Fabolous – "Funkmaster Flex Freestyle"
This? THIS is the Fab people came up on long before the Internet connected the world to Hot 97. For me, a young kid from VA at the time, I’d always hear of these epic freestyles Loso (who still spelled his name during this era) would lace over the tri-state airwaves. DJ Clue was hyping the guy as the next savior of rap music. And every mixtape I got my hands on would leave me to believe he was telling the truth. Since then, John Jackson has gone on to create a successful career for himself with a string of platinum albums and several hit singles.
It’s still good to see he hasn’t forgotten his roots though. Earlier tonight, Funeral Fab stopped by Funk Flex’s show and dropped this five minute freestyle equipped with more punchlines than a Smack DVD battle. Flex wasn’t shy with the bombs either.
Raise ya glass, now let’s toast to when we didn’t have
Hustle + muscle = success, I did the math
I see haters in passing, yeah they ’round
I be on the way up, they be on they way down
