Shad Moss fka Bow Wow and Hot 97 DJ, Funkmaster Flex, are going in on each other via social media.
It started Tuesday night, December 13, when Flex declared that Moss' music was terrible.
"FYI-Bowwow is Fucking finished out here! Facts! His records is trash! Basura!" Flex tweeted.
Moss didn't waste much time in firing back. He put up a poll asking if people thought Hot 97 should fire Flex. 63% voted yes.
Moss then started going for the jugular.
"Flex you gotta chill. You too old to be on twitter thuggn,” he wrote. “You gone fuck around and die of a heart attack fucking w me. You too old champ. I don’t know what you and Monica got going on at home but keep that shit in the house and stop shoving her to the ground and keep my name out your mouth, Aston Taylor. Your name is Aston.”
"I ain't even know he knew how to use the internet," Moss continued. "Thats impressive for a 60 yr old angry dj who beats his wife and wears pelle pelle still with phat farm jeans and da da sneakers. You lie about the records you play. You scream more than a bitch delivering a new born. You wearing the same orange NYC fitted since Coogi was hot”
Flex then slammed Moss as being one of the worst rappers in history.
"@smoss haaaa!!! Truth hurts!! You top5 worst rapper of all time!! Facts!!," Flex concluded.

The Weeknd lands on the cover of Billboard's "Year in Music 2016" issue. The singer rarely gives interviews, but granted one to the publication.
He discuss his new "Starboy" album, it's influences, upcoming tour, songwriters he looks up to, dealing with the paparazzi and more.
Billboard: How long have you been working on the album?
The Weeknd: We started six months ago, and then we shut down the entire studio for four months.
Billboard: Were you consciously going for something more pop?
The Weeknd: Well, a lot of people think “The Hills” is pop now, but when it came out, the reaction was, “What is this?” People’s definition of pop just means whatever’s playing on the radio 24/7.
I wanted to drop Starboy as soon as possible [after Beauty Behind the Madness] just to show that this is what I love doing: making music. It’s very natural, very real. There was a lot of thought behind it, but I did it frantically, very fast, off the fumes of Beauty.
Billboard: So what’s different?
The Weeknd: I tried to find different registers that I hadn’t sung in before. I sang a lot of low stuff on songs like “Secrets” and “Rockin’,” almost like Toni Braxton. On “Secrets,” I’m a different person. I’ve played it for people, and they have no idea it’s me. I even wanted to make an entire album where it was all very “Vogue”-inspired, music like Frankie Knuckles and Chicago house. That was the initial idea for “Rockin’,” which is one of the first ones I finished for the album.
Billboard: When you listen to Weeknd songs, you can hear three characters -- the selfish guy (“Often”), a guy who is romantic but guarded (“Love Me Harder”) and an empathic guy (“In the Night”). “Starboy” might even present a fourth character. Does that sound about right?
The Weeknd: It’s almost schizophrenic, who I portray in my music. The vibe just represents how I feel, what relationship I’m going through, what friendships I’m going through, the success in my life, the failures in my life. It is all just documentation. I’m not going to sit here and just sing about making love, even though my favorite artists, that’s all they sing about.
When I was making the early stuff, I never expected it to be so big. I was in my own kind of bubble. I never wanted to tour, I just wanted to create music and make a diary I could put out into the world. And sometimes I became the characters. I like to look at it like a film -- for every director, every film is different, with different actors, different emotions, different plots. The other albums always had a theme. On this album, every song has a theme, is kind of its own cinematic piece.
The vibe on “Starboy” comes from that hip-hop culture of braggadocio, from Wu-Tang and 50 Cent, the kind of music I listened to as a kid. Bragging just sounds good, man. I was a teenager when I saw Scarface, and even though it was unbelievable, it’s kind of cool Tony Montana could survive all those gunshots and not feel them.
And there’s more than one way to do hip-hop culture. For the chorus of “Secrets,” we used The Romantics’ “Talking in Your Sleep” and “Pale Shelter” by Tears for Fears. It’s like hip-hop: Just grab it. We could have done the interpolation thing, but sampling the original gets the feel.
Billboard: Who are some songwriters you look up to?
The Weeknd:For me, Bill Withers is at least top five among songwriters. His [Live at Carnegie Hall] album is even better than the studio ones. It’s all passion. I also love Chromatics -- they were a huge inspiration for “Party Monster.”
Billboard: What’s it like living in L.A. and dealing with things like the paparazzi?
The Weeknd: I believe that if you’re always getting paparazzi, there’s something fishy going on. I go out, and they’re there sometimes, but I don’t tell the whole world I’m going out. A couple of times, they caught me. I had a few new cars, and I wanted to drive them. That was a mistake. They literally followed me from Beverly Hills all the way down to Hollywood. If I had a great car, with my old hair, it was hard. Now? It’s a breeze. I just put the hat on. My life is one hundred times better. I respect the paparazzi, it’s their job, I got no beef with them. Luckily, for me, my career is putting out the hits and interacting with the fans. I don’t need pictures of me being generated all the time.

When it was announced in October that Tupac Shakur had been included in the nominations for the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, Chuck D, whose group Public Enemy was inducted in 2013 had a few things to say.
"Got forever love for PAC BUT there AINT a solo rap act that should get in the RRHOF before @llcoolj I Dont care about what naysayers think," Chuck tweeted at the time.
During a recent VladTV interview, Lord Jamar and DJ Vlad, discussed the topic.
"There is a chronology as far as hip hop goes for people getting inducted into the hall of fame," Jamar said. "So, if we're gonna go by said chronology you can't just skip over LL Cool J. I think that's part of what Chuck is trying to say. I think he's saying if you can induct 2Pac, if you could even nominate him ... you should have nominated LL before this."
Is LL's hall of fame nomination long overdue? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Kanye West's meeting with Donald Trump today was the first step towards a big long term goal the rapper has for his hometown of Chicago.
For years Chi-town has been plagued by violence. Most of it due to warring gang factions. The city currently sits atop the U.S. murder rate for 2016 with 757 fatalities, and we're still a couple of weeks away from 2017.
Although the topic wasn't broached during their 15-minute sit down at Trump Tower, sources close to West told TMZ he wanted to get on the president-elect's "radar" and eventually work with him to bring peace to Chicago.

One recurring theme during the last several stops of Kanye West's now cancelled "Saint Pablo Tour" was the rapper's vocal support of president-elect Donald Trump.
Turns out he was very serious.
On Tuesday, December 13, the rapper visited Trump Tower in New York City and met with the outspoken former star of "The Apprentice" for 15 minutes.
When the two later emerged together in the lobby they posed for the cameras.
Trump told reporters that West was a "good man." He later added that they have been friends "a long time."
Before West left he and Trump hugged and shook hands.
West is in New York City to assemble a psychiatric team to treat him while he's on the East Coast, following his mental health breakdown last month.

Kanye West continues his road to recovery following his stay at UCLA Medical Center's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, in Los Angeles for a mental health crisis, last month.
The quest to get the best doctors to treat him has led him to New York city, to find the right specialists for when he's on the East Coast. His West Coast team will continue to provide almost round-the-clock care when he's home, according to TMZ.
One of the keys to keeping the G.O.O.D. Music CEO stabilized is making sure he continues to take his medication. West was taking the antidepressant Lexapro prior to his breakdown, but had deviated from the prescribed dosages.
Doctors are keeping West's stress level down by having him engage in activities he enjoys, like overseeing the remodeling of his Hidden Hills, California estate.
