yeah i'm into this to a point, like i said when he came up in swag last year thru the first rnt comp. i got into him thru noz, predictably enough. this post, in fact. deej is actually in the comments there but since a gucci track was up first i guess there was no way he was gonna make it to the end. anyway i ended up dling a lot of tapes, reading everything i could abt him and actually wrote the original version of his current wikipedia entry for some reason.
i think noz realized he was doing something unique in NY with his relationship to melody, sort of like a less embarrassed, less cynical 50. 50 often sounds like he's too gangster to really try to sing, so he'll just indicate melody enough to get it across or condescend to make it commercial. with max b his woozy relationship with melody is inherent in every track, inherent to who he is & what he's doing on the track. anyway i agree coke wave is a good starting point, & quarantine next. i have a few more but i can't really distinguish them tbh. there was always another tape coming up. on further investigation btw, last year's A Wave Called Yes is a mix of old and 'new', i presumed it was all old because it has shit like "tattoos on her ass" on it plus, u know, he's in jail.
i presumed he was gonna be in jail forever, plus after the first flush of summer i think his mixtapes are just a nice listen, so i'm not really excited abt him as a future talent at this point but i'm enjoying bumping coke wave again, it's sounding gr8.
― zvookster, Tuesday, 1 February 2011 13:20 (thirteen years ago) link
This whole tape is great forgettable and fun sing song rap in the way that Kid Cudi’s publicist would probably throw around those words, except for real. (It’s probably not new either in the sense that Max might have dropped six tapes since.) Here Max and one of his weed carriers from straight out the Roy Rogers Fixins Bar float around on this ethereal track. It’s like something the Block Beataz would whip up had they grown up on the Heatmakers instead of Mannie Fresh.

i've got the "best of the wave" mixtape - it's some dope thugged out melodic music but i don't have too much to say about it really. 50 is the obvious reference point for me. what's the crossover with this tape and the others you've mentioned btw?

pete rock did a song w/ max b & it bangs.
heres what it said when pete rock talked about it in vibe:NY's Finest--Pete Rock (2008)“I got introduced to Jim Jones through someone who was working with him. I called him up and said, ‘Hey, I’m going to come through your session with some beats.’ We did a song called ‘G’s Up,’ which was on Jim Jones’ first solo album. Then from that came the song ‘We Roll’ from New York’s Finest. This was before Max B got locked up. Jim told me that Max actually convinced him to jump on that song because he didn’t understand how to come in on the beat. Max was kind of helping him out [laughs]. But it came out excellent.

― some dude, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 03:52 (thirteen years ago) link
id heard OF him of course, and i heard him on some other shit since, he was on that jay diss track or w/e, but it was the first solo song of his i heard yeah.

this is kind of irrelevant but i actually first heard it cuz dudes at dirtyglovesbastard had highlighted it, which is where noz first heard it too i believe
yeah "You Gotta Love It" was the Jay diss. but like "Baby Girl" was the Jim Jones semi-hit he was actually on, i thought that's what we were talking about upthread!

oh yeah it was noz's other max b post where u had hurt feelings re gucci, sorry for reducing u to a stereotype.
as a grown man who was once repeatedly reduced to furiously typing "shut the fuck up, you're irish" in an internet rap argument, u shld learn to 1) take a joke once in a while 2) think "i actually got off kinda lightly there, thank goodness i only get clowned every now and then and am not a total joke figure on here"

Currently serving a 75-year jail sentence, rapper Max B is keeping busy making use of old and new technology to make new music. Old technology (the payphone through which he raps over collect calls) and new technology Legitmix, an innovative new platform that allows the Hood Internet-produced track "Hold On" to be released with an uncleared Madonna sample.

Legitmix lets you legitimately give away or sell your work by creating a Legitmix file for your remix, mash-up or DJ set. A Legitmix file is like an instruction set fans can use to seamlessly recreate your work using their copy of the source tracks. Legitmix can search a fan's computer for source tracks so they only need to purchase the ones they are missing. The recreated remix is identical to your original version and can be automatically imported into a fan's iTunes library. In a few clicks fans can buy your work and the original tracks you sampled.
