The YMCMB X Hot 97 Summer Jam “fiasco” continued tonight with Nicki Minaj clearing up with Funkmaster Flex why she did not perform yesterday. Definitely a lot of emotion and points made by both parties and hopefully a middle ground was found. Click below to hear the full interview of Funk Flex’s with Nicki Minaj.
I tuned in from Orlando (BK native) looking forward to hearing Flex shut Nicki down but I was disappointed…Flex pulled back and let her go off even apologizing for his comments?!? SMH at least the music was worth it #teamRosenberg
Nicki kept it one hunnid, can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing.How are you gonna disrespect me and my fans because you’re hype about YOUR favorite artist?Peter Rosenberg maybe had the best intentions but he did it in a very tacky fashion that discounted Nicki’s worth as a performer.Taste is a matter of opinion, whether Nicki makes top 40 or hardcore hip-hop point is she’s the highest selling hip-hop female of all time and probably sold a significant amount of the tickets in that audience
Nicki said what she had to but the truth is that Rosenberg wasn’t wrong for stating the truth (and the damn obvious)…that Starships song don’t even RESEMBLE a hip-hop track. Nicki repeated over and over what she was about, making money. So yes, she sells records but that don’t make her music hip-hop it makes it marketable and commercial. Marketable commercial music is smothering hip-hop!
 @BKtoOTy What does that have to do with her being announced by Rosenberg on stage as “BULLSHIT”? Regardless of anyone’s taste in music, you don’t disrespect an ARTIST music.What if someone said, “this isn’t bullshit nas /f genuine YOU OWE ME”?Nas would’ve did the same thing.That was poor judgement against Rosenberg PERIOD, his word cost Hot97 a performance by Nicki.Her fans aren’t made at her, they’re mad at Rosenberg and Hot97Â
 @djlivelongshot He expressed his opinion, he didn’t say “here’s Nicki performing bullshit” he simply said that starships isn’t real hip-hop which is FACT. She knows who her audience is and it isn’t real hip-hop fans so she shouldn’t have been offended. No one that considers themselves a true hip-hop fan will listen to starships and a song like Jay’s Takeover and think they’re both hip-hop SMH.Â
 @BKtoOTy
 What a hip hop track sound like?
 @CandoWango Listen to Flava in Ya Ear, Rappers Delight, more recently listen to Wayne’s 6 FT 7 FT. THAT’S hip-hop. Good rule of thumb? Anything that could double as a Britney Spears track is NOT hip-hop.
 @BKtoOTy
 what about king tut the 3rd, super rhyme, the crash crew. Yeah, roxanne shante??? listen to those first. Then define hip hop
I can’t believe what I am reading, i don’t care how much rosenberg doesn’t like niki, he had no right to try to dis her. And then again who the hell is rosenberg, “the authority on hip hop” anyone that thinks he is, doesn’t really know what hip hop is. Its these new hip hop fans that think they know how to define hip hop. the original hip hop was an expression of ones reality in words, and it is not up to anyone to define, some dudes are lyrical, some dudes can harmonize, but it is all hip hop. Nicki, was completely right, if someone representing hot 97 has the nerve to dis her, then it is the station that shoud take the blame, funk master flex and all.
 @CandoWango he has every right its called freedom of speech
Â
 @rinconrico75
 can you yell fire in a crowded room?, can you voice your opinion on the summer jam stage? I didn’t think so
 @CandoWango Yes, when you voice your opinion on stage it’s called Lyricism, When you get up there and look and sound like a black brittany spears, it called “time to soul search” or “get the fuck outta the GAME”

I love Nicki Minaj dont get me wrong i listen to her on a daily basis but im from NY and i’ve been to alot of hip hop concerts that both hot 97 and 105 hosted and i go to listen to hip hop i respect Nicki for what she does as an artist and she makes music for all types of people me personally i think Rosenberg maybe didnt pick the best time to say what he said but it is his opinion and to be honest when i first heard Nicki’s starships i was like wtf i fell in love with the fact that she is a female rapper from Queens and i found it weird that she made a pop song like that but these artists are out there to entertain and sell records so if she makes money for puttin out songs like that then u cant hate on her grind but if ur gunna perform at the biggest hip hop concert of the year i dont expect to be hearin starships thats my opinion she got alot of hip hop songs and she goes in and thats what i would wanna hear from her at summerjam if i wanted to here pop i would be at a z100 concert but Rosenberg and Flex have their opinions and you cant knock them for that
I feel flex was wright nicki should’ve give the fans what they paid for at the end of the day THOSES are the ppl who made her who she is today u should never forget where u came from. Everyone is I intitled to there own opinion it wasnt like he as dissin her he jus saiid he like other songs better the others what’s the big deal… She wack for that.
 @Diamond629
 Yea, what about Wayne for putting her on, should she forget him? she would have any fans if it wasn’t for him. He told her to shut it down
I feel flex was wright nicki should’ve give the fans what they paid for at the end of the day THOSES are the ppl who made her who she is today u should never forget where u came from. Everyone is I titled to there own opinion it wasnt like Rose was dissin her he jus saiid he like other songs better the others what’s the big deal… She wack for that LIL wyane is too.
