I know this is sacrilege but M.O.B mixtape to me is a top five group album ever as good as like enter the wu tang or straight outta comptin


It was my favorite project released that year and the first time I heard stack and max b


straight outta Compton isn't actually good enough to be in a top 5 group album discussion anyway/
chit, I might not put 36 chambers in there either.

I was born in 1996 so chill with the criticism it's just my perspective since I was a kid at the time :whoa:

But yeah my introduction to hip hop was really Dipset since 04/05 is when I started going outside by myself and venturing and my older friends put me on . Knowing that they weren't to far from where I'm from made me connect with them immediately . I have old pictures of me having my bandanna cocked to the side like Juelz and all that . The first album I ever had was Jim Jones Harlem :My diary of a summer after hearing Baby girl / Gz up on rap city begging my mother with persistence until she finally bought it . That album is another personal classic to me and stayed on rotation the whole end of 05/ early 06 . :wow:




:wow: Now jim jones is no where near the best lyricist at all , but that nikka was putting out bangers galore even though you could coincide that with the Max & stacks influence .

But in the summer of 06 when I went to the barbershop to cut my hair and somebody was selling mixtapes in a box I started browsing in the box and I noticed Jim jones in the front of the mixtape with new other artist in the background .. I automatically recognized Max from the baby girl video , but I didn't know who was Stack bundles or mel matrix . So I bought the CD and I went straight to my crib and popped the CD in my radio I had in my room at the time . By the time I finished with that tape I ain't even care about Jim at that point it was about Stacks Bundles & Max B at that point once Max came through with the melodic flow/chrous and Stacks spitting his ass off shyt had 10 year old me memorized :wow: Then by the next week that was all that was coming out of nikkas cars and boomboxes in the park the movement was in full fukkin effect :wow:


I been doin' this, hoppin' out, lookin' all Harlemish
Shoe game marvelous, heavy on his charm and wrist
You ain't got the heart to risk ya life for ya lifestyle
Pay to get acquitted for the charges like Mike trial (stacks) :wow:



Just look for the mixtape yourself because I'm really boutta fukk around and post the whole tape here , such a cesspool of bangers :wow:

Not to long after I found out about limewire and typed in stack bundles and the first song that popped up

then

:wow:
After that stacks was officially my favorite rapper , I remember when the school year started all that was on my mp3 was byrdgang . Then at the end of the school year he pasted away I remember they announced on it on hot 97 and I hit the
986613_o.gif
in my moms whip that shyt had me furious he was suppose to have next and nikkas just executed him like that . R.I.P Stacks man :to:

Then max came through and was the remedy to a nikkas grievance when he came out with Public Domain 2 & 3 ,wavy crocket , coke wave , quarantine , goon music So much fukking piff , then cut the GOAT rap promo shytting on Jim & dipset :wow:

It seemed as if Max B had next :ahh: similar to how I felt about Stacks
Then nikkas hit him with 75 :damn:
Now I'm in the crib on some
full


Then like that that era came to a closure ...
Now of course older rap fans are going to feel otherwise like that era wasn't really captivating to them and I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I was 10 - 13 during that era so shyt had a profound effect on me and the piff released during that time period will always bring me back to a simpler / optimistic time in my life :mjcry:

R.I.P Stack Bundles & Free Max B


fukked with Jimmy from rip, became a max fan through the young homie... Never looked back.

Jimmy had a team of hungry ass nikkas

their story is tragic as fukk :francis: Max B and Stack both have superstar potential.

If they blew up a few years later they would've been taking in so much money that I doubt Stack, Max, or Melly would be in their situations. Although Max got snitched on a situation he wasn't even there for. :unimpressed:

Harlem's American Gangster was :wow:

Personal classic
Love me no more was my favorite track back then. I was in the 10th grade rocking the leather jacket with a scarf on my head, during those NYC winters during school. I wanted to be just like Jimmy :laff:
