Episode Date: February 6, 2026

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the legendary, Max B and French Montana! In this unforgettable Drink Champs episode, the “Wave God” Max B sits down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN for one of his most candid and powerful conversations yet. Fresh off the news of his long-awaited prison release, Max reflects on his life — from his early grind in Harlem and rise in the mixtape era that birthed “wavy” culture, to the mental and spiritual growth he developed while behind bars. Max opens up about his influential role in hip-hop, the creative chemistry he shared with longtime friend French Montana, and the legacy of the C*ke Wave movement that helped shape modern rap. There are real talk moments about overcoming adversity, setting intentions for life after incarceration, and his plans to re-enter the music game with a renewed vision and major collaborations. Throughout the conversation, Max balances introspection with legendary stories — acknowledging the impact of peers like French, the evolution of his sound, and his mindset as he prepares to turn the next chapter into one of triumph, creativity, and cultural influence.

and global superstar. The thing I would say to my younger self is congratulations. You get to marry Priyanka Chopra Jonas. And also, you know, your daughter's incredible. That's beautiful, man. Yeah. Thank you.

That's so beautiful. I can see that got you a little Yeah, for sure. Our daughter, she came to the world under sort of very intense circumstances, which I've not really talked about ever. Growing up on Disney in front of million, how did that shape your sense of self? I went blank, I hit a bad note, and then I couldn't kind of recover. And I had built up this idea that music and being musician was my whole identity. I had to sort of relearn who I was if you took this thing away.

Who am I? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Segregation and today, integration at night. When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping on another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. And you saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform.

The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush you. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and visit Myrtle Beach, comes Charlie's place. A story that was nearly lost to time. Until now. Listen to Charlie's Place on the Iheart radio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

For decades, people traveled across the world to see John of God. Desperate for cures no doctor could offer. And when they arrived, they saw things they couldn't explain. This is real. This guy's actually doing surgery and it's a miracle. I never believe that miracles were real until that point. But behind those adoring crowds was something much darker. One of the reasons why I never went to the police is because I saw at least five or six men with guns everywhere he went.

That was clear to me, like, close your mouth, don't open your mouth, don't say anything. I'm your host, Martina Castro, and in the podcast, Two-Faced, John of God, will look back on a man who claimed he could perform miracles and got people from all around the world to believe him. From exactly right and Adon de Media, this is Two-Faced, John of God. Listen on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Volkswagen Beetle started out as Hitler's dream car. It wound up as a beloved hippie icon and the best-selling car of all time. How did that happen?

I'm Jacob Goldstein. And I'm Robert Smith. On business history, we tell the surprising stories behind the inventions and entrepreneurs that shaped our economy. And the story of the beetle is truly surprising. It has so much in it. It has Nazis. It has the German economic miracle. And it features one of the most famous ads of all time, an ad that really redefined what advertising was in the United States.

The calculation was that there was some number of Americans who were ready for something different, who were ready for something that was counter to the culture, if you will. Perfect. In this new decade of the 1960s. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, and watch episodes on YouTube. think I'm still in New York. You know what I mean? And on both shows,

it seemed like the record was added into rotation. Yes, it is. So are y'all independent? How was that? Or, I, because I'm... Yeah, independent. No, y'all do.

For people who's... Let me get back into the finishing album. For people, like, you know, that's in the Bronx and Harlem and Brooklyn or Queens, that want to take the independent route, what kind of the advice would you say to them that want to be independent,

but still want to be added to that radio show? Just how your bag up. Okay. I feel like, you know, the labels, they, you know, they, they, they strongest suit is dumping a bag on you that you never get to recoup. You know what I'm saying? I feel like, you know, I got a chance to get fucked a couple times, you know what I'm saying? Then, you know, and that was fuck you, you know what I'm saying?

So I guess, I remember bumping into Clef one time at the studio. Rock left. Yeah, yeah, why Clef? And I was like, yo, bro, he was like, man, the best advice. I give you, stack your money up because one day you're going to have to go to war without these labels. And they're always stuck in my head. So when I start dropping all these hits and this and that, I mean, no problem with the labels because they all help, you know what I'm saying? But there's no way why I shouldn't be making money off unforgettable. There's no way why I shouldn't be

making money of Pop Dad on my first album or the second. You know, we got so many hits. You know what Like the hits speak for their sale. I haven't made one dollar of unforgettable. And it's almost double diamond. No, that's the way that way that way. Wait, double diamond is $2 billion? It's $20 million. $20 million.

That's $20 million. That's $20 million. That's just in the States. Around the world, probably like $84 or something like that. What you mean you ain't make a dollar? How much money they spent on the record? That's what I'm saying. When you're coming up as an artist, you're not really looking at that.

