Holdin' Down The Culture
During a soon-to-be aired interview from inside jail, MAX B reflected on his past beef with fellow Dipset member Jim Jones. As is typical, the beef revolved around money. During the brief clip Max states at one point, “It was just egos clashing, a lack of respect, a lack of everything. That shit don’t mix well…It should’ve went a different way. I think today, we would’ve handled the situation different. But, we was young. We was all crazy.”

In an which took place nearly 7 years ago with Complex, Max B stated,
“They was under this impression—I think they all adopted this from Cam’ron—they were all into this impression that the new guys must pay the dues, and they don’t deserve this, and when they go out on a show they only get $300….z’
“I’m like, ‘What the f*ck, are you f*cking kidding me?’ I’m like, ‘Number one: I do all the f*cking records around here. Number two: all the records we producing in the studio—these are fucking singles you puttin’ out, radio spins! Where’s my sh*t? Why when I go perform at a show, and you making excess amount of dollars, you making ten, fifteen grand, how the f*ck is you giving me $300? I’m doing eight, nine fucking records! I’m out here sweatin’ too! When you got drama and beef in different cities, and motherf*ckers is throwing chairs on the stage—they throwin’ them sh*ts at me too! I want money.’ This is what all the beef start stemmin’ from. I always needed money. I’m like, ‘I need money. I can’t live off $300. Naw, man, you gotta pay me accordingly. Or let me make my own money. Let me get my own manager, or assistant. Let me book my own sh*t.'”
