In my opinion, Max B would flourish in any era in hip hop especially today where you don’t need the machine/record labels to push the button anymore. French did a lot of leg work over the past 15 years to be in the position he’s at today. You can say whatever about his music and lack of talent but dude is very bright when it comes to networking and is business savvy.
All he had to do was simply plug Max B into the system he built and give him all the resources he needs to succeed. His first day out has already generated alot of buzz and he looks like a superstar.
Jim was supposed to do this for Max during his come up from Byrd Gang but Jim didn’t care about his artists well being and wanted all the shine, attention for himself. Then when Max started to pop on his own, he started getting jealous and tried to stop the wave from happening.
The only expectations Max B have is to only deliver good music, quality projects, stay consistent, not involve himself in goofy internet shyt/drama and stay free. That’s it. That simple.
As long as he does that, he’s gonna be relevant no matter what. I haven’t even mentioned all of the rappers that were influenced by Max that will bless him with verses. Max is having the best first day/week out of any rapper and I can’t wait to hear Coke Wave 3.
