  1. PLEASE ppl don’t hate cuz of the blackberry, cuz i know im bout to hear alot of it…

  2. blackberry is fine. its the same as a notbook nowadays

  3. notebook*

  4. i dig drake on the R&B tip but i think he pretty average as an MC
    and those explosions are annoying as hell, but funk flex is pretty damn annoying

  5. ^^^^Hell yea.I have to say that much of my respect for this guy has dropped down due to this.I mean what the hell?Actin all cocky in the studio and tellin Flex to bring it on…..and then here comes the good ol’ Blackberry!!!And then couldn’t find a good one to spit over the Nas beat so he chilled out and said somethin like “Hold on Flex I’ma get em,CAN WE COME BACK?CAN WE COME BACK TO IT?”(somethin’ like that).At least come prepared and memorize some shyt,least then people wouldn’t have seen this shit clear as day.WoW.Young Angel my ass,he’s gotta earn some respect again

  6. Or just keep on singin,cause I do admit that he can do that pretty well.Or keep doin songs for the ladies and take a shot at bein the next Fab or somethin.Shyt even the stuff that was in that ol’ Blackberry wasn’t even heat!!!And he was playin off it like it was the shyt!!!Man I think some this buzz is startin to get to his head.He should smoke more weed like Cudi to keep himself humble or somethin.LoL.WoW again

  7. Dat wasn’t an interview. It was an 8 minute club invitation.lol
    Blackberry is fine. No rapper actually goes off da head wen they “freestyle” nowadays.

  8. ^^^^agreed

  9. dont say NONE though…but true..drake makes hot songs tho so the blackberry is cool

  11. first time i saw a nigga “freestyle” off a blackberry and the shit wasnt even that hot

    i mean drizzy the dude but if you gonna spit a written atleast spit a hot one and not stumble

  12. So does that mean Joell Ortiz lost respect when he went to DJ Kay Slay’s show with Slaughterhouse promoting the Joe Budden show when Slaughterhouse was gonna make their 1st performance 2gether?

    He had his notebook in the studio spitting while Kay Slay played the beat and all that.

    Y’all could check it out it’s here on 2dopeboyz

  13. I personally think he had a off day just like any artist does. He sucked that day which isn’t normal but I’ve seen my fav mc’s look stupid sometimes like Crooked I, Nas etc. etc. but I still like ‘em. It is what it is.

  14. damn.
    come on cut dude a break..
    i sense some hate fam..
    dude is a dope mc..
    chill

  15. and here everybody thought dude was nice….guess he didnt show up today…funkflex is where it counts, lost alot of respect for dudes flow…he didnt prove that the hype was real

  16. I mean come on what did you all expect….JAYZ?! Jays been in the game for over 10 years. Dudes nice. Name someone nicer or with more upside!

  17. They pull dude out of the hallway and put him on the spot. With proper noticed he’d had his hottest shit to spit. He did take a L with those “F. Weesy” lines tho.

  18. of course everyone is gonna hate smh

    anyway

    cheers Drake

  19. I like this dude, but I think it’s funny everyone wants to cut him a break. If someone like Charles Hamilton or Tyga did the same shit would you “cut him a break?”

  20. One point to put out there….I don’t think he ever said that he was a freestyler or that he is thought of as a freestyler…In my eyes he is a songwriter. There are always gonna be haters out there, brush yo shoulders off my nigga!

  21. This is entertainment, so even if everyone spits writtens during a freestyle, you still need to put on the show like you just came off the top of your head with it. And what’s even worse is that on probably one of the biggest and most respected radio shows in the country this dude had some not so dope writtens to spit. When he was actually spitting a verse it was dope but it sounded like he did a broken down 24 bars that lasted for like 4 minutes. He lost some points for that one.

  22. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Ahhhhhhh, see? So it begins. The Disappointment. See what happens when you let women’s tastes, or co-signs, or little R&B gimmicks cloud the desire and standards for a SUPA MC? The game has no room for C- MCs! NO BREAKS. This little dude has been performing and done 3 mixtapes and can’t even go off the knot on the radio?

    THAT is your fuckin’ hero? Y’all on here giving him passes cuz you’re ALREADY DISAPPOINTED.

    Oh, and by the way, there are more than a handful of REAL MCs who can REALLY go off the knot! Jesus, some of you cats are just sad.

    But, you know what, all you Flake-suckers are already ruining it for him among real music lovers anyway! This is going to be hilarious. THIS is what happens with a lack of standards and culture! Fools and Sheep!

  23. damn i guess every1 spit they rhymes off blackberry..thot i was da only 1.. oh well

    dont nobody spit free shit these days ne way
    i wanna see Drake battle sum1 or make a diss record

  24. DAMMM!!! I CANT BELEVE THIS GUY, FUCKIN GARBAGE, TRYIED TO ASK FLEX IF THEY COULD COME BACK HAHAHA

  25. Drake looses points for this. Readin off a blackberry??? At least memorize the written rhymes…lol. Flex already feels a certain way about “internet” rappers”. He had Wale up there he would’ve spazzed.

  26. SMH @ niggas get tight over the Blackberry. Slaughterhouse was the first niggas I seen on the radio rapping off paper and Blackberrys. Remember Joey & Charles Hamilton writing in the studio? Joell going in off his phone? Calm the fuck down.

    His rhyme wasn’t that tough…I’ll give yall that. And the “can we come back?” didn’t help, lol. Especially not with real Hip Hop heads. But whatever. He’s just getting started. Future of rap. No other rapper out right now has the hood, the chicks, commercial appeal, underground buzz, and can actually make good songs that appeal to EVERYONE.

    Not Cudi…Not Asher…Not Wale…NO ONE EXCEPT DRIZZY!!!!

  27. damn i guess every1 spit they rhymes off blackberry..thot i was da only 1.. oh well

    dont nobody spit free shit these days ne way
    i wanna see Drake battle sum1 or make a diss record

    ^ He has! SMH @ the Johnnny Come Latelys jumping on the band wagon. When I first started fucking with Drake (about 5 years ago) he was dissing some other local Canadian rappers and tearing them to shreds! Google it. He toned his shit down a lot. On his first tape he was way more intricate with his rhymes. Now he’s more about the flow and putting together a good song.

  28. And I’d rather hear a well put together written than a nigga rhyming shit that aint even words and thinking it;s hot cuz it;s off the top. Fuck that. Give me what I came to hear not some BS.

  29. Average as an MC??????? Dude listen to his mix tape room for improvement. How do u only dig him on the r&b tip when in the majority of his songs he is rapping.

  30. damn. might be the worst ive heard him spit.
    shouldve just came with his barry bonds or ignorant shit verses. that was bad.

  31. Damn i didn’t realize there was so many Drake dickriders…lol. Oh well now i know.

  32. That was wack. He didn’t even spit. Mumbled a couple of bars that sounded like Lil Wayne and said unh.. the rest of the time. That’s straight embarrassing if you ask me.

  33. im a drake fan but he takes an L for this. CuDi got 09 on lock just watch and he actually freestyles off the top,wale would’ve done his shyt off the top too you don’t go on the radio and spit some sub par shyt definately if your reading it

  34. Not hatin on the blackberry, loved this freestyle and personally idc if he read it off the blackberry. People are always throwing shit around in their heads and you know it he just had it down on his phone for this one. And it being his first time on a legit radio station I’m sure he didn’t want to fuck up on Hot 97, and it’s not like he denies it. Drake and Cudder got this year.

  35. IM TIGHT THAT HE’S GETTIN A PASS, FACE IT HE’S NOT THE TRUTH. OFCOURSE EVERYONE SPITS WRITTENS AT RADIO BUT NOBODY ACTUALLY PULLS OUT THERE PHONE AND READS STRAIGHT OFF, U GET NO RESPECT FOR THAT.. THIS DEGRASSI ASS NIGGA DEFINITELY LOST MAD POINTS FRO THIS ONE

  36. If it’s not off the head, it’s not a freestyle. NOT everyone goes on radio stations claiming to do freestyles and then spits written. Believe it or not there ARE real MC’s out there who have an understanding of the art form and actually respect what certain things mean. This dude is a clown. And YES, I’m on his post saying this. I got a big ass haterade mustache on my face like fuck it. So what?
