Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is reportedly fully Team Max B and is interested in helping the jailed hip-hop artist breathe freedom again.
According to Bad Boy Entertainment’s French Montana, Yeezy personally reached out to him to see how he could help Max.
“He’s probably the first one to call me, out of nowhere, when his album just dropped, like an hour after it dropped, and just asked me, ‘What can we do to get Max B out? Let me use my power to get him out.’ That never happened before from nobody. So, I got a lot of respect for him for that because you know how much Max B means to me and the culture of hip-hop.” (Hot 97)
In December, website SupportMaxB.com, had updates on Max’s condition and a personal message from the jailed rapper.
Back in May, Max talked about the possibility of releasing new music once he is released.
“I can’t really see my waves. I only know what people tell me or what family members or fans write me, what people tell me what’s going on. I don’t really see it or hear the songs on radio so I don’t really know the impact my music has until I get back out there in the flesh but, you know, the people listening, I appreciate it, the love is there. I love y’all and thank y’all. That’s what it’s about – I got a nice little catalog lined up. We definitely going to do some things when I hit the town I want to get a double album, I wanna finish the ‘Domain’ saga. That thing is like the Lord Of The Rings, I got about ten of them things – I wanna give them a thing of beauty.” (Revolt TV)
In fall 2012, reports surfaced and claimed four million signatures could help get Max out of the slammer.
Max B’s goal is to obtain four million signatures in his effort to be freed from prison. “We trying to get the petition on ‘Pardon The Wave’ signed,” Max B told AllHipHop.com. “We trying to go at the governor; we trying to go at the president. To the people that’s not signing the petition and screaming ‘Free Max B,’ that’s not wavy. Do the right thing; sign the petition.” (All Hip Hop)
i been a fan of hip hop since my first Kid Capri mixtape…so can someone tell me exactly what Max B does mean to the culture?
I think in a way he influenced and created that whole rap sing type style they all use now. He would have had his run I think and did some writing possibly.
appreciate that….cause I’ll be honest beside hearing his name here and there I never really fucked with dude. So I really didn’t know. Glad you saw what I was saying as honest cause lord knows in these sites dudes be talking reckless for no reason.
yeah i dont know why dudes on these sites be so anxious to attack. You should check out a few of his videos. He cant really sing but somehow it sounds kinda good the way he does it on some of his hooks. I thought he was gone blow before he got locked up. Just goes to show you Jim had to be keeping more than his fair share of money for Max to take that risk on a $75,000.
Def will check him out. Respect!
