The mainstream scene was completely different. Everyone know they didn't get much radio play. That's got nothing to do with their underground popularity and ascent. They had mixtapes and DVDs on lock. They had mainstream DJs like Whoo Kid and I think DJ Self and Kay Slay fw them. Max, French and Grease were on MTV's Mixtape Mondays once (on TV) and Max B was on The Fader once. They were two of the biggest stars on WorldStar and were friends with Q personally.
Big Mike, Evil Empire, DJ Delz and other DJs ran physical mixtape operations back then too. They put thousands of Max B discs in people's hands across the Northeast. A lot of DJs including Big Mike ended up getting arrested because of the piracy issues from their Mix CDs.
Max and French didn't relocate to CT to run from Jim Jones. What world is this?? Jim Jones ran to New Jersey and lived nowhere around Harlem. Jim Jones and his partners was getting robbed, chair-smashed or chased out of boros and venues all over NY and beyond.
I lived my adolescence in New York and later moved out. Your stories sound like you were in the west coast or the deep south during that era. That could be why Biggaveli was a niche artist in your experience.
