In a surprising turn of events at the Roots Picnic show featuring Jay-Z, rapper Max B made headlines with his bold claims about his place in the pantheon of New York hip-hop. During a recent interview on “Million Dollars Worth of Game,” the Harlem artist ranked himself just behind legends like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Nas, igniting a firestorm of debate among fans and artists alike.
Max B didn’t hold back, asserting that he deserves a spot above iconic figures such as Rakim and Big Daddy Kane. “I just don’t think nobody got the catalog to match me,” he stated confidently, positioning himself as a formidable contender in the New York rap hierarchy. His remarks quickly set social media ablaze, with many questioning whether his self-assessment holds water.
