POV?[edit]

Should this be tagged as POV? At the VERY least nonencyclopedic, but I'm not sure which one to do so am asking for opinions AJ Letson (talk) 09:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is extremely POV and needs to be flagged as such. Do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.16.65 (talk) 03:27, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of adding a POV template to this article. There are some obvious issues with neutrality in the tone of this article:
- The entire first section reads like a promotional advertisement.
- The whole article reads like a big resume, when it should be written in a biographical encyclopaedic form. I suggest a complete re-write for tone and a cleanup for form.

Funkmaster Flex Threatens To Ban All Interscope Artists[edit]

April 22nd, 2009

New York deejay Funkmaster Flex made a sizable threat on his HOT97 radio show. According to Flex, he plans on banning all Interscope artists from his show.

Throughout the broadcast, Flex made several references to an employee at Interscope Records whom he referred to as Nino.

“Like I told you, Interscope Records is a label,” Funkmaster Flex explained on his show. “They have G-Unit—they have 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo. They have Akon’s label too…A lot of your favorite artists New York, but let me tell you something. That label is trying to make some decisions. Nino, let me tell you something Nino. New York, I’m talking to a person who makes decisions. Who does things up there moving funny style.”

Flex then went on to explain that he will no longer play any music from artists on Interscope unless changes are made.

“Interscope Records, nothing is spinning…I take pride in how I’m gonna do this movement,” Flex explained.

Flex even urged 50 Cent to leave the label telling the Queens rapper, “From what I understand your deal’s up at Interscope. We got you. I’d walk out that building after that. Let’s do it, let’s do it.”

If Flex’s boycott were to in fact happen, major artists such as Eminem and Dr. Dre will no longer be in Flex’s rotation.

radio work[edit]

does anyone have more information on his radio show? in the 90s he was THE man in hiphop radio but beyond the introduction there isn't much on this - in fact the article in dominated by comparatively insignificant trivia about the tupac incident and a computer game. If someone has enough info on his radio show to create a section on this then I can add some stuff from a UK perspective (he had regular link ups with the biggest uk hiphop radio show of the time), although what I have to add is probably only suitable if there was more on his US radio work already in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HallucigeniaUK (talk • contribs) 21:19, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