You're just looking at, okay. Looking at that upfront money. Off front money because you're trying to get your bag up, you know what I'm saying? Then once you figure out that you're making money in the back end, that you want the back end, so it's kind of not fair, you know what I'm saying? So you can't really be mad at the labels because you're supposed to look at all in the beginning. But now it's on 100%, you know what I'm saying? That we put our own money up.

I mean, radio, what it costs? I mean, $2.50? Right. You know what I'm saying? So you drop $2.50. A couple billboards. Yeah. Right.

No, you know what I was on time. So let me change something a little bit. I'm going to close up the album. You, when you left, that was 17 years ago, correct? Yeah. And you had these labels, these advances. What made you listen to him and say, fuck it? You know what I mean?

Because, like, I mean, I became spoor you, you know what I mean? Like, I still, to this day, if you asked me independent or major, I still going to go major because I like, I like four seasons and shit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? I don't like the comfort in and shit. You know what I mean? Like, but what made you say, you know what?

I'm going to listen to you and let's go independent. Because I'm assuming that was your idea, right? Yeah. Okay. What me? It was... It was... It was...

It was... Okay, okay. Nah, because we just... We just like, you know, we established as far as, you know, putting our shit out there, and the fans gonna go grab it. Right.

So I just think, you know, depending on the rollout, who needs a label? You know what I'm saying? If they ain't on... If they ain't on board, fuck it. Like he said, we working, we're active. I'm doing, I'm doing my shows.

I'm active. So I can hang out until there's time, you know what I'm saying? Just keep putting our work, keep going to the studio, stay busy. And, you know, fuck with the algorithm. That's what we do. That's right. I'm laughing because that's the shit he called me with. You know, Bleak, you got to do the podcast.

The algorithm, fuck with you. What's the algorithm? That's right. Her dick is speaking intelligent. Her dick is speaking in telling you. Okay, obviously I know what this mean, but listen to people know what this mean. Pop, pop the half. Thinking on larger.

Take a little fix for later. Okay. That's my shit. Pop to half? Yeah. Who beat with that? That's how I mean? No, that was some shit that I pulled out the phone.

That was Dre London to be shot to my guy, Dre Lundon. Oh, Drey London. That's from Post Malone. Yeah, he had said it to me to get on, and I saved it, too. He was running chance for like three days. Yeah. Did he quit? Yeah, he quit.

Man, my type of digger. He's Virgo, September 6. That's my brother. That's my brother. But he's made the beats or one of his producers? I can't remember them. So shout to that producer that made the beat. Okay.

I got goosebumps when they played that. I was like, no, this shit. Right here. That was, I think that's that record right there. I was in red. Now you're back in pocket. I was in rare form. Okay.

You ain't need that pop a half. You were looking, you know what I mean? No, he needs the pop a half. The pro's in the zone. Real. Okay. Heaven. Same shit.

Child of Justice League. Justice League. Okay. Yeah, I had that beat for like two years. Oh, you were a hoarder with beasts. Yeah. Yeah. That's the whole heat.

Yeah, that's all. I ain't going to laugh. Yeah. You good, man. You just, like, I like that shit, man. Maronique. Sometimes, I don't listen to shit. I didn't have shit.

I put out, I had a beat seven, eight years. Wow. Damn. Wow. Yeah, I had certain records for, like, a year listening to them. That's how I know a record is a hit or not. If I keep listening to it and I'd be like, okay, I could keep listening to this record. That's why I know it's a hit.

But what do you mean, the record already recorded or just the beat by itself? Both. Both, okay. Give it a million. I'd be able to die with that beat. That's the first thing I asked myself before I make a song when I listen to a beat. Can I die a beat? with this beat. If I had to listen to one beat for ever,

with this beat, every song like that's my process. That's why you're not Max Biggerabow. That's why right there. That's hard. I ain't never heard of no shit like that. That's crazy. That's crazy. Can we listen to this shit forever? Wow. Nah, I ain't going to lie. That's an ill profit. You never heard of it. I've been around for a long time.

I've been around for a long time. Okay, Metro Wave. Oh, Metro Wave shot to Metro Boomer. Metro Boomer pulled up on us. He stayed for like three days, and he just popped that joint right in. It was just like, that was like one of the furry joints he played. Max just looked at me. He was like, yeah, let's go on this one.

If you can hear that shit, he just went off. I feel to be working with the new young heat, man, because these niggas didn't exist when we was outside back there. Nah, it'd be love. I like fucking with the young day. I love it. You guys got that, and Metro got that smoke. Then, Metro, that's my...

