TBT: How Funk Flex’s “Funkmaster Flex Night” Drop Actually Came From David Letterman

Rosie Perez x David Letterman x Funkmaster Flex night_LifeIsTremendez

For those of you who have grown up listening to Funk Flex every night on Hot 97 – and even those who haven’t – the infamous “Funkmaster Flex Night” drop that plays at the start of the show is one you can recognize anywhere. What many don’t know, however, is that it’s not just any old drop – it’s actually a sound clip from a 1993 episode of Late Night With David Letterman! And the funnier part? It was actually kind of a diss from Letterman!

That fall, actress Rosie Perez was sitting on Letterman‘s couch, discussing how she’d directed Lisette Melendez‘s “Goody Goody” music video, and how she cast the male lead after spotting him at one of Flex‘s parties.

The Bad Boy rapper stopped by to discuss his new single and its powerful visual, “A Little More,” and of course he got into plenty of other topics with Ebro and I as well.

Another Wednesday, another podcast – and another grammatically-flawed-but-I-edit-it-myself description from Rory:

Episode 14: Joe, Marisa and Rory pay their respects to Chinx and discuss the TIDAL B-Sides concert. Is Jay Z really just a closet Joe Budden fan? The podcast takes a quick serious turn as Marisa gets her redemption, and continues with the trio discussing the Iverson documentary, Iggy’s face, Male vs. Female egos, and the segments “I’ll Respond To This Email Later” and “It Might Be Over For…”

Rest In Peace, Chinx

Chinx and his family

Earlier today, I was sickened to wake up to the news that Far Rockaway, Queens-based rapper Chinx (formerly known as Chinx Drugz) had been murdered in New York in the late hours of the night.

After leaving a party he’d hosted in Brooklyn, Chinx and his friend were driving through Queens in his silver Porsche Panamera around 4am, when a car pulled up beside them. An assailant let off a round of shots, 5 of which connected with the Coke Boys rapper. Both were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where Chinx was pronounced DOA. He was 31. His passenger is in critical condition with two bullet wounds to the back, but is expected to survive. He has since updated his Instagram from the hospital. (Photo in the gallery.) 3 men have been arrested in Far Rockaway in connection with the murder, but no further details are available.

Rosenberg Radio Presents: Joe Budden x Marisa Mendez x Rory – I’ll Name This Podcast Later [Episode 13]

IMG_1874

It’s my favorite day of the week! Rory takes it away with his lovely description:

Episode 13 and there is something for everybody; Marisa being flown out to Philadelphia, Rory’s trip to Miami, the NOME 5 rap battle, “Mari’s Sports Desk”, and DeflateGate to start the podcast. The latter part takes a sharp left when the question of “Have you ever pissed on somebody?” is asked; as well as the return of “I’ll Respond To This Email Later” which leads to Marisa being a tad bit sensitive.
