AUDIO: Funkmaster Flex Premiering Jay-Z & Kanye West’s “Otis” on Hot 97.

It’s all “Otis” all the time right about now. The dust may still be settling on public and critical reaction to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s latest. But around here at least one thing’s for certain: the audio of Funkmaster Flex premiering “Otis” – dropping his signature bombs, rewinding to exhaustion, chiding other rappers not named Jay and Kanye (“You rappers only breathe during certain times of the year. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!”), and talking maaaaad shit (“YOU WILL NEVER WEAR THE CROWN… you can CLEAN it – PAUSE!”) – has all but dwarfed the actual experience of listening to “Otis” itself. Easily a Flex hall-of-fame moment. If you didn’t catch it live last night listen below. And know this: THIS IS SERIOUS, NEW YORK CITY!

    Jay-Z has kept the lights on @ Hot 97 for 15 years +. Flex was HARD when spinning this. Blue Balls. Next year’s Summer “Jay” Jam will be Zoophilia.

    Back to talk my shit: How Flex gonna shit on Nas + Common/ Nas + Rae’s heaters? Nas shouldn’t have to push his album back, LOL. It’s 2002 all over again. Let the best vet win. “Watch The Throne” guys are lucky Masta Ace and MF Doom didn’t get reckless and push up their project to NOW. ~ B-Girl Talk Her Shit Too.

    I feel like someone JUST explained to him what “unique visitors” were right before he went on the radio.

    Flex is the man – a national treasure. We’ve said this elsewhere today, but he’s hands down the greatest DJ to ever SPEAK IN ALL CAPS.

    Flex is completely ridiculous on this, much more entertaining than the record itself.

    That has to be the funniest shit I’ve ever heard. I ain’t never heard him bring shit back for 20 minutes. The song is already hard, he made it seem epic. “…You can never have the crown. You can clean it and polish it, pause…” Are you really still makin’ pause jokes with what you got goin’ on up there? Really?…

    Pure Trash. Flex especially. These cats are real cornballs. NY stand down. Epic fail. Otis rolling over.