Metro's supposed to do the whole tape. You know how Metro works. He needs time. He needs his time to... He gets a lot of money. This is the two-week tape, by the way. Why? We did this in two weeks.

Not to me. Two weeks. Two weeks out to go to live. It's like that Picasso paint. Yeah, that's like... You know, when he painted that, he joined five minutes and charged Homeboy like $5 million. He was like, yo, you charged me $5 million for five minutes?

He was like, nah, I'm too. charge you $5 million. For these 40 years, it took me to put this together in five minutes. That's what that was. You were here by every beat I'm telling you. You were staying for two years. Yeah, so it really wasn't two weeks. Effortless.

Harry Fraud. Shout to Harry Fraud. He's been putting up. Max had that already. Yeah, I kind of had that. That was like one of my joints. But, um, bro just like, yo, I got a, I get on that.

But that was just like, I try to give, you know, me, I'm on some, I like giving a niggas goosebumps when they listen. So I'm trying to intimidate the other, all the competition. That's what I'm going for. That's what that record is right there. It's like, look, I did all this time, y'all can't fuck with me. That's all that record is telling you. We're doing effilessly.

Effilessly. Eiffleston. What brings me to Me Too? Oh, wait. Me, too was another one. Yeah. So me too, me too is a joint that he had for his tape. So he had wanted me to do these two records,

walking down, the one with Larry June, that one, and he told me to pick one, so I picked me too. And as soon as I did, I was like, oh, bro, we got to put this on that day. Who else jumped on that? On me too? Yeah. No, nobody else jumped on me, too. It was me.

I came in the studio and I jumped on. No, we got a number version. Somebody jumped on that shit on the third version. I don't remember. Who jumped on that shit, Black? Or me, too. Cornwall is? Yeah, I think,

Carl were in one of them. Okay, I ain't here yet. Yeah, I mean, I ain't hearing me. That's crazy. You said, kiss. Me and my dog Cheech was saying it sounded like kids supposed to have a person. Oh, yeah, yeah, kiss, kiss, kiss.

Word up. I don't know. I don't know. It was a record that Max had already. I did that in prison, but that's his joint. That's his baby. You had that shit for like six years.

Yeah, it was, he did a jail. Oh, he sent it to you in jail. and you ain't do it in jail, you're foul, nigger, French. That's some shit he's got in there. Word up. And I'm like, oh, no, you might never come out, my, my, boy. I ain't know that. Let me see if you're going to come home so I can do it.

Nah, but he had that since he was locked up. And I remember the damn Greece was teasing a couple times. And I was just like, you know what? Let's not put that out. I put it on tape. But he was against it at first, because he was like, I could do a lot better. Right.

You know, I'm home. I did it in jail. Right. But it sounded like you. did it now, though. That's right. That's a fact. He don't expire. It's not.

No, it's no expiration date or heat. Starvanation. That's his shit. Yeah. That's one of the Metro joints. Metro was in the back, cooking up on the low. He was holding out. So he was playing joint.

You know how niggins be there and give you everything. He ended in the sysia. So I said, he goes in the back room. I went to do something, went to the bathroom or something. something said, going to go on this room he's in there

with the with the sabination plan so I'll go back I'm like I ain't say none I went back

in five million I said you know this this nigga holding now now he said he came back in

he played the joint I'm like man he was holding now he played the joint shout the metro

man man but that's my shit that's your shooleck shot the cash too You know, keep the tape balance, smooth, without. Okay, let's go to the skit part two.

What's the shape of skit? That was the narcos skit. They're bigger than the popular west come on. You know, we always be having them skis ever since Coldway 1. That was just some shit we whipped up together. I don't even know where he'd be getting them shit from. It's not Ayak. It's not Ayah.

No, it's kids. Before A. A.I. You're tucking. Now, you said Narcos. Now it's going to Narcos. Metro again. Okay.

This is... Droke a day. Yeah. This is after Mesh. Metro came in and he did sarination. He just, like, heard the tape now. Now he heard his groove. Now he heard grease and heard fraud and heard all the joints

and he just locked in again. And he got to understand. If we don't say his name, I don't even think you'll know that's a Metro booming trap. That's how different he had to switch his style up. But he did that shit like that. And then he came with them joints right there. So imagine if we had like three months to,

We used to work on the aisle. Yeah. What we did did. You sue baby. That's some shit we did, right? We was going to do it on the joint and we switched it. You was like, yo, put it on this joint. Because you had a beat in your iPad.

I was spitting some shit regular. No, you had a beat. Over the beat. And you was like, yo, we some time went by. You was like, yo, what's that shit you spit like 20 minutes ago? You was like, yo, put it on here. Yeah. And that shit came out crazy.

