gonna get back into the freestyle world just because it’s another part of the art, it’s another notch on your tool belt.” Watch above.
