It took a good while for the DJ to take Weezy seriously…

Legendary hip-hop DJ Funkmaster Flex has opened up about Lil Wayne, and talked about the disputes he and the Grammy-winning rapper have had in the past.
Funk Flex says that he likes Weezy's music now, but its taken him a while to view him seriously as a rapper.
He told Future iMag: "I remember Wayne when he was a kid, through Cash Money Records co-founders, Baby and Slim. I enjoyed talking to him. I do think there was a point where me and him may have lost our way.
"I think because I was always friends with Baby and Slim so I always kind of treated him like the little guy. What I do like about him, yes it's how talented he is, I think though, as he started becoming so big, and there was something I started feeling a little sorry for him about.
“And not him per se, I think me as a music fan and people as music fans put too much pressure on him to make us feel good and give us that music. But, nobody said that this guy has to carry hip-hop on his back. We're making him. But I like him."
