    Always wanted to him to work with Z-Ro, but it's stuff like this that paved the way for Rocky to borrow cues from Texas rap.

    "Y'all better leave them boys alooooooone."

    Don't remember the last time I heard of a rapper bold enough to freestyle over the "Politics As Usual" instrumental, while not coming close, but not doing bad for giving us his own anecdotally introspective renditon of an undeniable Top 5 Track from Jay-Z's Magnum Opus.

    Ever since his big breakthrough on Killa Cam's Jay-Z diss "You Got To Love It" , Max B has made a name for himself as a certified Hook specialist; it's on full-display on this ride-or-die chick classic and is a big reason why this is one his most popular songs. "b---- had the nerve to take a piss in the lobby / Now she talking bout catching body" crazy thing about this line is it's the very reason why he ended up getting locked up.

    This was another of the early Biggavel songs I distinctly remember from those days. I swear you can almost hear Jim Jones rapping the verses, the beat of course is tailored for Max's melodic warbling and that hook is pure gold. I was tempted to throw in the remix which is equally brilliant, but It'd be a sin not for me to exclude this essential Max masterpiece.

    Such a hook-master. New York usually doesn''t breed those, and hasn't, especially since 50 fell off 10 years ago.

    Now that you mention it that's true, not including French since he's Max's disciple.

    We did have some of the older guys (50, Ja, m---) that were good at it but I think since we always had sample-based hooks and during Bad Boy's run they had R&B artists it never really was a necessity.

    This one is always tricky to answer but I suggest Million Dollar Baby 2 and Public Domain 3 since those have some of his most identifiable work.

    If you listen closely you can hear Wiz Khalifa's Kush & OJ being born in this song. Fresh off from splitting with Jim Jones' Byrdgang, Max goes straight for Capo's head in the opening lines "I know them n----s need me / I was giving them the loot, but them n----s blew it" which alludes to the fact that Max did indeed carry Jimmy's music during the mid 00s with his song-writing. That point is further drilled in this song; he's hungry and confident, the hook pretty much says it all.
