As a southern hip hop connoisseur I can honestly said I was outside for this entire era I was only 13 at the time .. the DVD’s, the mixtapes, the blogs, etc .. the Coke Wave era was beyond amazing .. I was the first nigga in NC on that Max/French fasho .
You had to be there to understand! Max was crushing the underground mixtape scene OUTSIDE of French. French is like a GOD when it came down to the dvd era. Once he changed his flow and dropped it was ova. Jim and Max one of the best if not the best duo artist ever in NY. This was a time ! Shouts to the South Bronx 💯
The way French talk about gangsta sht compared to how troy ave talk about it is two different worlds. French was all documented too and speaks matter of fact with his, he actually down plays it
Max B and French had me crying 😂 when Max B kept singing "I got Christie on my cellular phone, I got Christie on my cellular phone 😁😂😂 That's Jim Jones wifey, they were trolling Jim Jones heavy on those DVD'S 😂😂
@@gokugotopnah check out that clip with lil cease … that right proves why his presence is needed sometimes I can’t front lol I was gettin annoyed with dude but after that smif n Wessun episode but like I said check out that lil cease interview clip
Listen, when this man got with Max B that’s when things changed for the better for French. Max B had the music & French had the money to back Max B. 2008 to 2009 Max had shit locked down. Then French came out with Coke Boys in 2010 with Chinx, & wow, what a fucking street run. Once he signed with Diddy & went commercial his content watered down. Still a few gems here & there, but nothing like it was when it was just straight mixtapes. Max B himself put out like 30, 40 tapes from like ‘08 to ‘09. & he still kept going up until they hit him with 75 years. Chinx & French developed their styles from Max. & the beef with Jim put even more eyes on them. I always loved how even though Max & French & Jim were going back & forth, out of the respect for Stacks, Chinx was left out of it. That feeling from Dipset to Coke Boys will never be replicated, duplicated, copied, nothing. Shit like that will never happen again. If you want to go back in time & catch the wave a bit, here’s a few notable mixtapes that I can think of off the top of my head. French Montana - Live From Africa Jim Jones - Street Religion (Streets Don’t Love Me No More Edition) Max B - Public Domain (Million Dollar Baby) Max B - Public Domain 2 Chinx Drugz - Hurry Up & Die Vol. 3 French Montana - The Coke Boys French Montana - Coke Boys 2 Max B - Million Dollar Baby 2 (Rise Of The Silver Surfer) Max B - Public Domain 3 French Montana & Max B - Coke Wave Chinx Drugz - Flight 2011 Chinx Drugz - Cocaine Riot Jim Jones - Vampire Life Max B - Quarantine There’s a lot more but I can’t think of all of them. Regardless, s/o French Montana & Jim. Riot In Peace Stack Bundles & Chinx Drugz. Free Max B
I always tell people i been listenin to french since like 05, they think he came out in 2011, i been rockin wit him since the cocaine city dvds, he been 🔥🔥 i always give french music a listen cause of the grind he started back then. I dont think He really know how far them dvds reached, im originally from NY but been livin in va since a teen, loved them dvds back then, i had all of them, what a time
I’ve never been around anyone that listens to french montana. I may have used the wrong word “cool” but unless you are from New York only lame dudes listen to french’s music
I respect how he tells the Jim stories, without acting like it was one sided, like most people would, most would leave out Jim throwing ice on them and just mention what they did the whole time ..we did this we did that, we had Jim running scared ..... He didn't do that , he said it was on from both sides
I always respected French when I saw a video of him and his crew outside and A guy and girl where nearby and French told his crew to chill out because they were tryna Holla at the girl. He Was like " that's dudes girl "
Lil Cease was narrating the Rucker shit & it was HILARIOUS! They kept playing it back in slow motion!!!! They even used the cartoon running sound effects when Cam took off running😲😂😂🤣🤣 Jim ended up on top of an actual Ice Cream truck!!!!😆😆😂😂🤣🤣
@@waterbottlecrinkle6973 London dude was like "Shout out to Brixton Jim Jones!...and I don't mean the States Jim Jones!". Then he told Juelz "Now u can shout out your Jim Jones" and Juelz was like "Ok ok..."🤣🤣🤣
@@DonYoGi8331 You guys in the States are our inspiration and what greater thing to do than to compete with that which inspires you? We're with you for eternity, remind those pigs not to play with us. Get Zimmerman and the rest.
Great work Math. As an audio engineer I wish the audio was better on your program. Dudes aren’t fully clear. The audio is low-fi. You need everyone Properly mic’ed up.
And these are all accurate stories!! I remember my Uncle Andrew and I back in 02' watching the Junior Mafia/ Jim fight on DVD. The mixtape era back then boy was Poppin!! Some of the greatest music and stories you ever heard.
French was playin both sides. He was following Dipset with the camera for the first Cocaine City DVD. It had Cam'ron on the cover and the main interview was JR Writer. Then he was following Dipset and Jim around from Vol. 1 - 4. Then the same volume 4, he put out the Rucker Park footage trying to be cool with Lil' Cease. Then same volume 4, he put out a Maino interview about him beatin up Cease. Then same volume he put out footage of stolen Terror Squad pieces and same volume had Pistol Pete on there. Dude was a flip flopper. Everyone was mad at him, so he had to run to 50, but then it wasn't long till 50 and him weren't cool.
French answered this a long time ago, it's because he got shot in the head which made him rhyme different...kinda like how when Beanie got poked up the lung I think and his entire voice changed
Hate French all you want but you got to hear the magic of coke wave !!!! That French max and Dame grease was a classic !!!! The sound of gritty no engineering in mind . Give it a listen !!!
Im an old head, and my little cousin told me to listen to Max. I said that nigga wack! Then I started to really listen to him and I was like OK ! Max was that dude. Definitely unique
My first time ever hearing of the wave god and French, when they made a reaction video to hell tell on freestyle Friday on 106 and park lol😂 “ he gangster with his bandanna on”””😂😂😂😂
The french/max beef with jim was funny yooo it went a little past rap diss beef but at the end it wasn’t like rap beef nowadays where people get clapped up it was just talking shit and fightin and rap dissing the mecca era of hip hop beef a good ol 1on1 scrap not empty the whole clip on you like nowadays
A lot of people don’t know French Montana was really out here in the streets in the 00s. French Montana now doesn’t look anything like the french from like 2008
This was an ERA!!! The young kids don’t know nothing bout this. Free Max B!!!!

