• XXL NEWS: Max B Free From Byrd Gang Records

    Tuesday Oct 21 3:03 PM CDT posted by xxl staff

    Max B. and Jim Jones have been engaged in a battle of words for some time now. But it looks like things could get pretty interesting moving forward. The “Silver Surfer” rapper is now free from his Byrd Gang contract with Jones, XXLmag.com has learned.

    “I’m as free as a bird,” the rapper told XXLmag.com exclusively. “Now it gives me the ability to ride without no remorse, no sympathy, no pity. I’m riding on everything. I’m riding. I’ma ride on my rivalry for the season. It’s gonna be so wavy. So big, so heavy, so controversial. It’s gonna be like none other.

    “I’m gonna speak about everything, Jim Jones,” Max continued. “I got more deep, down, dark secrets.”

    The rapper said he was able to get out of his contract through legal negotiations. He explained he’s received paper work from the New York Secretary of State that prevents Jones from pursuing legal action against Max B. in the future. He’s recognized as Persona Suri Juris.

    “I’m not even part of the U.S. Government laws,” Max B. said. “I’m not a citizen of the United States, I’m dead ass. My laws, the laws you go by, I don’t have to follow. As long as I don’t purposely hurt nobody, I’m straight.”

    The rapper said his next move is to release a mixtape and a DVD. The DVD, “Animal House,” will chronicle Max’s past year and his tribulations. The mixtape is the final in the “Public Domain” series.
    PD5, according to Max, will include up to 15 original tracks and a few freestyles. The rapper said he’s ready to start a bidding war between record labels for his services. For his next album, he hopes to collaborate with the likes of Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Nelly Furtado.

    “I’m gonna be 10 times better than [Jim Jones] ever was,” Max said.—Anthony Thomas, with reporting by Jayson Rodriguez

    Yo, them Dipset dudes get on other dude’s jocks somethin seriously ghey.
    I mean, remember when Jimmy the Dirt got his label deal at Warner? All he could do is talk about Jay.
    Now Max B gets out his contract and the only thing he can talk about is Jimmy the Dirt?
    Duke, take some advice aight? NOONE GIVES A FLYING FUCK about Jimmy the Dirt!!!!!! You will not eat from beefing with him because he isnt big enough, never mind the fact that everyone is over that beef shit. Seriously, when 50 isn’t even trying to sell off beef anymore (track with game on busta’s album?) you know that gimmick is dead.
    STAY IN YOUR LANE!

    Max b is exactly the reason why NY will never recapture thier former glory. First of all lets be frank. Max sounds like a cheap Makaveli clone, so did Jim jones on his earlier stuff before others began writting for him.

    How does NY go from Big L,Biggie, Jigga, Nas, and Jada actually scratch Jada, DMX..)(yep bitches check his records sales and the influence he had in the late 90’s early 2000’s)

    How does NY go to these purple clothes wearing, half a fag harlem dudes. Shame

    Sorry Max-B, I dont think any of those artist will do a song with you, you have better chances of ghost writing for them then you do making a song for them.

    Max B free? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW [With A Flavor Flav Impression]. Is anybody really checking for this Kid. Rappers now days are so quick to sign anything just to get some quick paper that never read the fine print or question WHAT they are signing. Business, Money & Friends never mix especially when you got people getting raped by the label and now feel they also need to pass the favor to their “friends”. You would think most of these artists would take note to the struggles of the LOX, Dr. Dre [x2: Ruthless & Death Row], Young Buck, Juelz, Mos Def and any other artist who sold themselves short by not reading the fine print of their contracts and being in a bind due to it.

    Damn, thats whats up. Max-B can really spit, I dont think he’ll have a problem getting a major deal. He has produced a lot of hits, I always knew he would get on.

    Say what you want about dirty one eyed willie, ( he IS terrible)..No one would know a damn thing about this Jeri Curl wearing, purple and pink loving, Newports smoking (Niggaz need to get off the ports !) half a fag dude if Jim aint give him some shine. Go youtube some Jim Jones videos and you will see this groupie happily trecking around with Jim sleeping in hotels with 10 other dudes, sleeping on the floor broke like the rest of the groupie crew members that rappers w/ money tow around w/ them. Now he’s a boss? Fukkk out of here

    max b seriously you suck balls. your rhymes suck and you have the most annoying voice in rap since amil. your annoying ass voice and singing (i guess thats what that was) ruined that cam’ron diss song on jay-z a couple years ago. you really think j. timberlake, or any of them would really work with you? ha ha! they dont even know who your wack ass is. they could throw you back in jail and no one would give a fuck. just go back to what ever country you dreamed up that you say your from now.

    this deserves a Negro Please.

    These rappers are all trying to make us believe the hype. some succeed (i.e. wayne) while others like Max & Dirty Jim, not so much…

    ‘tho, I must admit Jim had some of us “flying high” 2 years ago but then Cam’ dissapeared…

    skull game, byrdchest gang, WTF is that???
