Recapping Episode One of Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle

This past Sunday, the season premiere of Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle was shown on MTV 2. I've always liked Funk Flex, probably because I grew up listening to him in New York. Plus I always loved his TV shows, where he actually went to auto shows as well as customizing cars for celebrities, and those types of shows have always been my favorite. And meeting him in person was a plus, simply because he wasn't rude, he was actually nice.

So aside from the bad acting in the very beginning (his assistant wasn't very convincing with the few lines she had), once show got started it wasn't bad...

The show was about Flex seeing his new office space and customizing a Chevy Impala for Lloyd Banks and a special guest stopping by while Flex was customizing the Impala.

If you missed the episode, here's the Full Episode below:

I did wish that they showed a bit more about the actual customization of the Impala. I felt it was a bit rushed through, but they had to make time for the interview with Banks. I wish that this show wasn't compacted into 17 minutes. I did love how during the first commercial break was dedicated to Flex's sponsors.

Do You Want to See What 50 Cent Drives????

50 Cent was kind enough to extend an invitation to Access O, a South African Magazine to his home to show everyone what his house looks like and what three luxury cars he drives.




P.S. And yes, 50 Cent can be kind. Trust me, I know. He was nice to me both times I've seen and photographed him, and yes, that photo of him above is one that I've taken of him.

Ridin Music: Bernie's Generous With the Ridin Music... again.

So in the spirit of the Ridin Music section, I decided to be less judgmental and post ridin music of those with familiar faces. If I posted every single song that I receive, especially those who think they're talented, then this would turn into a music site, and I don't want that. It's just for those who want some new music to play in their vehicle. I'm just trying to look out for you...

First up, and do NOT judge me:

(I don't know if Sir Jonathan Mannion has photographed Willow, but I do know that he photographed Nicki)

Although I was never one to listen to child singers, rappers, etc (even when they were my age. When I was Willow's age, I was listening to the Notorious B.I.G.) this song grew on me. I thought the chorus was adorable, "I whip my hair back and forth". Of course, I chose to put the remix with Nicki Minaj on here, to not ruin my street cred.



Round Two: "I Can't Help It" by T.I. feat. Rocko.



First things first, doesn't T.I.P. look adorable in this photo? I love personality shots, over the stereotypical shots of rappers where they try to look tough and they really aren't or not overly so. I'm not saying that he isn't tough, but I love the shots of him smiling like this. Oh and here's the song.



Round three: Lil' Wayne feat. Drake "Right Above It"

(I can definately confirm that Jonathan Mannion photographed both of these photos)

I seriously love the beat... and the song.



And finally, my favorite babyface rapper- Jadakiss with 50 Cent "Dump (It's Like That)"



Is it me or Jadakiss hasn't aged a day since he recorded "You'll See" with the rest of the LOX?



Might as well condense the Ridin Musics so I don't have to put a bunch of separate posts. That's not being lazy, after all, SEMA is coming up...
