Funkmaster Flex calls out Interscope records?

[PapiYankee]

I just heard some audio where Flex says that Interscope music will not spin on Hot 97.
He specifically said that Nino Cucinello is to blame. What is going on? Is this related to a Summer Jam artist or Now 92.3?

 

[johnnycakes]

is this something he said on the radio, namely Hot 97? So, listeners will be not able to hear Interscope acts on Hot because of some inside gripe? Sounds pretty ballsy to me. When's the last time a major station openly banned a major label and it's artists based on some indifference?

Hot 97 is well known for Banning Artists and Labels.

Most eventally end up back

I know some of you remember when Hot 97 Banned Nas after they found out what his plans were for a Summerjam Concert. Well after Hot97 told Nas either change the act(lynching a Jay-Z dummy) or his performance was cancelled, Nas Walked away from Summerjam and was Heard on Power 105 Summerjam night Blasting Hot97. Hot97 Banned Nas for about 6 months until he came on the air and basically apologized(without apologizing)

so what was the outcome of this ?

 

[PapiYankee]

In the last hour they played 4 songs from Interscope. Also thheir PD issued a statement that basically says Flex was just entertaining us with his rant.

I don't think they would want to stop playing music from Akon, 50 Cent. Lady Gaga, Solder Boy and some others who are in that label. People would be flipping the station then
