Should we, as black people, be this okay with so many non blacks steering the ship of hip hop&#8217;s fleet? Do too many record companies, magazine outlets, and radio stations have too much &#8216;influence&#8217; in who our culture is looking &#8216;up&#8217; to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should these matters be controlled, By us instead of others?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Brj1dNMH3u2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

the reference. Side eye &#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>But yea &#8230; here you go.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/vNrG5lD2zmQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230; let&#8217;s get into even more context here. You need to also make sure you hear more of DJ funk &#8220;master&#8221; flex, having a whole meltdown over Dame Dash&#8217;s &#8216;culture vulture&#8217; theme. He does not want this topic discussed anymore. If it&#8217;s up to him, we are shutting this whole conversation down!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s almost as if Lyor got on the phone and TOLD his nigga to get ON The AIR right now and address this Damon Dash, before the end of the year. Especially before he does anymore &#8216;live&#8217; classes, or puts anymore negroes on the path to self owned empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the &#8216;word&#8217; Culture Vulture &#8216;bother&#8217; Dj Funk master Flex??<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, this goes back a while now. At least 4 years ago, when Dame first started pushing this into the conversation, Funkmaster Flex attacked Dame then. Dame actually &#8216;responded&#8217; saying that basically, he&#8217;s to able to speak freely, because no one is his boss. We can all remember those &#8220;Tweet like Dame&#8221; tweets, when he first got this discussion going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, I agree that Jay &#8216;should&#8217; address what Funkmaster Flex is saying, especially now that he&#8217;s suggesting Jay only became Jay because of Lyor.  Saying the &#8216;label&#8217; made the M.C. &#8230; and not his own skills or ability to create visual pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Was Jay &#8216;told&#8217; not to say something?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Damon Dash &quot;Yo Jay You Need To Respond To Funkmaster Flex&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SKLhodwDUOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this issue has been brewing for quite a while now. It&#8217;s a matter of time before we hear even more from all sides involved. <strong>We &#8216;may&#8217; even hear from Jay Z too. <\/strong> Jay is making a lot of moves with &#8216;the whites&#8217; right now. That isn&#8217;t a knock on Jay at all, as he is &#8216;also&#8217; making moves to own and control whole stakes;  Jay is also making music about the same. This &#8216;spirit&#8217; of encouraging blacks to be owners and not just consumers is what hip hop has been missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So just why would a black man have a problem with that?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Funk Flex calls out Dame Dash for calling Lyor Cohen a culture vulture <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5MVFmZKFch\">pic.twitter.com\/5MVFmZKFch<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Baller Alert \ud83d\udea8 (@balleralert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/balleralert\/status\/1075196194626957312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ekowdmg\/status\/1075391663948877825\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peep the entire &#8216;renewed rant&#8217; from Funkmaster Flex, and also commentary from <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ThoughtCrimez  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCzBs702BAVaLW2tia1mbnTw\" target=\"_blank\">ThoughtCrimez <\/a><\/strong>below.
