Funk Flex Rehashes T.I.’s Crimestoppers Ad: “You’re A Clown”
Leave it to Funk Flex to voice his opinion months after the discourse initially took place. In the wake of Verzuz season 2 announcement, including the long-awaited Jeezy vs. T.I. face-off, Flex had some things to get off of his chest in regards to snitches in hip-hop. Of course, this is related to the CrimeStoppers video from over a decade ago that continues to haunt Tip’s existence.
Despite stating that he has the “utmost respect” for T.I., Flex unleashed a scathing rant against T.I. over the CrimeStopper video but it seemed to paint a larger picture about the DJ’s feelings towards rats.
“He’s a positive brother who does everything for his community! He also helps others any chance he gets,” he prefaced his rant before claiming T.I. is inauthentically portraying himself.
“But please don’t try to paint a narrative in social media to the younger generation that ain’t true,” he continued. “You doing @crimestoppersatlanta and testifying in court / trial! What would u call the next man that did that? Comments off.” He shared several other posts referring to these allegations before taking aim at the industry as a whole.
Flex’s remarks weren’t limited to Instagram, either. Evidently, Flex is siding with Jeezy in the upcoming season premiere of Verzuz. He went on a full-blown rant on his radio show, claiming that Tip “ain’t that type of rapper” because his music apparently doesn’t connect globally.
“Me, personally. I don’t take you serious. You testified and you make CrimeStoppers videos,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with that but we ain’t the same,” he added.
“That Jeezy situation, you gon’ see what the real street is like. You gonna ignite that streak and the streets gon’ be in them comments and they gon tell you exactly what you are. You’re a clown,” he said. “You such a clown. Last time you got caught testifying, then you went and put up videos with your pushing and shoving with Game.”
Tip’s addressed these allegations on numerous occasions, most recently on the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God pressed Tip about the video which began making widespread circulation earlier this year, though its existence was known to most before then. Tip has denied that he ever snitched in his life.
“I’m not willing to tell on nobody to keep from doing long numbers and cancel out millions of dollars in my career but to keep from doing a drop to tell citizens what citizens are already able to do. I’m gon’ do that every time.”

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
