Flex’s beef is because Interscope wouldn’t approve acts (apparently BEP!) for Hot 97’s Summer Jam and were giving them to the pop station (I’m assuming Z100) instead. This ain’t that noble, people….

It sounds like a great plan, but listening to parts of the interview where he lists off the artists on interscope… it seems like a real daunting task.
I hate Flex in general but good luck and hopefully this boycott works for him and for us as fans of quality music.
