Funk Flex saluted Diddy during his last 7 p.m. to midnight slot on Hot 97.
“This right here. Diddy, what’s going on, baby?” Funk said while playing Craig Mack’s 1994 song, “Flava in Ya Ear.”
“I know you were talking about playing the Garden. I’ll come through,” Flex added, before talking about Mack’s song again. “This was so crazy.”
In 1994, “Flava in Ya Ear” was Mack’s lead single from his debut studio album, Project: Funk da World, released via Diddy's Bad Boy Records. The track was an instant hit, peaking at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs Billboard Chart, No. 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Project: Funk da World later peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart, and No. 6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Its famous remix features Busta Rhymes, Rampage, LL Cool J, and The Notorious B.I.G.
