Max B VS 03 Greedo

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I like Max B but 03 Greedo better lol

 

[MaxBundles]

My rep says Old York. I'm from NY. Max B had 0 support or love from the city.

People gave French even more hell.

Everybody was clowning on both of them hard body. Max's rep was known for being a drunk crooning non rapping ass MF and French had a rep for being a DVD non rapping ass MF.

I appreciate you type up all that sweet shyt cause max is one of my GOATs but thats not how it went down in real time at all breh.

You must not have been outside for real during that time or you a old head that was still bumping Kool G Rap during those years cause what the fukk you talking about nikka?

Haven’t listened to much Greedo so Max B is an easy answer. First time I listened to him at length was in 09 when he dropped Quarantine. I remember in my second to last year in college, all 3 of my suite mates were out of town for various reasons, and I had YouTube going on shuffle while taking a dump with the door open, and it stayed on Max B tracks and I ended up running a bunch of stuff back and it was all

Yea 03 got way more love and support. its disgusting how all these fake ass MFers wanna front now outta desperation. we use to get clowned hard for rocking with max n French.


now they legends tho

french was definitely somewhat of a laughing stock for a hot minute though.

 

[straightcash]

Thats why they got 0 airplay on any NY airwaves right?


they was heavy nowhere.

Max B and French were running for their lives from Jim jones and were forced to relocate to CT to not starve.

Dawgy; no offense but you an internet ass MF.

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.

Max was already done by then.....

dope to know the D was fukking with max tho.....


and not for nothing u didn't even know who shoreline mafia was who had 10000x the success of max and 03 combined. and 03 was on tracks with mafia

I knew who shoreline do that shyt or whatever they was called we just didn’t listen to that shyt until they started doing songs with Detroit nikkas.

Detroit a picky city. We give all music a chance but if we ain’t feeling it we cut them off cold turkey. Three 6 Mafia never got play in Detroit (only Project Pat) but Tela, UGK, and Devin the Dude did. We like the melting pot of rap music genres but if we don’t fukk with it you’ll know.

I’m talking about solo Max B songs.

Not the 05-2007 Dipset era, we played him and Stack Bundles then too

The max b overrating has become crazy. nikka was never more than a worldstar rapper. He's more popular now than he ever was in real time cause it's the cool thing to do. He's never been on 03 level.

This the joint that got me wavy

Are you from California? Max B and French were always hot on the east coast and on WorldStar in the late-2000s. Nobody in the Northeast was clowning you for liking either.


Obviously, Max B's name and fame has travelled far in the last 15 years, so a lot more people know about him and acknowledge him. But Max B made a huge mark in the mid-to-late 2000s as well.

1. Everyone who was fukking with mixtapes or rap blogs on the internet knew about Max B. He was putting out so many mixtapes back then in a span of like four years. It was an insane amount of music and his melodies were creative.

2. I remember hearing at least one song where Gucci Mane references Max B in the 2000s.
3. There's a whole gang alliance in Brooklyn, NY originally named after Max B. Woo vs Cho was originally WaveGang vs HoodStarz. There's even early footage where they say it was named after him.

4. Curren$y who is from New Orleans, LA was influenced by Max B, as were Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller from Pittsburg, PA. We've had rappers like A Boogie, A$AP Mob, Kid Ink, P-Dice, Rx Papi and PnB Rock grew up influenced by him.
5. Max B had caught the attention of Sacramento, NorCal label Siccness who flew him over to San Diego, SoCal just to have him record an LP for them. It's called Domain Diego.

6. Max B has a single and music video with basketball player Ron Artest and NorCal rapper Mistah FAB together.
7. Through his Siccness session, Max B has collabs with NorCal rappers The Jacka, Mitchy Slick, Smigg Dirtee, I-Rocc, etc.

8. Max B had collabs with Canadian and UK rappers even back then. Harvey Stripes and Haze off the top of my head. He also collabed with Southern rappers.
9. Max B and French had collabs with Beanie Sigel, Jadakiss, Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks even back then.

10. Max B came up under Dame Grease, the man behind DMX. Max was childhood friends with legends and when he came up in the industry he became associated with more legends. He was a legend too.

All those fans on the streets and on the internet is what got the movement, the legacy and the discography here today. His fans made him the legend he said he was destined to be. You could be a hippie or a playboy or a super gangster or a dumb thot, they all came together to bump Max B. Now he's close to coming home and the opportunities are endless. We got a lot of new music already and we're going to get more soon.

prolific posting


you could write the wavy crocket biography

You must not have been outside for real during that time or you a old head that was still bumping Kool G Rap during those years cause what the fukk you talking about nikka?