Yeah. I sure don't even seem like Sunday 17. Nah, don't, man. Hold on. Let me just go through the album. Let's go through the album. Let's talk about that. All You Can Be.

Be All You Can Be. Halloween, you can be. Just keep calling. Yeah, that's yours, yeah. That's your name. You know, they think it's too many. They make too many. They make too many.

They're right. In front of us. Shot them in Zahar. That's just some shit that, you know, you wouldn't expect it here. It's vintage. It's kind of like retro sound. My three siblings. That was my mom's favorite.

But I'm on there talking. So you got to respect it. I'm helping the beats. I'm bringing up, I'm elevating these tracks. These are Old Testament tracks. Some of these tracks. They're not up to date with someone would think. This is what I would try to tell people when I was like,

it don't matter. They think they think they know what I'm going to do. Nobody knows how brilliant I can be when they come to this shit. It's just brilliant. It's brilliant. I say this makes him noise. Shit, it's not easy. It's not easy, man.

So two better than one, though. So I'm surprised. Niggas like me, you got chinks on there. Yeah. So, yeah, let's talk about that one. What's the Purdue and that line? Shout to doubt. Dollar Bill.

Dollar Bill made the track. He had Chase on that part already. He was ready to take them all because he ain't know, you know what I'm saying? He's like, yo. And I was like, nah, let me see if I could implement him. So I was like, now leave change on, boom, did the, did the, came back with the hook, and the bro came and heard. He's like, nah, that was that.

That's how we put that together. But shot the Dollar Bill, that's my man. You know, right. He made that track. That's how that came about. And rest of peace, Chakes. That's the rest of the, bro. The ball.

That's the big. What's your piece to the bow. Sunday school. Church. Church. I'm talking about it. That's just a throwback joint. That's like a, that shit going to take you back to elementary school.

It's going to take you back to junior high. These are different elements we touching on, not just doing the typical concepts. This is concept music. Right. Make you feel good. It's the shit you can wake up in the morning. Right. You can press your play.

You're going to feel good. It's not going to be too loud. It's not too noisy. No, he got noise. No, they got noisy music, please. Shit, be just noisy. Yo, that's my bag. Be dumb, don't.

Nigger. Shit, just noise. Like, man, turn that shit down. Yeah. Noges is noise. Tone deaf. They're a word. He's yelling.

You know what I'm saying? So, this is all Sunday school. Man, no, we needed that. feel good music, man. So happy I put this album out, man. Because we needed it, bro. I needed something to listen to. Niggas got me feeling like I'm 16 again.

Get the strap with a black hat. Like, what? Tease me. That's his joint. Now that he's saying the whole track list, it feels like the first half is your, it's A and B. I see how y'all was going.

It felt like you should have named it the French side and the back side. It's kind of like he did the coach. I kind of orchestrate the culture joints. He more sort of commercial here, put the singles out. Yeah. That's my weak part of- Y'all say I'm both good together.

That's right. Yeah. We trust each other. You already know like a basketball player. The longer y'all play together, the more y'all trust each other, the better y'all gonna be, the more chemistry y'all. It's just piggybacking off each other's shit. So who would do's tease me?

I think, um, Vibb, Pop, C, what's that nigga in the name? Red McFly. Red McFly. Red McFly. Yeah, McFly. How do you do that? Yeah, he has to get it spread it. Like I wasn't.

That's the fads join I liked. The oh, do-do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was coming on some other shit. I was on, that's like some, I was trying to give me the niggas, like a old man, young nigga vibe. I was loving that beat. He didn't want to do that.

He ain't really want to fuck, but I had to, like, pull his arm. I'm like, man, get on this record, please, this shit's hard. So he wound up getting on it. But this shit was hard. I think his verse was hard. This shit was hard by saying. I'm looking for the producer name. Was there any record that you, that any of y'all felt like, damn, I got to sit with this one.

I'm going to come back to this one. Because, you know, every record, sometimes you have a verse right then and there. Then there's certain records, you're like, wait a minute. Yeah, shot the rippo. Ripple on the beat for a one. Was there anything like that? Even though y'all think it took six years and seven years with beats and shit. Yeah, nah, we married.

Yeah. Shit be marinerate. I just don't feel like, unless we got a design, unless we got like a date, a timeline, I try to not put no time in on my shit. Let me, let me say it like, let me say it like, hold on time one of y'all lay a verse and the other one hearing and you like, hold on, he kind of smoked me. Let me go back and smoke him. Yeah. I'll be trying to do that sometimes.

He'd be fucking my shit, bud. Pause. Pause. That's the fun part. It ain't like a nigga's shit, not. Yeah, that's the competitive. If we're going in the same time, and he smoked me on some shit,

I respect it. I'm not going to go write my shit over. Because I'm definitive. That's right. If I write some shit down, that's what it is. I ain't going to front. Hold on.

Let me finish this last question, then I'm going to it. I mean, this is the last one on the album tip. Rich off a name. That was old joint I used to like for him. Okay. It's just like a crazy feature he had did. And I was just like, you know, we just got to touch that again.

Right. You know, that was the vibe on that. Okay. You too? No, that was my shit. That's a, that's the shit. He was like, yo, man, he was talking to my dad in prison. You got to do this one.

Yeah. And we just going through beats and I heard it. I was like, oh, I. Pull that up, yeah. And that, oh, matter of fact, oh, yeah, you said that was the one we did the second, second, the second joint. That was the second joint we did. So, yeah, now that shit came on hard, too.

Okay. That's for the album officially, Coke Boy 3.5. Cause y'all missed the third one and y'all already upgraded to five. Yeah. How much. That's that? Yeah. Now, Max.

There's people who go home to prison. I mean, I go home to prison. Excuse me. People that go away to prison, right? And, like, a lot of people are saying, like, you know, even like the little dirk, right? Like, little dirt, they went to court the other day. Free dirt.

They said that free dirk, yep. And they said that, like, none of the homies was there. Was there a time during your bid where it was just like, I mean, obviously you were lonely, but was there ever a time where you felt like that? Nah. Okay. I had support in love. My family supported me the whole ride.

This nigga been around the whole ride. Everybody, my man Black, my wife did like 12 years with me. I had Frank, you know what I'm saying? That was my man. He was holding me that. I had a lot of, yeah, shock to Frank Babel. A lot of people in my family that you see right now, they was here, you know what I'm saying, in the beginning, support me. So I ain't really had that problem.

I mean, I had my days where I was like in the hole in the box, but you know what it is what it is. You're just all part of the shit. That's just a suck. And French held him down, man. Kept the vibe up, kept the wave up, man. You was fighting outside for him. You was really repping, rapping. Yeah, no, yeah.

I don't even trying to get to his spot. Right. But you know, a lot of niggas, like, a lot of niggas do what French do and forget, bro. Yeah. I see, we see it all the time, man. This nigger got to a level where he could be like, man. You know what I'm saying?

He never. forgot, man, and then to bring you, you come home, and then to put you right back where you belong. It's like, nigger. Do you think you got the best coming home hip-hop release? Yes. Because there's a couple of, shit night had a mean one. You don't remember?

Listen, man. Pompon had a mean one. Capone had a nice one. Coupon, shout to Pone. I was hoping to see Pone, me, Pone. They shout to Pone. You ain't meet you. You never met Pone.

I never met Pohn. Damn, yo. You know what's crazy? I was going to set up a second because I was going to ask me, I was like, yo, who do you think had the better come home? Because, see, we was in that days. So I did what I could do for those days, but you, I believe right now

no one can fuck with you. No, facts. Like the best coming home. Hip-hop. I have my own group. You think it's never together. Oh, my God. Damn.

You think it's never together. We do too much business. That's why I got it. I just did my own rollout. Right, right, right. It was. Yo, I've been trying to get the component Noriega interview for two years.

I don't think these things recorded together. That's funny. Look at you, you wrote your own roll-up? Yeah, it was just my own rollout. Like, you see the content. I was looking at some content this morning. I was like, damn, we were back in the day.

I was like, damn, we was ahead of our time. I said, this is why we're in the algorithm. right now because we did all that back then. We had constant, constant, everyday content and now to come out. So all that shit just massed together. But it was simple.

Once I, when I had the, when I had the Jack and then I used to see how that shit was coming. I'm like, why, it's a lot of shit up here. You get in the loop. It's an algorithm.

You know what I'm saying? So I said, all, let me just come out and do everything in one day. Everything in one day. through a party, the game, a dinner, another party. And we did, what we did, what we did, what we did, what we did the Jets game? Who was the first party we went to? Was it Social Fuego or that, um, South

Sao Fuego or that? Yeah, they said it was like the tunnel in there that day. Man, that shit was like, this is that tunnel energy. Yeah. Oh, I went to all the first night out. But that shit was, it was crazy. I stepped in real quick, checked in, boom, and they got a body there, but, But that was it.

Right. And you're a real, nigga, man. You've been still fucking with Lady Al for years. That's my homie. Shout out with me. Shout out. She's been telling it all for years. Now, we've seen you have Brandy and Monica Carr said.

That's when they blamed you for the Jaroos shit. And, um... No, no, no, I mean, that's what I'm just saying. You know, that's what they said. I'm saying. That's what they said. You corrected it. You corrected it.

