If there’s one thing Hip-Hop fans could count on, it was Funkmaster Flex at 7 P.M. on HOT 97 — dropping bombs over your favorite records and sharing what the city sounds like in real time.
But after more than 30 years of owning that primetime slot, the legendary DJ shook the culture when he announced he’d be playing his “last show” on HOT 97 — leading fans to believe he was signing off for good.
On Thursday (Aug. 28), Flex took to Instagram with a message that immediately had the culture buzzing. “THIS MONDAY LABOR DAY SEPTEMBER 1ST WILL BE MY LAST SHOW ON HOT 97 AT 7PM! ALL THINGS COME TO AN END! END OF AN ERA THAT I ENJOYED VERY MUCH! I SUPER ENJOYED IT ALL! I WILL MAKE THE LAST SHOW A GREAT ONE! APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME OVER THE YEARS!” he wrote, in all caps.
