Recapping Episode Eight of Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle (with The LOX and Maybach Music Group)

Last Sunday was the season finale of Season 2: Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle. He decided to go out with a bang by having both Maybach Music Group (Rick Ross and 'em) and my personal favorite- The LOX (Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek).

So Flex and Rick Ross had a bet going on that had to do with basketball. Knicks vs Heat, and of course, the Miami Heat won. The Knicks just became a decent team, but to put them up against the Heat was just stupid. To each its own, however professional basketball isn't exactly New York's strongest point. Streetball- yes. Professional Basketball- we're getting there. Flex decided to give Ross a brand new white Ford Explorer with 24 inch custom wheels, Sony sound system, Custom Interior, Baer Breaks, and a new front bumper.

Like I mentioned before, I was excited when the LOX walked into the door. I loved them since I was a little girl living on Long Island. They didn't discuss any type of cars, but I enjoyed the interview, simply because it seemed more genuine. I can't really talk about the LOX segment, because cars wasn't discussed, they came to just chill with Flex. But who doesn't enjoy Styles, Sheek, and Jadakiss.

Finally the Maybach Music Group comes in, and they discuss music first. Ricky Rozay informs everyone that they are developing their own wheel company. Flex settles up on the bet and presents Rick Ross with the customized Ford Explorer. The finished product looked good, however, Rick Ross doesn't strike me as a Ford Explorer type of person. That's like giving Lil Wayne a Dodge Durango.

Bonus Clip: Jadakiss and Sheek give hustling advice.

Funk Flex Full Throttle

I've actually been lucky enough to hang out with Jadakiss several times, and he's an interesting person. From advice to storytelling- he has a way to make you want to stop and listen.

Honestly speaking, I expected more from this series. I didn't think that this show would have been the TV version of his Hot 97 radio show, but in a way, that's what it was. It was more about who he could get to be on the show as opposed to it being about cars especially with a title like Full Throttle.

P.S. If Jadakiss comes out with his own coffee, I'm supporting it.

Ridin Music: Rick Ross' "Teflon Don".

(Album Cover by Jonathan Mannion)

I really haven't done that many Ridin Musics, seeing how this isn't a music blog. I just use that section to show what I listen to when I'm in the 'Voy. But I will talk about the album I (along with a lot of other people) was most anxious to come out was Teflon Don.

Shockingly, the majority of the Ridin Musics have to do with Rick Ross, and ironically he's not on my "Top 5 Dead or Alive" (No offense William). But I can and will talk about this album.

Let's be real, 11 tracks, rather short, but at least there's no interludes, as well as he had plenty of company (guest features) on 10 out of 11 of the tracks. It's not a bad thing because unlike a lot of people who has a million guest features, at least they don't overshadow Ricky.

Of course I mentioned that I liked Super High, and I was about to post a page about B.M.F. (Blowin Money Fast) with featured Styles P of the LOX, but I decided to wait until the album came out to see if it lived up to the hype.

And it did... Very rarely can I find an album that I play all of the tracks, and this is one of those few albums. I will say this, even though there's more guest appearances (Jay-Z, Jadakiss, T.I., Styles, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Puff, Gucci Mane, Kanye, Erykah Badu, Cee-Lo, Drake, Chrisette Michele, AND Raphael Saadiq) than there are tracks, this is Ricky Rozay's finest work.

There's no download cause I do recognize good work, I don't promote bull, and would rather people buy it. That's why I only highlight certain artists, despite whether or not if I photographed them. But click on the album cover and it'll take you to Amazon.com where you can listen to samples of every track and buy the album or song downloads. You're welcome.

Now if only Clifford can release King Uncaged...

P.S. I don't care what anyone says but Track 8: MC Hammer feat Gucci Mane is a strip club song.

Ridin Music: Bernie's Song Of The Moment

So DJ Khaled rounded up Snoop, Ludacris, T-Pain, and Ricky Ross for the song "All I Do Is Win". THEN, Khaled rounded up even more people for the remix... brace yourself for the list. We have Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Puffy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, T-Pain, Fat Joe, and Swizz Beatz. And on top of that, Khaled decides to rap.

Of course, the remix has 10 people on it, so each person basically gets two bars on a 5 minute 20 second song. It's a little bit more than two bars, but not much more.

So muffin butts, if you want to take a listen to both, I got them below. The original version is first:
