In the overall scheme of things, no one.

He's a B-grade rapper, and he has a bad TV show where they "pimp out" crappy cars with crappier parts.

Probably so it's easy to locate when it's dark out? I dunno... maybe it adds like 5 more horsepower or makes it lightweight.

Yea and remember your probably a fan to 20 people i've never heard of so whooopdeedoo that you don't know who Funk is and don't care.....

If you don't like HipHop or Rap we don't care, we haven't gone around trolling Rock or whatever music you tend to like......

Yea man seriously, lighten up. If you're not a fan of the person, music, or genre, that doesn't mean you go around spittin you know? That's just rude.

In the interest of accuracy, there are two key points here.

1. It's Funkmaster Flex (2 words, not 3)
2. He is/was primarily a DJ/Producer, not a rapper (MC)

From VH1's website:

Not since the early '80s when DJs such as Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa were


acknowledged as two of rap's most popular figures had a hip-hop DJ attained such prominent status among the masses as New York's Funkmaster Flex. Throughout the 1990s he reigned over New York's mammoth rap scene, capable of making or breaking artists with his high-profile position at the top-rated radio station in America's top radio market, Hot 97. By the mid-'90s, he was also the weekly DJ at one of New York's top clubs, the Tunnel, and also had his radio show broadcasting on Los Angeles' Power 106, America's second largest radio market. Furthermore, Flex began releasing commercially successful mix albums in the mid-'90s, beginning with the first volume of the long-running 60 Minutes of Funk series. At the end of the decade, his popularity only continued to rise, landing him a coveted position on MTV with his own daily show, Direct Effect. Though hip-hop DJs such as Eric B and Terminator X had been recognizable names in the '80s and '90s, Funkmaster Flex was the first pure DJ without any affiliated MCs to match the popular success that early '80s artists such as Grandmaster Flash had attained, harking back to the early days of hip-hop when the DJ overshadowed the MC.
edit: I wonder what it's like to be a "no one" millionare that's been influential across multiple entertainment industries for 15 years? Also, if you ever actually watch his show, he's knowledgeable about a wide range of cars and puts his money where his mouth is in terms of sponsorship and development of grassroots racing. He doesn't just send a car off to some shop and foot the bill, he's involved in the build and likes to tie in bits of history that "car people" get. But, unfortunately, he's "no one"
It's true, I suppose, that in the grand scheme of things everyone is no one though

Thanks! Yeah, I just didn't know who he was, never heard of him. My kids listen to hip hop, so I catch it once in awhile -- not a hater, not a follower. But in the 80's and 90's, I was sporting the radical mullet and banging my head!!

I respect him for that, and although I'm no expert, another car enthusiast is cool rather than just flashing the bling and rollin' around kinda clueless.
