I went from this to Million Dollar Baby.

Max really has the most perfect songwriting structuring I've ever seen a rapper have. The shyt is hypnotic. The way he starts he verses off in what sounds like the simplest and most catchy way possible (in contrast to how rappers make whole verses or songs based on two catchy jingle tempos: The bar cadence and the sing songy hook delivery), but gradually built on the complexity of his rhyme patterns every two to four bars.

No, really. Listen to that verse he got up there. It starts off simple to catch your attention and make your head nod, by the time the verse is over Max is spitting his ass off.

Biggie used to do the same thing. Listen to his verse on "Victory". It starts off simple. Even has a pause every two bars. By the time the verse is done, the flow is air tight.


But then Max had a meeeeaaaan hook game. Stupidly good. Nate Dogg wasn't doing it? Max was the BEST hook man alive.

He had a unique style, the look (no homo) and that mush mouth speech impediment that not only made him stand out, but he could have been bigger down south than he was on the east coast.

All of that topped by this stoopidly high natural charisma. Doing the backstroke and calling himself The Silver Surfer? He made that shyt work. Somebody already mentioned it, but the only rapper I've seen with charisma that high was Mac Dre.

Max was the total package, dude. Hell of a talent.

:mjcry: hell of a talent.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Max would've hit that top spot in Hip-Hop...I don't know how long he would have kept it.

for a Hot min hip hop was was nothing but Mini Max B.. they took his whole swag


I mean, he'd be right there with French and he was by far the better of the two. That dude gotta be so sick sitting in prison hearing about how his boy is making millions, knowing they were about to blow up :francis:


His hooks would have kept him in business for a long time.
