Max B The Thread

well & jim jones shit obv

'it was just like yesterday when i gave her the penis / she stroked my ego when she called me a musical genius' san te lolz on that one

glad "south wave" got a video, one of the best songs on the album

MAX AIN'T BROKE MAX B GOT A BENZY

Would this album be a good introduction to Max B? Or am i better off checking out one of the mixtapes?

i'd probably go with a mixtape but the album is really very good, it's just prob a bit more straight laced for ppl that are into the super out there, wavy max singing over britney spears beats type shit

Cool, thanks.

if you haven't heard anything i'd def first check out those songs that deej lists in his opening post

R2, D2
you ain't sneaky i peeped you
i could hit you from afar
by the dark coupe
snip your earlobes
i'm the sharpshoot

Yeah i did listen to a few youtubes and stuff. Will do a more in-depth investigation though.

i know he's not hostile towards jim anymore but the diss on "green gain" from 'vigilante season' is pretty great

they said i'd never rap again
i'ma clap again, until i'm all out
i balls out
me & homes never had a fall out
i ain't like the bitch from the jump start
he was all jealous of the pope
like he could ever come close
taught the nigga everything he know (ballin!)
???? shady rider man
he's the hobgoblin i'm the spiderman
i'm the tighter man, with the wavy
told the whole world i was broke
but i just spent eighty
just did... gravy
biggavells, where'd you get your house from?
you could thank amalgam
owwwwwwwww

listen to coke wave number none

coke wave is classic & near perfect imo

its one of my favourite albums of all time

cooleh story is really poorly written but it seems like he could have a shot on appeal idk

wtf happened to zvookster? he was annoying itt

the big zvookster post is the best in the entire thread fyi esp this

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

i dont think he quite has it there, altho i agree that max has a unique take on melody -- its a starting pt
but i dont want to give it away 4 free if u get my meaning :D

also all his other posts were distracting/annoying

... this stuff is kind of perfect to me, blend of really melodic ear & lyrical rapping, matter-of-fact real talk and a reggae-style inclination for reversioning classic pop jams ("do for love" "I want you" even effin "Englishman in new york"). dame grease's production is extroverted pop ish but with a real dilapidated feel, appropriate for post-golden era new york.

this is really great

just fwiw

ya definitely. dilapidated is perfect & so true, think of it especially on beats like 'goon music' or ones that sound like low-bitrate g unit beats

ive had that fucking 'wa-deedee dah dee dayyy' thread stuck in my head for days now

*melody* not thread lol

it's kinda weird that max slipped thru the cracks critically, being a dipset affiliate who isn't that far off of wayne's druggy, crooning prolific mixtape period

is raps arent obviously 'clever' so ppl who jumped on the wayne thing might be at a loss

im not really surprised by the lack of critical attention at all... hes a grassroots artist & critics are notoriously terrible at catching onto this stuff

only max can do this shit

played 'why you do that' 12" DJing last nite & it sounded amazing. its a damn tragedy that these dudes all rose in teh post-vinyl era. i want gucci's 'my shadow' on wax

tyler's putting his album out on vinyl, you should pre-order :)

ugh

noz's bedroom rap feature in the wire is a nice way to let me know of rap acts never to check for

yo you should check out that shady blaze i linked to in gun sounds -- the guy is from main attrakionz (who i've never heard) but there's no way that you wouldn't dig it -- maybe it's a little too unpolished for you tastes but it's basically contemplative doubletime trae raps with some r&b doubletime twista raps

ill check it out

you know who's a solid rapper? french montana

of course then he went & pulled an oj the juiceman on me & released that terrible mix cd w/ lex luger beats real & fake

I have now listened to both Coke Wave and the new album. I also like French Montana, hadn't heard anything of his before apart from that single with Curren$y from last year. Anyway i really like this stuff, but i always enjoy a rapper who's not afraid to indulge in some semi-amateurish crooning so it definitely ticks that box.

french montana is so goofy & sometimes comes in awkwardly but it's true he's surprisingly solid & really grows on u

nigga get wit her or get rolled over
on the grind can't get a day sober
breaks over, goon music takeover
cocaine in a coke wave makeover
i done seen real niggas foldover

feel like french handles his big awkward cadence well, always kind of towers over beats rather than riding them or adapting his flow to them

btw i love meeno

obv he is not dame grease's #1 priority but regardless

yah otm re: french's flow, i think the moment it hit me was that 'money weed blow' track w/ 3-6

MONEY
MONEY
WEEEEED BLOW
PIMPIN
PIMPIN
LAWWWTS OF HO

haha that "uptown" video looks like a lot of fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U8HAeRokQo

yo ive been bumping quarantine -- that shit is as classic as coke wave, maybe not as classic but its more Next Level

that guest verse on the last track. holy shit

beat on the title track :O

'friends' beat :O

me, dame grease gon rise
they hate us
ridin like big on the escalator
time to address the haters
niggas get left on respirators
on a jet, got a jet to vegas
couple white friends, got jets in flavors

HAIR NOT DONE BUT IT'S SLICKED BACK
DON JUAN CHILL
MAX B THE YOUNG RON O' NEAL
HOW YOU ACTIN LIKE THE GOD WON'T PEEL?

the second verse on "blowin my high" from vigilante season is sooo dope

dame roll the haze up, we ain't smoked enough
bezzie all brick, all frozen and stuff
chump act like he all chosen and stuff
pop at your forehead, nose and your gut
i'm known in the cut
i know a few hoes that'll shoot thru customs with o's in they butt
