Rappers are always debating who belongs on the greatest of all time lists, and now Max B is putting his own name beside some of New York’s biggest legends. Conversations about the GOATs of Hip Hop have been part of the culture for years, and during a recent sit down on Million Dollaz Worth of Game with Gillie and Wallo alongside French Montana, Max made it clear where he believes he stands among NYC rap icons.
“Look, after Big, Jay, and Nas, you can put me on that mothf*cker right after that,” Max said confidently. “That’s how I feel about it after that. I can prove it.” He continued by saying, “After them, you can’t really... put ’em up.” Wallo stepped in to make sure Max truly believed he deserved to be mentioned beside the heavyweights of Hip Hop.
“So, after Big, Jay, Nas, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane...” Wallo started to say before Max cut him off. Gillie then brought LL Cool J into the discussion as well. Max responded, “When it comes to creativity, or just consistent songwriting, I just don’t think anybody got the catalog to match me. Look at my catalog! Look at my tapes! Look at my domains!... Look at the Coke Wave!”
French Montana also jumped into the conversation, pointing out that some rappers only stay hot for a short moment before fading out. Wallo pushed back by mentioning that Big Daddy Kane has managed to remain respected for decades. Max quickly dismissed that argument. “Kane? I ain’t seen Kane? When’s the last time you seen Big Daddy Kane? N*gga, I just did 18 years, I ain’t seen Kane, he wasn’t even on the kiosk! Big Daddy Kane?!”
Do you think Max B’s legacy really puts him above some of the other legendary New York emcees? Watch the clip below and decide for yourself.

JAŸ-Z has had a noteworthy 2026 so far. Later this year, he is set to take the stage in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris to mark the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt. On top of that, his recent appearance at Roots Picnic has sparked speculation that a new album could be in the works.
Any time JAŸ-Z makes a public appearance, it tends to be a win for hip hop. On Monday evening, he was among the high profile figures attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Madison Square Garden was packed with excitement, with President Donald Trump and a host of well known celebrities occupying courtside seats.
In the images below, Hov can be seen as one of the many famous faces at the arena. He spent time on the court before tip off, attracting plenty of attention from fans. Given his status, it was hardly surprising that so many people wanted a closer look.
Before the game got underway, the rap icon was spotted outside the Roc Nation offices interacting with supporters. In a rare moment, Jay took time to autograph vinyl records for fans. It's not something that happens often. With the Knicks reaching the NBA Finals, however, the atmosphere around the city has been electric, and Hov appears to be embracing every minute of it.
As for the Finals themselves, New York entered Monday night's matchup holding a 2-0 advantage in the series. The Spurs responded with a victory behind a dominant performance from Victor Wembanyama. The result trimmed the Knicks' lead to 2-1 and introduced some real pressure into the series for the first time.
The championship battle looks increasingly likely to be a long one, but the Knicks still have a chance to return to San Antonio with a commanding 3-1 lead.