I'm from the South Bronx IYKYK 💯
I’m from Connecticut. French and max was always in Connecticut all over our hoods
Just like maddd other NY rappers
That nigga in the brown is a soft hater... French should've not responded to him..."he's not from the streets"
cuz he irrelevant outside NY
Huh?
Mecca said “the Rucker when jim was running” lol then he tried to switch it to “yeah the fight” lol

It's time for a True Life interview.

chrissy touched it in miami
Jim still in his feelings over bigavel fkn his girl
“What made you change your cadence “ great question a lot of rappers should be asked that question in these future interviews.

CT was insane with early french and max b ! Everyone i mean everyone was on it. I grew up in that shit still listen to this day
That uncle murda joint was my first introduction to french
I never saw bigga so excited and active in a convo lol.. French wave was different
Alike to the Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz interview
My dog dropping off a bird to French on camera and French calling him back to get another one was gold lol
What dvd was that?
👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️
I’m glad French and Jim could laugh about this now that situation could’ve went bad and somebody could’ve lost their life
Can’t with Max tho 😂
Is that the Martin jacket French got on?
math be stirring up more controversy
French seem like a hella cool dude, glad him and Jim squashed that beef.
Beef ain't neva squashed it just die down a bit 💯
Squashed it did a whole vlog together
French and Jim took max’s whole style. Say I’m lying
You not
Max got endless sounds
Not French.. if anything he was influenced. Jim is another story
10yrs of beefing 🤦🏾... At least both parties are still here to tell their story 🙏🏾
thanks for the CT shot out
Everyone has a choice to make in life and that is to live right or live wrong.
That was a crazy beef lol used to watch the tapes in High school all the way in Florida lol
Jim offered French a fair one French turned it down 😂
YO ARE YOU EVER GOING TO RELEASE THE EYL INTERVIEW? DID THEY LEAVE YALL FEELING STUPID OR SOMETHING?

Not really
If anything he did his best to stop them from being a household name lol
Good question on that flow change frfr 🔥🔥