You corrected it. But then you actually had your own show. And I got to see it, obviously, I wasn't there, but I got to see it. How did that make you feel? Because even the Brandy and Monica show, you could tell that crowd, they're aware, but that wasn't a Max Bigger Vell crowd. Yeah, it was. Your first show, not Sonson's Crinker, but where it was just you performing. Palma.

Yeah, yeah. That was in Brooklyn, right? Yeah. Okay. How did that feel? Now, because that was all you, all your fans, everybody coming out to see you. It was, it fell euphoric. That shit was euphoric.

And then BASD was like, look, I told y'all. It's how my shit looked. Right. And my soul out back to back night. That shit dripped out. Jumping off the stage, that'd be my fucking thing. That shit was wild. Go up here $1,500 cardies in the craft.

Jump off stage twice. When the fucking crowd, there ain't one for me. Ah. I didn't see that part. That shit was bad. That shit was so. You know, a step die?

No, I jumped. I was about to do a mosh pit. I jumped off the joint, and then I went on the step, and then I worked my way to the middle. I just worked in the crowd. I was working around, baby. I was just going to be.

Now, French, wasn't you recorded a movie? Jesse Terrera? The one we did together? Yeah. I got it. I killed that scene, man. You ain't going to use it. Give me my shit back.

Everything in Morocco is fucking fringe. They love us out there. They love you much. You like, I had no idea. And then I start paying attention. This thing is like fucking Jesus out. So you like the biggest starter came from Morocco? Yeah.

Really? They got this thing of pictures everywhere. Shit we never saw. Wow. He all covers the shit with a ain't in America. ain't in America. No, I ain't ain't think of that.

I hope they make it work my wild when I do come out there. That's a long trip. All right. What kind of chain is that, French? Peace for a king. So this, I went to Somalia, not Somalia, Ethiopia to do a show.

And I went to the King's Palace. He had passed away. So he had, he had all the jewelry that all the kings gave him from like a history of time. Then I just saw something that the Moroccan king gave him. And it was right there. It was the same shape, same everything. So I just took a picture of it.

And I sent it in. Oh, this is a righteous deep shit. I thought there's some 47-seat now. Yo. I told you my dad. Yeah, that's a lot. Shout to Avi.

Little old man, and, you know, like my manager told me, wherever they sell music, they sell drugs. Music produced drugs. Make a noise, you, baby. Five, you guys. Straight up. So, let me ask you, Max. Because like, what, no, no, no fun, no, not being fun, but you created a whole wave, right? Not being funny, but you really did create a whole wave that people follow, right?

Is it times where you feel like people owe you for following or it's like, is that, is that, is that, is that a homage to you when you see people paying, when you like, you know, people bite in the wave and saying they, you know, got little Max with me in the wave. Like, you know what I mean? like, you know, shout-outs, you know, what's my man named, where's Khalifa, and like, all these people that show you love. How do you reciprocate that? I don't feel like nobody owe me nothing. Like I said before, I think you had asked me this when we got to talk before. Yeah, we were on the phone, yeah.

Nobody owe me nothing, man. I owe the game, man. I'm a student of the game. All right. I love the people. I love the fans. I appreciate the fans. Without the fans, this shit wouldn't even be possible.

So I just do it for the fans. I do it because I love it. I don't even... You're good to see humble Max. Right. Yo, you know, I'm thinking about, yo, D-D Max with the... Yo, what the bird? Yeah, it's crazy.

And then I'll get back outside. Yeah, I got to get back. Your TV rap or video music box? Video music box. Yeah, me too. Yeah, okay. I agree with that. Bismarkey or ODB?

I'm sorry. That's a word out. Now, ODB, now ODB was... Now, that nigga was really nice, but... I came to the middle of it. But ODB had more impact on my own. If you go back and listen to that shit now, you'll hear how nice that nigga was.

ODB, yeah. I just watched the new documentary. Like, as they never despite, like seven months ago. I can name two Bismarcky songs that I bet you know. Vapers and just a friend. And just a friend. You know all for them. Yeah, yeah.

You probably know Pick and Buggers, too. Yeah. I never heard that one. Too old women. You heard before in the party. Make the music more. There go. Yep, yep.

Okay. Drake or Kendricks? Mm. Somebody text me. I mean, stay out of this noise. I like them both. Okay. There you go.

All right, okay. K-R-S or Raq Kim? Ooh. I had to put it on for the Bronx, man. Raq Kim? Raim? Rok Kim? Do this.

I go KRS one time for the Bronx. By Kim was too nice, man. Carres was... Rock Kim was too nice. Karrs had two prayers. You realize Joachim wasn't cursing? Man, Wachim was a lyricist. He'll never curse.

