Tri-State area Hip-Hop heads already knew this was coming. After being called a “bitch” by Power 105.1′s Charlamagne tha God last week for how he handled the Nicki Minaj-Hot 97 beef, Funkmaster Flex let loose Saturday night with a trademark rant. Having grown up in Jersey, these rants are nothing new but are still hilarious. Unlike Flex’s issues with Clue, which he’s admitted are solely about competition and no deep-seated animosity, Flex got highly personal with Charlamagne, going as far as to repeatedly ridicule his father and dare him to do something about it. DJ Envy wasn’t spared either, as Flex talked in-depth about alleged robberies and snitching accusations.

The soundtrack of  Nas’ “Hate Me Now,” “NY State of Mind,” “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” and 50 Cent’s “How to Rob,” plus the trademark bombs, gives you a classic Flex rant.

If your Monday isn’t going too well thus far, this should provide a good laugh.

There’s a handful of emcees that have always been a pleasure to interview in my writing career. Killer Mike aka Mike Bigga is one of them. Mike is not only one of the most underrated emcees in the game, but also one of the most insightful industry people to converse with one on one. Below is a good interview he did with the Power 105 morning crew about his new supergroup with Big Boi and Pill, working under the Grand Hustle label, and southern albums his considers classics (Rick Ross’ Deeper Than Rap, Bubba Sparxxx’s Deliverance). We also get a brief update on Andre 3000′s status. Mike’s ”Bang” mixtape drops on April 19, and the new album PL3DGE drops on May 15.

Diddy and Charlamagne Make Peace on Power 105.1

Radio personality Charlamagne the God is known for ridiculing, and many times justifyably so, the moves of many artists in Hip-Hop. Over 20 years deep in the game, Diddy knows how to handle criticism. But even he thought Charlamagne stepped over the line regarding his vitriolic comments yesterday about Combs’s new Dirty Money album Last Train to Paris. What really drew Diddy’s ire were comments about Cassie, where Charlamagne claimed she had no talent, and earned her Bad Boy spot through the bedroom. About 10 years ago, this may have turned into another Steve Stoute situation. This time, both men resolved their differences behind closed doors, and gave a public display of reconciliation on air.

Some people are already saying that Charlemagne was forced to back down in fear of Diddy blackballing him. I think it was simply the fact it’s impossible to continue tearing someone down when they approach you respectfully for a face to face. At that point, the anonymous celebrity becomes a flesh and blood human being with feelings, and not just some remote figure. Artists read blogs and magazines. And no matter how long they’ve been in the game, their feelings can still be hurt from crass comments (even Jay-Z referenced the camel jokes about him on Blueprint 3).

All in all, a happy “love fest” ending, as Diddy pointed out. I’m interested to see if Charlamagne lays back on future personal attacks on other artists.