Beyonce was booed at a summer jam, and fall down stairs . And she got her ass up and still put on a great show …… She really need to pack all that pink shit up…….. What about drake talking bout Kim ….. Get the fuck out of here She’ soon for kids this shit sound’s so young
How she talk bad about all the other artist on summer jam then not 1 of them said anything bad about her that makes her wack and starship is a terrible song I don’t care how much it sells
1. Rosenberg wouldn’t dare make a comment about a male artist that was where cause he would have gotten checked back stage but he took a low blow at a female and I mean her team made the call. I understand that’s your job to make low blows but NOT THE FUCKING RIGHT TIME MAN,
Â
2. I was sitting next to little girls who soul purpose for being there was to see Nikki, like they was crying on the way out the stadium.Nikki you gotta think about the bigger picture.
Â
3. There are different ways this situation could have been resolved without not performing to the fans… Like make a statement on stage how it was not appreciated and how.you was contemplating not performing but don’t make the fans that take the time and money to come out and SEE YOU.
Â
4. At the end of the day, ignorance is not something to play around with and I honestly feel both parties took this shit too far,,,, Two wrong don’t make a right and at the end of the day. Nikki u a Millionare, Little kids, moms, fathers, bums, broke niggas, and law biding/tax paying citizens paid they hard earned money to SEE YOUR ASS figuratively and litteraly speaking. YOUR FANS and you shitted on them cause of a DJ comment that could have been resolved back stage..come on mama.
I don’t get it, if someone had the nerve to invite you to perform and then before you go on, call you garbage, you just go on as if it didn’t happen. That’s like going into a restaurant to spend your money and the proprietor of the restaurant disrespecting you, do you still sit down and eat as that same restaurant. NO!!! Performing at a concert utimately increases the listeners of a radio station. if that radio station allows one of it’s disjockies to disrespects the artist it is a matter of principal not fans. Everyone has an opinion, however it is not broadcasted on a stage where millions of people can hear it. When and if that ever happens to you, then you talk about nicki. The bigger issue is what everyone is missing. HIp Hop came out of the hood, but if you are under 40, you don’t know what I am talking about. To have someone in their 20s or 30s try to define who is hip hop and who is not, is beyond me. and then to have the nerve to do infront of the world. Yall just don’t know. Block parties in brookline projects, the fat boys on Miller ave. getting on the mic to flow with whatever. Nicki, got just as much right to not be disrespected before she performs as anyone else. To try to justify that nonesense is crazy.Â
Why was Nicki Minaj headlining again? She ass tho…Â
“I’m not scared of Lil Wayne!” – FLEX
She gotta do what Wayne say Flex… Or he won’t write no more of here rhythms…
Young Money don’t wanna compete so they get sensitive when you pull their card… Stop puttin pop records out…. *Flex for President*
Think it might be time for G.O.O.D Music to sign a female rapper… Put a lil motivation back in niggas hustle…Â
No one likes a sensitive rapper…
Â
Flex dont coddle rappers…. You been in the game too long and ya stain in the city is too heavy to have to coddle artist… Do New York a favor and don’t play anymore Young Money Records.Â
You might have to smack a certain morning radio satiation cast btw….Â
Question: After I see Rick Ross and MMG, Big Sean, Nas, Lauryn Hill, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Wale, J. Cole….. Why im I checkin for Nicki????
 @preedjr15 Real talk who would trade a chance to see Lauren and Nas do a full set for a Nicki one??? Let’s be real LoL I was happier listening to Flex spin instead and I can hear that every night
She was scared  -_-
Honestly… Nicki got at the most! 2 albums left b4 her relevance is gone…. Wayne might have 2…. Maybe…
Flex how many platinum artist we seen pop all this shyt and end up on reality shows to stay relevant… So why is she runnin down all these credentials???
YMCMB VS HOT 97 – WHATS BEEF? http://youtu.be/XSJRnaZ0NwE

Lady Gaga for Summer Jam 2013!!!Â
G.O.O.D Music should just wipe these niggas out this summer…. Imma need the G.O.O.D Music album to be a double disc btw…. Young Money is what Murda Inc should’ve been…. Success in the pop music game.Â
George Bush doesn’t care about Young Money!!
 @preedjr15 LMAO!!!!
YOOO THIS BITCH IS SO FUCKING HOLLYWOOD ITS PATHETIC…….. ITS AMAZING HOW THE FUCK SHE FORGETS WHERE SHE WAS BIRTH FROM……… NIKKIMINAJ ******GTFOHWTFBS******* ROSENBERG WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT…. STARSHIPS AMONGST HER ALBUM THAT I DIDNT PAY FOR ISNT HIP HOP…. SHES A FUCKING RAP ARTIST TURNED POP-STAR. NIKKI PLEASE….. STOP MAKING AN ISSUE OF SOMETHING SO SMALL…….. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE GET MONEY AND TURN HOLLYWOOD…… I WOULD TERMINATE ALL NIKKI MINAJ SONGS…… AND IF YMCMB HAS A PROBLEM…. ID TERMINATE THEM AS WELL! REMEMBER RADIO HAS THE POWER….NOT THE ARTIST……… EASY COME/EASY GO. HER FUCKING BABIES….. SHES SOUNDS STUPID AS SHIT……..
Come on Flex………Why you Gasin these irrelevant so called artists. The only thing they bring to the game is a whole bunch of good pics in XXL and good advertisment for the latest designers. Keep Summer Jam open for real MCs, not Hip Hop “Models”.Â
Bottom line is this, whether your a fan of her or not, Rosenberg disrespected her and her fans. So she disrespected they stage point blank period.
Â
I think Starships is the worst song I’ve heard from a hip hop artist since “Crank dat” but Summer Jam wasn’t the right time for anyone to say anything.
CANT EVEN HEAR THE STARSHIP SINGER… FIX THE AUDIO AND MAYBE ILL COME BACK AND LISTEN TO THIS BULLSHIT