Yeah, he wasn't cursing. All that. Bid's shit, none of that. You know what I'm saying? None of that. It was all right. He was never cursed. He was still performed.

He's doing shit for a white house. First time. You go out the bitch. You go back and listen. That's crazy. And think about it. His delivery was tough. His delivery was tough.

His content was tough. but he actually wasn't speaking fucking foul vernacular. He was a fly niggins. Yeah, to this day, he still made that U-T for him, just for him. Yeah, they definitely made you think when their record cut off they were selling crap. Those are the ones that were in a cell warrant. Dr. Dre or Prima? Dre, man.

Dre by far. Okay. So that Super Bowl halftime, man. Okay. We're talking about Dre and Prie. But you bring it a producer or artist? Everything. Don't find the criteria now.

He said, Jerry. Rap? Yeah, yeah. You can't separate nobody. No, no. No, no. Primo, yeah. Primo, yeah.

Napa. 90s hip hop or 2000 hip hop? 90s, huh? Can't compare. Pock and that came out after? Y'all is stripping. Little dirt or little baby? Dirk.

I'll go both. Both? All right. Drink. And this is the last one, and then we got two more questions, and then you can wrap it up. I know you got to go to the video. Okay.

You ain't drink, Paul. I'm watching you. I am. Not you am. Come on. You're the last one. The last one. I can't let you let you let you live out here.

I can't let you leave out here like, you know, I'm going to say. You know what I'm going to say? That you stay serious. This is the, I don't know, let me not lead the witness. Loyalty or respect. Mm-hmm. They're both run concurrent, though. No.

But that's one And that Max I mean Both Yeah You can't have one You can't have one without the other Yeah

I agree You need both for those That's the part of the question Where we say You should take a shot Yeah We should take a shot For that one

God comes down Max God God says Yo God text you Tell them to meet you at Prime 112 Y'all sit down You have a salad

God say, yo, I think to make one record to save humanity. That was two parts to this record. One of the records is people dead or alive. Producer or the person that's on the hook. But then the other record is someone else to live. Producer and someone who's on the hook? Who are you picking for the... Pock and Dre?

Mm-hmm. That's for the... If you asked me to do a record that's going to save humanity, give me Pock and Dre. Okay. I resurrect humanity. That was fucked up if I hadn't come home. Just call it is what it is. Right, right.

No. Shit was nasty. Thank you, Biggerville. Thank you, French Montana. Now, a record for people that's a live. And I need a live, a live artist. A live artist and a live producer. Give me this nigga right here.

Oh, one, two, three. Aw. And give me, and give me Dre, man. Dre again. I need Dre. Oh, man, I brought the right beat today. Yeah, see. I told you.

I'm trying to sneak them in the studio. I brought the right beat today. Yeah. This nigga got my one. My friend beats out today. This is a poster picture. You, Dre? I texted me immediately.

What are you doing? I'm saying some back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got one for him. You know what I did? You know, I got a whole. Yeah, yeah. I didn't be in the studio with them since.

That was crazy because, like I said, when I was listening to y'all shit, that's how I know y'all shit is classic. Every beat that played it, I wrote in my head. So every beat I was in the studio with him, every beat, and I was like, I haven't done that in it so long. So it was crazy because he didn't have an engineer. So he thought that he was fronting on me, but I ain't have it all together. So I went back and boy, has I been right in, okay, make some noise to me. That's right. That's right.

That you're right. You're right. You're right. Whatever you can. Right. So what is the next step for you, right? You know what I'm saying? Like right now, the world is at your, everyone is, you know, looking towards you.

Everyone, I don't think there's a phone call that you can make right now, and a person will say no. I think one is your personality. One is everyone know you wavy. One is everyone know your talent. But how do you pursue that from here? Like how to, and stay humble? Just keep working, man.

Keep the kids around. Keep my friends around. and keep putting out product. We're going to keep dropping product. We got more product. I got a million-dollar baby about to drop. We got the Cosmos about to drop. And you already heard the Coke Wave.

I dropped the Purge. That's all we're going to keep doing. The music is never going to get old. It's only going to get better. We have better music than the Cokeway. The Cosmos album is better. I'm not even saying better. It's just a different texture.

My million-dollar baby, different texture. So I'm going to just stay humble, keep working, stay great, keep the kids around. Right. And do what I do, man. Now with that, with the success of y'all going independent, where are you leaning towards for your solo? Major or stay independent? I mean, if it's in there for me, it's in there for me. I'm going to just keep working to the opportunity presents itself, to somebody, you know,

to he put it in front of me and they look. look like it's going to do what it do. And then do it do until then I'm going to go to the studio every day, put my head there and keep working. That was a producer you haven't worked with that you want to work with? I ain't worked with no, really nobody. Adreve, Ferrell, Timmerlin.

