Max B The Thread

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

24 INCH RIMS, STROBES IN THE TRUCK

yes

his performance on that is great -- it def has this feel of almost going off the rails, it's almost like he recorded the song in a car that was going 90 mph on a freeway

'This nigga sound like donald duck'

Max B, watch out for alley boy, lol.

this is prob my fav quarantine beat right now. that woosh sound in the background makes me think of swinging ceiling axes from cartoons when we were kids haha

also, wow young qua verse

They Mad At Me is a killer beat from quarantine too, solid all the way thru tho.

see money i get plenty
if im drinkin while im drivin mix the coke up with some henny

"I Need More Money" is my jam this week

'flash dance' keeps getting stuck in my head

can we talk about how lol dame grease's 'goon music' verse is

also creepy -- "touch her where she never tell"???

butthole?

show me on the doll where Max B touched you

dame grease, whiney, dame grease

girls we be fuxtin til they pussies is swollen is gross & kind wish they had chosen a dif lyric since it's otherwise one of my favourite hooks on the album to sing, also the second hook/bridge after the french montana verse goon music baby, picture me rollin, homie take your dough fuck them hoes, take your tiiiime

what is creepy abt the dame grease verse?

just the way he says 'touch her where she never tell' sounds like hes molesting someone

i mean, i know what he means, i think, its just an odd way to put it

love the quotes on this

"every ten years niggas like you pop up / you a blast from the past / this music feel good like wakin' up, scratchin ya ass / i'ma keep makin hits trynna fatten my stash / on the block roll the dice, gon have my own wedding / trynna fuck with the bitches that be throwin the rice..."

lmao @ deej's pitchfork review just out of nowhere going "Max's lyrics don't have the opulent imagery of Gucci or the poetic minimalism of a rapper like the Jacka."

yes that was totally "that's our deej!"

jacka & max b sound alike imo

idg whats 'out of nowhere' about that

max b & jacka are like inverses of each other; one's a west coast rapper integrating east coast & the other is an east coast integrating west; they make total sense to compare.

i 'lol' at al shipley saying noe is worth anything, dude is a bogus jay-z clone

it also makes sense to compare those dudes bcuz of their rapping styles, which i did in that para

no it doesn't, pretty much the only connection between those 3 artists is "these are people that the author of this review loves and has to bring up at every opportunity"

i dont usually like to get into this because i think the writing stands on its own & i address that within it. if you need more, i still disagree with you.

both rappers i was using as examples because they are both max b's contemporaries and have a similar delivery style -- cool remove vs. the more emotion-on-sleeve style of z-ro or boosie

gucci was brought up primarily because hes the main pitchfork-acclaimed street rapper in the style from the last couple of years, so it makes sense to use him as a reference point

max b & the jacka are basically mirror images of each other, born less than a year apart, one incorporating west coast rap into an east coast style & the other incorporating the opposite. they both have relaxed, sing-song flows that are very melodic. of course, there are lots of differences too, but the framework to both their styles is very similar

also, have you even listened to the jacka? do you even know what you're talking about?

its not like these are 'artists i bring up at every opportunity' because i have some single-minded obsession w/ them, its because i think they are three artists whose significance to the art of rapping is real and observable & evident, that they are important rappers for the form. its beyond 'personal favorites.' there are lots of rap artists im into that don't fit into this -- an example is someone like AZ.

but you have it backwards -- my taste often tends to be more driven by what i think feels important vis a vis rap's development & my values w/r/t aesthetic choices made in that history; its not that i like an artist & try to justify that after the fact by making wild claims for them

i realize that this perspective on criticizing rap is very anti-some dude (sorry abt using your real name when shit got heated i wasnt paying attention) bcuz your style tends to be, & if im wrong correct me, very into rappers who dont make a lot of grand arguments of importance for themselves (something max b & jack & gucci all do) but are sort of workhorse low-key dudes like styles & post-roc freeway. which is cool; but i dont appreciate being told my approach is somehow not thought out or is simply about pushing my taste on other people when theres a lot more to it

but you have it backwards -- my taste often tends to be more driven by what i think feels important vis a vis rap's development & my values w/r/t aesthetic choices made in that history; its not that i like an artist & try to justify that after the fact by making wild claims for them

i should say, my taste as represented by rap arguments on the internet with people who care about that sort of thing often tends to be driven ...

bcause my entire taste isnt represented by the kinds of artists we all talk about in these debates, necessarily. a lot of times i see what im doing as a corrective, which means im working on championing artists that i like who may not have as much of a critical profile but imo are doing something observably significant that deserves that kind of profile

sorry if this is just whiney-style trolling that im falling for here but it seems like a serious argument on your part so u got a seriouscat.gif answer

it was a cute "rap album reviews v much in character" that is lol to us bc ur (prob) the only person we've ever heard/read talk abt The Jacka & in such great volume so using him as a reference point in a review intended for general audience is funny to your internet rap friends, like if i were to introduce you to my grandparents & walked back into the room a half hour later and the topic of conversation had somehow shifted to corny wu similes

yah i get that thats fine, some dude seemed to be implying something more

no it doesn't, pretty much the only connection between those 3 artists is "these are people that the author of this review loves and has to bring up at every opportunity"

i saw u dudes lolling @ it in advance but it passed a 'smell test' to me that it wouldnt be inappropriate in a review bcuz contextually, there are a lot of similarities between the artists mentioned & it made sense to my wider point about his rap style & how it differs from other rappers who approach rap w/ a similar style of insouciant, making-the-difficult-look-effortless style

but whatev i prob should have just left it at 'the writing stands on its own'
