Max B Places Himself Behind Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas in New York Rap Hierarchy

The claim renews questions about how hip-hop weighs catalog, influence, longevity.

Overview

  • During a Million Dollaz Worth of Game episode with French Montana, Max B said he belongs right after Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Nas among New York rappers and cited his creativity and catalog as proof.
  • When hosts mentioned Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J, he argued none match his consistency as a complete recording artist.
  • He questioned Big Daddy Kane’s recent visibility by saying he had not seen Kane during his 18 years in prison, which drew swift pushback online.
  • After criticism, he posted a follow-up video saying he remains a fan of Kane but felt let down after the third album, identifying Taste of Chocolate.
  • Fat Joe later defended Kane in a separate clip, saying the Brooklyn legend’s legacy should not be dismissed as fans kept the ranking debate active on social platforms.