Timberlin, see that. I fuck with Timberlin. Like, it's, man, I ain't never work with Primo. Wow, I care that. There's a lot of producers I ain't with. I seen Dad's in the Swiss Nieve, but I fuck, I fuck with Swiss. He'll eventually get up and go on the stool.

But Fred Joe said some shit when we was on the show. He was like, he said I'd be in my own lane. It'd be hard for dudes to like work with me and shit because they think I don't want to take notes when I'm in the stool. But that's far from the truth. You know what I'm saying? So I'm at the level now where if the record,

like I want to make the big record now. My boy got me on some shit like, nah, you gotta hit that one. He said the one, and that's the real shit, the one could be better than the album. I could make you more money than 10 albums. That's the fact. If it's the one, naga, that shit had your ass on out of Latin coffee. Lil Dight ain't out there? You know, y'all isn't.

Go get a little Dike. Yeah. We got these girls behind a little time, right? And we got a little Dike, right? Oh, yeah. You see, I know. She's like, you know who you should have on the show? And I was like, who?

She's like, that nigger that just came home with the grades. And he's just everywhere. We were like, all right. She was yelling at who was born in. She was on the phone. She was on the phone, though. How the fuck did she caught that? Go get a little.

And she was cold about it. Oh, God. I didn't know she saw him. I ain't know she saw him. She wasn't too elevated. Yeah, yeah. She wasn't too elevated. Yeah, yeah.

You know what it's crazy. She predicted that you was coming here. So, I know I asked you this in a different way, but what you're doing right now is remarkable, right? You know what I'm saying? Sometimes you could be, what is that shit, to your own success. Like, I remember me making Super Thug, and then me dropping, oh, no, right after that.

And people were saying, that was good, but it ain't, oh, no. You know what I mean? then I drop and grimy and they're like, that's good, but it ain't, it ain't, oh, no, no. Like, this record is huge, bro. Like, that's why I had to ask, like, yo, y'all independent?

Like, because it doesn't feel independent. Like, it feels like a rollout of a major, which says a lot to y'all because it's like, you know what I mean? Yeah, shot to Lola, shot to Silent Coach, shots of the whole team, it takes a team. I mean, we've been with a label for about, like, 15 years.

So I know all, you know what I'm saying? All the truth. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? He, when he got locked up, he was in the era where there was no rollouts. Right. You know what I'm saying?

We just dropped. You were so hot that your records you just followed. Yeah, yeah. But now it's like, well, all this new technology and, you know, like, you need a rollout. And I was telling him that. I'm saying, so he came home, he dropped this tape, no rollout. I said, watch this. All right.

You put a full rollout. You know what I'm saying? They both rank concurrent with each other. Is Dubai the best place in the world? The Bronx. is. That's right, baby. Only a Bronx

would say that. Nobody else in the world would say that. No, but do you adapt when you were in Dubai? Like, Mel, man, I love Dubai. You know? I just don't like being nowhere for too long, man. But Dubai is just somewhere

there's like everybody that got some type of money is there. Right. That's what for fat. All right. But you plugged in. I need the link. Tell them. Let me listen.

Let me go. Tell them, niggas, give Bleak the Snoop treatment. You know, shit out there now. Snoop the- When I was out there, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was smoking bogey. Who smoking weed? They smoking bud out there now, bro.

They fucking shitting. Only Snoop got a, got to, got to. Yeah. Yeah, listen, I've been seeing. Snoop the only, you ratting on niggas doing that. I am. Oh, my bad. You take that out.

Yeah, yeah. They're my thing kicked out. Snoop the only one where is. And Rihanna. Rihanna had the past. Rihanna, too, is written-in-law. That's what I'm telling.

I'm trying to negotiate with French. You're in a Dubai. You've written in law. I think they'll let me smoke out there, though. Yeah, because you with the plug. Just what I'm trying to say. Those are good wording. When old people's come out here.

Yeah. Ah, ah. Do we say a artist that you want to work? We said producer. What's the artist you would want to work with? I work with anybody, bro. As long as it's a good record, it's a good, It's a good vibe.

I work with anybody. How about you with Nyes? I love to work with Nogh. Shout to Nause, man. He did the waveguard joint. I was hoping he reached out at some point like, you're going to being this match in the stool. Come on.

He was on the first waveguard, too. Let's cook up OG. Let's cook up OG. Okay, I know you've got to get up out of here, man. You're going to take a kiss up. Drops in this room. Yo, thank you all, man. Shout to Max B.
